FIRE TRUCK! I LIKE FIRE TRUCKS!

My Great Uncle Douglas is the head firefighter at the station that serves our area. He has been promising to bring the fire truck by my house and let me sit in it. So tonight he came by after a training session. I wasn't very sure about it (fire trucks are VERY big). But Uncle Douglas gave me a fire badge and daddy picked me up and took me out to the truck.

Fire trucks are SO COOL! I was really excited to get into the front and sit in the big fireman's seat. Daddy got to sit in the seat too. Mommy took some pictures so you could all see what a good firefighter I'll make some day. Daddy asked me if I was a firefighter and I said "YES!"

Abby even got to get in the truck (that is Uncle Douglas holding Abby - he is a very good firefighter). It was time for the firefighters to go back to the station so Daddy told me it was time to get out. But I didn't want to! As Daddy reached in to get me I scooted further and further away. But Daddy has very long arms and got me anyways...so I started to cry. I didn't want to get down - I wanted to stay in the fire truck. The firemen thought this was very funny...they said I could come down to the station on Thursday and sit in the truck again. I hope we do!!

The Loud Mouth Drama Queen!

Mommy says if you want a really good idea of my personality here it is. This picture just sums me up. I believe why say anything if you can't say it as loud as possible! hee hee! '

I have discovered that standing up is really COOL! So I'm practicing a lot and I'm practicing standing up and then letting go. I usually fall down but hey I'm trying!

My Dzia Dzia and Nana are here and they are going to take me and Michael swimming this afternoon - stay tuned - hopefully Mommy will have pictures! (none of her in a swimsuit - she'll spare you all that!).

Michael is FAWNNY!

Mommy was doing her chores and I was watching a video. She came out to the living room and found me like this...


This is my Lincoln Log box and it is very comfy. I told her "Michael Fawnny!"

Abby here...[no picture sorry!]

Mommy's best friend Jenney came over today. I was playing while they talked in the living room. In our living room we have a big bookshelf. The bottom shelf has all of Michael and I's cars and the second to the bottom shelf has all our puzzles. Mommy was actually talking to Nana (they are coming to visit in a couple of weeks) and looked over at me and I WAS STANDING!!!! All by myself I had pulled myself up to the puzzle shelf so I could get a puzzle to play with. Mommy went and got her camera but I had already sat down when she got back. [that's why there is no picture]. That was the very very very first time I have pulled myself up to stand. Mommy says the real fun starts now!

GO IRISH!!!! BEAT BUCKEYES!!!!
