Everyone Loves a Parade!

And we're no different!

Grandpa led off the Memorial Day Parade in Bayville this year again and he was carrying the American Flag. I was busy at school this last week making American Flags and then there was Grandpa with a great big one!

I watched some of the parade from this cool perch on Dad's shoulders.

Mom held Parker and then Amber held Parker.

On Sunday we went to "adventureland." (Mom here: it wasn't really Adventureland. It was a fair in our neighborhood, but anything with rides is Adventureland, don't you know!)l

Oh! Auntie Dana!

Do you have to go back to California, Auntie Dana? I will miss you. Parker will miss you. See? He is reaching out to you!

We had fun with you this week, Auntie Dana, Even when I was misbehaving (which you have to admit I am good at these days) I was doing it to show off for you! I liked playing with you while Mommy and Daddy went to sell our old house.

I had fun playing with you at the park.

and making funny faces with you.

I love you Auntie Dana!

Happy Mother's Day!

Mom is really tired, so she said I have to keep this short. I'll help her put more pictures up tomorrow from her new fancy tiny camera! Even some videos!
Happy Mother's Day everyone.

Happy Hour

This is THE END

Not the end of the blog, sillies, although I know some of you thought that! It's the end of Long Island! Montauk. We went there a few weeks ago. It rained and rained and then it rained some more. But then it stopped long enough for us to go here.
Mom stopped at her old job, The East Hampton Independent and saw some of her old friends. I was sleeping and so was Parker, so we didn't get to see her old iMac that was still there from more that 15 years ago.

In the morning before these pictures, we flew a kite on the beach. I like to say, "it's a nice day to fly a kite!"

Nine month check-up

Hi everyone!

Mom took some pictures of me the other day, but she has to upload them onto the computer. Meanwhile, I went to the doctor yesterday for my nine month check up. Here's the stats:

Weight -- almost 21 pounds (50th percentile)
Length -- 29 inches (90th percentile)
Head -- 44 somethings (25th peanutheadile)

I didn't even cry when I got my Hepatitis shot and then didn't cry while the nurse squuezed blood out of my finger for like 20 minutes. Mom thinks I might have a banana allergy (big time bummer because I heard her first birthday banana cake rocks) so the doctor is going to do a RASP test and check me for banana allergy and other common childhood food allergies.

Pictures on the way. I know these word blogs are boring.

Oh hey, Mom is blogging for her students now too. check it out and become a follower so her kids at school think she's cool: The Shelf Life

I told you I like to eat

This is me smiling about spinach, peas, pears and apples that mom made for me. YUMMY!

I like to try to feed myself. Can you see my bottom two teeth in these two pictures? They came in about one day apart.

Delicious!
I learned from the best you know ...

Brunch for a BIG boy

Parker here. My BIG brother Page turned three a few weeks ago. He can do so much, but my favorite thing he does is make me laugh.

Mom and Dad hosted a brunch for Page's birthday. There was all kinds of yummy looking food like smoked salmon (one of Page's favorites), quiches, bagels and fruit. I didn't get to eat any of it, but when I am allowed to eat real food, watch out!
Granny, Papa, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Helen, Eric, Aunt Amber, Blake and Claudine came over to celebrate.

Page got some cool presents including some remote control construction vehicles and a ticket to go see the Yankees with Blake and Dad.

Aunt Helen posed with Parker. Hi Tanya! Do you believe how big I am????

Page told Mom he wanted a Huckle cake. Mom was freeking out about how to make those Richard Scarry characters, but then she remembered ... color printer and lamination machine!!!!!

Page loves singing Happy Birthday. He practices at school, along with the Pledge of Allegiance, which he is very good at saying. Mom is helping Page write thank you notes for all the nice things he got. In the mean time, I'll tell you all that Page really really likes all his new stuff. Thanks for celebrating with him!

Happy Easter

I must interrupt the uploading of a month's worth of photos to bring you this gem:

HAPPY EASTER!

Once upon a time ...

Page here. I like to tell stories. Here's one. Once upon a time my mommy and daddy took me and Parker on a trip to visit my cousins in Virginia. It was an extra special trip because Granny came too. Wea ll drove down and Mommy sat in between me and Parker in the car. 

We went on the trip because my little cousin Lucas was turning one. One year is a big important birthday so we had to go (and I think Mommy and Daddy just wanted to hang with Uncle David and Aunt Shannon). Aunt Dana and Jake flew all the way from California to celebrate too. 

We all went to Washington D.C. for a visit with some very important monuments. We saw FDR (this is Mom's favorite and since she uploads the photos for me, we had to put this one in).

We saw the Washington monument.

Parker didn't see much because he was sleeping in the fresh air in the awesome orange buggy, but he posed with the Washington Monument too.

Daddy climber a cherry blossom tree on the tidal basin.

Granny took me to see Abe. He's big. 

When we got back to the house, Jake took awesome pictures of Parker. He's a professional movie dude.

We like him alot, which is good, because Auntie Dana really really likes him!

It was Aunt Shannon's birthday too. Liam helped her open presents.

It was close to my birthday too. Aunt Dana got me a Sit n' Spin. I like spinning it, but not sitting on it and Parker likes sitting on it, but not spinning.

Aunt Shannon made a delicious cake for Lucas. It was banana. Luke liked it. I liked it too, but did a better job of eating it. Luke's way looks more fun, though.

Before I knew it, it was time to go. I really don't like that everyone lives so far away and we can't play every day. I was sad as you can see and even though Mom and Auntie Dana wanted me to smile, I could only think about how I didn't want to leave my awesome family. The end.

RIP little fishie

Hi. Mommy here. Page, Parker and I came home to a sad sight last night. Our little fishy (that never had a name) was "sleeping" at the bottom of his bowl. He had a nice life. Bye little fishie.
