And I can put my "big truck puzzle" together all by myself in less than 2 minutes:

And my favorite words and phrases are:

"Bub do dit self"

"Mama doctor said no more monkey jumping bed"

"chicken dance"

"Bub happy now"

"check email computer"

"TV bad"

"Bub go night night new bed"

"Bub make mama sad" (when mommy wants a hug or kiss and I tell her no)

"Mama drive me crazy" = I drive mommy crazy

Shell and An-ny

Last night mommy and daddy went to daddy's company's winter party so they dropped me off at Auntie Michele and Uncle Anthony's house.  I had so much fun with them.  They have 2 little doggies so I got to pet them and hug them and kiss them.  While Shell cooked sticky rice for dinner, An-ny played with me.

Mommy and daddy were out late so An-ny changed my diaper, put me in my jammies, and Shell laid down with me until I fell asleep.  The next morning when daddy changed my diaper, he found out that An-ny put my diaper on backwards.  He's such a funny guy!  They're having a baby in June.  I hope he figures it out before the baby is born!

Cutter

Sometimes I get so itchy that I can't stop scratching myself.  Last night was one of those nights.  In the middle of the night, I took off my jammies and scratched my arms until they were all scarred up.  Looks gross, but it felt soooooo good!  Mommy and daddy were shocked when they saw it.

New bed

Since I can climb out of my crib now, mommy and daddy decided that it's no longer safe for me to sleep in my crib.  We went shopping and I got a brand new big boy bed.  I love my new bed, but mommy and daddy won't let me jump on it.  The best part is that when I wake up in the middle of the night, I can just climb out of bed and go into mommy and daddy's room to sleep with them.  I don't think they're enjoying that as much as I am because last night they wised up to me and put a gate in front of my door to keep me in my room.  I'll have to figure out how to knock that gate down.

The not so good part is now they want me to fall asleep on my own.  Mommy used to lay down with me on her bed until I fell asleep and then she would carry me to my crib.  Now they just leave me in my room by myself after mommy brushes my teeth, even though I'm screaming and crying at the top of my lungs.  Can this be classified as child abuse?  Are there any attorneys out there I can talk to?

My birthday

I turned 2 years old today.  Mommy and daddy can't believe how fast the time has gone.  Mommy took the day off work so she could spend time with me.  After breakfast, we went to Super Frank's which is an indoor play place that has all kinds of toys and activities for me to play with.  My cousins Nori and Nathan met us there and I had so much fun with them.  Nori and I went up and down the slide so many times.  Nathan was too scared to go on it with us.  I also got to cook in the kitchen area, color, play with a train set, and ride around in a little pink car.

Daddy came home early and we went out to dinner.  The waitress was so nice to me and she brought me some ice cream with a candle in it for dessert.  I blew out the candle, but I forgot to make a wish.  When we got home, mommy had a red velvet cake with 2 candles in it.  Mommy took a ton of pictures of me blowing out the candles.  Now I'm off to bed even though I want to keep playing.  It was a great day!

Seattle

For my birthday this year, mommy and daddy decided to take me on a trip instead of having a party.  We went to Seattle because The Children's Museum in Seattle temporarily has a Sesame Street exhibit.  They also hosted a breakfast with Elmo the weekend before my birthday.  Elmo is my favorite character ever!

We flew out on Thursday morning and when we arrived in Seattle, we took a taxi to our hotel.  This was my first time in a taxi and I got to ride without a car seat.  It was so much fun and I could see everything out the window.  That afternoon we had lunch at a gourmet pizza restaurant called Serious Pie.  Mommy heard about it from Tyler Florence on a show called The Best Thing I Ever Ate.  Mommy had a chantrelle and truffle cheese pizza and daddy had a potato pizza.  They were both really yummy!

On Friday we took a ferry to a place called Bremerton and toured a naval ship from the Vietnam War.  It was so cool!  The hallways inside the ship were really narrow and we climbed up and down all these hatches.  I even got to steer the ship from the bridge.  At dinner that night, I needed the waiter to clear my plate from the table after I finished eating so I waved my arm and yelled out "Guy, GUY, GGGUUUYYY!"  He never did come get my plate.  I hope mommy and daddy didn't leave him a big tip for such poor service.

 Saturday morning was my big date with Elmo.  When I saw him walk into the room, I got really excited.  He's much bigger than he looks in the videos I watch on mommy's ipod.  When it was my turn to take pictures with him, I walked up to him and gave him a big hug.  Then we high fived because that's what guys do.  After breakfast, we toured the museum which was really fun.  They have all these hands on exhibits for kids to play with.  While I was in the Sesame Street exhibit, Elmo came by again and sat on the steps of Sesame Street.  So I sat on the steps next to him and snuggled up with him.

After dinner on Saturday, we had to take a bus back to our hotel.  When we got to the bus stop, there was a guy standing there talking on his phone.  I thought it was rude of him so I pointed at him and yelled out "you punk!"  I don't think he heard me because he kept talking.

We had perfect weather the whole time we were there, no rain at all.  It only started raining on this afternoon when we got to the airport for our flight home.  I had so much fun and can't wait to see Elmo again.  Tomorrow is my birthday and I can't wait to see what mommy and daddy has planned for me.
