Summer is here!!!

I went to the cape for the first time this year last weekend. Daddy had a triathlon race on Saturday morning. I wanted to watch but it was real early in the morning and would have cut significantly into my sleeping time…can’t have that! So Mom and I waited at the house. He came in first for his division for new timers and second for new timers overall!! Go Daddy!! Auntie Kelly did very well too, also placing for new timers. I hope I’m blessed with some of those Peabody athletic genes!!!

The rest of the weekend we hung out. I got to visit with uncle John and Chrissie and my cousins too!! Sunday we met Papa, Grampy, Uncle Bill and Marny for brunch to celebrate Father’s Day!! I made daddy a picture frame at school and we bought him an OSU bike shirt. Yeah for cape cod weekends!!!

HATS!!!

We are starting to notice that even though everyone may say Luke looks like a Wurtz it appears he has his daddy’s personality! He is very silly. Loves to walk around with the plastic bucket on his head, picking up toys and balancing them on top. Loves to put just about anything he can balance on his head. During dinner, he also loves to put food on his head and laughs!! Yes, there is certainly a lot of Peabody in this boy!!

I'm 2!!!

No not Luke…it’s me Marley!! I can post on the blog too!!! Mom and Dad keep saying “well we made it 2 years with him”. Not sure what that means but I think they are so proud of how much growing up I’ve done in the past year. I’m allowed out of my crate most of the time someone is home b/c I am no longer a “complete liability”. I still chew Luke’s toys, jump up and get food every chance I get and sometimes get a little crazy in the house but I’m maturing every day.

My friends from the neighborhood came over and we had doggie ice cream. Mom and Dad gave me a stuffed duck…the one from Target, my favorite!!! I’m going to try not to destroy this one for at least like two weeks or something.

Zoo Time

We spend the Mem Day at the Southwick Zoo this past Monday. It was big fun. I like the zoo. I got to see all the animals Mommy and Daddy point out in my books. There were Zebras, giraffes, elephants, camels, monkeys, you name it. AND I got to swing on the swings. AND I went to the petting zoo area and touched some goats and a turkey looking thing. AND I got to feed the deer in the deer park – daddy didn’t have 50 cents for the deer food so we used some of my snacks, apparently deer don’t like cut up pancakes too much, who knew!

FUN WITH BOXES!!

Normal people get a shipping box, take the contents out and put it out for the trash…..not in this house!! One order from diapers.com + bored family members = big fun with boxes!!!

GO DADDY GO!!!

Daddy and Auntie Kelly did their first Triathlon this morning. Mommy and I came out to cheer them on. The both did an amazing job. Congrats guys!!!


But the best part of the whole thing was the swing set nearby for me to waste some time. I LOVE to swing and watch everyone race!!!

Parenting Lesson #458

When you hear your toddler on the monitor cracking up laughing in his crib….alone…when he should be sleeping – take action!!

Last night, about an hour after Luke went to bed I heard him in the monitor laughing so hard for about 2 or 3 minutes. I thought what in the world could be so funny. He talks a lot while he is going to sleep, throws things out of his crib, drinks from his sippy but laughing…that was a first. We, mistakenly, forgot about it and went to bed. Poor Jay went into Luke’s room this morning to find a pantless, diaperless Luke standing in his crib smiling ear to ear. Diaper thrown to one side of the room, pants to the other. Yes, Luke spent the night “free as a bird”. We can only imagine, he must have been so thrilled with himself seeing his favorite activity is running around after bath time naked. Needless to say we had quite a bit of laundry this morning and duck taped his diaper on tonight…he he!!!

I'm a BIG helper around the house, haven't you heard?

I honestly do not know what these parents of mine did before I came along. I am such a big helper around the house.

Here I am helping Mom clip Sunday coupons:


And here, cleaning the dishes:


Organizing the Q-tip drawer:


And best of all, I can handle this dinner thing all on my own!!

Who ever said toddlers were hard???

Looks Like Someone Needs A New Shirt!!!!!

Marathon Monday!

Dad took me to the Boston Marathon yesterday. We met Auntie Kelly, Cousins Madison and Chase and Mimi there. The weather was again a perfect 10…maybe a bit warm for the runners but for me it was perfect!!! We got to see all the elite runners and even Lance Armstrong. Dad says only foreigners win because Americans are couch potatoes. I don’t really understand this whole marathon thing but I did clap as they went by. If I had to go that long of a distance I would definitely have Mom or Dad stroll me the 26.2 miles cause those people looked like they were hurtin’.
