Me & My Cousins

Some fun shots of me and my cousins on an afternoon walk. We stop at each bench on the trail by the ocean. I can make almost the full 2mile loop on my own ( but it is nice to hitch a ride on someone's back).

 

Bike Riding

Since mom & dad packed thier bikes for our Thanksgiving holiday, I made sure they packed mine too. I typically have driven 3-wheelers, but my cousins gave me their 2-wheeler (with training wheels of course). For my first real bike ride I did GREAT, although a slight down hill did make it easier. Soon I will have it mastered.

BTW...thanks mom for the extra pushing. I hope your back did not get too sore.

Holiday crafts

Gingerbread man and Christmas tree decorating time! I got to do them all by myself this year.

Treasure Hunts

Time for my turn to geocache. We went high up into the hills. It was a long hike. Once we found the treasure mom & dad said I could only take 1 item. I don't get it...there were plenty of things in the box, why could I only have 1? After a lot of chasing and tear, I took 2 treasures home. Plus I got a free ride home on uncle dan's shoulder.

 

Thanksgiving Day

Another holiday with family. Uncle Dan made his famous brined turkey and stuffing, mommy made papa Gary's fresh cranberry sauce and grandma Beth did many of the side dishes. I think since my daddy does not cook much, he was put in charge of playing games with me and my cousins. I guess that is what he does best.

Ipad introduction

The nice part about having older cousins is that I get to see some fun toys that they are playing with so I can ask my parents for the same. Zoey and Sam had a small computer, that could play movies, games and books. I used their IPad as often as I could and mastered it in no time. Monster at the end of the book (as told by Grover) and Cookie Doodle are my favorites.

Tide Pool Fun

Today we explored the tide pools by the house.  We found star fish, hermit crabs and regular crabs everywhere.  My favorite was wading in the water to find big rocks to throw and make a big splash.  My fun ended when I became the big spalsh.

Cambria 2011

I got a special treat this year for Thanksgiving... my Aunt Veronica, Uncle Dave and cousin Danielle came to CA for a visit and got to join us in Cambria. They joined us in playing games, being silly, exploring the tide pools and hikes. I wish they could have stayed longer, but I had more adventures with my cousins Ellie, Zoey, Sam and Aunt Leeann and Uncle Dan.

I can dress myself

I have recently mastered being able to change my clothes all by myself. Since the days are cooler, I have learned how to pull my long sleeves to change my shirt. I go through at least 3 outfits a day. If it is the weekend, it could be more since I change into my jamas (and another pair of clean underpants) for nap time and then a new set of clothes after my nap. Mom had to buy me more pant and underpants to keep up with my new trend.
