happy 2.5

in recognition of birthday #2.5 today..and the anniversary of mattywatcher..here are some shots of me as i grow!

a day to go...

a day later...

a month old...

6 months old..

a year old...

a year and half..

*this is actually the only picture of me sleeping at this 18 month age because this is when i decided i no longer needed more sleep than awake time.

2...

and right now..the big two and a half...

now i only have 6 more months to be two and terrible--and boy am i terrible!

terribly cute, terribly smart, terribly sweet, terribly darling, terribly entertaining...

HOT HOT HOT

i am so excited it is finally warm in new england...although dad says it got a little too warm a little too fast. mom and i just think he is a silly goose.

we watched the boat race finish..

..i was not that impressed, good thing daddy makes for a comfy chairwe waded in the milk street fountain..can you see me??

..and stopped for lunch on the harbor. at least M&D enoyed themselves! this is me sleeping--again--through lunch..

*that is my gigantic foot in the cornerand tonight we ate a HUGE lobster - almost 5 pounds!! yum yum yumm

85 degrees!

on our first truly warm day...mommy let me play with the camera because it was so early when we woke up. this is my favorite picture

and we walked along the harbor stopping to steal second..

..and play in some fountains.

then we went to check out the volvo world (sailing) race point in the seaport district. you should check it out: http://www.volvooceanrace.org/

what a great time! they had tractors for me to climb on..

..and daddy "drove" me around in a little matty-sized volvo.

after the fair, i let m&d could have a nice, quiet lunch on the harbor and when i woke up..

..mom and dad got me an ice cream but i did not like it!

making new friends..

** daddy will give you $5 if you know who he is

i think spring has sprung

Y. I. P. P. E. E. ! ! ! ! !

mommy and i saw this rainbow from our balcony today! it even rains nicer in the spring

we watched it until it disappeared..then i cried

update for dc

if anyone sees a small, red garbage truck please let me know. i have been whining for the past three hours and mom still can not find it.

note: i did receive approximately 37 other new matchbox cars this weekend but i want that one.

i love the sun

i can not wait for this weather to reach us in new england. soon after this picture i took off my shirt, with a bit of help from mom

the wwII memorial is always a hit...puddles especially!

i love the party animals and no, i do not mean our family at dinner! feeding the donkey

(he wanted our other green stuff) i even let everyone enjoy dinner at dc coast!

thank you ninny for the train video

i did catch a little cold which made for crabby baby on plane but am feeling much better back at home..although it is chilly here!

family in dc

boy am i ready for the spring! i enjoyed the 70-degree weather with cousins from VA.

great aunt joan led me, maya and maddy up connecticut avenue to the zoo.

(and everyone thought she did not like children!)

and katelyn and kylie and i watched the elephantsand kaden and i ate the leftover ice cream! he had the softest hair

why mom loves spring

because i run around until i drop!

**edited on june 24 - why in the world am i wearing a fleece, hat and blanket in the "spring"??!!

calling visitors

daddy knows where all the fun stuff is at the science museum!

mom too...boy this is just GREAT fun!

ahhhh..easter

..the holiday that keeps giving! mom and i are still eating chocolate treats from the bunny!

(just don't tell daddy)

and here is me with aunt rosetta's birthday cake

(same PJ's different days..i am not that lucky!)

bath time still is the highlight of my day. especially with these cool bath crayons.

sunshine, where are you?

this is why we need it to get warm out!

i easily succumb to cabin fever. especially when mom unloads the dishwasher....or when she makes up my bed.

thank goodness i am so cute!

happy easter

the bunny left me the best basket ever!!! he must know i just love trucks

happy easter from all of us!
