My First Haircut

So Mommy decided that it was time to get me a haircut. I was rather enjoying my hair, but she insisted. We went to one of those 'kid-friendly' barber shops where they put Sesame Street on the TV, have lots of toys, and you get your haircut in a race car. All of these distractions so that I wouldn't focus on losing my beautiful blonde locks, but I'm way smarter than that!

At first, I fought the whole experience...

Then, I pleaded for help ...

Finally, I resigned to the experience with indignation ...

But, i could hold back my displeasure no more when the lady put the hair gel in!!!! ...

Once it was all said and done, I guess it was ok, but I'm not looking forward to going back!

Anyone for Michiana beach?

Lake Michigan + Michigan border + Indiana Boarder = Michiana Beach!!! Not a bad combo! My friend Hannah invited me over. Our moms got us all ready to go in this great big wagon. We were so excited!

After a few minutes though, my patience wore down. I couldn't really wait for them, so I got out of the wagon, and decided I needed to push myself. Who would have thought that the wagon was so hard to push ... I needed to appeal for Daddy!

Once we got to the beach, it was pure joy!

Unfortunately, my friend Hannah was just too worn out. She ended up taking a snooze on her Uncle Barry.

Are you ready for some football!

It's Sunday ... it's 11 AM ... but more importantly, it's week 1 of NFL ... I'm so excited I couldn't even take my morning nap. Ok, running through the checklist....

Tony Romo jersey on - Check
Full glass of milk poured - Check
Cowboys on Comcast - - Doh!

Sometimes I wish Daddy would just pony up for NFL Ticket!

(Sigh)

Trip to Los Angeles

Back in August, we went to visit my mom's godmother Barbara who lives in Santa Monica, California. She has a backyard with orange and grapefruit trees. We had a blast picking fresh fruit off the trees. Here's the stash I got below (Barbara - left, me - middle, Grandma - right):
Of course, there are two things you can't miss while in LA ... the first is the beach! I also found a new toy 'natural' ... seaweed. Man, that stuff is fun!
The second thing you can't miss is Mexican food. To assauge my hunger, we went to Santa Monica Pier and the mexican restaurant Mariasol. I was a 'happy camper' ... I couldn't figure out exactly what I wanted from the menu...

So I finally settled on ... well everything from Daddy's plate and Mommy's plate!

It was fantastic. We spent the rest of the evening walking along the pier where Barbara got this great shot of the family!

Also while in LA, I got to experience a little swimming pool action. Here's my first time in a swimming pool. Let's just say ... I loved it.

How to clean your plate properly

See, the thing is, Daddy and I have very different views on how to clean your dinner plate.
When it comes to lima beans and pasta, I prefer my way of cleaning the plate!

Hide & Seek!

I was playing hide and seek with Mommy the other day. It was my turn to hide, and I think I chose the one place Mommy couldn't find me...

Sour!

Oh - My - Lord ... one sip of Grandma's Lemonade and my jaw had sour shooting bolts of flavor. Immediately, it triggered what I believe to be an allergic reaction in my eyes because they started producing tears. (Of course, I would never cry in public) In addition, a tingling sensation in my throat became so severe that the only way to relieve the tickle was to give out a scream at the top of my lungs...
Now ... after looking at this picture, I don't know what is more disturbing: my body's chemical reaction to lemonade or my Grandma's reaction to my reaction.
