A Few Favorite Faces

These are the faces that Mom loves!Am I ready for the swimsuit edition?
No, my head is not inside this bubble!
Yes, I love to husk corn, and I can never wait to eat it!
We have had a lot of excitement this month and there is only more to come. We've had a visit to Walloon Lake to see Chris and Natalie. Grampa took me on some fun boat rides. Oh, how I love the wind in my face when we go fast! We visited Uncle Brad at the Midland County Fair. (No, he wasn't on display with the other 4H animals; he had a booth for work.) There were lots of animals I got to see up close. I really like feeding the sheep. And last week, the neighbors had some trucks working in the backyard. I had some friends over to watch the trucks with me. They had to go home before all the additional excitement of the fire trucks and bucket trucks that had to make a last minute showing. Of course, with all this excitement, there is only more to come. I get to meet my little brother soon, counting down the days!

Buddies...

A boy and his dog...Lucy has become one of my best buddies. We like to play catch together, and I love to climb on her. Sometimes though I have to chase her around the house because she runs away from me! She sure can make me laugh.
Ask me where my baby brother is...This time I have it right. I give him hugs and kisses whenever I can. Sometimes when you ask me where he is though, I lift my own shirt and stick my finger in my belly button. I have been reading books about bringing home a baby and being a big brother. My favorite is to wave to the baby and say hi as well as slobber on the pages, giving out kisses.
My new bike from daddy's friend...I love my new bike even though I can't quite reach the pedals on it yet. It has such a fun bell that I can make go. Daddy's friend, Bill, has twin boys who were too big for their bikes, so I got one for my brother too. Thanks, Mr. Bill!
Another of my best buddies...I love going places and visiting with my friend Alyssa. We went to the museum together and had a blast. Niether of us wanted to wear the smocks to keep us dry, so we got pretty wet. It's a good thing our mommies decided to save the water play until the end. We will have to go back sometime.
More water fun...For some reason I think I would like to jump right in here and play inside the water parts. Water play is one of my favorite things to explore, but don't be shocked when you can't get me to sit down in the bathtub. No matter how hard you try, you won't get me to give in. You'll have to use the cup and pour the water over me. Mom and Dad wonder what the difference is in the bath water, but I haven't told them yet. It's too good to keep them guessing!
