Zoo

My new favorite TV show is Planet Earth. I LOVE watching the animals and asking "What's that?" Mommy thought a trip to the zoo was in order due to my new found love for animals. Here are some pictures of Daddy and I checking out the lions and tigers (Daddy's favorite!)

**Special Note**
I realize I forgot to put up "after" pictures of my haircut. Here is the best one Mommy has.

Haircut Round 2

As I stated in my previous entry, I was long over-due for a haircut. We put it off because of how I handled my first one. Let's just say this time was MUCH better! After 45 minutes of playing and waiting (guess that's what happens when you go on a Saturday morning) I started to whine when they called my name. This made Mommy and Daddy really nervous of what was to come, but I proved them wrong! I sat in the chair like the big boy that I am and munched on my graham crackers. Thanks Crystal for making me look like a boy again! We'll remember you for next time!!

Go Vikes!

I went to my first Vikings game on Friday night. I wasn't so sure about all the noise and fireworks at the beginning...I just sat there with a concerned look on my face and a few occasional tears. Once the game got going and everyone settled down about Brett Favre being on the field, I was back to myself. I think my favorite part was the warm ups when there were lots of balls on the field. Every time I saw a ball (which was a lot) I pointed and yelled "ball!" You're probably going to notice how long and out of control my hair is in these pictures. A haircut was a MUST the next day. Daddy was afraid I was starting to look like a little girl!

And we're off to the game. Mommy and I played a little pre-game catch in the car!

Underwater World

I went to Underwater World with my friend Sylvia. I wasn't so sure about it to begin with. It was dark, musty, and it smelled weird. I clung to Daddy pretty tight! I was much more relaxed once we got to the aquarium part. I saw lots of fish, turtles, sharks, stingrays and more.

That's a BIG stingray!

Sylvia and I with our daddies. Sylvia's daddy told me that if I stay a nice, good-looking boy, I could date her when I get older!

Look at the shark above our heads!

Reading

I love books! I love being read to and I can even read on my own. I've been turning the pages of books for a long time, but now I am voicing what's on the pages. It might sound like a different language to you, but I know exactly what I'm saying! I'm so smart that the other night when Mommy told me to go get Goodnight Moon, I walked over to a pile of like 15 books and brought back Goodnight Moon. She and Daddy were so impressed!

Here is a video of me reading a book about colors. It teaches me how to say colors in 5 different languages, so maybe I'm picking up on those instead of English!

When Grandma Mary Ann was reading my Tractor book to me she showed me that there was a mouse on every page. I thought this was so cool that I search for him on every page now. Watch my face--it's no secret when I spot the mouse! I have the "surprised" look down!

Buds

The other day I went to a beach with my cousins Anika and Jacob. Jacob and I are only 13 days apart in age. We don't really know how to play with each other yet, but we're getting there. We are both really into balls and carry and chase them everywhere. Here are some pictures of us playing next to each other. I think Anika was busy burying her legs in the sand, so she didn't make it in any of these pictures.

"Hey, the ball went that way!"

Shout Out to Uncle Mark

I have been told by many people (mostly my great aunties Carol and Ann) that I look like my Uncle Mark. He always has a hat on and when mommy and grandma were out shopping this weekend, they found a hat that is the same style as his. He doesn't wear his crooked like this, but I can see better and leave it on longer when I wear mine crooked. Here are some pictures of me sporting my new hat.

PEACE OUT!
