Ava's Birthday in Fort Worth

Mommy and I went back to Fort Worth for Ava's 3rd birthday party. I had such a good time with her. She was so sweet to me and I think she would like to have ME as her brother. :) She shared her sucker, mac n cheese, and balloon with me. She even "read" me a book. Bradie, on the other hand, did not want much to do with me. The only thing he shared was his cold. I got to see Zoe again and we laughed together in the car. I loved Grandude, Nonny, and Gram E's kisses, but I was not sure of Pa because of his beard.
I am having a harder time transitioning when we go visit. The first night I had a hard time going down and cried a lot during the night. One night when I woke up coughing and crying, I got to sleep in Nonny and Grandude's bed, so that was pretty cool.
Mommy got to go shopping and got to go through Bradie's outgrown clothes. I can't wait to wear them, they are really cute clothes!

Lukie want a Cracker...

Mommy has been showing me a book of first words. There is a picture of a cracker and I started to repeat it. Not only do I repeat the word from the book, but I ask for crackers often. I am a little confused and think cookies are crackers too. You can't get crackers or cookies past me. Last night, Daddy was putting up the animal crackers and walked by me to get to the pantry. I saw them and kept saying "crac ker"; so I got one before dinner. He, he, he.

-Love to PLAY. I play with my basketball hoop and my train the most. I push my train as fast as I can and run into things and say "cra" (for crash). I like to dump my building bloccks all over the floor. I help mommy clean with the swiffer. I am a busy, busy boy, but I will settle down to read. I have also discovered a love for baby einstein dvd, so mommy can now cook dinner without me under her feet.
