I like to go to the playground. I can't quite pronounce 'l', 'r' or 'd' yet, though, so it comes out as "PAYGOWN!"

And I make the mommy and the daddy take me every single day. Except when I make them watch NEMO with me.

There are lots of fun things to do there. We chase the doggie, and we climb on things, and we spin around and we throw wood chips everywhere. When there are other kids, sometimes we play, but mostly we run away and scream. It's fun.

I'm learning some new words. The mommy and the daddy still have a hard time understanding me most of the time. I think it's probably their fault, though, since I try so hard to pronounce everything correctly. *sigh* This human interaction thing is tough.

We moved to a new house. It's fun, because I don't have to go out to the barn in order to climb up and down stairs now. I can do it in the comfort of my own home!

The yard isn't as big, and there are no huckleberries to munch on, but there are a lot more kids around, and we don't have to walk down a busy street to get to a park. We just cross the road, and there we are!

It's cold outside, so we don't spend as much time in the big blue room as we would normally. There has been a lot of "watch!"ing going on. Daddy has given up his silver computer for me to "watch!" nemo on. nemo. Nemo. NEMO NEMO NEMO NEMO!

Sorry, I don't know what got into me.

Yesterday daddy and I went outside and picked berries and ate them. They were yummy and I ate them all day long until mommy told daddy she thought I had too many of them.

Then he tried to get mommy to try them. She made a terrible face I have never seen before when she had one. She said they were too tart. cjcollier laughed for a long time. Then I thought perhaps it is fun to make the mommy eat stuff she doesn't like so she makes a face. I have been trying ever since to get her to make a face like that!

Later on, I had a big smelly diaper and mommy told me that it was full of berries. I tried to eat them but mommy wouldn't let me. Both mommy and daddy seemed horrified.

I just laughed.

Okay so now I am getting to the point where I can say a few things to mommy and daddy and they actually *get it*. Most of the time, I tell them something and they just look at me and scratch their head like they have no idea what I am trying to say.

I am beginning to think maybe they aren't really... um... all there. Perhaps they got dropped on their heads when they were my age. It took them the longest time to figure out I was telling them I wanted to picked up...

I am like half way through a paragraph before I realize they have no idea what I am saying! They look at each other and say how cute it is that I am talking nonsense.

Talk about annoying! I just tried to explain to them that I really want to spend more time watching movies and less time getting my diaper changed (why do they insist on doing that all the time anyway?)... and I am making a pretty good argument and they have no idea what I am talking about!!! Frustrating.

Anyway, daddy was gone for a really long long time. I almost forgot all together what he even looked like he was gone for so long! I started getting nervous that cjcollier was never coming back and then I thought to myself what if hannahadams decided to go away too?? I got really worried about this and so I decided not to let mommy out of my sight. I told her (even though she had no idea what I was talking about) that I was going to be nice and snuggle with her more and hug on her if she promised not to take off like the daddy.

Then, whenever she left the room, I made sure to yell really loud so she came back.

She seemed to really like the extra snuggling and it worked. She didn't go away. Also, it worked so well that the daddy came home. I guess I should keep doing it!

hannahadams read me books tonight... and I liked saying moon moon over and over again. I made her read me 3 books and I only half listened because I felt like being grumpy.

And then I cried and mommy made me two bottles.

I got kind of nervous for a while because she like *disappeared* and wasn't around to put me down for beddy bye like she usually does. And then she wasn't around for breakfast either. And then she wasn't around for lunch, dinner or beddy bye again. AND, then she wasn't around the next time either!.

But then I was also sort of having funny with daddy and we do so much stuff I hardly noticed that mommy was missing. We went to this fun place out in the sun and we played with doggies (I love doggies!) and we danced and ate lots of food. Then, mommy showed up for a little while but then she went away again!

What is up with that?

But she is back now and she told me she is going to stay put. I suppose I can stop wondering. And plus I really like hanging out with daddy because he lets me get into more stuff than mommy.

But the mommy cut her hair and it looks really awful. I tried to tell her but she still doesn't understand everything I say. Oh well. It will grow out I suppose.

My financial advisor suggested I check out M-Velopes

Daddy and I have been spending time together this weekend. Mommy went to the city to have some play dates. The kitties have been playing with me, too. It’s been sunny, and Daddy has been reading me books.

We went to Seattle to a park on the waterfront on Daddy’s birthday. I tried to get into the water, but Daddy prevented me. I screamed and cried and had a fit, but daddy wouldn’t let me play on the big rocks. I got the last laugh, though. While we were playing in the sand on the beach, I saw that a ferry was floating past, and a big, big wave crashed over the driftwood! I got wet and giggled a lot.

‪book! book!

hannahadamsand cjcollier finally figured out that I don't like hanging out at home all the time! Now I go to "school". They started taking me to this place with lots of other kids and they drop me off and let me do what I want! I like it.

I get to use a spoon and drink from a cup and climb stairs and make stuff and draw and lots of new things I can't even tell you there are so many new things to do.

Funny part is that they are all weepy and silly and they hug me a lot when they drop me off. I just wanted them to let me go! I wanted to go play! They make me look bad in front of my homies when they get all clingy. Yuck. I pushed mommy away from me this morning and she was all sad and waved good bye but I was sort of busy so I just ignored her.

I have to teach her to be more independent! What is she going to do when I move out of the house? She needs to get a life! I don't mean to be mean or anything but she is just way in my space. I love her lots and when I fall down it is nice to have her around so I can get some milk (don't tell me new friends) but mostly I just want to climb stuff.

Anyway, I hope I get to stay at school every day. Damn it. I wish I could talk so I could tell them. They seem to think I would be upset about having them gone for a few hours? Finally I get a little elbow space! Phew.

Yesterday, we went on the boat again and ended up at a house! there was a tall funny man there with hair on his face like daddy has. He showed us pictures.

Mommy has been getting on my nerves recently. She has been keeping me from doing stuff I want to do. When I climb on top of things, she takes me down. When I want to put shiny things I find in my mouth, she stops me. When I want to go out the door and down the stairs and out into the street, she runs after me and makes me stay in the room!

This has been really annoying me. And when we were at the house, it was more of the same! I kept trying to put stuff in my mouth or rip up the paper I found and she wouldn't let me. I found out though that if I scream and shout and struggle and make a red faced fit, it makes mommy and daddy uncomfortable. So, to punish them, I am going to do that from now on.

too bad it doesn't stop them from doing it. my buddy Noah H. told me that sometimes it stops his mommy from making him do something he doesn't want to do. I am going to keep trying and see what happens.

Meanwhile, the tall funny man showed up at the next place that we went. Mommy and daddy call him Uncle Brian and he followed me around. I wasn't sure what to think of that but it wasn't like he tried to prevent me like mommy does. He would just jump in front of me right before I was going to go down some stairs. But, he wouldn't stop me from going.

And he tried to show me stuff and he was fun. I liked him but I don't know him that well so I refused to let him know I liked him too much.

I kept looking back to see if mommy and Uncle Aaron and daddy and Auntie Dorian were watching but they were talking about other stuff. They were not watching me!

Then, there was another person there. She was about my size and she wouldn't let me try on her shoes. I kept finding them and putting them on but she got mad and took them away and said mine mine mine over and over. maybe I should start doing that.
