A Trip To Houston - February '10

Mommy wanted us to get one last trip in to Houston before I turn 2 next month and need an airline ticket of my own so we spent the first week of February down there visiting my Nona & Pops. My Aunt Megan and cousin Amelia came down from Dallas and joined us for the weekend. I loved playing with all of the cool toys that they have down there and visiting with them and the doggies. The week went by so fast and I miss them already! I'm looking forward to seeing them at my house next month for my birthday!

We lucked out on the way down there and on the way home and had the entire row on the airplane to ourselves. I was fascinated with all of the 'noises' I was hearing and with looking out the window. Once we landed in Houston I loved watching the monorail or 'choo choo train' go between the terminals.

Here I am enjoying my 'Lil Red Tractor' that Nona & Pops have at their house. I haven't quite perfected the concept of turning a wheel to get the direction I want to go so mommy had to position me to go in a circle.

On Saturday we all went downtown to see Sesame Street Live: Imagine 1,2,3. I loved it so much that I was eventually dancing in the aisle! Unfortunately the videos that mommy tried to take of me dancing came out really dark but hopefully you can catch a glimpse of me!

Our trip would not have been complete without a little swim! Luckily Pops was willing to get in the hot tub with me. Thanks Pops! Love you guys!

Birthday Party Fun!

Last weekend mommy and daddy took me to my cousin Lauren's 5th birthday party at the Strongsville Rec Center pool. I could not get enough of it! I was swimming and going down the slide on the pirate ship with daddy! Here are a couple of pictures and videos.

I'm Going To Have A Little Brother!

Mommy and daddy found out that the new baby is a boy! I'm so excited that I'm going to have a little brother to play with and look after! Here are his latest pictures at 20 weeks. We can't wait for him to get here! Now mommy and daddy have to work on getting my "big boy" room ready and the new nursery ready!

Trains, Trains, and More Trains!

Recently I have sort of become obsessed with "choo choo trains". With this new discovery mommy & daddy finally took the time to set up my new train table that I got from Nona & Pops for Christmas. I absolutely love it! I can actually spend hours of my day just making the train go "round and round" the tracks! Thanks Nona & Pops!

Here is the video of me coming down the stairs and seeing my new train for the first time followed by two videos of me playing. Enjoy!

My First Snowman

Last week it started to warm up a little bit (high 30's instead of the low 20's) so mommy decided to take me outside and help me build my first "noman." Here is a picture and a video of our results. Every morning I go to the window and check him out. I keep telling mommy "Oh no, his nose" because his face has apparently melted off and is now laying on the ground :)

Learning My Zoo/Rainforest Animals

Last week mommy & I went to the Rainforest at the Zoo because I was dying to see the monkeys! Here are a couple of pictures and videos from the day. I'm getting really good at recognizing my animals!

Disney On Ice "Let's Celebrate!"

Last night mommy and daddy took me to my very first Disney On Ice performance at the Q Arena downtown. I absolutely loved every second of it! They treated me to a special souvenir, a wand that is shaped like Mickey's ears that lights up and bounces little beads around inside like a snow globe! I couldn't put it down the rest of the night, I even ended up taking it to bed with me. Here are some pictures and videos from the evening.
