Green with Envy

I went over to play with Grandma Herbert on Friday because Mom had to work. Bummer for Mom but FUN for me! We played some piano and did some reading (Jake is still baking cakes) and of course I was crawlin' all around. I will say that Grandmas have a pretty good way of preventing me from getting into trouble: they just hold on to me! That's cool though, I love snugglin' with Grandmas.

Friday was a pretty chill night. I just hung out with Mom, Dad and my sisters. I was sitting with Mom and was being super squirmy so, of course, Dad took some video. I was just bored and was practically twirling my thumbs waiting for some fun.

I tried on a new K-State shirt after a diaper malfunction and M&D told me it made me look like a little kid. Which I guess is an upgrade from baby? Hmm, not sure.

In my exploring I came upon a laundry basket Dad had been working on. I decided to help by taking socks that were in the basket out. I'M SO DOMESTIC!

On Saturday morning, M&D and I met Grandpa Davenport for breakfast at First Watch but Grandma Davenport was mysteriously missing which meant I had to entertain myself. Where's the fable GmaD? I must say, I was doing better than some people though. There was a kid in the booth next to us that was maybe 9 months older than me and she was eating Floridian French Toast. Actually, if she was eating it I would have been jealous but for the most part she was just spilling it down the front of her WHITE sweater. Oops! Side Note: How great is the information super web? I Googled "Floridian French Toast" and some random person (not First Watch) had posted a pic on flickr which of course I helped myself to. Is there anything not available on the super web?

After First Watch M&D and I made an oft occurring trip to Target where I got some pretty sweet new sweats. Man, was Dad right about sweat pants or what? They are AWESOME! You know what else is awesome? Socks. I decided to snack on one as we surveyed the seemingly endless aisles.

On Saturday night, M&D were having dinner with some friends which meant I got to go play with G&G H some more. And as soon as I got onto the floor, I made a bee line for the piano. G&G H followed me in and I was able to cajole them into playing with me for a bit.

On Sunday, we met G&G H for lunch at (a different) First Watch. Dad took a hundred pictures but I think this one's funny because there's a grandma in the background that is clearly jealous of GmaH. You can just tell she'd like to play pad-a-cake with me.

After FW, Great Aunt Nancy stopped by so Dad could help her pick out a new computer. I hadn't seen GAN in forever and was pretty eager to show her my crawlin' skillz. As I was bombin' around the living room, GAN mentioned something about a cute baby contest that Regis & Kathie Lee Kelly are hosting with Gerber. The winner gets $125,000 towards a college education! $125,000?!?! Less two years at JCCC leaves a LOT of money for "bottles." Sweet. Hey, this may just be the pic to go with too!

After school today, Mom decided to see if I was ready for sippy cups over bottles. Aunt Darty got me a personalized cup for Christmas so Mom broke that out for a maiden voyage. Despite help from Penny, I wasn't too in to the sippy cup so we'll have to try again in a little while.

Before dinner, Aunt Abby came over to play with my sisters and me. I was excited to see her but I was not shy about my disdain for her hat. YUCK! But still, I didn't want her to go. :(

M&D and I had dinner with GmaD, AD and Uncle Dave. But where was GpaD? Where's the fable here Davenports? I didn't pose for any pics at dinner so you'll just have to trust that it happened. Phew, I'm exhausted so I'm off to bed now!

Remember, you can't take it with you, but you can lick it so no one else can take it when you're gone.

Until Later,
