A look into our world

Well, you see, Auntie Sarah is about to give birth to my best friend Alex. Since Uncle Tim is out of town for a few days, his sister, Leah, is staying with Auntie Sarah to keep her company. Miss Leah and Auntie Sarah were sweet friends and let Mommy and Dad have a "date night" while they stayed and played with me. We had a great time! I grabbed my phone and scooted up on Auntie Sarah's lap. She doesn't have much room on there these days for me, but she loves me so much that she made it work.
Miss Leah and me!

That's right; I LOVE opening and closing doors! Any kind of doors - cupboards are great, too. The only problem is, when I close a bedroom door really tight, I can't get it back open. So I try to only close it a little, and then I can pry it open again....and close it again....and open it again....and close it again....

This afternoon was very exciting. Dad and I stepped out onto the porch, and there was a box there that said "Oliver Primm." How exciting! Since Aunt Julia was the only auntie on my Mommy's side that couldn't be there for my birthday, she sent me a present in the mail.
I couldn't get it open quick enough....hmmm...I wonder what it could be??
We finally got the box open, and it was a wonderful sight - a whole kit of different musical instruments!

This morning I've been playing hard. I decided to ride my bike for a bit...
...then it was time to get off my bike - all by myself!
I spotted my elmo chair across the room, and this is what I look like when I try to sit on it all by myself. (still need a little help on this one)
My elmo chair is the perfect spot to restring my guitar. What a great morning of playing it's been so far!

This is the cool new bike that my Grandpa and Grandma got me for my birthday! It's very fun to ride. As you can see in this picture, it can be in a position where it rocks - then that rocker part can swing up the back and Mommy or Daddy can push me around in my bike - or when I'm a little bigger, it can come completely off so I can just ride by myself. I really like my new bike...I like to stand up and rock myself back and forth, and I like to try to get on and off by myself. (p.s. as of today, I can get on and off my train, all by myself, with parents not even close - and pretty gracefully, I might add!) And Mommy says, yes, that is drool all over my shirt :) I've gotten my 7th tooth - another bottom one. That makes 4 top ones and 3 bottom ones! They make for some good chewing. And drooling. Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa, for my great bike!
