Ruby is here!

My baby sister is finally here!

Story time

I really love to read. This past weekend I stopped in for some story time at the bookstore. For the first time I actually sat and listened to the story - if only for a few minutes...

If only they had "A Perfect Picnic" or "The Little House" then I would have sat and listened all day. I make Mama and Dada read those over and over and over and over....they grumble every time I ask them to read those - he, he, he.

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.

ABC, easy as 123

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?
