Penn State Rugby


Today we got to go see my Uncle Jake play in a big Rugby match for Penn State!
I didn’t really understand what was going on most the time.

Daddy tried to explain it to me, but I’m not sure he really understood it all either.
So I just cheered and had a good time!

Penn State beat Virginia Tech and got to move on to the next round!
Did anyone ever tell you that you look just like my Daddy!

Today I helped Uncle Trey blow out his birthday candles! He did most the work, but I really tried to help!


Then he let me have a little tiny taste of the whipped cream!!!


Why have I been eating all the green and orange stuff when there is food that tastes like that!!! I have to remember to ask for that for breakfast tomorrow!!


After cake, Uncle Trey and I had a slow dance together and then I had to go to bed. But I remembered to give him a big birthday kiss first!!!

Playing Outside

Today when me and Mommy got to Grammy and Poppa’s house Poppa was waiting outside for me! He and I played on the lawn for awhile and enjoyed the beautiful weather.

This was the first time I really got to play on grass, it felt a little strange and I of course tried to eat it!
I tried to share some with Poppa, but he didn’t want to eat any.
The sun made me sneeze (twice!)

And I even got to play with Grammy’s garden status.
I can’t wait till the weather stays warm enough to do this all the time!

More friends


Tonight Mommy had her friend Jeremy come over to Grammy’s house for dinner. Mommy told me all about how she and Jeremy ran in the Chicago Marathon together a few years ago, and what a smart engineer Jeremy is to work with. Daddy laughs and says I’m not old enough to hear stories about when Jeremy came over for our Forth of July party, but I don’t really understand what he means by that….

At first I was a little nervous around Jeremy, but I quickly realized that he is super fun like everyone else around here!

We jumped around and played lots of fun games together. I hope he comes over for dinner again real soon!

Stacking


Can you stack blocks up tall? Cause I can knock them down!

Talking

Please bear with Mommy with these videos. I have started saying a few words, but just to make her job a bit harder, I pretty much refuse to say them if she has the video camera in her hands. So these little snippets were the best she could do…..


If you listen close you can hear me say Hotttttt. This is probably my favorite word in the world. Poppa taught it to me when I was first learning to crawl. When I would approach the radiator he would say Hotttt and pull me away. The funny thing is I now say Hotttt for anything hot or cold. Or sometimes just because I like saying it.
I also say Dadda, which can be faintly heard here….

I have slipped out an occasional Momma, but it is by no means one of my regular words yet.
I also like saying cat, light, and something that sounds a lot like “what’s that?” Every time I say “what’s that?”, Mommy and Daddy explain what I am looking at. So I find this phrase very helpful!
There is also a LOT of “Margaret” talking. No one yet knows what I am trying to say, but that doesn’t stop me from saying it over and over again. Daddy says that he is pretty sure getting me to start talking is not going to be the hard part….

Hot Tub

Poppa gave me a very special surprise this week. He knows how much I LOVE bath time, and we all know how much he LOVES his hot tub. So he emptied out all the chlorine water and filled it with fresh clean water, and only set the thermostat to 99 degrees (the temp that the pediatrician said was okay for me) and then took me swimming!!!


I put on my pretty bathing suit, complete with robe (thank you Seamus!) and then we slowing tested the water together.



At first I wasn’t entirely sure about this, but I warmed up to it pretty quick!

I love splash splash splashing in Poppa’s hot tub!!!!!

Sometimes I forgot to close my mouth when I splashed....

And I even tried swimming from Mommy to Poppa!

Here is a video of me splashing away!!!

Cousin Matthew

When ever I come down to visit Grammy and Poppa other people are always stopping over to see us (well mostly to see me!) Today it was my little cousin Matthew and Aunt Joanne!!!!

Mommy has been telling me about Matthew for several months now, and she shows me pictures of him on the fridge, but I finally got to play with him!
At first I just wanted to play with his toys….

But then I realized that Grammy and Poppa were paying more attention to baby Matthew then to me?!?!

All of a sudden I became a lot more interested in this little guy….

I have to admit he is REALLY cute!!!!!

I know when we get a little bigger we are going to be great friends!!!
