Forks, cups, and car seats! Oh my!

I know I keep saying this, but now I really mean it...I am a BIG BOY! I have been working on using my fork and I like it! It's okay if mommy helps me put the food on the fork because that part is hard. However, please mommy, do not touch my cup!! I can do it all by myself and I don't need your help! If you help me, I will throw my cup on the floor and then cry about it! Don't even try to sneak that cup back up on my tray because you ruined my whole experience by helping me! :) I do best drinking juice out of a sippy cup, but I can also drink out of a big boy cup without a lid. I have to admit, I do spill a little....ok A LOT, but I am still good at it!



I knew something strange was going on when mommy kept taking me back and forth from Babies R Us to Target. She kept making me sit in these funny seats with seat belts in them. Then one day it happened....that seat showed up in my car!! Next thing ya know, I'm sitting in it, riding down the road with the A/C blowing in my face.....ahhhhh, this is the life! I can't believe I've been riding backwards all this time with the sun in my face and no A/C blowing on me!! I will never go back...although I do miss my bug friends that hung on my other car seat! But now there are much more things to look at and yesterday I got to see windshield wipers going back and forth for my first time!!! I'm still not 100% sure what to think of everything. For now, I just kick back and take it all in...quietly...I'm sure that won't last long. :)

Big Day Out in Atlanta!

Last Friday I had so much fun! Mommy took me to the Children's Museum in downtown Atlanta. We went with my friend Alison, her mommy Tiffany, and Tiffany's sister! We had soo much fun! There was a lot of "big" kids there, which made it hard for Ali and I to find a grocery cart to do our shopping in the store area! This one girl took one away from Ali, but don't worry, we got her back later! We played in the toddler area and had a lot of fun crawling through this tree trunk and there was this door that I got to open and close as many times as I wanted. I also rocked out on this piano and got to splash in some water. We played in some moonsand and also with legos...although the shelf was much more fun than the giant legos!

After the Children's Museum, we walked through Centennial Olympic Park and went to the CNN center to eat lunch. I was a BIG boy and sat in a big person chair next to mommy! I ate a hamburger patty and sat like a big boy! It was so hot and there were A LOT of kids in the Olympic fountain,, so mommy and Miss Tiffany said that we would save that for another day. Ali and I were so tired, I don't know how Ali stayed awake on the way home...I fell fast asleep!
