Fun September Activities

It's been awhile since I've posted, but that doesn't mean we haven't been busy! I have had lots of new experiences ...

... New Dessert: Soft-Serve Ice Cream in a Cone

The beard makes sense but no idea how I got it on my cheek

... New Play Place: Gatti-Town

I hear they took out
a lot of the toddler-sized activities,
but I LOVED the carousel

Ruled at air hockey

Mastered catching popcorn

Vroom, vroom!

... First 5K: Addison Oktoberfest

Pre-race; I was pretty sleepy

The last mile which I insisted on walking myself.
Who's that behind us?
Oh, that's right, NO ONE.

At the finish line

Post-race snacks and smiles

... ANOTHER New Play Place: Wiggly Play Center with my playgroup

This place is SO MUCH FUN!

"Group B" lunching (thanks Cathy!)

Mesmerized by the giant dancing dog

Saying "bye-bye" to the giant dog
which I STILL ask for, btw (thanks, Cathy!)

... First Cooking Experience: Pigs in a Blanket

So I roll, roll, roll and ...

... Wow!



Ready to enjoy!

It's hot. Blow, blow, blow.

... New Chore: Swiffering the Floors while Mommy Sweeps

Cleaning up after myself with my Claire-sized Swiffer

Mommy, I think you missed a spot!

What else is going on? I have a new bedtime ritual each night in which I go through my roster of everyone I know one-by-one, and Mommy reassures me where they are (for some reason, they're usually sleeping). I've just started calling Mommy "Mom-mee" instead of "Mama" which makes her a little sad because she says it makes me sound too grown up (wait until I shock her with "MOM!" next), and I'm learning my numbers, letters, and colors in addition to picking up new words every day. Have you ever thought about how hard it is to tell the difference between "A" and "4" or "B" and "8"?!

Summer ended and Fall is here,
so I got to bring out my fuzzy vest which I call "doggie".
