Phew! It has been a busy month around here. I won't waste too much time "talking" as I've got lots of pictures to post. Also, I'm anxious to get to my Month 24 post because, as I'm typing this, I have already celebrated my 2nd year. Crazy huh? But I'm getting ahead of myself...backing up to Month 23...I have developed excellent manners. Really, I've had great manners for a few months now, but this month they are more refined and I hardly ever forget a please "peez" or thank you "tane too." I'm speaking in sentences and, in case you were in doubt, I WILL tell you when "I want" something or "I no like" something.
Technically, Month 24 brought us Valentine's but I have a lot for next month, so we'll discuss that here. Valentine's Day was my mommy's school party. She made little cream puff hearts and brought them to my class. Nana came too. They wanted to see me in action, but I was a little naughty. My teacher said I don't ever act like that NORMALLY, but to be perfectly honest, I didn't really like seeing MY mommy and MY nana giving other kids attention. So instead of participating in the songs, I just sat my little fanny on the rug in non-violent protest. Let's see something else happened on Valentines...what was it...hmmmm....oh YEAH, it was also my daddy's birthday. I probably should say how old he is but let's just say he turned 40 again, again, and AGAIN. My aunt, uncle and cousins came down to help us celebrate and I just love seeing all of them. We are crazy together. And I do mean CRAZY. For example, we all went to eat at Hiro Japanese Steakhouse for dinner and there was a woman in there who looked to be a...how shall I say this politely, streetwalker? And WE were the ones who almost got kicked out?!
I've also reached a very important mile stone...potty training!! I have a potty that looks like a frog and I just LOVE going to sit on my potty...sometimes I potty, sometimes I just read the paper...but it's always a great spot to sit and relax. I love my potty. Sometimes I go to it over and over and over...and OVER again. Mommy just LOVES that! And I don't even need stickers or treats to go potty, all I want to do is wipe!
My grandpa is an excellent painter. Here I am showing him some new techniques that he might want to incorporate into his work.

Ummm...I KNOW you're not eyeing my treat...
Mommy's treats are finger lickin' good
Protesting participation
Whatever is happening in this potty is EXCITING
MOM, I may be going potty in the living room, but it does NOT mean you can take my picture!
You always have to wash your hands after you potty
Milk, water, and paci...my trifecta of happiness...
