The Animal Farm

The other day vovo and vovo took me to the animal farm. I saw goats, bison, a giraffe, sheep, horses, baby ducks, kangaroos, a mountain lion, monkeys and peacocks. My favorite were the goats - and you know I had to give them hugs. Remember last time?

Two Years Old

As most of you know, I am now two years old. I weigh 28 pounds and 10 ounces and am 34 1/2 inches tall. I am super chatty and can count to ten in English and Portuguese and I know all my letters (see previous post for evidence). I love cars and trucks, cooking, reading books, burrowing in giant boxes, eating, going to the playground and the pool, and riding in the bakfiets with Dad. I am obsessed with watching Curious George. I still sleep with my bulldog buddy Frank every day and night. I am excited to be a big brother soon. Being two is pretty great so far.

Swimming

Swim class is over for the summer - I'm going to miss it!

The Big 0-2

I'm two years old! Last weekend there was a birthday party in my honor, and I had a great time. I woke up to my own little kitchen where I make such delicacies as carrot and egg sandwiches and dinosaur soup (move over, Rocco Dispirito, there is a new chef in town!). Then in the afternoon lots of friends and family came to hang out and wish me a good birthday. There was a cake with Curious George on it, and everyone stood around it and sang me a song - I loved every second of it, and when it was over I said "again?". And then there were presents! Can I have another birthday soon, please?

Vacation

Mama and Dada and I went on vacation! We hit up the beach at Amelia Island, Florida. I had a blast swimming, jumping over waves with Dada, looking for sea shells, shark teeth and turtles and digging in the sand. I woke up every morning with the ocean and beach on my mind - Mama and Dada are very pleased that I'm already such a beach bum. And what is a vacation without lots of yummy food! I was also very good on the plane, thanks to my ipod that was loaded up with games and Sesame Street and Curious George (my faves). Oh, and snacks. Lots of snacks. Mama and Dada tell me I'll be on the beach again soon enough when we go visit vóvó and vôvô in June - can't come soon enough!
