Fancy shoes-Juner.

Aunt Girl, you'll be glad to know I finally fit into the shoes you got me for my birthday.

And they are adorable! Every morning (after I put on my jewelry), I go straight to the closet for my pretty pink shoes.

I'm not so sure about the socks mama picked out, but who cares as long as I can look pretty.

I tried "double shoeing" it with mama's new Birkenstocks that she got on Ebay. ($20 for a pair of $100 brand new shoes! She hasn't stopped talking about them.) It was so cute that I clearly negated the "no shoes on the carpet" rule and wear these shoes nonstop until it's time to go to bed. It's driving Henry crazy.

At lucnch, I decided my bottle wasn't good enough and demanded to drive from mama's gym bottle. I didn't feel like eating much today, but for the first time in known history, I pushed all of my torn up sandwich into the cup holder, instead of throwing it across the room as hard as I can.

Now that I've stopped throwing food, mama says maybe she'll keep me after all.

My pictures- Henry.

Here's more pictures from my camera. The vast majority of them are big white over-exposed blobs, because I'm still learning not to take pictures from a distance of 2 inches. But some turned out.

These are my words. Every night, papa and I sit down at the computer and work on the finer points of phonics. I've got "oo" down, but "th" words are giving me a hard time. Maybe it's because I can't pronounce "th". Once we're done working on sounds, papa gives me 10 words that I have to read on my own. If I get all 10, I get an extra story before bed. Sometimes I get 3 chocolate chips.

Here's a picture of papa. I'm getting better at standing back.

The first picture of just mama and papa that has been taken in a long time, since mama is always the one taking pictures. Time for a hair cut, mama.

I dabble in self portraits. This is the first one for my facebook page. Mama says all the teenagers take their own pictures.

GG got mama a box of kids craft ideas, and I decided I wanted to make this snake. We cut it out so when you lift it up in the middle, he's a big twirly snake.

I gave him 3 eyes and an orange tongue.

I'm getting better at pictures of myself.

Here's mom again.

And Gracie and I making necklaces.

We want to give a special public mention to Aunt Girl. She's really got what it takes to be a teacher because on Tuesday night she very enthusiastically talked to me on the phone for over 20 minutes while I played out the episode of Bob the Builder where the ever technologically-impaired Bob can't get his phone to work because he held it upside down. I tried this out on Girl several times and it never got old. And Aunt Girl played along the whole time. Thanks, Girl.
