It’s still very cold outside, so we’ve been playing indoors recently instead of going for a walk. That’s okay. We can’t play with a bunch of balloons outside so this works out.

I still like my morning kids’ shows. What’s not to like? They have catchy songs with fun images!

I was playing with Daddy and started giving him a lot of hugs! He was very happy! Then I remembered how we played with cushions the other day and added them to the mix too! So much fun!

It was pretty cold today so instead of going for a walk we all stayed in school and played. Our teachers took out the big blue mats and we had fun climbing all over them.

I’m very independent at breakfast these days. Mommy and Daddy just put me in my chair with my banana and yogurt and bread in front of me and I just feed myself. I don’t really need much help. Although I do ask that they wipe my hands for me after I eat my yogurt because

Mommy often takes pictures and videos of me while I’m eating. I don’t always like that. Sometimes I just want some privacy and I have to tell her so. I forgave her for video taping me when we heard Daddy come home. I think she wanted to show Daddy how I can’t wait for Daddy

Before heading out to school I wanted to read a few books. One of the things I like about being at home is all the books we have. Today at school I was playing cars with Lego-like blocks. I made a cool little car out of these interlocking blocks and made them go down the

Good morning firetruck! Some mornings you just have to say good morning to your firetruck before you do anything else. You know the feeling, right? It’s priorities. It’s like eating all the raisins in your raisin bread before eating the bread.

Daddy was being silly and was hiding from me by putting a cushion on his face. So I decided to be silly like him and do the exact same thing.

These days I’m very affectionate and very huggy toward Mommy. I often clamber up on her and give her big Mason hugs! I give good hugs. Not only do I wrap my arms and legs around the recipient, but I put my head in the perfect spot between their neck and shoulder for the perfect

Sometimes I feel like I’m eating just for the principle of eating a lot, not necessarily because I need the sustenance. I think I’m full, but I just keep eating because I enjoy eating.

I’m getting the idea of shopping now. You go to a store and grab the thing you want, right? Okay. I want this! What’s that? It’s not usually about what you want but what you need, like food items? Gotcha. Okay, so I need eight packages of Anpanman furikake for my rice.

Recently I don’t like sitting still in the shopping cart and I’m getting too big and heavy for the baby carrier, so when we go grocery shopping, I’m walking around on my own. Daddy puts me to work and has me help with the shopping. He gives me things that we need and sends me

I’m seated facing forward now. It was getting pretty cramped when I was facing backwards. There was nowhere for my feet to go. This is so much nicer with a lot more leg room. Also I can spot busses and cool cars coming toward us a lot faster. I get so excited and kick the

Recently I have been very interested in Mommy and Daddy’s wedding picture and their picture with relatives on their mini honeymoon. I recognize Grandma and Grandpa in the picture and point at it and call out “Nana” and “Papa”. I often make Mommy and Daddy take the picture off the shelf to show me. Then

Daddy tried to rock me to sleep for my nap today, but I was not having it. I wasn’t fussing or crying or anything. I just wasn’t falling asleep. I was squirming and trying to get out of his grip. After quite some time he got tired and I needed a diaper change. After that
