I'm 17 Months Old!

Happy Fall Everyone!

The weather is definitely feeling more like fall and I've been very excited to wear my Boston Red Sox sweatshirt. We've been squeezing as much time outdoors while it's still nice. Before you know it, it will be WINTER!!!!

This month I have really been interested in pumpkins and spiders.  Every day, we have to go say hello to our neighbor's spider and pumpkins.  Of course, we have to sing, "Itsy Bitsy Spider!"

My other favorite songs this months have been ABC's and Twinkle Twinkle.  I also love to count in Spanish.  My favorite numbers are Cuatro and Ocho.  If only they were Ocho and Cinco, that would be funny!

I still love to read Hello Wally, Good Night Moon and my latest edition is Hop and Pop.  I think Mommy and I almost have it memorized!

I've become very brave and finally will swing on a swing.  I'm not so certain about it, but if I sit with Mommy, it's a lot more fun.

We had fun celebrating my friend Joey's 2nd Birthday.  We went to this really fun park and Daddy told me that he used to play here when he was little. That was cool.  I also got to see my friend Chloe.

Mommy and Daddy took me on a very special trip to the Aquarium.  I love animals and we had so much fun exploring and seeing lots of  animals.

The touch pool areas was really cool..  The nice man let me feel a starfish!

With Fall upon us, it wouldn't be right if we didn't do a little apple picking.  We had a fun day with the Panichella's picking the best apples.  The best part was eating them right off the tree!  And yes, I had to have one right then and there!!!

We had a really fun outing just before Halloween.  This was our second annual get together with the Mommy's group.  We all dressed up in our costumes and got to see the animals on the farm.  I was a cowboy and got to wear my cool boots!  One of my favorite things to do that day was sit on a tractor!

All the Mom's and Toddlers!  We got us all in one shot!!

That's it for now  I'll be sharing my Halloween adventures with you later this week!

Love,

14 Months - I'm an EXPLORER!

Hi Everyone - I'm sorry I've been a bit behind, but we have been having such a busy summer!  If you were to sum up my 14th Month, it's been all about EXPLORING!  We have gone to lots of new places and each destination has been filled with fun.  Even though I still love to go to the grocery store and costco with Daddy, I have a few added favorites.

1)  EXPLORING THE ZOO - We went with our friends the MacKinnon's to our first trip to Franklin Park Zoo.  We saw a Mama and Baby Gorilla, Lion, Birds, Giraffes and so many more animals...I have read about them in books and have learned to make their sounds, but it was so cool to SEE them.  I had such a blast and my friend Joey was a great wagon buddy.

2)  EXPLORING Water - I LOVE playing with water.  For my birthday, Nonnie got me this great water table.  I have had so much fun splashing, floating my toys and pouring water on my belly.  It's been fun with the hot summer days to cool off. 

3)  EXPLORING the OCEAN!  We went for my first real trip to the beach as a toddler.  We went last year when I was a little baby, but this was even better!  I was able to say hello to our neighbors on the beach and play with my sand toys.  When we arrived at the beach, I ran straight for the water!  The cold waves didn't scare me at all!  I kept slipping and sliding and giggled every time.  I also tried to see how the sand tasted.  I said  "Mmmmm...," but Mommy said, "Yuck!"  Oh well, I had to try it and see for myself.  I had fun playing chase with Mommy.  Daddy helped me make sand hills too!  I had such a fun day!  I even took a 3 hour nap.  Mommy and Daddy loved that!

CLIMB, EXPLORE, PLAY!!!!!!!!! 13 MONTHS, HOORAY!!!

Hi Everyone - My 13th Month was a busy one.  So much happened....so let me show you a few pictures and tell you all about it!

1)  The Bruins won the Stanley Cup!  Go Bruins!  The Cup is supposed to come to Mommy's office, so I can't wait to touch it in person!  I was trying to act like a goalie! 

2)  I learned to CLIMB:  On to a  box to look out the window, a chair, a full flight of stairs and anything that looks worthy of climbing on. 

3)  It's all about PLAY!!  I love to play with my friends, Mommy, Daddy, Putter and Derby!  Our summer has been off to a really fun start!  

Derby is trying to take my duck!

Morgan was helping me drink from my cup.  I am still practicing!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was concentrating really hard with my toy...

I SERIOUSLY love my neighborhood playground!  Morgan came with me to play, it was so fun!

 

 

 

I have a new obsession with noses.  I will touch your nose too!

Music is my new obsession!  I LOVE to Dance, Dance, Dance!

4)  I LOVE my DAAA.....DEE!  We wished him a Happy Father's Day.  We went to a nice brunch.  I can't wait for Daddy to teach me to play lacrosse with the new Daddy and Me set I got for him.

5)  Mommy's 2 Best Boys - Putter was taking a rest outside on a nice summer day.  So Mommy and I sat down next to him and took a photo.  We won't realize how special this photo will be for us someday. 

6)  I am also what my Mommy calls a chatterbox.  I love to talk.  I hope that you will visit us so I can tell you all about what I'm up to all by myself!! 

That's all for now!  I'll talk to you all soon!

Love, Clive
