May 10, 2009 Mother's Day and I am 23 months

A tribute to mommies:

Mommies are wonderful. They hug us when we cry and let us play outside. They give us yummy things to eat, and not just veggies, even treats! I love my mommy lots and lots and I KNOW she loves me!

And here are just a few small notes of what I have been up to. I am growing and using words like crazy. However, I am usually quiet in larger groups of kiddos, until I am alone with Mommy and Daddy or with my bestest friend, Bella. Latest words in the past week or so: Heather, Dave, Buddy Bella-Boo (really cute!), pool!, swim, kick, spla, face, church, Luke, Carline, Reen, Suey, Mari, fops (flip flops), coffee, mug, running, walk, people, kids, coputer, ca-ra (camera), Happy Modders Day!

Latest expressions: Jesa love me, Daddy i happy, Joseph i happy, Mommy i happy. Doggie barking, baby crying.

Mommy wanted to add pictures to this post but, well, Daddy has the ca-ra so we will have to wait.

Happy Mother's Day to everyone I know who is a Mommy!

Classic desert weekend

My wonderful DC babysitter, Sarah and our friend Susannah came to visit last weekend. We had a great weekend and the weather was great -- they kept saying they did not want to leave. We did all sorts of fun things. I showed them how "I do ha" (I do it), how to "running," and we went to see many choo choo tran at the park. Here are some of the pictures from our weekend:
Notice my very all boy band-aids. I really only needed one... but I had to have two:

Easter springfullness and 22 months

Hi everyone! It has been a busy few weeks. I turned 22 months during Holy Week and we went to FL to visit my grandparents, uncle, aunt, numerous cousins and friends. It was a really wonderful trip.

Before I get to some pictures, I would like to bring you up to speed on my latest accomplishments. I have many words... the latest is gorgeous, oh man! oh gosh! cupcake, icing, sarah, susa, gammy, gammpy, josh, kati, caancy, wiggy, tuck (these last three are dogs), syd-cousin, helecopy, aaahplane, tractor, dumtruck, biitruck, skoo bus, boat (usually followed by row, row and hand motions for rowing), scoop, sand, wii (swing and slide), car, bikkey (for both regular and motor).

As for tricks, I love to sing songs and chat away. I also dance, a LOT, and love to hide in the cabinet. I also like hand-motions with songs (row, row and 5 little monkeys, ring-around-rosey).

Here are some pics of our goings-ons:

Thunderbirds

As you can imagine, I get a lot of Thunderbirding out here! My daddy goes to Thunderbird International Business School. I am a member of Thunderkids, mommy's in the Thunderwives club, I think there is even a band called Thunder-rhythms. But, I have to admit, all of this Thunderbirding could not prepare me for the best T'birds I have ever seen! There are 6 of them and they are the Air Force Thunderbirds and they are COOL!

I got to see them this weekend! My friend Jonathan's daddy is a pilot who flies the same kind of jet -- F-16 for those of you who are not in the know. Well, I like jets -- A LOT! I am not sure if I like them quite as much as I like helllocoppy BUT I like them. Here are some pictures of me with the F-16 and my buddies:

Me and Daddy, yes, mommy thinks I was trying to kiss the jet:

Me with the jet... yep, folks extreme fighting machine et moi:

We three:

And the 'birds:

Feast of St. Joseph, March 19

Mommy and Daddy were telling me that in some countries your patron saint day is actually more celebrated than your birthday! Well, for me, it seems that I will have two birthdays this year! My patron saint day is tomorrow, March 19, the feast of San Giuseppe. I even got presents and cards in the mail from my wonderful god-parents. Thank you so much for my red shirt and my cards! I love them!

St. Joseph was a really great guy because he learned to trust God even when he was afraid. Mommy and Daddy pray that I will learn to do the same! I am learning!

Here are a couple pictures of me opening my St. Joseph's Day presents today.

Until al prossimo, buono festa!

People are always telling me that...

babies grow up so fast! Well, as a toddler now, I think I might agree. In just only 4 months I look like such a big guy. First, this is my picture from my old preschool when I was just a wee 17 month old: And these two as well:


For those of you who haven't seen me in some time, I am growing quite fast... and I am very fast too mommy wants me to note! I like to bolt, as she calls it. She tells me to stop and turn around, but I have NO idea what she is talking about. Um, I digress...

Here are 3 shots taken of me 3months after those others... February 2009 my new school had Pony Week! I love horses so this was my kind of week! I had a cold so I look a little tired but, trust me, I loved this horse! I was the only one in my class who wanted to stay on the pony for a ride around the pin. I love horsies! Did I mention that?

My latest sillinesses!

This video was taken yesterday, Feb. 22, 2008 with my bestest girl Bella Boo!

Baby It's (Not So) Cold Outside

I know Christmas 2008 is long gone, but watch me as I attack this poor snow couple.

New Year and New Wheels!

Happy 2009 and Merry Christmas (it's the 9th day)!

I wanted to share with you all about my newest and funnest toy! I have my own Ducati! Daddy says Ducatis are the coolest motor bikes and I love "bike-yies".

And, I really cannot wait to see Baby Bella and Buddies E-man and J-man back in AZ and we can roll!

And here I am with my cute Santa outfit.

Happy Birthday Jesus and Gammy!

Today is a very special day for a couple reasons. First and foremost, Jesus came to earth as a Baby to save us as God's Son. I am learning the story of Jesus and I already know how to say his name.

The other great reason to celebrate today is that it is my Gammy's birthday! She is a wonderful Gammy and I got to spend time with her while she was in Arizona for Thanksgiving.

But, here is a little written tribute to my Gammy:
