I must apologize for my lack of blogging and give you a more concise version of whats been going on with me in the past month of May.
It was an eventful month, to say the least.
The very first weekend my old crony, Samuel, came to visit and introduce me to the miniature version of himself, Levi, who was only 2 months old at the time. He's a super cute kid, thats for sure, but nowhere near as exciting as Samuel who taught me some tools and tricks to mastering these more advanced toys that have begun to fill my toy box.
We had a blast. Although it seems like Samuel may have hit the sippy cup a little hard in this photo. It also looks as though Mom may have overdone it on feeding me yellow/orange foods at that time, if you'll notice the yellow hue of my face.
The next day was a birthday celebration for Aunt Wonderful, who is MUCH older than my Mom, who is as young as a spring chicken-whatever that means. I got to meet Aunt Libby for the first time in my coherent life, she's one cool cat and seemed to really like me too.
Aunt W allowed me to do some engine work on her Tonka truck, while we discussed what she intended to do with the rest of her life.
I was also able to make an attempt to consume the shiny, silver strand of metal on Aunt Nessa's neck. NOTE: Daddy is sniffing my head from afar in this picture.
The next morning, Mom and I attended church w/Renee & Kirsten. Not sure why they give it a title such as "church," when it was essentially another playdate for me & Kirsten. No complaining here, she is so pretty and it was nice to see her again. Her Grandma took care of us and was so nice to us. The other babies weren't as well-behaved as us, but what would you expect? We are just great kids.
Later that day, we attended yet another celebration of Aunt W's bday at a restaurant. The weirdest thing is that its also my Grandma's birthday too (who is supposedly Aunt W's Mom, but the restaurant singers said Grandma was only 21 and I thought you had to be older than the baby to have a baby, and I thought Aunt W was 31. I am baffled. Maybe I just don't understand math yet)
These birthday's sure seem special, can you imagine being alive for 21 years? Thats such a long time, I'm having trouble just comprehending the incredible length of my impending 1st year of life, it feels like forever. Being 21 like Grandma must feel like infinity.The next weekend was a little bit more tame, but not really, considering we went grocery shopping which really stresses Mom out for some reason. It doesn't make sense to me, because its always so fun and relaxing....getting pushed leisurely around aisles of brightly colored packages, getting to touch them all, waving to passersby, and making my cutest puppy dog face and ending up with a toy, etc. I couldn't really ask for a better time.
Once home, Mom puts the groceries away while jabbering about "needing the family to eat healthy...blah blah blah...everything's too expensive...blah blah...gas prices being outrageous....blah blah blah." This was an opportune time for me to steal her cell phone and sit amongst our newfound goodies. Maybe my Mom is one of those "the sippy cup is half-empty," people and needs to realize the joys of Wally World like I do.
Later that day, baby Ryeland came over but I am still not permitted to grab his eyeballs. Someday, when nobody is looking...I'm going to get those things! Look how big they are, they are meant to be grabbed (and possibly eaten)!
It all became too exhausting and I found myself tuckered out. In my unconcious state I could hear Mom and Dad reminiscing over their old high school days and how "falling asleep at your desk is some of the best sleep ever." Good to know! Maybe I'll partake in some of this desk sleeping myself when I grow up.

The next weekend was my first trip to the zoo....but I'll tell you more about that later!
Another weekend I got to go to the Little Gym with Mommy and Bree and her Mommy. Who knew that physical education programs existed for the infant/toddler population? It was quite enjoyable. As you can see, Bree and I were masters of the forward somersault.
This place had so many cool props and gadgets, I could have crawled around all day long-it was like a museum of padded obstacles and gym equipment.
Our teacher had a machine that blew out clear, sphere-shaped, floating objects that completely mesmerized us. I immediately crawled away from Mommy to investigate and Bree walked over too, trying to spear the spheres with her hands. Fortunately, all of us children were able to irradicate most of the objects and some disappeared into the floor. Who knows what might have happened had we let these roam freely?
I didn't want to leave and I'm still dealing with my resentment towards Mommy for forcing me to. Once I'm vertical, I will not make it so easy for her to just remove me from enjoyable situations.
This concludes my lengthy month of May recap, but I'll post again soon to tell you about my zoo adventure and my trip up North to meet my seriously Great-Grandparents.
