Happy Labor Day!!

I went to the Cape for the long weekend to stay with Mimi. Nana came with us and I got to see my cousins, Auntie Kelly, Uncle Scott, Chrissie and Uncle John. It was big fun! We went to the beach on Sunday and much to my surprise my good friend Will showed up! We had lots of fun playing in the sand. He has a Mimi too…different one than mine, she came to the beach with Will and his mommy and daddy!! Sunday night everyone had lobsters while Chase and I ate other stuff…we aren’t big enough for lobsters yet! But they sure look like fun to eat, maybe in a few years I’ll be a big boy and have my very own lobster to eat!! I got tired from all the action so Chase read books to me before bed. He is very good to me. Monday we went to the pool. More fun in the sun!!! I was trying to soak it up because mommy says the sun goes away after Labor Day. I was sad to hear that because I like the sun!! Thanks Mimi for a big fun weekend at the cape!!

Grandma and Grandpa Visit - Martha's Vineyard

Since my school has been closed for two weeks, Grandma and Grandpa came from Ohio to visit with me. It has been a bit chaotic. Mommy left on a business trip to Mexico for 3 days. I got to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa. We played, went to the park, the pool, etc… When mommy got back from her trip we all went to Martha’s Vineyard for the day(Grandma, Grandpa, Mommy, Daddy, Papa and Me!). I was a trooper. We left the house at 830am and didn’t get home until 1030pm. You have to take a ferry to get there and because of me…I’m a logistical nightmare sometime …we took papa’s car too. Papa showed us around the island, we had lunch in Edgartown, went through the house Papa is building, say Gay Head, and had ice cream in Oak Bluffs. It was big fun. I think I enjoyed the ferry ride the most of all!!!

Milestone Moment!

I am not sure if it was the excitement of the trip, having Grandma and Grandpa there or the ocean air but while we were having a nice lunch at a seafood restaurant in Martha’s Vineyard I had a Milestone Moment. They served my milk in a nice plastic cup and straw. Until now, Mommy has been bringing an extra sippy to transfer milk. I tired to drink out of the straw and this time it clicked and I got it!! I was so thrilled with myself that I had to get a refill on my milk cup. Yeepie!!!

Last Day of School

My last day of daycare was 2 Friday's ago. My school is closed for two weeks as they prepare the NEW classroom for me and all my friends to move to the toddler room after Labor Day. I am very excited to be in the big boy room but even more excited that all my friends will be moving with me. This room is bigger and even has a class goldfish!!! We sleep on mats which will be a big change for me since I'm used to my nice crib in the infant room but we're told everyone adjusts. one of my teachers is moving up with us. I can't wait to go back. This year is going to be big fun!!

Cape Cod Weekend - Falmouth Road Race!

I FINALLY went to the cape this weekend to spend some time with my Mimi and all the “people”. We had fun going to the beach on Saturday. Sunday Daddy, Auntie Kelly, Uncle Scott and Mimi did the road race. I stayed back because Mommy had to work :( But I had fun playing with Nana. I got to play with my cousins. They are fun stuff! I must have looked like I was having so much fun because Daddy said he would take me back down this coming weekend (while Mommy does girls weekend in NYC). Yeah for Cape Cod!!

I’m going to be the big brother!!

In case you haven’t heard (shame on my parents for not spreading the word) I am going to be the big brother!!! I’m being told this is a big responsibility but I think I’m up for the challenge. We also just found out my little sibling is a little SISTER!! I am very excited. I don’t know exactly when she is coming or how she is getting here but when I get more information I’ll be sure to let everyone know. Some of my friends at daycare have siblings. They tell me it’s a pretty cool thing. And my best friend at daycare is also having a sister soon so we can compare notes!

On an unrelated note, poor mommy was sick for a while and gets tired sometimes. She doesn’t workout the way she used to. I can tell too, she has a belly now and has to wear bigger clothes. I hope mommy gets back into shape before my sister comes or she will have a hard time chasing us both around!!!

Check out my favorite accessory to every outfit...

Beach Bum!

I’ve been spending my July on the beach if you couldn’t tell. Mom, Dad and I have been exploring the beaches on the North Shore, since we aren’t able to get to the Cape nearly as much as we’d like this summer. I went to Long Beach in Rockport with my friend Will and his family a few weeks back. We had big fun. He likes playing in the sand. I was more about walking around all over the place. Yesterday, we went to Cranes Beach in Ipswich. It was bigger and shallow way out so I could get my tootsies wet without making too much of a commitment to go “in”. Daddy found some crabs (live ones!) for me and we watches as they scurried away after daddy put them down. I’ve managed to acquire quite the tan this summer, despite my 50+ sunscreen!!!

My Trip to the Green Monster!!!

Mom and Dad took me to my first Red Sox game today!!! YEAH!! Finally I got to see first hand what all the fuss is about. It was big fun!!! When we sat down, it took me about 20 minutes to sit and stare before I could even react. I was overwhelmed by all the people, sights, and sounds. A few innings in however, I was making friends with the neighbors, dancing to the music when the players went up for bat and clapping on cue. That place is nuts. My favorite thing might have been the big flags waving overhead. I REALLY liked looking and pointing at them. I am still confused by one thing, where was this big green monster Mom and Dad kept talking up. They pointed and said "look there is the green monster". All I saw was a big wall...sigh, who knows!! But, the best part of the whole thing was that the Sox won 18-5….WOO HOOO…GO SOX!!!

My July 4th Weekend!

Mom and Dad decided we were going to stay back from the cape this year and “hang with the locals” for the long weekend. The weather left much to be desired but we made the most of it. My new friend’s Matt and Alescia came to visit from CT. I got to go to Matt’s bike race. I went to my friend Jackson’s house for a BBQ on the 4th. Papa made a nice pasta bake for dinner Saturday night. Sunday the weather FINALLY started to turn so we went to Quail Ridge for some poolside fun! Not a bad weekend for a local yocal!!
