Starting to lose it...

Soooo... as you know, my summer had a little switch-up about halfway through. I was moved back east to WV and also got some new roomies. To be honest, I wasn't sure how it would go... I mean, I'm totally into my own space these days and it can get sticky when I share.

Well, worry no more - it worked out beautifully. Poppy and Peedles proved to be fantastic co-dwellers.

Per usual, I learned lots from them.

Like here... I learned how to listen to a children's story while managing to not sacrifice any of my masculinity.



And Poppy showed me how to totally act chill when hangin' in the kitchen. (I now regularly stand like this.)



Unca Tew (Uncle Stew) also came up and hung out with me. It was cool. We shot the breeze, had a jam session... You know... the usual.



Aside from the visiting, I also got to play outside a LOT. Here I am, looking proud, as I had just figured out how to open the fence and escape off the deck.



And here I am starting to lose it - using my shoes as "hands". (If you can, note the crazy face. Anytime the bottom lip gets sucked in, it's game over. Rampage begins.)



My mom has mentioned a few times that she is worried all of this moving and changing is going to make me go crazy.

I cannot imagine why she thinks that.



Now we're living in southern GA, so I can only assume that things will get even more exciting! Until then... go McCain/Palin!

My Cycle

Big news, folks. I got a cycle (tricycle, but i refuse to say "tri" for some reason). SOOOO excited.

My first day with my inanimate BFF went like this...

Tried to take it for a spin. Granted, it was a tad difficult without the wheels, but I managed.



Ahhh... but then it got easier. Can you tell I'm a natural? My form is pretty spot-on...



Oh waaaiiit... This is even more fun! I can actually control where I push it. (Between you and I, the whole pedal/steering combo was a bit unwieldy at times.)



And speaking of things I can control... Hush-up, Mommy. Just enjoy ride.



Once we had completed that warm-up, we moved onto bigger and better things to tackle. Most notably, a giant hill.

Things started out so well.



Yep! Still having fun.



And here, things started to move south. Please note the angle of my body in relation to the angle of the cycle.

It all happened so fast, I don't even remember how I ended up here.

I just knew I wanted to do it again. Immediately.



After a few more "runs", I was really getting wiped... Luckily, I had Poppy to come scoop me and my wheels up for a different kind of ride.



What can I say? I love my cycle and life is good!

A KDiggy Summer

Whatup, whatup, WHATUP!?!?!? I trust you have all been having an excellent summer? So far - mine has not disappointed. In fact, I dare say it is even better than last summer.

This is mainly due to the fact I can hit up an outdoor pool without suffering from hypothermia. However, it has taken a while to break me of my fear of cold. I consistently (and apparently unnecessarily) still try to brace myself for frigid temperatures.

(The apparel you can view is all that is on. Fantastic outfit. Really great for beating the cold.)



At first, when once mom dragged me outside, I was skeptical. That water looked cold...



BUT... it was GLORRRIOUS!



I didn't even mind when my pants were clearly further south than they should have been. Usually, I try to be incredibly discreet despite the incriminating evidence of my "winter" apparel. After all, I am a gentleman.



In addition to swimming, I have discovered (thanks to Moggy/Mac) water guns.

As you would expect, I am an excellent shot. That chair was soaked when I got done with it. Well, at least the arm was anyway... and the surrounding floor and wall. Whatever. I still rule.



My climbing skills are continually being honed. My ratio of climbing success to falls is really improving.



Ohhhhh... and trains/choochoooos. LOVE me some trains. And can we talk about the line-up I have going there? Do you think you're average two-year-old can accomplish such a feat? Well, of course they can't and likewise, of course I am incredibly advanced. Don't hate.



Hmmm... despite my incredibly advanced qualities, I did seem to meet my match recently when I hung out with my cousins.

Austin, who is just a few months younger than I, was a wonderful companion and worthy opponent.



Here we are having a casual ride in the wagon...



And here we are when I decided to not listen to my inner-voice telling me to pipe-down and sit. Instead, I chose to dominate my sweet and unsuspecting cousin. His face says it all.



But here is the catch. He has double back-up with his older brothers/my cousins... I assure you, when they were present, no shenanigans were happening on my part! Instead, it was more of an "idol worship" situation. They are awesome...

Hmmm... well, maybe not all idol worship. But to be clear, I did put my fist down and not follow-through.

Much love to everyone!

Oh, and please note for anyone curious - I am still not real happy with Brangelina for using my name on their celebri-baby.

Turning Two is Terrific!

So before we packed up our bags to move yet again, I was granted the supreme opportunity to celebrate my second birthday in WY with all of my buddies. What a joyous occasion that was. Here is the quick synopsis.

Before I begin though - I want to point out that a LOT has changed in the last 12 months.

Began my birthday morning with a birthday banana. Love me some potassium.



Next up, a quick viewing of Calliou - a very strange, yet compelling, cartoon with a little kid who is completely bald (despite the fact he is 4) and talks in baby talk (again, despite the fact he is 4).
I adore it.



THEN...a PRESENT!!

It's a wane.



Finally, the day really got going with my Ah. Some. Par. Tay.



Hmmm... I'm still not sure about those noisemakers. Although everyone else seemed to love them. I guess I'll let it go.



Soooo... This picture was taken right before I informed my friend that the cake was indeed mine.

What can I say? Sometimes manners are for the birds!

Then I was forced to share with her.



After a great snack of Lightening McQueen cake, I got to demonstrate to my buds that I can ride a horse pretty much better than anyone. Well, I could if I could get my feet to reach the stirrups anyway. Don't sleep cowboys. I'm comin'.



It was just good, no great, times all the way around.

We ended the day by taking Georgie for a walk. Of course since it was getting dark outside, I had to wear my reflective belt. A bit of an overkill? Negative. One can never be too safe.



Lata.

I love waters.

I can't belive that just a year ago I thought chasing a ball around in the baby pool was fun.

Well, friends. Times have changed.



Check this out...



Please take note of my form. Not to brag, but I think we can all see that I pretty much have a gift.



HERE I COME, WATERS!!! (yes, water is always pluralized.)



And the finale.



Shocked much? Yeah. I thought so.

Well, not to blow your mind too much in one day, but I did that like a hundred times.



Dig it.

Geligucks and Warses

Soooo. We are finally enjoying consistently nice weather here! Well, that is if you can get past the multiple tornadoes we had last week. That was real fun.

Despite this, we have been living outside and it is glorious!

This is my pond. Check it. It's right out the backdoor of my new digs (yes, we moved, but are still in the Magic City on the Plains.) Little beavers live in it and I like to throw rocks right into their dam and then say "NICE!"



Since I have been out exploring nearly every minute during the day, Mom has been making sure I get a good breakfast to start the day. Here, I am enjoying wabbles and nanners (waffles and bananas).

Please note that I am sitting in a real chair. Unfortunately, due to the fact I "abused my privilege", you'll not be seeing this again anytime soon. ARGH!

Annyyhoooo...mmm...yeah...it's okay here. Gosh, I like these pockets! (Ignore bloody nose. The elevation here is killer!)

Enough with the child's play - it's time to tell about the two activities that changed my life.

First - mad props to Mom and Dad for dragging me to the mall for what I thought would be a lame display of model helicopters. I mean, that stuff is for babies... However. I was clearly wrong.

REAL GELIGUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mmmhmmm...this feels right...

[hailing geliguck]

The ambulance was a sad second to the geliguck. Good try, Mom.

Because I am emotionally maturing, I made myself look stoic despite the fact I really did not like being taken away from the geliguck. ...sigh...

After that glorious outing, I had a great surprise! My Granny came to visit!

We had such a lovely time! I showed her how I am quite adept around a farm and farm animals.

Here, I am demonstrating that on farms, cups are unnecessary. We just drink straight from the tap.

Then I taught Daddy how to feed baby goats. They were very hungry. If I were not so experienced with their kind, I might have gotten a bit freaked out. But obviously I didn't.

And. Then. Came. Brownie.

Are you seeing this!?!? ARE YOU SEEING ME RIDE THE WARSE!?!?!?!?

I was ready to go solo, but Mom would not allow it. Something about short legs?? Whatever - I could totally have handled it. Plus, Brownie and I had a connection.

Guhgurrll, Brownie. Guhgurrlll.

I did not want to leave her, but alas, all good things come to an end...

...unless you run really fast away from your parents!!!
