When Mommy is working in the kitchen, I like to help.   I usually get to scoop flour between the mixing bowl and measuring cup, but today Daddy gave me a special task: lentils!  These little black beans are very tricky to keep track of, and they go everywhere if you spill them.  I’m getting pretty good at not spilling them now, but it took some practice.

One of my new favorite things to do is play with the shiny knobs on the door.  Now that I know how to move the stool around, it’s no problem reaching them.  Now if I could just figure out why M&D get that worried look on their faces when I’m having so much fun.  Really Mom.  Dad?  What is it?

Lately I’ve been using my Crayolas to express my two dimensional, colorful self.

If I’m really lucky, I get to sit up high a the bar while I color.

Lately I have been enjoying putting my Duplo train cars together, and then stacking on top of them.

I did this one all by myself.  OK, maybe Daddy helped me just a little with putting my fireman driver on the tall stack.

And Froggy and Doggy are always there to lend moral support!

Ma and Pa got me this super rocking horse for Christmas.

It didn’t take me long to figure out to make this pony strut his stuff!  Giddyap!

The other day, Mommy and me made some orange juice.  Turns out that orange juice comes from oranges!  Who’d have thought?

At first, I had to concentrate (ha ha) very hard to get the juice out.

But after a little practice, I was doing just fine with my eyes closed!  No problem!

Now if Daddy will just show me how to work the waffle iron, I’ll be all set!

Recently, Mommy & I got to spend some quality time together.  I got to learn about catalogs and shopping.

All I need to do now is a find out what a “credit card number” is, and then I can pick up the phone and order some of these toys!

As previously mentioned, I get to help around the house by helping with the laundry.  Well, now you can see just how helpful I am!

Now that I have a bunch of teeth, M&D say I have to learn to take care of them.  Apparently, part of the routine is munching on a piece of flavored string before bed.

Count me in!

(Ed. Note: And just in time for Halloween, too!)

M&D have been teaching me to talk with my hands.  Rarely do they catch me talking on still media, but here they caught me saying ‘book’.

The part you can’t see is them getting all excited.  What?  It’s just a book!
