My First Haircut!

Hi everyone!
My hair's been getting pretty long- here's a shot of the back (notice the lovely curls, courtesy of Mommy)
And here's one from the front- I've definitely had some pretty bad hair days recently.

So I made an appointment at the local salon for a haircut. There were tons of toys to play with, I got to sit in this really cool fire truck chair and wear a cool cape. The nice lady squirted my hair with water (which I did not like), then she combed my hair (which I really liked), and let me play with a comb. It was totally cool.
For like a minute.

Then, they informed me I had to stay in the chair! Don't they know how well I can walk now? There's so much to look at! Why would I want to stay in one place? Here's a video Daddy took of how the rest of it basically went:

And here are the after pictures:

Pretty suave, eh? I was cranky the rest of the day, so we couldn't really get a good smiling picture, but I'm sure we'll be able to take one in the next few days.

We're planning on picking up some pumpkins soon, so stay tuned!

Visit to Aunt Debi's House

Hi everyone! You'll never believe all the fun I had this weekend! We went to Charleston and stayed with Aunt Debi (technically Great-Aunt Debi, sometimes known as Awesome-Aunt Debi).

We did lots of fun stuff- we went to a barbeque restaurant that had fun doors to push open. We also went to a playground at Cousin Julia's house. It was really hot outside, so we left the playground. Here we are in the car. Aunt Debi knows a lot of the same games Grandma does- "This Little Piggy" and that funny "Eye Winker" rhyme.

I had lots of fun playing at Aunt Debi's house. There were some fun toys to play with, but mostly I liked running around the house. I also made friends with Abigail.
Here I am playing football with Abigail. She likes to give kisses as much as I do. (By the way, I love my new football- it has the Piggly Wiggly pig on it. And my cool shirt in the picture above says "I'm big on the pig!")
On Sunday, we got to visit with Harvey and Christine. They're friends of Great-Grandma Joy. We had a very nice visit with them; they have a great yard to run around in and a fun house to explore. (Don't mind the mean look on my face, I was just cranky.)

At Harvey and Christine's house, I played with my favorite toy- the remote control! Here I am using it as a telephone.

And here I am hanging onto it even while upside down.

We had such a great time in Charleston! I was so pooped from having fun that when we got in the car to come home, I was asleep before I could even get my hand out of my snack trap bowl. Thanks for the great visit, Aunt Debi and family!

Love,

My Latest Exploits

Hi, everybody!
I've been doing so much fun stuff lately, I thought I'd give you an update. Here are some things I like doing now:

• turning light switches on and off
• opening and closing doors (still a favorite)
• getting chased around the house by Daddy
• chasing the cats around the house
• climbing onto stuff (chairs, the coffee table, the couch)
• yelling loudly at people walking past our house
• throwing balls
• eating with a spoon (I get tired of using the spoon, so I use my hands sometimes, too)

• holding phones up to my ear (the back of my head, a lot of times) and saying "Hello?"
• hugging and kissing other babies
• pushing my golf bag around

• saying "oh!" when I drop stuff. Mommy says "uh oh," but I prefer to shorten it. Here's a video of me dropping my cheerios, helping Mommy clean up my mess and then I got to drink from a real cup.

By the way, I didn't hurt myself there at the end, just slipped a little.
Talk to you later!

Pimpin' My Blog

You may have noticed the new colors and designs on my blog. I thought it was time to upgrade, so I got some help from Mommy. Here is a movie that I took all by myself! Hope you like the movie and the new look!

Summer 2009

Now that the summer is officially over, I thought I would take some time to reflect on what a great time I had! Here's a slideshow of how I spent my summer. Enjoy!

Sitting in Stuff

I like sitting in stuff.

In...

on...

under...

Even if I can barely fit.

Here are some pictures you've already seen, but I think they prove my point.

Uncle B and Aunt Elissha's Wedding

Hi everyone!

I've had a really exciting week! Last Monday, Grandma flew here to Atlanta and then on Tuesday, Grandma, Mommy and I drove to Virginia. Grandma sat with me and entertained me the whole time. I like to think I entertained her some, too.

We had a nice visit with Grandpa George and some of Mommy's friends. Here I am with my new friend, Baby Roxie.

Then, the big event was Uncle B and Aunt Elissha's wedding this weekend. On Friday, we went to the rehearsal dinner and I got to hang out with all of Daddy's family.

This is my cousin Mia. She lives in Arizona.

I really liked Mia- I gave her lots of hugs.

Grandpa Steve helped me meet some ladies outside the restaurant.

On Saturday, we got all dressed up for the big wedding. This is the only picture of my shirt all tucked in. I'm saying "Come on, let's go to the wedding already!"

Aunt Elissha and Uncle B got married at a beautiful botanical garden. Don't they look great? I didn't really see the ceremony because I was busy playing with Mia and all the cool flowers. Mommy was just happy that I was quiet!
Here we are at the reception.

Daddy and I both had cool ties.

Here's Grandma Joy and her grandchildren. I was very happy Grandma Joy could make the trip.

And here's the Park side of the family.

And then I discovered the dance floor!

Uncle Kevin and Aunt Olivia helped me breakdance. I danced with Grandma, too.

Here I am being quite the ladies' man with Mia's little sister, Riley. I might have to keep working on my moves.

After me and Mia, these guys were the next best dancers. They were dressed like the guys from the movie "Dumb and Dumber". They even had top hats and canes. After all that excitement, I headed back to the hotel. I set the alarm...

...and laid down for a well-deserved rest.

I had so much fun this past week, and really enjoyed seeing everybody. Congratulations Aunt Elissha and Uncle B!!
