Binky Trail

I'm officially down to 1 binky, aka, my Nah Nah. I arrived in Boise with 4 of them. Left with 3. Home with 2. Now down to 1.

1 is missing in our house
1 was left on the plane
1 was somewhere in Boise

And then...

arriving via text message, my missing blue Nah Nah. Now how can I get this sent to me for my 6 am wake up call?

My first real hair cut

This is me getting my first real haircut. Mama didn't tell daddy and daddy doesn't like it. I hated getting it cut. You can see me tolerating the process. But after she was done I got a cool mohawk and then we went to the park to slide and run. I dont think I will be getting my hair cut again for a long time

Now I know why my friend Jack was so protective when mama and Barb tried to sneak my last cuts at Jack's house!.

My 3rd trip to Boise!

I had such a fun weekend! Uncle Brian got us passes to come see everyone in Boise. Mama and I left on Saturday morning and I even had my own seat. I was very restless on the plane because I wanted to play and not sit. But mama brought my favorite books and snacks- blueberries. But then I dumped the berries everywhere and made such a bad mess that mama had to take off my pants and shoes and socks so I wore my diaper on the plane!

When we got to Boise, Uncle Brian met us in the airport and took us to see Auntie Susan and my cousins Connor, Nathan and Laura. It was sunny but cold. Laura played with me lots! I was afraid of their dogs big time. I used to like Chopper but now he is way too scary and I didn't want to ever be on the ground unless they were outside or put away. Sorry Chopper and Brutus!

On Saturday afternoon, we went to the Boise zoo! It was sooo much fun. I saw so many animals I have never seen before and I ran and ran and ran. Mama bought me a cool shirt to wear this summer to remind me of the fun time I had at the zoo. I cant wait to go back. Its my favorite zoo!

Sunday we went on a long road trip and I got to go into the mountains to see Cascade and Donnelly. I wore my McCall Idaho shirt that Auntie Erin bought me when she visited there. We got out in the snow, met some friends and went to lunch. When we came home I danced on the fireplace. You can see me where standing up there while Uncle Brian fixed the fireplace part I ripped off.

My flight home was on Monday. I don't know why but mama spent the whole time apologizing to the people around us. I was just trying to have fun and move on her lap! Things I did on my flight

- threw my binkies at everyone around me
- threw my books in the aisle
- threw my cup at the man across the aisle, it was cool, my cup landed right in his lap!
- kicked the seat in front of us
- flipped up the tray of the man next to us, hey I didn't know he had a full glass of ice water on the tray!
- screamed
- ate the binding of my favorite book
- pooped my diaper really bad the people around us kept staring
- flirted with the lady behind us

Even though I don't like flying (I take after my daddy), I had such a great time in Boise. I love seeing my cousins and staying at their house and I can't wait to go back this summer and play at their park and swim!

Playing with Brayden

What a cool surprise. I woke up from my nap and mama told me that we were going to play at Auntie Michelle's house to see Brayden. We even got to bring Charlie. Brayden has lots of cool big kid toys like a slide and a bike and trees to climb. I brought my ball to share. We ran in the pasture and kicked the ball. Brayden let me sit on her bike and they even let me bring home a bike my size for the summer. I cant wait to ride it!

Shoe Shopping!!

Nana has a tradition where she gets to buy her grandkids their first real pair of shoes. So, mama wanted to wait until I was officially walking before we shopped. It was so special. Nana took me to Nordstrom and I could pick out ANY pair I wanted. Bompa came too, that was fun. You can see me looking at the selection and then trying on the pair she bought me. And, to celebrate my first pair of shoes I got a stuffed animal and a balloon!! I am such a lucky boy!

Minneapolis!

These are some of the highlights of my fun Minneapolis trip. I got to stay at Gramma's house and play with Leo. Gramma made this fun game for me where I can put the ball into the cup! It was also so so cold. Grandpa said it was so cold that it was actually warmer in the freezer than it was outside! But because it was so cold I got to debut my new coat and silly hat! One day Auntie Julia and daddy and mama took me downtown and we walked around the shops. You can see here that Auntie Julia likes the shoes I picked out myself!! I loved seeing Paul and Gramma and Grandpa and Auntie Julia. And, I cant wait to see them here again soon!
