Cousins!

I just got back from a quick trip to Iowa to see my Mama's mom. AND I got to see "cousins." They are lots of fun. Even Max likes me now that I'm older. I was having so much fun that I told Mama to "go away." That's me with Lauren, Matthew and Rachel.

P.S.: I did bring back one not-fun souvenir: pink eye! Dada has it, too.

Ties

Sometimes, mostly because Dada has one on, I wear a tie. It was my great-grandpa Eddie's. As soon as the Montana Legislature goes home, Dada can stop wearing one. He's looking forward to that.

Another chef in the kitchen

I'm getting a little bit of experience in the kitchen. Usually I use my dull knife to cut whatever Dada or Mom are chopping, tasting as I go -- parsley, potatoes, even onions! Sometimes I'll add other ingredients. Yeah, I get some of it on the floor or on my clothes or on Ole, but it's fun.

Pee potty

I am doing a pretty good job of peeing on the both my little potty and the "big potty." I have yet to drop the bomb in either, though. I usually get a high-five from Mom or Dad after I go. I especially like to flush toilet paper down.

I like beer

I don't get very big tastes, but I do appreciate a fine brew. And Dada has taught me to say "Ahhhhh!" after each sip.

Skiing

Since I'm already 21 months old, I decided to try downhill skiing. It was snowing pretty hard at Big Sky, but Dad, Mom and Mom's friend Staci helped me make a couple of runs. Did I like it? The first thing I said when I woke up the next day was: "I went skiing!"

LIfe in Little Sky Country

I'm getting into a sorta routine living at "George's House." Mom and I take care of my buddy Leo a coupla days per week, we hit story hour at the library and we play, play, play at Little Sky Country (Xploration Works). If I whine enough, I get to ride the carousel.

What else is new...I'm going to the dentist next week. I love to spin in circles until I am dizzy. I can say my "abc's." I love the movie "Charlotte's Web" and I love soaking in hot springs. We're going to one this weekend!
