Did you miss me?Mama got me some new panties to try to inspire me (Yo Gabba Gabba!). They inspired me to cry after a while so we're on a potty learning hiatus.Charlotte has been attacking me lately and pulling my hair. Mama is no help at all and gets giggling when it happens.At least I know how to take care of myself when I'm sick or hurt.You can run, but you can't hide!!!We went to Community Orchard with Daddy last week. Here's the yearly picture for you.Look at all of my hair!Silly Daddy.Silly Mama.I love to play in the sand there. This is my favorite shovel. We went back yesterday and it was broken. Sad.All aboard!Daddy held me up to look down at the pumpkin patch.This slide is really fast and fun.The goats were hungry, as usual.I refused to cooperate with Mama for silly camera pictures.This is Roger. Can you see his eyes? He's a very nice monster that I give kisses to almost every day.Multi-tasking.

Daddy and I have really been enjoying the new camera. It has a view finder so we can look at ourselves while we take pictures. It makes it easier to pose!Snuggly facesDon't you want to hold me?You may have read about the family bath night in Charlotte's blog, but here's another picture from that fun night.I was full of kisses and wet hugs.I enjoy riding on the back of the trike with Mama. She's fun.Daddy wanted to show me off in my party dress.So big! That's my impression of Charlotte. She just learned that one recently (no pics of it yet).I love my little sister.Grandpa and Grandma have been married for forty years so we all celebrated on Sunday. Look at Uncle Matt!You'd think none of these people knew a camera was pointed at them. LOL!The big kids had a good time sitting outside.Grandpa and Grandma are still in love after all these years.We played outside after supper. Milo is strong!We took turns on the slide.Wee!Wee!I fed Daddy some food after the party. He likes being catered to.He also likes kisses.Charlotte tried really hard to join in (and steal our food).Mama had to scoop me up to steal some loving too.I've made some progress with learning to use the potty. I go diaperless at home except for during naps and at bed time. You'd think that would mean lots of stickers on my potty chart, wouldn't you? Nope. I haven't had any accidents, but I don't go pee in the potty either. I hold it for five hours if that's what it takes to keep the floor clean and the potty vacant. At least I have good control!? I used the potty one time all weekend. I think my parents are getting frustrated.

The Entertainer

We didn't disappear, but our camera did. It caused Mama some grief. Daddy made Mama stop searching and they got a new one so the blog can go on. I've been really fun. I love to read books to my parents. Pinkalicious is my favorite one. I have to sleep with it. Anyway, here I am ready to read Winnie the Pooh to Daddy.We went to a family party at Grandpa and Grandma's house last week. There are a lot of August birthdays that needed to be celebrated.Macy takes good care of me.Leif and I both got soap in our eyes so then Grandma and Emmy gave us chocolate brownies as medicine. I'll have to remember that trick.The big kids played bingo and won prizes for the little kids.Silly Milo!Cutie Leif! We both love nesting dolls.Nana and Papa came over for dinner this past week so I hung out with them in the gazebo. It was humid. Can you tell?I'm not as sweet as I look.Daddy and Mama went to a Cyclones game and left us kids at home. Here's Gavin asking for me (or we can pretend that at least). I think I have them talked into taking us to the UNI game.Daddy and I played with the new camera. Here we look like regular (albeit, extraordinarily good looking) people.Sad, sad people.HAPPY!And one for the rogue gallery...
In other news, notice that Mama has a wedding ring on in the last picture. She grew out of her ring about three years ago and it finally fits again. Yay for Mama!

We went to the mommy and kids club this morning and I had a great time. I stayed in a room and played with big kids. They even had a potty break (not that I participated). Charlotte hung out with Grandma and the babies. Mama talked and hung out with other mommies. Pretty cool! She was so proud of me when she came and picked me up at the end of the meeting. I did what my teacher said to do and I made a pretty picture for Daddy with PINK MARKER!!!
