my robe

mommy came back from tennessee this week and brought me a gift from lula...a robe. thanks lula. i can't believe it has taken mommy and daddy this long to get me a robe. by the way, i am not texting, i just like to play with daddy's old phone. it would be nice if it was at least charged.

my weekend with daddy

while mommy was in tennessee visiting lula and my cousins, daddy and i got to spend five days together. daddy tried to make sure we did something outside of the house each day. on our last full day together before mommy came home, we went to the denver zoo. daddy thought it was hilarious that so many mommy's with strollers were there. daddy's with strollers were definitely not in abundance on our trip to the zoo. thanks for taking such good care of me daddy and for making it so fun. here are a few pics from my adventurous day at the zoo.

the bears were huge!

i was so interested in the gorilla next to the window

i seemed to be pointing at everything

this thing was monkeying around. so funny!

hmm, reminds me of mommy's favorite snack...cheetos!

i did get to spend some time at a play area

playing ball with daddy

after daddy got off work today, we went outside to throw the ball around. i had a lot of fun kicking, throwing and chasing the ball around the yard.

observe my nice throwing motion

daddy, this would be easier if you actually throw it to me

a quick break to tell daddy there was a plane flying above

what a fun day in the yard

finishing off with some water fun

some backyard pool fun

it was so warm over the weekend that mommy and daddy decided to pull out the pool. it should keep me busy until the neighborhood pool opens on memorial day.

baby giggles

i love laughing whenever mommy puts daddy's denver broncos hat on simon.

the fast and the furious

i've really started to get into hot wheels so daddy built me a ramp from some left over wood to slide the cars on.

quack, quack!

i got my new shoes recently. daddy wasn't a big fan of them since he says they look like ducks. he calls them my "duck" shoes. mommy says they are cute and more importantly, easy to put on.

the great cloth diaper change...again

mommy, daddy and i went to the great cloth diaper change with my buddy ryker and his parents, ryan and jess. we all went to the event last year, but this year there were more free gifts. mommy and daddy only took video, but we were able to get a free picture with a traveling photo booth. afterwards we all went to lunch and had fun hanging out.

double trouble

mommy, daddy and i all got to go to mommy's ultrasound last week. while I stayed busy eating various snacks, playing with mommy's phone, and shaking the keys, mommy and daddy "saw" the big news! yep, that's right, i'm gonna be a BIG BRO...cause i'm gettin' a "lil bro". i can't wait to share all i've learned with my lil bro.

my first words of wisdom: big bro is in charge.

a big thanks to mrs. bethany of patches and puppies (she's on etsy!) for all her hard (& quick!) work on our great shirts! she helped mommy and daddy have lots of fun telling the big news to all our family this past weekend.

now it's on to finding some bunk beds!

easter!

mommy, daddy and i went to albuquerque to celebrate easter with grammie, gampa, and both of my greats. i got an easter basket full of fun stuff including my newest obsession...elmo. we all then went to church, ate yummy food and spent the rest of the day with family.

my easter basket!

wow! i got my very own elmo

i'll let gampa pick this up

an elmo dvd to watch...

...and an elmo book to read

i'm becoming a book worm

i even got to enjoy a few pieces of chocolate

after enjoying my easter basket, i got to hunt for easter eggs in gampa and grammie's backyard.

i found them all, but want to do it again. what's a boy to do?

oops! dropped that one

hmm, maybe i can just take them out and find them again.

it's taking too long to take them out. let's just dump the basket.

it's like the never-ending easter egg hunt. how fun!
