Valentine card haul

We celebrated Valentine's day at school today. I gave out SpongeBob cards with lollipops to all my friends and teachers. I even gave one to myself because I love lollipops. He he he. Check out how many Valentines I got. One, two, three, four. One was from Rafael. It said "for my playing partner." I think he has a crush on me.

Check out all my cards.

Saturday day date

Dave and I had a day date today. We went to a play. (We are fancy.) It was about a group of friends who went on an adventure all around the world. We sat right next to each other and David even shared his lollipops with me (but don't tell Daddy, he won't let me have them.) After the show, we went running hand in hand down the street giggling. David didn't seemed to mind when I stopped and petted each dog we passed. We also went for ice cream and then to a a toy store that let's you play with stuff. We both tried out scooters. Weeee. I totally want one.

Post show bliss.

Got ID?

After our hot date on V-day, I saw David again today at his second birthday party. He let me play with his Yo Gabba Gabba toys, which I'm told is HUGE! He doesn't let anyone just play with them. :)  I really liked petting David's cat and dog. I only got licked once and I didn't even mind. There were a lot of people at the party so I helped out by being the bouncer. It was tough work! Some of the adults kept hopping over the gate instead of going through the door. Don't worry, I yelled at them so they wouldn't do it again.

No one gets in without ID.

We're full. Try back later.

Dirty valentine

Theo didn't end up being my valentine, David did. You remember David, we went to the ice skating show together. Well, he came over today and we had a very romantic date. We had heart shaped cookies, cheered our cups together and even dirty danced a little bit. Don't tell Daddy, but I started shaking my butt (mommy called it twirking) and David came right up close behind me to dance. It was steamy! Good thing mommy didn't get any videos or pictures, then David would be in trouble with Daddy for sure.



Sorry, I eat the candy that was on it.

I made you this card.

Finding love day

I've been trying to decide who I'm going to ask to be my valentine. To be honest, I'm not that impressed with the two boys in my class. I do have my eye on this older boy Theo. He's actually the brother of my friend Leah. I'm slowly learning Theo and me have a lot in common. We both like to climb. I overheard his mommy telling my mommy that Theo climbed on top of the roof of their SUV. That's so cool! We also have the same taste in nap mats. He has the exact same robot one as me! I'm not sure if he notices me, especially because he is in the downstairs day care room. Would it be weird for me to ask Leah to mention me to Theo?

Material girl

Check out my new black leather skirt. I LOVE it. It was a birthday present from Jersey Fran. It made all my daycare girlfriends jealous. :) There are no boys at school that I'm interested in anymore. Instead, I'm really into Fran's grandson, David. We hung out last weekend and he hugged and kissed me many, many times. Daddy started to get a little mad. (He he.) Mommy thought it was funny and just took photos.

This skirt is my favorite!

Me and David. What a hunk!

Hudson revisited

Remember Hudson, the boy who I had my first date with? Well, I ran into him at the park today. He has gotten so big. He's practically running these days and he gave me a ride all over the playground in his cart. We went down the slide together. We even shared a water bottle. This is why I like an older man. They know how to treat a little lady. Sadly, Hudson is moving with his family to New York next week. We may never see each other again. It's sad to think about that. I know I'll never forget him, my first friend.

Thanks for the lift, Hudson!

This went better than our first date.

Sliding is more fun with Hudson by my side.

Fresh meat

There is a new boy at daycare. His name is Layne. He's not much of a conversationalist or even a babblealiat. I definitely prefer myself an older man who challenges me. Maybe I'll meet someone on Friday when mommy and me go to a challah making class. A nice Jewish boy even. :)  I just hope the bruises on my forehead from banging into things go away. If not I may have to borrow mommy's makeup.

Party hopper

It's been a party hopping type of weekend. First I went to my friend Caleb's house for a barbecue party on Saturday. We had a lot of fun playing in his bedroom (don't worry, mommy was supervising) and out on his porch. When Caleb's daddy scared me, Caleb gave me a big hug to make me feel better. He's such a sweetie. Then today, we went to my friend Lulu's house for her birthday party. I had a blast riding around in Lulu's pink car. I started giving rides to a few people including this boy Declan. He was really into me. After I gave him a ride he climbed in and sat right on top of me. Later he open mouth kissed me, right in front of daddy. How embarrassing! In addition to the parties, this long holiday weekend we went to the aquarium and I had my first swim lesson, but I'll tell you more about that next week. It's way past my bedtime.

That will be $12. 50. Who needs a ride next?

Yum, beer. I'll just take the whole case to
the party. Never good to go empty handed.

Stop taking photos. I want to see the sea
lions and the penguins already.

Showy shorts

My shorts show a lot of leg and that certainly gets the attention of the boys at day care. I know it's a compliment and all when the boys crawl up to, but I could use some more personal space. Just yesterday, Jack nearly climbed right up my legs and to my face like he was going to kiss me. Good thing I had a block to fend him off.

Sunday swinging

One of my favorite things to do is go swinging with daddy. We tried out a new tire swing this weekend. I was a little embarrassed because my dress kept flying up and there were boys at the park. Daddy says not to worry. By the time he lets me date, when I'm 30, they will forget.

Boys, boys, boys

Remember my first date with Hudson? Well, I saw him today for the first time in four months. I was a little nervous to meet up because I've put on some weight. Turns out so did he, so that was a relief. We had a good time. At one point Hudson ran his hand over my cheek and it gave me the chills, but I kept it together. We actually met up at our friend Nathan's house. Nathan and me ended up spending a lot of time together because Hudson kept crawling away. I think he was trying to impress me, but all it did was let me get to know Nathan better. Later in the day, when we were at the park, I decided to go on the swings with Nathan instead of Hudson. I think I'm crushing on Nathan.

Hudson and me hanging out.

Nathan is a certified hunk, even his shirt says so.

Buds and Shiners

I'm still not sleeping well, but I think we figured out the reason. I have two teeth coming in. One broke through yesterday and another started this morning. How cool is that?

Oh, I also got something called a shiner yesterday. One minute I was sitting playing with my toys, the next my face smacked into the side of my toy bucket. Hopefully Jack won't think I'm hideous.

My first tooth. Can you see it?

Oh boy trouble

Quick update on Jack. He's still mine! Luckily, nobody stole him while I was on vacation. :) I did overhear he may move up to the toddler room. Say it isn't so! We won't be able to so easily flirt if that happens. I'm not sure I'm ready for a long distance relationship.

Back to Boston and boys

Well, we made it home from vacation. Mommy and daddy keep talking about being back to the grind on Monday. I don't know what that is and they sure don't seem excited about it. Me, I'm looking forward to getting back to day care. I hope none of the other girls stole my boyfriend Jack while I was gone. Every morning when I get dropped off, Jack crawls up to me to say hello. He is so dreamy! Jack is a little older and he's super strong. He is able to pull himself up all by himself. While I can't do that yet, I plan to impress him with my flexibility. I figured out how to practically make myself into a pretzel this week. I don't think any of the other girls can do that! And, I can now sit up all by myself.

Hey Jack, check out this flexibility.

Look who can sit up all by themself!

Be my valentine

Today is another holiday—Valentine’s Day. (So yes, mommy dressed me up again.) This holiday is all about mushy, gushy love. I sure hope my day care crush Neve asks me to be his valentine. (Daddy is my backup.) I’ve been planning my outfit all week. I got these new red skinny jeans and this top with lots of red hearts. And, since it has been snowing so much, I think I may also wear these sparkly black Uggs my friend Yael gave me. Do you think Neve will think I’m trying too hard? I saw some of the older kids making Valentine’s Day cards the other day. I wonder if he made one for me. I’m so excited; I can barely wait to get to day care. Get up already mommy…I’m ready to get dressed and get going! 

Crushing

I made a new friend at day care today, her name is Leah. We have a bunch in common, including we both have a crush on the same boy, Neve. He’s got the biggest brown eyes and always looks so cute eating his yogurt in the mornings. I tried to get his attention all day, smiling and giggling. It worked too. I noticed him checking me out a few times. He even tried to sneak a peek when I was having my diaper changed. Naughty, naughty Neve. I’ve been trying to convince Leah that she is going to like Tomo. He’s one of the other infants. We actually haven’t met him yet because he’s on vacation with his parents this week, but I’m trying to limit my competition for my man. I just hope Tomo isn’t a better catch. 

All this scheming over boys makes me tired.

First date revisited

Now, I know I’m supposed to play hard to get, but I got a text from Hudson today that he was in the area if I wanted to meet up. I really wasn’t doing anything else, and it was such a nice day out, so I said sure. We met for froyo and a short stroll before he had to go to an appointment in the area. I wasn’t feeling up to my normal chatty self, so I let Hudson do most of the babbling. He also showed me his super wicked bubble-blowing skills. This could be the start of something … then again, I’m way too young to get tied down.

First date and mommy’s birthday

A couple of you have been asking how my first date went. I was hoping you would have forgotten I mentioned it because I’m a little embarrassed to say the date never materialized. (Mommy taught me that big word today.) Hudson and I shared a few emails but then communication stopped. I’m not sure why. Mommy told me it isn’t me, it’s him and that boys (other than daddies) can be unreliable sometimes.

I did see Hudson again today at our weekly mommy and me class. We sat next to each other, but he played it cool, as if he didn’t ask me out and then never followed through. I did notice he was much more interested in the boy sitting on the other side of him than me. Just saying…

Today was mommy’s birthday. We spent the WHOLE day together. I tried to be on my best behavior, and I was, except for when I had a little accident and pooped my pants. After that, though, I was great. We walked around the mall, had lunch with our new mommy friends, went to class, picked daddy up from work and then went out for dinner. It was a long day, so my gift to mommy is to sleep through the whole night! Oh, how cool is this? I’m three weeks and four days old today and mommy is 34 years old today. Pretty neat! Here's a picture of us cuddling on the couch tonight. People keep saying I look just like her. What do you think?

Making friends

Mommy took me to a class yesterday where there were other babies and mommies. I was the youngest one there. I was also one of only two girls in the entire class. Mommy tells me that means I have my pick of all eight of the boys to make my first boyfriend. At first I thought Liam was really cute, and then Cole came in and Fritz and Jack and Hudson and Charlie. It was a hottie heaven!

Turns out I made a good impression because Hudson has already asked me on a date. His mommy and my mommy are going to chaperone as we take a stroll around Brookline. I’ll let you know how it goes.
