More Morning Mischief

Do you remember this post from a few weeks ago?
Well, this morning I decided to switch things up.





Mommy and Daddy thought it was so funny so I decided to do it again at nap time.

I think I heard Mommy say something about moving the basket out of my reach. Rats!

Dressed for Success

I've been working really hard at learning to dress myself.








Hey! What's so funny?

Mommy here. I've made some changes to the photobucket site to make it a little cleaner. I thought I'd let you know a little bit about how it is now organized.

When you go to http://photobucket.com/cuteasaurusrex, you will not see any pictures right away. If you look on the left hand side you will see a list of sub-albums like 2008 pics, 2009 pics, 2010 pics. I've organized the 2010 pics into sub-albums as well so when you click on 2010 pics, again, look on the left hand side for the sub-albums.

I think this will be a change for the better. The pictures were all getting dumped into the same folder making them hard to sort through and way too much to look at at once.

As I make sub-albums for special events, I will make sure Rex includes a direct link to that sub-album in his blog post so that you don't have to go through all those steps. For example, in his latest post about his birthday party, he included a link at the end to a special album of all those photos. Try clicking on it if you haven't already!

I am also breaking up the everyday photos into 3 month sub-albums. So under 2010 pics you will see a sub-album named January-March and one named April-June.

Here's the direct link to April-June so you can check out his latest pics
. I am making the links go directly to the slideshow option.

One other thing: I tend to dump ALL the pictures I take onto the photobucket site. I use my facebook profile to upload just the best so if you want the abbreviated version you can always be my facebook friend and look there.

I hope this post was helpful. Let me know if you like the changes or have any other suggestions.

Birthday Party!

On Sunday, I had a party at my house to celebrate my 2nd birthday. I had a blast spending the day with my family and friends. I got all kinds of awesome presents including lots of clothes, books, and toys. I got a train to ride on, a tricycle, and a piano. I even got my very own potty and big boy underwear!!! Mommy says she's scared to start potty training. At my party my friend Ava a I decorated our hats with dinosaur stickers and then wore them to go on a dinosaur egg hunt! And, of course, there was lots of food...my favorite were the number 2 cookies that Aunt Rosalie made. I ate so many that I didn't want any real food for lunch.

Thanks to everyone who came. I can't wait until the next one!

Here are some highlights from the day:











You can see all the pictures from my birthday and birthday party on the photobucket site.

I decided to practice my photography skills with Mommy's camera. Here are a few of my best shots...what do you think?








I even shot a little video...

Morning Mischief

Sometimes I wake up in the morning before Mommy and Daddy. I yell for them to come get me, but sometimes it takes them a while. Well, there's not much to do in my crib, and I get bored so I have to get creative. My new favorite game is to pull the dirty laundry from the basket through the slats in my crib.

Happy Birthday!

Today is my 2nd birthday! Can you believe I've been around for two whole years? I started out at 7 lbs, 14.5 oz and 20 inches long. Today I'm up to 28 lbs and 35 inches tall! Mommy read that my height at 2 years old is a good prediction of my adult height. If that's true I will be 6 feet tall! Anyway, I thought you would enjoy a look back at my first two years. Enjoy!

5 updates in 1

Okay people, I get it. I know you live and breathe for these blog updates, and you wish they would come sooner. Look. I'm almost two years old. I have things to do, places to go, and people to see. I blog when I can fit it in to my busy schedule. But you are all very special to me, so I'll try harder to post more often. How about a run-down of what's been going on these past few weeks...

Update #1: I'm ready for my close-up

I've decided I want to be a performer when I grow up. Actually, I'm not even going to wait till I grow up. I'm going to start right now. Mommy says even boys wear makeup on the stage so I've been learning how to put it on.


I've also been experimenting with costume design.


You may be wondering what kind of performing I do? Well, I'm a song and dance kind of man.



Update #2: Surgery

On May 27th, I had my 2nd ear tube surgery. I also had something called adenoids removed. Everything went well, and I was back to running around in no time. I can hear so much better now! The doctor hopes that this time I will outgrow my ear problems and not need a 3rd set of tubes. I hope so, too!


Update #3: No way, Jose

A week or so ago, Mommy and Daddy put the sprinkler on outside. For some reason they thought I would have fun running through it in my underwear. NO! I did not like it one bit! Aunt Kristi carried me and ran through it. I guess it was okay that way, but it's just not my cup of tea.






Update #4: A Dentist Dilemma

Today, Mommy brought me to the dentist. It was my first time. There were some nice ladies who wanted to look in my mouth and touch my teeth. Well, I didn't really want them looking in my mouth. They tried bribing me with a car toothbrush, a rubber glove, and dinosaur stickers. The Rex will not be bribed! I wanted to give it all back. Then the dentist, Dr. Paige, tricked me! I can't believe it! I thought she was just having fun and tickling me, but what she really was doing was tricking me into opening my mouth! Sneaky! Well, we left without my teeth getting cleaned, but she did tell Mommy that my teeth look great, and she'll see me again in six months. Hmph, we'll just see about that.


Update #5: Very Verbal

In the last couple of months, I have learned to say so many new things. I am constantly surprising Mommy and Daddy with the things I come out with. It took me a while, but I finally say "Mommy" and "Daddy" although I get them mixed up sometimes. I know all my letters and numbers. I can recognize and name a bunch of animals (even elephants and alligators), and I know what a lot of animals say (for instance, I know that frogs say ribbit and sheep say baaaa). I can name some shapes like triangle, circle, and star. Lately I've been saying "oh, cool!" a lot. That seems to get a good laugh out of people. But, of course, my favorite word of all is "Nooooooo!"

Well, that's all for now, folks. Oh yeah, one more thing. Don't forget that the big day is coming up next week. On June 10, I will be TWO years old! I hope to see you at my party!

Love ya,
Rex
