A day playing in the backyard

Octopus macaroni dinner

I thought this was so cool, I had daddy take a picture of me with my octopus hot dog-macaroni dinner.

Did I mention I was from South America?

One afternoon while we were in Florida, mommy, grandma, Kitson and I decided to take the trolley downtown for some ice cream. I got my favorite flavor, superhero ice cream. On the trolley ride home I was feeling good and decided to entertain my fellow trolley riders with a story. I turned to a women sitting near us and told her that I was from South America. She was quite impressed. I also told her I spoke Spanish and proceeded to say a few words in Spanish. Given that my Spanish vocabulary is a little limited I had to improvise a little. Everything I said sounded Spanish, but wouldn't technically qualify as Spanish. Grandma thought it was hilarious and everyone seemed rather entertained. A good time was had by all.

More swimming.

My goodness, did we have fun in the pool. Fisher and I absolutely loved it. Here I am cruising around in my floating crab.

You should have seen how good of a swimmer Fisher is becoming. With those two noodles he was swimming all over the pool.

Look at us go!

Grandpa and Fisher spent a lot of time practicing holding their breath under water. Fisher got so good he could even wave to you under water.

This is my special life preserver. It helps me swim all over the place. I've got lots of energy!

On the beach!

We all had a great time at the beach. Kiston went for so many walks with mommy and daddy on the beach.

I spent all of my time building in the sand. Here you can see two sand chairs that daddy and I constructed. They were super comfortable.

Here I am trying to keep Kitson company, and more importantly, making sure she doesn't eat any sand.

Look at this great castle I built.

Building a castle is hard work. You need to have a good design and then lots and lots of shoveling.

This was an excellent shovel.

Today's pre-lunch conversation.

Mom: Did you wash you hands?

Fisher: Yes.

Mom: Did you use soap?

Fisher: Yes.

Mom: Are you telling the truth?

Fisher: No.

Videos from Florida

Hello everyone! Sorry for our absence recently. Daddy somehow lost the usb connector from our camera. Silly daddy. He also managed to lose both of our phone chargers. We had a great time in Florida. Maybe the best part was all the swimming we did. I also had a lot of fun eating the sand at the beach.

As you can see, just like my brother, I am a fish in the water.

Guess who can now climb the stairs?

That's right, I have now figured out how to get up the stairs. I'm like a little rocket. I still can't get down them safely, but I'm working on that.

School Program--Spaceships!

Yesterday was our big Spaceship Program at school. We all dressed up as different types of stars and spaceships. This picture wasn't my proudest moment. The camera caught me in a double pick. How was I to know that it's bad form to pick your nose on stage???

Here I am walking up to my chair on stage. If you look closely you will see that I was using the bottom of my flag as a gun.

Here we are signing "head, shoulders, knees, and toes." It's a classic.

Kitson really enjoyed the show as well.

My first steps...on a buggy cart

Today was a big day. I tried my first bit of chicken and I took a few steps behind my little buggy cart. Big day indeed.

Me in my cute sweater.

One of my new favorite activities is to play in my cabinet. There are all sorts of goodies to play with. My packer plate is one of my favorites.

What are you looking at? I'm not getting into trouble.

Look how good I am standing. I'll be walking in no time.

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

I can feed myself...but it's messy!

I now really enjoy feeding myself. In fact, today I didn't want anyone else to feed me. It means that the actual amount of food I consume goes way down. Mommy is worried that I'm not eating enough. But don't worry about me, I'll be just fine.

Yogurt and Squash...so yummy together.

Sometimes when I eat, I get food in my hair. I end up taking a lot of baths.

Still only two teeth, but hopefully more on the way.

Which tooth do you think is coming in next?

Fisher Quote of the Day

Daddy: Fisher, did you toot?

Fisher: No! Whoever it is, it's somebody who loves to toot. And I don't love to toot.

Bizz Bop

One of my new favorite shows is the Electric Company. They've got a couple of guys on the show who are excellent at bizz bop (otherwise known as beat boxing). Here are a few videos of daddy and I having an excellent bizz bop session over dinner.

A day at the park!

Today the weather warmed up to the upper 40s! We decided to take advantage of the heat wave by going to the park. I found this great stick. I almost poked Kitson a few times. I'm going to try to be more careful in the future.

Car Jumping

I had my hot wheels out today and was doing some excellent jumps. The key is building a lot of energy so that the car explodes of the ramp. Kitson helped too.

Fisher's dinner blessing

Thank you all for coming. I love you all. I love our house. I love all our cars. And I love our TV. Enjoy your meal. -love Fisher.

Time with Grandpa and Grandma

Last weekend mommy, daddy, Fisher, and I went up to see all four of my grandparents for the weekend. We had such a great time with them. It's pretty clear that there is nobody on the whole earth (other than mommy and daddy) who love us as much as they do. They spend every single waking moment playing with Fisher and I. We are lucky to have them!
