Happy Birthday to Grandma Gertrude!

Yesterday, Sunday, July 20, I went to Grandma Gertrude's 80th birthday party. Who is Grandma Gertrude? She is Granny Nanny's mommie. Got it? Granny Nanny is my close friend and neighbor at Papa and GG's. We had a good time. I saw my friend Noah at the party, and I also saw some boats!

On Saturday, Momma, GG and Papa took me to a splash park. It was a lot of fun. Then we went to Culver's. I had chicken, hots, chocolate milk and some custard. It was yummy. On Saturday night my momma took me to see our friend Mike play football. At the end of the first half, Mike's team was losing 46 to nothing -- not good. We left at the end of the first half because I had to go to bed.

This week is going to be awesome! We are having a carnival at daycare on Thursday. I can't wait! It's going to be so much fun. And -- my girlfriend Ryan will be in town, and we are going to a Loons' baseball game with her. That will be even more fun than the carnival.

Want to hear something funny? Yesterday, my mom and I were at home, and she was trying to put groceries away. She wanted me to go play so she said "Go play with your balls, Xavier!" I cracked up!

Have a good week.

The Poopie Breakthrough

That's right people, I said Poopie Breakthrough. Hey -- when you're 19 months old, it's a big deal!

When my mom picked me up from daycare yesterday, she noticed I was kind of crying. She asked me why, and I said "Poopie" and pointed to my booty. I was having a difficult time going to the bathroom so I kept saying (whining) "Poopie" and pointing to my booty.

This may not seem like a big deal, but it is and for the following reasons: (1) It shows that I'm listending to my mom when she asks me if I'm poopie; (2) It shows that I've learned another word; (3) It shows that I know when I have to go poopie; (4) It shows that I can tell my mom that I have to go poopie; and (5) It shows that I know from where the poopie comes.

See -- I told you this was a big deal! Yea for me!

Fourth of July

Hi everyone! I had a really great 4th of July weekend. Hope you did too!

On Thursday, we were supposed to go to the beach with Kristen, Evan and Megan (3/4 of the McKnights), but the weather was not cooperating. Instead, we went to the McKnights' house. Megan and I ate a lot of fake popcorn - we love that stuff! Then we went in the basement and played while my mom, Kristen and Evan played Wii. My mom hit Evan in the head about 3 times!

On Thursday night, we went to the our friends in Sylvan Lake to watch fireworks. When we got there, it was still light out, so I went to the beach and played in the water and in the sand. It was a lot of fun. I lost my sunglasses while we were there, but that's ok. I have another pair. I also played on the swings. My mom pushed me, and I said "Weee!" And, Uncle Osh showed up, and we played catch. Finally, it got dark, and the fireworks started. It was really loud. I liked to watch them, but I didn't like the noise. Every time there was a break, I'd say to my mom "All done?" I did not like the noise in the grand finale, but overall it was a good time. I didn't even get home until almost midnight.

When I finally got up the next day, it was 10:30. We went to the McKinnons for a BBQ. I was having a really good time running around the house. In fact, we probably would have stayed longer, but someone who shall remain nameless filled every last diaper his mom brought for him. Friday was a lot of fun. In fact, it was so much fun I did not want to go to sleep.

On Saturday, I went to Trevor's all star t-ball game with Papa and GG. It as a lot of fun. You should see those guys hit the ball. It was awesome! One day, I will hit theball like that, I just know it. On Saturday afternoon I went swimming at Club de Martine, aka Mrs. Martin's pool. I had a good time jumping in.

Then I went up to Granny Nanny's house. I went into her pool too. Uncle Osh was there, and he played with me in the pool. I had a spectacular time at Granny Nanny's. My friend Noah was there, and we played catch. We also played with bubbles, which is a lot of fun in case you didn't know. I posted a video of me and the bubbles. I was there until late. In fact, I was so tired that I feel asleep in the car in the driveway while my mom and Granny Nanny talked.

On Sunday, I went to church with Papa, Momma and Uncle Osh. When I looked up and saw the organist I yelled out "Abu" (Uncle Butch) because he had dark hair like Abu. I made it through the entire service without going to the nursery. I went up to communion with my mom so I could get my blessing. My diaper was full -- you think I have to ask for forgiveness for that? Just wondering. After church we went to Rainforest Cafe. I ate with gorillas and elephants. It was fun, except for the thunderstorms in there. That was kinda loud.

OK, there you have. A synopsis of my weekend. Synopsis is a very grown up word, isn't it.

Later!

Really Old Pictures

My mom is posting two slides shows --

One is pictures from when I turned one. I know they are old, but my mom thought you might want to see them anyway.

The other one is more pictures from when we were in Cancun. No matter how many times I look at them, I think "Boy, did we have fun. We partied like rock stars!"

My weekend has been very busy, but you will have to wait on Monday to hear more...

What a weekend!

Hello! This weekend was kind of crazy so I needed an extra day before I could talk about it.

On Friday, my momma, Papa, GG and I went to the Loons game in Midland. The Loons are a minor league baseball team. The game was great at first. I saw my friend Emma, and I had some french fries --or as I like to call them "Hots." But then it started to rain. We waited a while, but the sky was pretty scary so we left in the bottom of the 5th inning.

We had a lot planned for Saturday. I was going to go to Emma's house for a little bit, and then my mom and I were going to go to the pool at Delta College. Well, that is not even CLOSE to what happened. Ok, maybe a little close to what happened. When my mom woke up on Saturday, her face was all swollen and her right eye was almost closed because she had an allergic reaction to something. She fed me and dressed me (what a good mom), and then she dropped me off at Emma's and went to see a doctor. I had a blast at Emma's. She shared her toys with me, and we went for a stroller ride. Later, my mom and my GG picked me up from Emma's. I wasn't expecting that. We drove down to Papa and GG's house. I had fun playing Boomba (baseball, duh) down there.

On Sunday, I went to an art show with Papa and GG, and then my Papa drove me and mom back to Midland. Whew! What a weekend.

On Monday (as in yesterday), we had another swimming class. I kicked and paddled this time! I still don't get blowing bubbles, but I'm working on it. My favorite part is when I get to jump in the water. I love it!

This coming weekend we have lots of stuff planned. I have a packed social calendar, which is fine by me! I will keep you updated.

In the meantime, let me just say "Love you, love your show."
