Eggs, Eggs and an Egg Hunt!

Hidee ho, everyone!

On Saturday, Mama, Tutu, Sir and I colored Easter eggs. I was plenty skeptical of this new venture and decided after much debate that I would supervise the whole operation and have a snack instead of getting my hands dirty. Emily Rose's Mama is probably saying that my Mama chickened out of letting me do the coloring (Note from Mama: She'd be right...maybe next year, Allison) but I had fun just the same.
Here are our eggs in the dye. What happens next?
Here's Tutu taking out the first egg. Wow, it was white and now it's blue. Fascinating...
Wow, you guys are good at this. These are some pretty neat Easter eggs. What do we do with them now? Mama says that's the age-old question...she says you're supposed to make egg salad sandwiches the next day. Sounds weird to me but OK.

Then it was time for an Easter Egg Hunt! I'm not too sure what that is but I'm willing to try anything.
Here's Tutu "hiding" the eggs...
So you go around and pick up the eggs and put them in the basket. I can do that...
Look, I found some more, Tutu! This is fun! I have one for each hand...
Wow, there's stuff INSIDE?! Bonus! Let's try some...
Wow, that's a lot of eggs, Mama! Let's do this again next year, OK?

Now we're supposed to wait for this Easter Bunny character to come and bring us stuff on Easter morning. If he's anything like Santa Claus, I'll have to see it to believe it...

Golfin' Fun With Tutu

Hi, Party People!

This last weekend we went to Tutu and Sir's desert house in La Quinta (that's Dada's Mama and Dada).

On Friday, Tutu and Sir's new golf cart arrived so Tutu, Mama and I took it for a spin down to the driving range. Oh, the house is on a golf course and we can wave to golfers from the patio if we want.
Mama and I watched Tutu take a few swings. Tutu is an excellent golfer and her balls went really far!
Then Mama took a few shots, too. She's not a golfer but she did OK in my book.
Then I noticed a whole bunch of awesome white balls just sitting there in a pile waiting for me to pick them up. I had to take two home with me—one for each hand, of course. Hopefully the golf police won't arrest me for stealing balls. I'm a fugitive!

The next day is Holy Saturday. Mama says we are going to color eggs and do an egg hunt. Don't know what those are yet but I'm sure I'll find out. Ta-ta for now!

Remind You of Rockem Sockem Robots?

So I have these cushie blocks that have triangles and squares and circles and things inside of them. On Saturday I was just casually playing with them and realized that I could carry them much easier if I wore them. Seriously, I figured this out on my own (Note from Mama: Yes, he definitely did). I'm a genius!
Only trouble is it's hard to get up if you sit down.
Uh oh, I think I'm stuck.
I little help here, people. OK, so maybe not the BEST idea I've had. I'll work on it and get back to you...

Blue Suede Shoes? Well Almost...

Hi, everyone! Thought you might like to see my new sneakers. Sweet, huh?
Here I am at home on Friday testing them out. Mama was there to record the moment. I've been wearing them for a whole week and so far so good. I've almost given up crawling for good except when I'm especially tired.
I've found that sticking out my tongue helps me with my balance. I've yet to test this theory in a scientific setting but it works for me.

Splish Splash, I Was Takin' A Bath

My Cousin Jack posted an awesome video on his blog this week of him splashing in the bath. I don't have video but I do have some sweet photos of how I shampoo these days.

For those of you who have been following my blog since I was a newborn, you've probably noticed that I have been lacking in the hair department. Just recently my hair has begun to grow thicker. Cool, huh?!
I actually have enough to spike! Am I sexy or what?!
And check out the little tail I've got going. My Pop says my "mullet" has to go and that he would take care of it for me in one cut. But Mama says it's adorable so I guess it stays for now.

By the way, right after these photos were taken I proceeded to splash like crazy (fortunately the cameras were not rolling for that one). My Dada says he needs to wear a rain slicker from now on. Hey, I'm a toddler and I finally enjoy taking a bath. Deal with it.

This is my LAST catch up post. Yeah! So I promise to have Mama and Dada take current photos of me this weekend so we will start posting in the moment. Stay tuned...

Luck O' The Irish

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We spend the Saturday before the "Big Green Day" at Tutu and Sir's house for a traditional dinner and celebration. Tutu made corny beef and tried to sneak some on my tray but I just kept throwing it off the side. Nice try, Tutu!

I definitely wore green because Dada said that I'd get pinched if I didn't.

Tutu and Sir have lots of fun toys at their house for me to play with. I love this one with the door the best. It makes lots of fun noises and I know exactly how to push all the buttons.
Tutu even saved some what Mama calls "retro" toys from when Dada and his sisters were little. This one makes music. If only I could figure out how it works...
Here's Tutu playing with me. This toy is neat, huh?
Mimi and Pop came for dinner, too. They're not Irish but Mama says that's OK. Not everyone is perfect like me.
Sir even helped me play the piano. I think I might have to learn how to do it for real one day.
And the day would not be complete without some wacky fun with my Aunt Nora. She is so funny! We even got to meet her special friend, Aaron. He's pretty cool in my book!

So "Erin Go Bragh," everyone! (Tutu says that means "Ireland forever") Hope you had a great St. Patrick's Day. I know I did.

Wow, we're almost caught up now, people! Only one more post from this past weekend! Yeah!

See you soon...

I Got This Walkin' Thing No Problem


Hi, everyone! Noah here...

On Wednesday, March 4, I was feeling particularly crabby about my teething so Mama and I went home early from daycare. I was watching some Sprout (my favorite channel, you know) and decided it was time to nonchalantly walk across the room to see if Mama was watching.

Well obviously she was since we have this lovely little video to share of the whole experience. By the way, Mama apologizes for getting overly excited. Hey, it's not every day your little boy walks, right? Enjoy!

Tutu (that's my Dada's Mama) says that I walked on my Great-Grandpa Prys' birthday, which she says is so fitting. He would have loved me!

This last weekend I finally grew out of the shoes my Cousin Jack handed down to me so I went out and got new ones...some awesome sneakers and some sweet sandals. I loved them so much I walked right out of the store when I tried them on. I'll have to have Dada take a few pictures of me in my new shoes. I'm getting really good at this walking thing, for sure!

Catch you later, my peoples!

Next post: St. Patrick's Day fun...Stay tuned!
