My Trip to Florida

We went to Florida in March and had a so fun time! Our flight there was bumpy and we had to circle a bunch (turns out there was a tornado going by on the ground!), but after that we had perfect weather.

Perfect for going to the playground!

Perfect weather for going to the pool!

Perfect weather for the Zoo!

Perfect weather for the beach!

Also, I played guitar and sang. It was also good weather for that.

I was a little worn out by the end of the week.

I had a very fun time. Perhaps next year I will actually go in the ocean! Or not, no biggie.

Pictures by Grandpa! (Mostly.)

Shorn!

I just had my very first haircut ever! My friend Eddy got a haircut the other day. This made a big impression on me, and I came home and asked Mommy and Daddy if I could have one, too. M&D thought that was a good idea, since I was having trouble seeing through my curls (see below).
I was enthusiastic until faced with the prospect of actually getting my hair cut. There was much crying and fit-throwing, and this was before I even got in the car. Daddy was brave and sat in the chair first to show me how it's done. I was not impressed. Then Mommy turned on the portable DVD player and I was rendered defenseless (i.e. zombified) by Toy Story 2 . Woody helped me watch it. I almost didn't notice when Miss Laura started cutting my hair.
Eventually, I even acquiesced to a drape.
Afterward, I noted (with wonder) that it didn't hurt at all!

Check out the final result:
Mommy and Daddy and I like it very much!

My bracket

I have participated in my very first March Madness! Mommy and Daddy helped me fill out my bracket. They suspect that my choices are heavily influenced by States I Have Heard Of, Words That Are Fun To Say, and My Favorite Sesame Street Segment (Murray Has A Little Lamb). So... Cornell, anybody?

Catching up

Mommy's been on the wards for 8 weeks (boo!), so we're all a little behind. But now we'll catch up!

Mommy has never knit a sweater before, but you'd never know from how good this one looks! Mommy presented it to me, along with a matching hat, and I said, "I don't like it!" Here I am wearing it because Mommy bribed me with cookies and TV. I still won't wear the hat, though in December I finally decided I'd wear the pumpkin hat mommy made me for Halloween. I have a very strong fashion sense and mostly wear shirts with baseballs or basketballs on them. And red, I like red.

This is my baby doll. His name is Baby Liev, or sometimes Alex or Eddy, depending on which of my two best friends is on my mind. I can feed him water in his baby bottle and then he can pee it out on his potty! This is fun, and water-pee usually goes all over the floor. I myself have a huge aversion to the potty. I throw a tantrum if anyone mentions it. This will be awkward when I go off to college and am still wearing diapers.

Happy belated Valentine's Day! I got a tattoo from one of my friends at school. It says "Friends Forever." Woo! I look so hard core.


Next post: catching up on videos!

Busy Weekend

Friday was Mommy's departmental bowling party. I did an awesome job of bowling.



















Actually, it's only 6 pounds, upside-down. But I'm still sooo strong!

Check out my spare!


Then, on Saturday, I went ice skating for the first time! On a real pond! At the end of the season. On ice that could really have used a Zamboni. But I did it!

And Sunday we did boring stuff like errands. I have no pictures of those.
