last night i ate over 9 oz of food for supper! i had some spinach and potatoes, and then some spinach-apple-rutabaga (or swedes, as the company's native land calls them), and finally, some banana rice with quinoa. daddy said he was a little worried what my next diaper was going to be like :)

then at swim class, i gave daddy a hard time. he went in the water with me and i didn't want to do the floating barbells or the noodle, or swim underwater. i didn't eat much when i got home. mommy gave me a bath and gave me some milk and i slept from about 8:30 until 3:30! hopefully this new schedule will stick. mommy needs her sleep!

tonight i was really tired, so i got a bath at 6:00, and was in bed by 7:30.

i've been a ham lately, so here are a few fun pictures. in the 2nd one, i'm practicing blowing kisses - we sent a video to my grandmas for their birthdays. the 3rd one i am about to give wrigley a "hug." she likes to look out the window with me.

a good swim class

tonight at swim class i was very good. mommy was happy i made it a little easier for her, because daddy wasn't there. tonight when mommy passed me to the teacher i almost cried. but mommy was SO happy for me, that i held it in. i just stuck out my lip. then the teacher passed me back to mommy, and i didn't cry that time either. i also let mommy pour some "rain." but mommy was nice and didn't pour it on me - just near me, and she helped me put my hand into the sprinkles. my favorite part, as usual, was the jumping. i am almost to the point where i will jump to mommy. she still has to lift me off, i am not quite comfortable jumping on my own. but i do like to squat and have mommy fly me in the air and into the water. :)

i like to mow

this weekend i got to see grandma - she came to help mommy shop at the mothers of multiples sale. they found me lots of "new" clothes. i even got some sandals, a raincoat and some hoodies. i also showed grandma how well i can mow the lawn driveway.

friday night i was nice to mommy and let her have seven straight hours of sleep - 11-6. i didn't want her to get too used to it, though, so i was back to my regular schedule of waking up twice during the night on saturday night. then i took a 2-hour nap this morning. both mommy and daddy are hoping i sleep more tonight.

i'm also working on drinking more cow's milk. mommy said she doesn't have much left in the freezer for me, and i'm getting to eat lots more big-boy food, so we are almost there! it's a big transition, though, because mommy's milk is usually nice and warm, and the cow's milk is so cold - brrrr. i will eat almost anything else you put in front of me.

this weekend i had to go to the post office to apply for my passport so i can go to europe this fall. they made me bring mommy and daddy with since i'm a "minor."

successful signing

tonight i was having some yummy banana mango yogurt melts, and was practicing my signs. i grabbed for some, and mommy asked if i wanted "more." i showed her the sign for "more." then i wanted even more, and next time i showed her "more" and "please" all in a row! she was so happy, and i love being able to tell her what i want :) these are also the only food i will fight wrigley for - anything else i'll hand to her and giggle when she snarfs it down.

last week at swim class mommy tried to get me to float in the noodle. i was NOT a fan.

nor was I a fan of being passed underwater to my teacher. i hope i didn't make her feel bad. maybe next time. 

This weekend i kept an eye on daddy while he worked outside. i like to sit in the sun and bang on the window and tell him what to do :)

This week we have fun themes at daycare for the "week of the young child." monday was pajama day and yesterday was rainbow day.

Today is hat day, tomorrow is sports day, and friday is dress-like-your-favorite-cartoon-character day (i plan to wear my superman shirt).

mommy's birthday and some signs

yesterday was mommy's birthday - i played a song for her and then let her give me lots o' love.

 

i am learning lots of signs and gestures lately. I know...
* milk (when mommy and daddy sign)
* more - i can sign and understand it
* please - i can sign it
* bath - i understand it and run to the stairs

busy weekend

let's start on thursday - i had my 2nd swim class. daddy went in the water with me this time and mommy took lots of photos. i had lots of fun, just like the first time. We played with rings, chased duckies, waved at mommy, and did some jumping and back floats.

saturday we dropped wrigley off at Ruffin' it resort, and then tried to go apply for my passport, but when we got to the post office, found out you have to make an appointment. they didn't have any openings until April 16th, but the lady said we should be fine for our trip in September. 

After that, we got everything packed up, and headed to IL for a wedding. here are daddy and me all spiffed up.

i had lots of fun - got to see Grandma and Grandpa Saillard, aunt Tracy and uncle Dave, and meet my cousin Nathan. we ate, mommy and daddy got a dance in, and we headed home. i took 3 long naps in the car all day, when mommy and daddy thought i would only get 1 or 2. i was a very good boy all day.
