Last Hurrah at the Splash Park!

Last weekend we went to the splash park for the last time for the season. Good thing we did because it is definitely not splash park weather this weekend! I had a great time, and Uncle and Amanda and Grandma and Grandpa all came along to enjoy the fun. Uncle even got wet!!

Here is some video of our day! This is to show how good I am at splashing people!

Corn Fest!

Well, Monroe has Cheese Days, and Sun Prairie has CORN FEST! We missed it last year so this year we decided to take part. We started out with the parade on Thursday evening...and that ended up being it! We couldn't do the corn part because I got a fever on Sunday afternoon and we planned to go Sunday night :( Luckily Mom and Dad didn't talk it up too much so I wasn't disappointed. I did like the parade though :) This was my first parade!! Oh and for all of you Monroe people, one of the floats was for Cheese Days!

A little overwhelmed at first...those fire trucks are pretty big!!


Felt much better once I saw a cow...

Getting into waving at the people...(oh and you will notice I brought my own flag along. I knew it wasn't a patriotic holiday, but what is a parade without a flag?)

The Cheese Days float...

Thanks for stopping!

Joey-isms

Mom hasn't taken a whole lot of pictures of me lately so I thought I would take the opportunity to write down some things I have been saying recently. Mom said that I should since some of the things don't come out the way that other people say them (this English language thing is HARD!). First I will write what I say and then what I am talking about...

soppy-caterpillar or syrup or ketchup
libey-library
wawa-water
hehwro-hello
do-juice
walalamelon-watermelon
pahyee-potty
nana-banana
cycle-motorcycle, bicycle, tricycle
buh-bear
Amama-Amanda
Papa-Grandpa
Rmama-Grandma
Adea-Adria (a girl at school, and I always yell after I say her name because she is so wild!)
Sosho-Rocio (a teacher at school, I make my lips in a pucker when I say this one)
hammy-hammer
nee-neigh or knee
etty-elephant
buh buck-wake up

Here are some other words that I can say perfectly!
Hi
Bye
Bus
Bubbles
Milk (I finally add the k at the end)
Park
Car
Truck
Turtle
Sheep
Bug
Uncle
Cindy (teacher at school)
Mouse

There are many others in both lists, but this is what I came up with for now!


Some funny things I do!

If I do something mean and someone pretends to cry; I go over to them and pet their arm and say "hi" in a cute voice. It usually works!

When I see Captain Feathersword from the Wiggles, I swing my arm and say hewro!

Bouncy, Bouncy, BOUNCY!

Before the bounciness begins, here are some pictures from taking Uncle and Amama to the Splash Park. Amanda taught me to splash Uncle, which as you can see from my expression was SUPER fun!

It was a little on the chilly side since the water was shaded during the time of day we went. I had to warm up at the picnic table for a little bit.

On to the bouncing!! I am starting to hope that Summer lasts forever! I have been doing so many fun, new things and each one I think I love more than the other! The latest new thing was Bouncy Town USA! There are a bunch of inflatables to jump and play in. We went on a Friday night, which apparently was good because I was pretty much the only toddler there (they have a couple separate toddler areas). It was a great chance to learn about how to bounce and tire myself out! By the end of the night, I was so tired I could hardly get up when I fell down, and I actually woke up in the middle of the night and had to have a snack because I was SOOO hungry. I haven't done THAT in a VERY long time!! It was a great time though, and I can't wait till Mom and Dad let me go back!

Can you see how tired I am? Dad, this wasn't the best time to get my picture!!

Here's some videos to show how I was learning to jump and how hard it is to get up when you fall down and you are tired!

Summer Fun!

I got to go to the Jefferson County Fair last weekend. It was a blast! I went into at least 4 different barns of animals, and some I went back to for a second time...I especially liked the goats, but all of the animals were great!


Grandpa had to hold me for the horses. They were SOO tall!

Giving a goat a hug....

Trying to be a goat with Mommy. My attention was still focused on the goats.

Amama

Amama (Amanda for those of you who don't speak my language) is joining my family!!! I am very happy to have an Aunt so it will be interesting to see if I end up just calling her "Aunt" and not Aunt Amanda. Congratulations Uncle and Amama!!!

4th of July and a New Room!

I had a very fun 4th of July weekend, and I am on vacation all of this week so I am living the high life!!

Here I am with Daddy and the deer friend I made at Mackenzie Environmental Center. I loved visiting all the animals. I didn't want to leave so I tried crying and saying "animals" and pointing, but Mom and Dad made me go!

Daddy and I climbed a tower. I wasn't scared a bit, but Dad seemed a little nervous!

Saturday I got to play in my pool for the first time...or maybe I should say "on" my pool. I wouldn't sit down in the pool; I had to sit on the edge. Hey, would you like to sit around in wet pants??

Grandma and Grandpa came to stay overnight since Jacob is scared of fireworks, and Sun Prairie doesn't have any. It was great! I was WILD!

On the 4th of July, I got to go to Monroe to the park to play games and watch dancing. I loved the dancing. After they were done with one song, I would say "more".

Trying to throw bean bags. I would like one of these saddles at home.

Monday, we redecorated my room. I am getting more of a little boy's room instead of a blah baby's room. See the Sesame Street theme??

I hope you had a great 4th too!!
