Entering the Third Year of Our Reign!

The Birthday King is TWO!

With two of my most loyal subjects, Amy (aka Mimi). . .

. . . and Cheryl (aka Rah-Ro)!

The Royal Babbo provides assistance in the opening of presents:

Candles and noisemakers!

Getting ready to blow!

Let's prepare to dig in, shall we?

Hooray for cake!

The Acton Children's Discovery Museum

Last Friday I went to the Acton Children's Discovery Museum.
It was like they designed the place with me in mind!

First, I sounded the bell for the train. . .

. . . then I splashed around and blew bubbles in the water room. . .

. . . then I drew and erased on a floor-to-ceiling chalkboard
(how can I get Mom and Dad to install one of those in our apartment?). . .

. . . then I dropped balls in tubes and watched them spin around. . .

. . . then I dropped balls on tracks and watched them make music!

I was definitely a happy camper!

Now every morning at breakfast I look at Mommy hopefully and say:

"Mu-ee-um? Balls? Water? Twain?"
only to have her reply with a laugh,
"Maybe another day soon, honey!"

Christmas 2009!

Christmas Eve:

Helping Uncle Mark with the technical details. . .

Okay, people, let's get this show on the road!
Where are my presents?

Watching intently as Mommy and Daddy unpackage a gift for me.

Christmas Morning:

Dancing around the room, looking for my gifts!

Letting Daddy help me out a bit with that pesky plastic packaging. . .

Watching Lady have her Christmas dinner!

It's Apple-Picking Season!

Well, summer is officially over, but autumn does bring some fun things. . .
like apple-picking!

We headed off to the Royal Apple Orchard
(aka Smolak Farms in North Andover)
to pick some Macs and Cortlands
and to find a good jack-o'-lantern pumpkin.

Peekaboo behind the apple tree!

Mommy guiding me through the apple orchard.
Notice how, when I'm not in the hiking backpack,
Daddy makes sure the diaper bag is.

The King triumphantly holds his prize - a beautiful, ripe red apple!

Do you think I can get the whole apple in my mouth in one bite?

Trying to show the Queen Mommy how to pick the best pumpkins.

The Royal Babbo and I in the pumpkin patch!

Maybe this pumpkin would make a good throne. . .

What will the King grow up to be?

. . . a future Ringo Starr?. . .



. . . or a future Cy Young Award winner?. . .



. . . or maybe just a professional puddle hopper?. . .



. . . only time will tell!

The King tries his hand. . .

. . . at creating fine art.

All of this without any art lessons, folks!

This will be worth money some day!

I scream, you scream. . .

. . . we all scream for ice cream!
