Buckingham Fountain

This is Buckingham Fountain in downtown Chicago. It is without question the biggest fountain I have ever seen. I asked daddy whether we could go swimming in the fountain...he said no.

A trip to Superdawg!

Today was a big day! Our tour of famous Chicago hot dog joints continued with the world famous Superdawg. We just happened to drive by and I insisted that we eat here. Just look at those cool hot dogs on the roof. Daddy and I had a superdawg and mommy had a superburger. Of course, I did not put a drop of ketchup on my hot dog. In Chicago, ketchup on a hot dog is a major problem. Kitson, did not have a hot dog. Maybe next time.

An afternoon feeding the ducks

Today we took a trip out to Geneva to walk in the park and feed the ducks. We found a beautiful spot by the river and boy did the ducks and geese come calling.

Pajama Bow Time!

This is me in my white pajama bow!

Here I am in my pink pajama bow. As you can see it's an entirely different look.
I believe in the power of cuteness.

I feel a sneeze coming on....ahhhhhh

Ah Chooooooooo!

Me and a few baby bows.

Mommy found a new store that sells baby bows. She came back with a BIG bag of them. Here is a sample of a few.

Cranky

This is what I look like when I'm not happy. I'm usually a really happy baby, but like everyone, I have my moments. I try to keep them short.

Tickle Time

Daddy likes to make me laugh. He's silly.

Sword fighting with Jake

Jake and I had an epic sword fight today. He's got me in both height and weight, but I am young and tenacious.

The best way to build a tower

Some might say that it is dangerous to build a tower in your underwear. I say those people have no sense of adventure.

Kitson: "So Grandpa, you're telling me that I've got to move the golf ball back in my stance when I am hitting off uneven ground. What about hitting a fairway wood out of the ruff?"

A trip to see Grandma and Grandpa

Last weekend we took a trip up to Wisconsin to see our grandpa and grandmas. Lots and lots of fun. Grandma and I got to make ice cream cone cupcakes. Yes, I actually helped make them. It was a bit messy, but well worth it. That's not something that happens to a guy every day.

Grandpa was being silly and trying to tickle me.

The Fish and Kit!

Contest for most spikey hair!

Today, daddy and I engaged in a who has the most spikey hair contest.

It was a close call, but I think daddy wins.

Gone Fishing

I caught my first fish last weekend. Actually I caught 6 of them. Six beautiful trout up at the trout farm. I had the best time digging in the dirt bucket for worms. I found the best worms and the fish absolutely loved them.

Daddy was in charge of grabbing the fish out of the water. He was pretty good, except for one time the fish slipped and he almost hit grandpa in the head with it.
I'm pulling in a big one here. I believe my Green Bay Packer hat gave me good luck.
What a beautiful fish.

Some funny faces for you!

Hi there. I have officially discovered my tongue and love making funny faces. Here are some of my best!

Hanging with Rachel

Summer time is the best. I get to hang out with my pall Rachel all the time. Here we are enjoying a little snack in our cool hats and tie dye shirts. Nothing better than a snack with a friend.

Our mommies thought we were so darn cute they forced us to take a million pictures. By this point we were both tired of smiling.

Scary faces around the sandbox!

Rachael and I were practicing our scary faces today.

Grrrrrr!!!

Busy day

As you can see, I have fallen asleep in my chair. It was a busy day and just couldn't find a moment for a nap. I actually fell asleep while mommy was making dinner and didn't wake up until the morning. Mommy and daddy tried to get me up for dinner, but I was having none of it.

Kitson was tired too.

Daddy, a bubber, and some bubbles!

A fun afternoon chasing bubbles. Daddy is a master bubble maker.

Chasing bubbles is a lot of fun. But you do need to watch out for your bubble chasing partner.
