The octopus dance

This morning Fisher and I were watching TV when suddenly this program doing something called the octopus dance came on. I stopped everything to watch and learn. Here is a video of me practicing.

My best swimming yet!

My swimming lessons are going very well. I am really working on stretching my arms out in front of me when I swim. It's particularly important that you are a good swimmer when your name is Fisher.

What a busy morning

Now that I am almost 15months old, I am in that transition stage between needing 2 or just 1 nap a day. Today I decided that I was not going to take a morning nap. But then at lunch time I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open. I finished my black beans and dozed off.

Tapping you on the head with my shoe

Fisher sure has a lot of patience. This morning I decided to see what would happen if I whacked him on the head with my shoe. He was a pretty good sport about the whole thing, even when I came back to whack him a second time.

Now That's a Polar Bear!

How about that for a close encounter with a polar bear?! Daddy and I went took the train to the zoo on Wednesday to check out the new bear exhibit. This polar bear would walk right up to the window and stand up and wave to all the people. You can see his big palm prints all over the glass. Pretty exciting.

Waking up from a nap.

Today I had an excellent nap. So good that when daddy came in to get me up, I kept hiding in the corner of my crib. I was also trying on my new summer hat. It make me feel like I am at the Kentucky derb.

Another jump off the diving board

Today at swim lessons, we went off the regular diving board. Lots of fun and I am really improving my swimming.

Wagon Ride

Check out our super cool new wagon. Kitson and I went for a long ride this afternoon. We both kept smiling the whole time.

Do you want to pet my monkey?

This is my little monkey. He's super fun and cute. I like to take him with when mommy and I go to the grocery store. I've even asked a few people at the store if they wanted to pet my monkey. For some reason, mommy seems a little uncomfortable when I ask people that.

Wash Cloth Game

I don't really enjoy getting my hands and face washed after a meal. In fact, I'm quite cranky about it. Daddy came up with this game to make the experience more fun.

My first jump off the HIGH DIVE!!

Yes, that's right! I jumped off the high dive. I started off with a quick jump off the low diving board. Piece of cake.

The high dive, was a whole different animal. Once I got up to the top I had second thoughts. I got about half way down the board and thought I better sit down and think more about this decision. But then one of the swim coaches helped me stand up and I was ready to go. Once I landed everyone at the pool clapped. Most people couldn't believe that a 4 year old would be brave enough to jump off the high dive. They don't know me.

Here I am swimming to my teacher. I'm getting much better each day.

Two Peas in a Pod

This morning Kitson and I tried to share my blue chair. I was sitting in it, but got up to pick up my penguin. Kitson shot right into my seat, even though she has her own chair. We decided to share. It worked ok, but Kitson was a little cranky about it.

Fisher tells me that when he was my age he loved to play in the cupboard. So I gave it a try. Holly Cow, is it fun! I could spend hours in there. Fisher tells me that I should bang a bunch of pots and pans together, but I prefer to just sit and play with the containers.

My first purse

Grandma got me a my first purse on her last visit. I knew exactly what to do with it.

This is a cutting edge way to wear your purse. All the big models in Paris are doing it.

Who's a good girl???

Guess who is the "Wizard" in the Wizard of Oz?

Me! It was a great opportunity. I really made the most of my performance.

At the end of the show our teacher gave us diplomas for graduating from pre-school.

I'm doing a little singing in this video. If you listen real hard you can hear me.

Mommy made me an awesome costume. The only problem was that the strap on my had broke during the performance. As you can see, I used that as an opportunity to have some fun with my hat.

I lost my first tooth!

I lost my first tooth a few nights back. Daddy was brushing my teeth and I could tell it was getting really loose. But it wasn't until daddy and I were reading in bed that it fell out. The Tooth Fairy came that night and brought me a dollar and a little submarine. What a day!!

Here is a short video of me talking about my tooth!

I got inked!

Yesterday was a GREAT day! Daddy, Kitson, and I went to a festival at daddy's college. They had lots of food, music, and most importantly tattoos! I decided to go with a Spider Man tattoo. I was so excited I had to send Uncle Ben a picture right away.

This was the nice lady who game me my spray tattoo. She was very nice. She kept having to tell me to look forward. I preferred to look right at her...more chance for us to chat!

My tattoo didn't hurt one bit. I don't know what Uncle Ben is complaining about.

Arrgh! I'm a tough guy! Don't mess with me!

We Are Best Buddies

Walking Outside to the Sandbox

As you know, Fisher spends almost all of his time outside playing in the sandbox. Well, today I decided to go for a stroll and play with the kids in the sandbox. Daddy said I could as long as I didn't eat any sand. I only ate a little.

I'm a climber

I have gained quite a bit of confidence lately. I am climbing all over the place. Here is a video of me siting on top of a toy basket. I had to climb on top of my pink chair and from there shimmy on top of the basket. It's something to see. Don't worry I'll be careful.
