Playing At Rowan's House

We went to Rowan's house to play.  We played and Papi fell asleep on the couch.  Look at me!  I'm sticking my tongue out!

Presents! Presents!

The Santa guy came to my house!  I got to open so many presents.  My presents had Jake paper.  I ripped them open!  And I got a bunch of new stuff.  

I got my own Kindle.  I don't have to share with Riley or Luci.  They have their Kindles and I have Julian's Kindle.  Mine is blue and mine has blue headphones.  I love play on Kindles.  Mommy has a Kindle that I play on. She got mad because I bought 3 books for her.  

I got some new shoes that Daddy was excited about.  But he won't let me wear them outside to play. 

I got a bunch of presents at Gram's house.  Like a basketball hoop and a lot of Paw Patrol toys.  I love Paw Patrol.  That is my favorite show.  And I got a dinosaur and some cars.

We played with all of the new toys and made a big mess.  I didn't help clean it up because that is what Mommy is for.  Oh yeah, can you see my new tool belt?  I like to take my shirt off and put the belt on to fix stuff.  I help my Daddy fix stuff.  Merry Christmas was a good day and I then I fell asleep.

Santa Be So Cool

I'm pumped for Christmas.  I hear this Santa guy brings presents if you are good.  I'm always good.  No tantrums or fighting this year.  I have been nice to my sisters too.  And I always listen to Mommy and Daddy. 

I was nervous to talk to Santa or sit on his lap.  Mommy had to hold me.  But I saw Santa on TV and learned about his reindeer.  Riley told me that when he flies in front of the moon you can see him and the reindeer.  I said "Santa be so cool".

Naughty For Pictures

I was supposed to take Christmas pictures with my cousins.  But I didn't want to cop-erate for pictures.  If I don't want to do something then I don't want people telling me what to do.

 

I wouldn't turn around for a picture.  So now Gram's has a picture of my back.  (A stubborn 2 year old captured for eternity)

 

Look it's a bird! It's a plane! It's a donut!

We went to a store and Mommy asked me if I wanted chocolate or airplane.  I said airplane.  The next morning I said "Mommy I want my airplane!" I thought I was getting an airplane with wings but it was really airplane donut.  I like airplane donuts too. 

Look At Me Guys

Julian is quite the character these days.  He likes to be silly and tries to be jokester.  "Look at me, Mommy!"  Wearing shirts, pajamas and jackets on his head is one of his favorite moves.

Julian calls any kind of belt, a seatbelt.  He puts on Daddy's belts and Mommy's belts.  He uses the girls necklaces or anything he can find around the house to be a "seatbelt".

He has not spent an entire night in his bed in months.  Mostly he tries to get in bed with Mommy.  But he also likes to just hang out too.  Once we found him in the living playing with a halloween pumpkin decoration after he got his own cup of water about 4am.  

Speaking of water, he likes to wash the dishes or play with water.  If left to his own devices for long, the bathroom sink and floor will have puddles.

His shirts and clothes don't stay on all of the time.  He likes show off his muscles.  And sometimes the diapers come off too - watch out!

Julian is quite the back seat driver too.  He likes to tell us when to go or stop at lights.  He knows what green and red lights mean but he hasn't figured out that you can't just run into cars in front of you.  "Go daddy!  Gooooo!!!"  Be careful not to drive by McDonald's because you will be pestered to stop because it is "yummy".  Also, "yummy" is his favorite flavor of muffins.

And still no one can make a mess in a matter of seconds or minutes quite like him.  

Julian is handful but there is never a dull moment - and we love every minute of it.

Watching Baseball

 

I have been watching the Cubs baseball games with Daddy.  I like watching baseball.  They hit the ball and throw the ball.  And sometimes we eat popcorn. I have a baseball bat that I try to play with in the house.

We went to a baseball and watched Kris Bryant.  He is my favorite player.  When Daddy is watching a game I say "I wanna see Kris."

(PS - I don't know why I am wearing Hawaiian shorts.  It must have been laundry day.)

I'm 2 and I'm into everything!

I am a crazy 2 year old boy.  I like to jump on the beds and couches.  But I get in trouble if Mommy or Daddy see me.  I like to take my shirt off and run around in my diaper.  And sometimes I take off my diaper but I get in trouble for that too.

I love climbing on stuff.  I climb on tables and shelves in the house and guess what?  I get in trouble for that too.  I can climb on my playground outside and I don't get in trouble.  But I need help on the monkey bars.

I love to get phones and iPods and Kindles.  Selfie!  I love to pull out all of my toys and make messes.  And I have lots of toys to make messes.  You want to know the best part?  Mommy and Daddy clean it up for me!

And I like cool boy stuff like swords and bats and whatever this thing was on vacation.  I am one messy boy.  Lots of dirty clothes.

But I am so cute that I get away with it.

 

Big Boy Update

Mommy and Daddy ask me if I am a big boy.  I usually say "no, baby" because they want me to do big boy stuff like go pee in the potty and take away my pappies. Well I did start going to bed in my big boy bed with no pappy but I am not about to start going pee on the toilet.

I am doing some other big boy stuff.  I go swimming by myself.  I climb in the kitchen to get marshmallows all by myself.  I put my crocs on by myself.  I like to do everything by myself.  Does that make me a big boy?

Buddy Bat

I went to a baseball game.  I like throwing baseballs and talking about baseball and watching baseball bideos on Daddy's computer.  But my favorite thing about the baseball game was Buddy Bat.  He is big and purple.  He does funny stuff too.  I liked watching him - but not too close.  I didn't want to go by him.  I followed where he was all over the baseball place.  One time I couldn't find Buddy and Daddy told me he must have went to the bathroom.  Buddy had to pee.  But he came back.

Now when Daddy asks "Are you my buddy?"  I say "No.  Buddy Bat."

Firekirks on 4th of July

I got to play with firekirks (how I say fireworks).  I was scared but Mommy let me hold the firekirk. It was going cccrrrrr and it poked me too!  I like watching the big firekirks in the sky.  They go boom and pow!  We had a party at Aunt Diane's house.  I played with another boy's (Holland) baseball bat and ate some hot dogs too.  And I had some light up necklaces.  You could see me in the dark.  Yeah...

Summer Haircut

Before

After

Now I am ready for summer and Mommy says that I look like a big boy.

But I'm A Boy

When you have sisters you have a lot of pink stuff.  Pink bikes are better than no bikes.  I can't ride as fast as LuLu and Riley yet.  And I like to wear a helmet even if it is a Minnie Mouse helmet.  Minnie is friends with Mickey and Donald and I like them.  Especially Donald.  He is funny. 

And sometimes you want to wear shades but you only have pink ones.  But I'm still a boy. I'm just cool with pink too.

All Wet

Me and Daddy went for a walk and we got rained on.  It rained and rained on us.  Bummer.

1st Trip To Bellaboos

When we visited Grandma and Grandpa we went to a really fun house called Bellaboos. They have all kinds of toys.  I loved the trains and the big train on the wall. There was a big big table with train tracks.  We got to play in the pizza kitchen and with the construction. We built a stage for Riley to sing.

And you get to make a real pizza.  Grandma had to help me but I ate it all by myself.  I got pizza sauce on my face and Riley painted my face too so I was messy.

 

 

Then we played in the balls and slides.  I went down the big fast slide and I liked falling into the balls.  It was a lots of fun day.

 





My Fave Book

 

This is my favorite book right now.  I like finding all of the things in the pictures.  The cars are in the book.  And Woody and Buzz are in the book pages. There are no words so I don't need anybody to read it to me.  You just find the pictures.

Rainy Day

 

Can't go outside... bummer.

First Thunder Party

I had a lot of fun at my first Thunder.  I played all day and watched the "airplane in the kye!"  It was so much fun to watch the airplanes and the fireworks.  But I just couldn't stay awake any longer....zzzzz (on the Thompson's front yard with "bootball" in hand :-) )

Bunny Leaves A Mess

The Easter Bunny came to my house and put eggs all over the place.  We had to find the eggs and clean up his mess he made. And he left baskets of candy on the floor too!  It was way better than cleaning up toys.

I found eggs on the couch and in the plants and in my race car tracks. That bunny left them everywhere.

We went to Gram and Papi's house and found more eggs and candy too.  I guess a bunny got in their house too.  There were eggs all over their backyard. Crazy bunnies.

Still Got Birthday Balloons

My flying balloons are still here!  One of them is stuck on the roof in the big couch room because I ripped the string off.  But I'm still playing with my other balloons.  Maybe they will last until I'm 3?
