I'm 16 Months Old!!!

Hi Everyone!!!

September has been a really fun month!  The weather has been amazing!  I have had a lot going on and I can't wait to tell you all about it!

Our month started with one of Mommy's bestest friends Christine ("Neen") coming to visit us.  Auntie Christine lives in Orlando FL and took a special trip to visit us.  Even thought it was the first time I met her, it felt like I've met her a zillion times.  She read me stories, gave me a bath, played with me, changed my diapers, took me to the park and fed me!  She was so amazing and I'm really glad that I was able to spend special time with her.  I can't wait for us to visit her in Florida one of these days.  Mommy was sad to see her go, but hopefully we'll see her again soon.

Then, we took a vacation!   Daddy, Mommy, Derby and I went to Martha's Vineyard.  We weren't sure how the weather was going to be...but it was PERFECT!   We went to the beach every single day.  Mommy strapped me on her back and we would take the walk over to Lambert's Cove.  We thought it was the perfect beach.

This was my first real summer exploring the beach:  the water, the sand, rocks, people, everything!  I LOVED IT! I splashed around, made shapes in the sand, went for walks, threw walks in the ocean, said hi to all the nice people and dogs.  I can't wait to go back to the beach next summer.

We also got to spend time with the Hall's!  Cooper and Sawyer came to the Vineyard for a few days, so we had fun  hanging out with them too!  I am so lucky to have such good friends!

 

THEN....my Nonnie came to visit us!  She stayed for a couple of days and we got to go to the beach together, do a little shopping, eat at a couple of restaurants...it was really fun to spend time with her.  She tells me lots of stories and makes me smile.  I love you, Nonnie.

I was really excited to spend time with my family for a whole entire week.

The rest of the month has been the usual:  exploring, dancing,  saying 3-4 syllables words (like MOTORCYCLE!!!!).  My favorite books are:  Hands are not for Hitting, Teeth are not for Biting, Wally the Green Monster and Curious George Rides.  My favorite songs are Row, Row Row Your Boat, Twinkle Twinkle, Itsy Bitsy Spider and ABCs.

I am also getting ready to go to my new classroom at school:  TODDLER 1.  That's right, I'm going to the Toddler room finally.  I am ready for a new challenge.  I have been doing some practice before I move over, so hopefully it will be smooth sailing.  It's going to be so fun and I will get to see some of my old friends.  I will also get to do music, spanish, yoga and drink out of a real cup!

Mommy and Daddy are so proud that I am such a big boy!

Happy Fall!

Love,

Clive

Kiss and Make Up....

Hi Friends and Family!

Since I haven't posted in awhile, I thought I could make up for some lost time with a few videos so you can see me in action..

I was having so much fun with my water table and Daddy squirting the hose on me!  I couldn't be any happier at this very moment!

A little message for my Nonnie!

I've added some new dance moves....check them out!

Love to you all!

I'm 15 Months Old!

Helllllllo!!

I am 15 Months Old!  I am really turning into a big boy and I'm focusing on all the little details in life.  This past month I have really been working on my fine motor skills.  I love helping Mommy turn on the light switches and getting the filter and coffee beans to help make her coffee.  Mommy needs her morning coffee you know.

I am really getting the hang of sign language along with saying the words.  I have added a few more signs (Sit, Please, Thank You). I am finding that when I sign Please, I get what I want.  So, you know....I USE it A LOT!

We have been a little sad this month.  Putt Putt is up in heaven.  I have been looking at his pictures and asking Mommy where he is.  I miss him.  We all miss him.  So, Mommy put a lot of pictures in my photo album so that she can tell me lots of stories to remember him.  He was a good boy.  Mommy doesn't have to worry.  I know I wasn't her first baby, but I will always protect her.  I Promise!

Mommy said that we didn't take a lot of pictures this month. Mostly because sitting still isn't fun.  So, most photos are when I'm reading a book or having some quiet time.  She keeps saying, CHEESE, so I'm trying to say it and hope I can show you all my teeth I have too!

That's it for note!  I have things to do, people to see...next month we will have photos of our family vacation to Martha's Vineyard!  Yahoooooooooey!  We can't wait...

Love,
Clive

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,
