Using a fork

Mommy is super impressed with my fork using skills.  Maybe it's because she didn't give Ethan a fork this early, and maybe that's why he's not still very good with a fork?!

One more thing about my birthday party...

...or two.  Mommy let all the kids have candles in their cupcakes because one of my friends wanted one, so since she had enough, everyone got one!!
After everyone sang Happy Birthday to me, I requested Zip a dee doo dah....which mommy sang to me.  She was actually surprised she knew all the words!!
It was a great party, except for the fact that I haven't been feeling well.  Mommy is praying that I am better by morning because Daddy is leaving for the week on Monday.

Birthday celebration

 The mermaid that started it all...

 I really wanted to wear this crown that mommy had glued shells to for the girls.  Someone let me wear their crown while we broke the pinata.  I preferred to hit her when she wasn't looking at me.  Mommy was worried that I might not want to break her, but knowing there was candy inside was all the motivation I needed.

 My second turn, my technique was to hold the stick out, spin in circles and hit the pinata as I passed it.

lego table

Last month Marcello and Luca introduced me to the wonderful world of Legos.  I love building with them.  Mommy found this table second hand, painted and glued these plates on so I could build on my own Lego table!

Trip to the mountains

 Em wasn't super thrilled about her immobility in her snow gear

 there wasn't any snow in anywhere but at the ski hill, so we went to sled and

 make a few snow angels!

 the look on daddy's face when he was talking to mommy about dropping her camera

on the concrete....it took 3 pictures on it's tumble down the concrete stairs.  Fortunately it didn't break the lens, the screen or any buttons!

Ethan is a toy hoarder

My brother doesn't rip things out of my hands too often, and he does try to share but sometimes he really doesn't want me to touch his things and this is what happens.
