I thought I'd catch up on some reading today. Dad sent home some really good books! I'm going to read them ALL for you Dad!

This one in particular just isn't getting me too excited. I'll just skim the pages and move on to the next book.
Murphy doesn't like to play with me too much. If I sneak up really slow though, I can wrap my arms around him and he can't get away!
I give really good hugs. I'm workin on it, but Murphy doesn't know yet how to hug me back.

We went to a BBQ and I got to play in a sandbox and run around in the grass with some other kids.
See how the girls are already flocking to me Dad? Must be that haircut you were talkin about...
I had a lot of fun in the sandbox. I don't know how you do it over there though Dad, because I had sand in my pants and even in my diaper!!
See me making friends? Here I am sitting with my new friend Hayden. He's only 4mths older than me but he was really good with a camera. Next time when Mom isn't looking, I'm going to snatch hers and practice on my own.
They wanted photos of all of us together, but I didn't want to stand there all alone. I made Mom hold me so they could take a picture of me with my new friends Hayden & Kyler.

July 4th BBQ

Well, it wasn't on the 4th, but we celebrated anyway! We went to Melanie & Eric's house for a BBQ. I got to do all kinds of fun things! There were puppies there so I had a good time teasing them with their toys.


Look at all these cool tractors and farm toys they had for me to play with! Mrs. Hackert said they used to be her son's when he was little.
Mr. Hackert picked me up and took me for a ride on this cool golf cart. He even let me drive it. Sure I may not be able to reach the pedals yet, but I could touch the wheel.

It was a good party. I don't have too many parties to compare it to, but I'd rank it one of my favorites. It wasn't quite as cool as my birthday party (no presents!), but I still caused all kinds of trouble. I got sleepy after a bit and Mom let me take a bath in their bathtub. Then it was off to bed for me. I didn't even hear the fireworks. Mom said they were really loud...one person even let off a stick of dynamite. Whoa. Didn't hear any of it. Mom said next year I can stay up and watch the fireworks with Dad. :)
