Alright, so you’ve had a look at Spring, now let’s see how our Summer has been going – other than fast!  I have been trying to be a good helper to Mom, putting my toys and books away when she asks me to, and living up to all 33 months old I am now.  Squeaker is getting bigger  all the time (6 months old now!), and I love her so much!  She will be sitting up soon, and is already trying to scoot around like an inchworm on the floor!  Sometimes I play with her and talk to her if she’s a little fussy when Mom is trying to cook or clean.  Bumblebee (20 months) is not as excited about her, but she’s getting to like her more now that Mom doesn’t have to hold the baby so much.  Bumblebee is also getting bigger, and finally talking more – I can’t wait till we can have a decent conversation.  She used to always reply “uh-UH” to everything, now sometimes she says, “uh-HUH” and she also likes to point at the rest of us and call us by name “Mama, Dada, Dar, Baby!”  Well, she still has to work on my name, but she’s getting there.  Anyway, this Summer has been busy and fun.  Take a look below!

Here’s our midwife, holding Squeaker when she was just a few days old.  She was almost an April Fool’s Day baby!  Whew!  Boy are Mom and Dad glad they missed that one!

Wanna see Squeaker making little squeaks when she was only about 2 months old?  Click on this link and see her try to talk!

Squeaker squeaks… sort of

Here are a couple more pictures of Squeaker (one with Daddy), as she got a little bigger and cuter!

Following this paragraph is a link to a video of Bumblebee, before she was talking much, and about 2 weeks after she finally learned to walk at 14 months (within days of when Squeaker was born).  I beat her on that one!  I was 12 months when I walked for the first time… Mommy says she walked at 10 months.  Hmmm… maybe Squeaker will walk that early.  Anyway, Bumblebee had just finished a bath and….

Bumblebee all clean and showing off

Here are a couple pictures from our visit to a fun restaurant that hands out masks, raisins and crayons with paper for kids- we like going there!  Bumblebee was a piggy and I got to be a tiger.

Here is a longer video… of ME!  (Got a few minutes?)  Back in June Mommy decided to record me while I was reading my favorite book – “My Shoes Take Me Where I Want to Go.”  Only problem is that in the video I start in the middle of the book, and when I get to the end I go back to the beginning and read what I missed.  hehehe

Here are some pictures of Bumblebee from this Summer, with 3 of the many expressions she likes to make.  She sure is fun to have around.  We love to play together, but sometimes we fight over toys.  I just wish she wouldn’t try to take my trucks and cars!

Don’t laugh… I just have this habit of putting on my head anything that looks like it will fit (remember the bucket from a few posts back?) – like the swim trunks below.  Then you can see me sitting on Daddy’s lap, spread-eagle.  I like to be like my Daddy.  🙂

Okay, three more pictures, and then I gotta scoot!  Here are 1) Bumblebee and I riding a zebra on a carousel, 2) The three of us sitting on the couch at home, being cute (of course!), and 3) Squeaker taking a nap and sucking on that beloved thumb!

Well, I hope you enjoyed looking at our blog.  If you’re lucky we might actually update again before Christmas!  Hope you all are well, and God bless you all!

Love, Jr. (and family)
