Long Time No Speak!

Wow, its been a really long time since we posted huh? Its definitely been a busy summer since June 18th. Lets see if I can remember, but most of what we did is captured in pictures on daddy's website, so go check it out.

In June, we went to the Outer Banks for a family vacation to a really big house that was really far away. There I went swimming for the first time in a VERY long time and I got to go on teh beach, in the sand, and in the ocean. The ocean does not excite me, especially when it is cold! Daddy says to give it time and I will like it. He and mommy picked out sand crabs for me and helped me build cool stuff out of sand. I also got to hang out with Chase, and it was fun chasing him around and wrestling and stuff. I wish I could hang out with him more, but he lives so far away.

After the beach we had Lexa's birthday party! Wow, can you believe you are one Lexa?? I remember last year when you were born! Happy Birthday, had a blast at your party!

Then 4th of July, we all came down with a minor stomach bug that saddled us in to skipping hte rain soaked fireworks show at Hartefeld. We did visit some of Mommy's friends who had a gigantic play room! There were toys everwhere. I could tell by the disapproving look in daddy's eyes that we would not be getting one of these soon!

Then we had a weekend birthday party for mommy and daddy at The Smedley's house in Delaware. I played by the pool and watched in amazement as Jake swam all over the place! Jake, you are a brave one, and a great swimmer! We shot water guns, played with cars, and met three little dogs there! The following weekend we headed to NJ for Benjamin's birthday. That was a long car trip!

I think I am finally caught up! Last night we went back to the cecil county fair and had a blast! I saw SO many animals! I even petted a COW! How many people born in Northern NJ get to say that! ha! We saw some great horses too, and then we got ice cream (chocolate) and mommy got some cotton candy. I tried a bite and spit it out, it tasted good but felt like paper in my mouth! Daddy and mommy just laughed, mommy said, don't push him Rick, if he doesn't like it...

btw..Rick is my daddy's name.

Things are going really well though at summer camp, I really like it there a lot. At home things are going well too. Last night when I was goofing around with my NUK (passifier) it broke. This morning I chose to throw it out. It was rough going to sleep tonight but this is my first full day without it. I miss it a lot, but daddy said that big boys don't need it anymore. He reminded me that since I can do all sorts of things by myself that I don't need it.

Potty training is going GREAT! I haven't pooped in a diaper or underwear in probably 3 weeks! CAn you believe it?? I am still not so great about going Pee pee when I have to, but give it time man! Mommy and daddy switched me to pull ups about 3 weeks ago and told me not to poop or pee in them. I think we will be going to big boy underwear very soon.

Videos coming soon, and thanks if you read THIS far!! cya!
