Blast Off!

I had an absolute blast this morning as my dad blasted me off into what felt like outer space!



I am so happy that Mommy & Daddy are home with me today after they decided to take the day after Super Bowl Sunday off.



We've played & hung out but a lot of the afternoon has involved Daddy trying his pants off to get me to take a nap. I'm positively stubborn & my dad is positively persistent so he's still trying after an hour or so. I can tell you that my mom would have given up after about fifteen minutes since she doesn't have patience like Daddy.



My parents are sure that I'm not ready for a toddler bed though so it's likely that they're going to invest in one of those crib tents to prevent me from climbing out.



Daddy's reading Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Marc Weissbluth to get some pointers since I'm too young to be giving up my naps. I take naps every day at daycare on my mat, but my teacher has to sit next to me & pat my back for about fifteen minutes until I fall asleep. My parents are armed & ready so it's go-time. We'll see how things pan out!

UPDATE: Rats! I lost & Daddy won since I FINALLY ended up taking a 2 hour nap!

Silly Goose!

Chicago Time

I was able to enjoy some snow time as we were staying at Grammy & Papa's house in Illinois last week. This was my second time in the snow since we were able to visit Illinois Christmas of 2009. Click here & here to check out my first time in the snow. I was only 15 months old then so now that I'm 28 months old, I'm a new man with many new capabilities & tricks!







My favorite part was probably throwing snow at Mommy & Daddy. Mommy was very happy with this as she was able to get lots of smiling pictures of me!







And I took some time to work on my slap shot! Maybe I'll play for the Chicago Blackhawks one day & I'll make so much money that I'll buy a house in Chicago so my mom & dad can be snow birds!





I was able to sit on the neighbor's swing again! If you clicked on the links to my first time in the snow, you'll see some majorly cute pictures of me on this swing.



I even helped shovel the ice so the neighborhood kids could skate. It was so cool that the pond was frozen solid this year.



It was so great to catch up with Aunt Elaine & Uncle Chuck!





And share some snacks with Grammy!







I was so happy to visit with my Great Grandma Mociute (that's Grandma in Lithuanian).



My parents were so thrilled that I was on my best behavior on the plane both ways. As we left Chicago for Florida, I was so excited to spot the Disney plane!! As you can see, Buzz & Woody enjoyed the view with me!



I had such a great time catching up with family & friends & enjoying the snow! We're planning on heading back up for Christmas this year, so I'll experience snow twice in one year!

Play Time with Grammy

A couple of weeks ago after picking Grammy up from the airport, we hit the mall so I was able to play in the kid's area & then we enjoyed pizza at CPK. YUM!



I'm the goofiest Rays player there ever was & ever will be! And the cutest to boot!





Spending three weeks with my Grammy & away from daycare has been wonderful!



Am I a lucky guy or what?!

I'll Follow The Sun - The Beatles

This is the newest song added to the collection of songs my mom sings to me each night. I adore this song & since I have a really good memory & learn lyrics really quickly, I'm able to kind of sort of sing along with my mom. We sing together every single night & it's our favorite time of each day.

Goofball!

Most nights, shortly before bed, I get a burst of energy & run around like a little nut!



Tonight I was extra goofy... perhaps from the all the sugar Grammy slips me! ;o)



But either way, the living room may as well have been a stage since I was the center of attention & Grammy, Mommy & Daddy were my audience.



I'm also a sock thief! But fair is fair since I constantly take my own socks off too!



Anyway, I'm saying lots these days! I basically talk constantly & repeat everything that anyone says. My newest sayings are, "What are you doing, Mommy?" (or whoever I'm addressing), or if someone asks me where something is, I say, "I don't know?!" in the most adorable voice!



I'm also a bit of a bully. As you can see in this picture, I'm shoving my innocent cat off this ottoman & saying, "Get down!" I'm a little big for my britches!



I can be difficult to take pictures of since I always want to see the picture immediately!



And I'm an absolute beverage thief! Hope you like your drinks with a whole lotta backwash because that's what you'll get after I've had my sticky fingers on your drink!

It's Time To Wake Up!

My new thing is to say, "It's time to wake up!" anytime the idea of sleep is mentioned & it cracks my mommy & daddy up every single time. Boy am I cute!

A Bouncing Fool!

Christmas & Cousins

It's been a while since I've posted, so this will bring many pictures documenting the flurry of activity that was our Christmas!



I had such a blast with my cousins! Now that I'm getting older & can keep up with them, we have the best time together!















Mikayla sure knows how to strike a pose!







Although I have to say, when I was at my cousin's house on Christmas Day, they certainly did not appreciate me dumping the bins of their toys. My parents are working on getting me to stop doing the dump & run where I spill just to spill. Not nice, Cameron!







Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your families too!
