Shout out to Tommy and Kim

Check out the slide show of me and Pooh and Tigger and Eeyore. They were gifts from Tommy. Aren't they cool? I love to wrestle with them.

Hi to Kim (Tommy's sister) she sent me awesome DEA shirts. And she always tells me -- Say No to Drugs!

X and Pooh (and Tigger and Eeyore)

Have you ever wondered?




Have you ever wondered what happens after a 20-month old has lunch with his mom and her friend, gets a haircut, and plays outside all in one day and without taking a nap?




Here's what happens. You fall asleep at the dinner table. Hey -- at least they didn't draw on my face or shave my eyebrows!


My First Haircut

Oh No You Did-n't!

So let me tell you what happened yesterday. My mom took me to the mall to play in the playland. First we ate. My mom had Subway. I had McDonald's -- french fries and milk. When it comes to french fries, I like to "dut em" (dump them) out on the table and pick out the "bidt" (big) ones.

After we ate, we went to the playland. There was a girl about 5 running around, and she ran right into me and then looked at me like I was the one who caused the collision. I wasn't having it so I looked at her, pointed my finger at her and told her "No!" Every time I saw her at the play land I pointed at her and told her "No!" She eventually stopped coming near me. I think I got my point across.

I think my mom was proud that I stood up for myself.

I'm going to have a New Friend!

How exciting is this? Are you ready for it? Are you sitting down? You better be sitting down!

One of my favorite people of all time -- Ryan -- is going to have a baby! She and Stuart have been trying really hard. They are like 15 weeks pregnant. Yea! Im so excited; I can't wait to meet the baby.

My mom says they are not going to find out if it is a boy or a girl, so I guess I have to wait and see if I'm going to have a girlfriend (or as Rhonda says -- a prom date. Hi Rhonda!) or another buddy. Either way, it is going to be awesome!

Hair and Words

So, last Saturday I got my first haircut. I got to sit in a race car for it. I had 4 adults there to watch -- Papa, GG, Mama and Osh. Can you believe it -- 4 adults to watch moi get his hair cut! She cut off a lot of hair. My curls just went flying all over the place. Even with short hair, I look good!

I am saying lots of words now. I mean it is truly amazing people -- TRULY! Here's a list of some of the words I say and the stories behind them:

"Oh nu not!" When I'm really doing something I shouldn't, my mom tells me "absolutely not," and this is how I say it.

"Im a minute." My mom usually gives me a warning before we are going to stop doing one thing and start doing another, like when it is going to be time to go inside. She says "Xavier -- in 10 minutes we are going inside." Now when she asks me to do something I say "im a minute." It gets her good!

"Running!" It just means that me or someone is running.

"Money" Yep just what you think it is.

"Pocket" This is where I put my money.

"Gabbage" This is where you put trash.

"Yeah" Probably my newest and favorite word at the moment

"Bidt!" This means big.

"Dart" This means dark.

"Outtide" This is where I always want to go -- outside.

"Huzzah" This means hurray, and I learned it at Papa's base ball game

As you can see, I am very smart and getting smarter all the time.

Talk to you later,

The Toledo Zoo

Hi everyone. I need to catch you on the "goings on" in my life. Last weekend, as in August 15, we went to the Toledo Zoo. It was awesome! I saw tigers, penguins, eagles and polar bears. I also petted a guinea pig and a goat. That was a lot of fun. Papa and GG took me on a carousel, and we all went to a butterfly house -- it was hot in there! The polar bears were really funny; they were jumping all over the place. I wil post some pictures as soon as my mom gets her act together.

The Week of Abu

If you are one of my many loyal fans, you know that Abu (Uncle Butch) was in town this week. We had a great time! We played at the park, and we played Boomba. We also went to see the Narr's where I rode a scooter and shot a water gun. It was awesome! Abu taught me how to say "Ready...Go!" He also taught me how to run the bases after I hit the ball.

My mom took half a vacation day on Friday and came to Papa's house early. She said she had to survey the damage to figure out how long it was going to take to undo. NO idea what that means! On Friday night, me, Papa, Abu, Osh (Uncle Josh) and Momma went to the Tiger's game. The Tiger's did not win, but we had fun. Abu let me stand in the aisle and dance, dance, dance. I got a lot of attention, which I love. We stayed to watch the fireworks ("Booms!").

On Saturday, we went out to breakfast. Then we went to a Pet Pageant in downtown Rochester. I liked the dogs dressed up as Michigan fans the best. SOme dog dressed like a Spartan won third place...seriously? I didn't even get how that costume was cute or anything. On Saturday night, we were going to go to Dancing in the Streets in Rochester, but it was cold and rainy. Instead, me, GG and Momma went to Nordstrom's so they could get my feet measured. In case, you are wondering, my right foot is bigger than my left foot. But, that's totally normal. Since we had lost power at home, we stayed at the mall until it closed. I rode the Up and Downs (escalators, people) with my mom for a long time. I didn't want to go to bed that night, but GG told me a story until I fell asleep.

On Sunday, I went to church. I was really good. I kept saying "Huzzah!" During the Lord's Prayer, I kept shouting "Amen!" but no one seemed to mind. Then we went to P.F. Chang's for lunch. I had a protein bar and some goldfish crackers. Finally, my mom and I headed north to Midland.

It was a busy week, but a lot of fun!

I know I owe you all pictures...my mom can't find the camera.

Sorry to have kept you waiting

You all are my adoring fans, and you are so good to me. I apologize that I haven't blogged in a while, but it has been crazy on my end.

Did I tell you that I went to a Loons game with Michelle, Scott, Emma -- and Ryan, my GF? It was a lot of fun. I ate some pretzels and some M&Ms. We also went to a carnival at daycare that day. They had a skee-ball game that I liked a lot. I don't actually know what skee-ball is, but that's what my Mom called it. I just know that it had balls I could throw!

Not last weekend, but two weekends ago, we had quite a scare. On Saturday, I was home with Papa and GG. GG heard a thump, and then she heard me saying "Papa." My Papa had a seizure and fell out of bed. My GG called 911 and everything. It was really scary, but I went to Mrs. Martin and her granddaughter Maddy took really good care of me. We spent most of Saturday and Sunday at the hospital with Papa. I was really good and charmed everyone (no surprise there!). He came home that Sunday, which is good. Now he just has lots and lots of tests. Also, no driving for at least 6 months. Apparently that's a real bummer. I don't see what the big deal is -- I haven't driven in over 20 months. Anyway, I don't care as long as he is ok. I can drive him whereever he needs to go -- just don't tell my Mom!

I guess that's it for now. This past weekend was exciting, but I will blog about that later. Also, Abu is in town this week so you know it's going to be wild and crazy!

Love ya,
