Me and Uncle Sam and Daddy



Every Boy Needs a Rat and a Dragon


I've Got a Monkey on My Back!


Soooo Worn Out...

DRAGONS AND MONKEYS AND RATS, OH MY!

My Uncle Sam came to see me a few weeks ago, and he came bearing gifts! Not every little boy is as lucky as me...not every boy's uncle comes from far away with dragons, monkeys and rats. Stuffed ones of course. He also brought me a big stuffed dog, but its too big and heavy for me to drag around, so its not in any of the pictures.

So here's the update...I am so big that I walk anywhere I want to go. I still do a little wobbling and falling, but I am a true toddler now! I love playing "ba-ball" with the basketball that Mama Nikki bought me for my birthday. I can bounce it or roll it back and forth and get so excited when Mom or Dad plays with me.

I am learning all kinds of words:

Ba-ball = basketball
Uh-OH
Book
UnDAT! = I want that! (usually said 15 times in a row with great enthusiasm and about something he's not supposed to have)
Tenkewwwww! = Thank You
Daddy
Mama
Baby
Bye-Bye
Poop
Fish

This week I even said my first "sentence!" Mommy gave me a new book and I got so excited and said "Tenkewww! Da Book! Tenkewww! Da Book!" over and over. Unnecessary translation: "Thank you for the book!"

In a nutshell...I am a really smart cool baby, and I like to chew a rat tail every once in a while. Happy summer!

Love, Reid
