Happy Memorial Day 2007

Congratulations to Aunt Beth and Uncle PJ. My new cousin (brady) was born on Wed May 30th at around 7:30am. Daddy says it was a painful birth, whatever that means, because Aunt Beth couldnt' take any medicine. Hope you are feeling good now Aunt Beth!! Brady, as you can imagine, i don't like to share the spotlight, and neither does Riley, so you have a few things stacked against you....heheheh.

Also, congratulations mommy for passing your PA real estate exam!

Lastly, a "bideo"! Daddy told me to tell you all that he took a lot of editing liberties with this one, but he thinks it turned out pretty good. maybe an emmy is in order? whatever...

enjoy!! (just hit the play button)

Happy Mother's Day (Belated!)

Daddy took some video of me after Mother's day, but he just got around to posting it. He said he tried his hand at doing some video editing just to see, so this video is a tad experimental! hope you all enjoy!

HAPPY MOTHER's DAY!

My trip to the dentist

Hi Everyone! I know posts are few and far between. I am probably getting less traffic since daddy's website has been offline too!

Yesterday i had my second trip to the dentist. when i was really young i had this multivitamin that stained my teeth and today the doctors finally got most of the stain off! it was fun at the dentist, and mommy said i was a really good boy! even the dental hygienest lady said i was pretty darn good for a two year old. they did have to do some scraping though, which i am sure you can imagine is not a fun experience! i am glad daddy had been playing dentist with me when i brush my teeth at home because i was all set to go!

happy birthday jake! sorry the bday message was late!

Hi Everyone!

Just thought I'd check in "old style". Things are going well with me. I am on spring break this week and have had some good down time. Today is my last day and I get to spend it with one of the greatest men ever, daddy! :)

Last week I am sad to say Gramby passed away. I don't remember Gramby, but daddy has been telling me all about her. we have also been saying prayers for her and grandad every night, special prayers.

we went on a very long car ride to aunt louise's house last weekend and we spent a few days there. i had a lot of fun hanging out with all my cousins and even getting teased by my uncles and even grandad! it was so great seeing you all!

potty training ... going well, not sure what mommy and daddy are waiting for in terms of the pullups!

speaking ... going really well too! stay tuned for more videos. we got a lot of positive feedback on the videos so we are going to keep going with them. hope you all are well!! good luck jake with your big move this weekend and i hope its warm where you are going! mommy seems very jealous!!

been a while...

i know, its been a while since i posted right? maybe like, a month?

well, no way i can fill you in on the past month, so we will just move forward. Daddy has a new idea for my blog, check out my next entry...

cya!

btw...congratulations to selena/dave and jen/bill who BOTH had their babies in the last 2 weeks! can't wait to meet samantha and bella!

I'm TWO today!!

2!
Wow, all the hype thats been building up, its finally here. Today is my second birthday!! Whoo hoo!


Not only that, but it is snowing!

Just thought I'd drop a note to everyone and let you all know that I am doing well. At school right now and mommy and daddy made cupcakes last night for my birthday. we are going to celebrate in school today, hopefully we won't get snowed out though.

I have received birthday wishes from so many of you, and just wanted to say thanks! I am having a very small bday party on Saturday, so I think I will see some of you there.


As for whats been going on around here?


School is going great and I am learning so much. My speech and vocabulary is growing at leaps and bounds! I am stringing words together with ease and enjoy conversing with mommy and daddy.

Lucy has been having a field day chasing the deer in our yard. On Saturday she ran after them into the woods and daddy had to go lucy hunting for her. He found her and she was in big trouble. She has done the same thing on Sunday and yesterday too, each day getting in trouble. I think she is not as fast a learner as me! :)

Mommy and Daddy have finally taken notice of my new years resolution (that i never told them about). I have been putting all my toys away before moving onto another project or meal time. I am glad they are so proud of me.

Oh, and the potty right? I have been telling you guys all about it!

Daddy snapped this shot of me this morning, but I am using the potty every day now for the most part. Sometimes multiple times. I have even managed to go poop poop in the potty. You should have seen daddy's face the first time I did that one! I have managed to do that one other time as well. I am still in my diapers, but i heard mommy pushing daddy the other night about getting pull ups. For some reason that old man is reluctant. I am still mastering sitting on the potty though, it can be tough. I think once I master the sitting down part though, I can move onto the more traditional standing position like daddy does. Time will tell I guess.

Not too much going on here, hope you are all doing well! Tomorrow is also Valentine's day, so happy Valentines day to all of you! I am taking Thomas the Train valentines for school (assuming we don't get snowed out). I have to give one to everyone in my class. They are making out this week because of me, free cupcakes today, valentines tomorrow! Oh, and tomorrow is hot dog day! whoo hoo!

cya later!!

(my school cupcakes!)

its all over now...and what a week!!

Daddy says Christmas is over and we are done traveling around from house to house for dinner here and there. i guess that means no more presents! :(

Just kidding, I got so much stuff and am very thankful. Need to get crackin on those thank you notes. Today was the first mention of back to school next week, so i know its pretty much over. this has been one great week though. well....except for the sickness. my cough is still hanging in strong, but the rest of me is pretty much good to go.

we capped off holiday week with a second visit to pop-pop and oma's house. we had a great time at dinner and opening more presents. why a round 2 you ask? Well, not everone was there for Christmas day, so they invited us again so that we could share Christmas with Summer, as well as the Waleski's (Aunt Jenn, Uncle Wasil, Chase, & Olivia). I love hanging out with Chase and Summer!


(thats us watching summer play with her new nintendo)

Dinner was great, meatballs!! whoo hoo, i love meatballs, and a nice fat roll. it was great. plus i played with some of Chase's cool toys too. Oma took a timer picture of all of us together. Glad she was able to be in it, because she couldn't be in the one on Christmas day...


(Christmas Day is below)


So, its been quite a week as I mentioned. Tuesday, the day after Christmas I spent at home with Mommy and Daddy. I think I posted, but I can't remember. I was pretty sick and VERY clingy to mommy and ESPECIALLY daddy (who was working). We took it easy though and I geared up for Wed when mom-mom and aunt louise were coming to pick me up for the day. we had a nice day, didn't get to see the trains in Chadds Ford, but we went to lunch @ Applebees!! Then we played most of the rest of the day at mom-mom's and daddy and mommy came over for dinner. Thu I hung out all day with daddy (same as today) because mommy was working. Its been great playing with all my new toys though. Taking up most of my time are my new train set and the little people car wash/garage, and I can utilize most of the little people that mom-mom got me. our place is a mess! (mommy keeps reminding us!)

hope you are all well though and i am looking forward to new years. we are going to uncle jim and aunt tracy's for a party, but before that, the Eagles play the Falcons. if they win they lock up the division! Remember before, daddy had lost faith in his team! I hope learned a lesson about loyalty! he he.

cya guys!
