Apr 27- Spendin' My Days Just Doin' Stuff

Here is a collection of random pictures from the month. We had a camera malfunction and other things going down which prevented adequate blogging for the month (according to our readership.) i am almost two. i love in and out and dump and pick up. i can dump really good. see. i play with blocks. i build trains with a mommy and a daddy on it. i can say chugga, chugga, chugga, choo, choo when i build and play with trains. i make a big train with all my blocks and then i knock the train over. oops. ooo-oooh. i like to do it. editor's note: Camera malfunction. Erynn's design asethetic is modern precarious. Wish we could have gotten the picture. The train looked like a palm tree with people blocks on the end of the fronds. i went got a new busy book with monkeys and lions and bears (no oh my.) i can zipper the monkey up the tree and down. i learning how to un-buckle the bear in the swing. very hard to do. i like to link monkeys together. i love to toss monkeys. i love monkeys.

"the guys" went on vacation from the bean box into my jello. one guy jumped into the jello and got stuck head first. sorry guy, spoon busy right now. can you see his feet, and legs and pants? i don't eat jello. i play in jello and mommy and lana try to get me to kiss the jello or kiss the guys feet. i don't kiss.

editor's note: Erynn is tasting a select number of foods. We are trying to expand her desire for food by introducing accidental food tasting such as jello on the guys' feet. Erynn's current favorite tastes are cheese puffs, shredded cheese, easy cheese, peanut butter, chocolate, crackers, cream soup and mommy's dinner. (If your gonna share it, you're gonna wear it)

i go swimming every monday. today i blew bubbles under the water and jumped into the water from a sitting position into mommy's arms. i played with my bowl and ball and boat and duck and a fish. it was very nice and very warm water. i fell asleep in the car with my blankie before i got home.

later.

Apr 5 - Emergency Preparedness Tips

Oh, what do you do when the power goes out,

when all the world turns dark ?

erynn > lament over not letting mommy put my pants back on me.

(photo note: flashes work great when there's no light anywhere. tons of red-eye though)

erynn > find a la-light (flashlight).

erynn> find the nearest "123" and start pushing buttons. the power will come back soon enough and no mommy's gonna yell at you when it's scary dark inside. :)

(photo note: power was out for 10 hours. we put on pants and changed shirts for erynn.)

Mar 22 - Spirals at Grandma's House

this is my grandma. she had surgery and then she broke her wrist. she has a very nice ceiling fan. i love to watch it spin and spin and spin and spin . . . . . we visit grandma and grandpa most nights to see if things are going good . . . i make momma draw spirals. they make me feel good, so it think that grandma will feel good too if she can see some spirals . . .

i already made grandpa draw spirals. we like to look at pictures of me together in his little book.

now it's daddy's turn to draw spirals. he's pretty good at it. he should be, he teaches math. he knows all about spirals. (too much about spirals :) . . .

nighty-night.

Mar 2 - Lunch with Erynn

um, halo and welcome to lunch. lunch is a time to practice using a boom (spoon) or a time to practice pouring walla (water). let me show you . . . first, you must grab the walla (sippy cup) and turn it over so the walla (water) comes out. you should try to get the walla (water) into the other walla (glass) so that you can lick (drink) it up. Otherwise you will need a wap (diaper) to wap (wipe) it up. it's best not to make too much of a mess at lunch time or you know what you will be doing for the rest of the day. see my cinderella entry. ;)

second, you must practice your basic boom (spoon) skills. grab the boom (spoon) at the end and boom (whack) it on the tray. it makes a very nice loud sound. i recommend closing your eyes. good job, baby.

now, for something a little more advanced. put your boom (spoon) in the walla (glass) and lift it up. salute. give a little jiggle and spin. did your walla (glass) stay on the boom (spoon) or did it go flying? if it went flying, then quickly look down at your tray and slowly shake your head no-no cause you just did something bad. (maybe everyone will notice how cute you are and you will not get into trouble. i said maybe.)

as a last resort, and only to get out of trouble, dip your boom (spoon) into a little, little bit of food and give a little lick.

four or five specks of broccolli floret tastes pretty good and i guarantee you won't be in trouble no more.

e p.s. baba and amma, i borrowed the green bee on accident. i will return it on saturday when i come to visit. sorry. e

Feb 27 - Green and Purple

green and purple are very good collashs (colors) for drawing buyrolls (spirals). sometimes it's good to have the collashs (colors) close to each other . . .

and sometimes it's better if they are far apart.

Feb 25 - Rosy Red Cheeks

can you tell that i don't feel good? can you tell that something is going on inside of me ? can you tell that only dadeda and my blankie can make me feel better?

my molar teeth are coming in. :(
