Bubbles

These things are amazing, I could watch them for hours! (okay minutes but that is like hours for me)

Smile

Grown ups make all sorts of funny faces to make me smile.  But this time, instead of smiling I just made the same face back...making them smile.  I'm so crafty.

Words

Myron has so many words now - 'up', 'dow' (down), 'tao tow' (towel), in (sign), ouhsigh (outside), milk (sign) , 'wahwah' (water), 'ohhsss' (juice), 'cheese', 'go', ...

But you have to speak 'Myron" to translate some of them...

'ahbahbah' (banana)

'ahbahee' (strawberry)

'a pen' (open)

'bah' (ball), 'bah' (orange), 'bah' (apple), 'bah' (mellon)

'bahbe' (baby), 'ahbe' (Gracie), 'baebe' (blueberry)

He is now repeating random words everyday... his word of they day yesterday was 'cool'

He is also saying some word chains, his favorite is "Wah dee go?" (with his shoulders shrugged and hand up) - translation "Where did it go?"

Hot Summer Days

What do you do on hot summer days?  Color yourself with calk of course!

And after that get's boring, color dada!

And so it begins... potty training

(in bathroom)

Myron: (points to his diaper) pooh

Mommy: Did you pooh or pee?

Myron: pee

Mommy: Where does pee go?

Myron: (waves hand toward toilet) bye, bye, pee

We are not really starting potty training but rather warming Myron to the idea.  Last night he asked to sit on the potty after peeing on the floor, where getting closer. 

Snow suit in July?

Tell me again why I am wearing a snowsuit in July?  We tried it on Myron to see if it sill fit and he loved wearing it... he walked around the house, proud of his cushy overcoat!

Myron Says and Signs Duck!

One... two!

Myron counted for the first time yesterday.  He was playing blocks... I pointed and said one and he said... "two!"..."free!" and then "two", "two", "two"

I think my excitement at him counting made him think the blocks were called 'two'.

Saturday in San Fran

On Saturday we took a day trip to San Francisco.  What a day!

We started with croissants in Sausalito.

Then a lunch and walk near the Presidio.

Then we walked to Peir 39 to see the seals, I was not amused.

But Grace sure seemed happy.

Then I got to try my first Mini-donut. 

I didn't like it but mommy did!

It was a long day but a good day. Mommy's favorite parts were watching the fog lift on the bay from Sausalito and playing with me while we waited.  I liked that part too!

Nana Dot in CA

The best part of Mommy's birthday... Nana Dot came to visit. 

We went for walks, played at the park, napped and did a lot of swimming!

The water was cold!

  But I found the 'warm' pool.

Mommy's 33rd Birthday!

Friday July 10th was Mommy's birthday.  We had such a fun day! 

We sang... ahhh pee bahh daaa tahh dahh (Happy Birthday to you).

And we walked to a new restaurant.  My favorite parts were the bikes and bench out front and the yummy bread. 

Then we had cake!  I helped mommy with her piece.

4th of July

We visited MN for the 4th of July.  I did so many fun things. Visit with G & G Miller, Auntie Kim and Cousin Karen....

Took a ride on Papa's chair...

Daddy built some steps and I helped!

My buddy Ivan spent the night, we played in the dirt and then in the tub! 

Then we went up to the cabin.  I made sure the deck had enough sand...

And mommy made sure I didn't get sun burnt.

When I wasn't sleeping or eating I was in the lake!  This is the last picture of me before the accident!  I stepped in a lake hole and cut my foot.  That was the end of my swimmin.

Mommy and Daddy had to dig out a piece of the stick, I was not happy.

After that I thought it might be easier to walk with Grandpa's canes but in the end they were not needed, they were just more fun!

On the way home, I slept the whole flight but came down with nasty fever.  I was sick for quite a while but I am feeling much better now!
