New Favorite Things

Pop gave me my own set of Lincoln Logs last Christmas, and although I've pulled them out once or twice since then, I've really started to enjoy them recently.

I'm particularly fond of the cantilever. I usually let Mama and Vati get started, and then I start cantilevering away until I come up with something I like. This is just a little something I worked on the other day.

Big Boy Bed!

We finally did it! We finally got rid of the crib, thanks to my friend Charlie who needed to get rid of his old bed to make room for a new one. Vati put it together for me and we kept it in my room for a few days before I officially started using it. Mama, who has definitely lost her bid for "Mother of the Year," decided that I didn't need bed rails because it was so big. Boy was she wrong, as she discovered in the middle of the night. I spent the rest of that night in the crib and we got some rails the next day. I even picked out my sheets and blankets all by myself. I'm still getting used to it, but I think I like it!

Just Hangin' Out

Mama and Vati finally broke down and bought us a pool the other day. We both like it, but I get a little more mileage out of it. After a few instances of ending face-first in the drink, Clare usually decides to call it a day.
Here she is hanging out with Vati after biting it a few times.
And I dragged myself away long enough to join them.

I'm Just In to All Kind of Stuff

Joshua doesn't know it, but when I wake up from my afternoon nap before he does, I get into all of his stuff!
The other day I crawled into his blocks wagon and slobbered all over his tape measure. I don't think he's onto me yet, so don't tell him, OK?

Can You Guess My New Favorite Fruit?

That's right! Blueberries!

Vati's Day

Sure, we're a little late, but we wanted to show you a little bit of our Father's Day.

First, Joshua helped Vati make his own Father's Day breakfast.
Later in the day, Vati spent a little time taking in the scenery with Clare.

In between, we went to Memphis for Korean food, Vati's only request for the day. It was really yummy and we think Vati had a good time, too.

Who's So Big?

Clare is!!!
