Okay, if Blake can show me looking silly singing on his blog, I can show him on mine having a really terrific time while I hold him down for Mommy to take our picture . There! Now we're even!

Whee! Daddy's helping me jump down from his new pickup truck. Mikael is in the back all suited up for his baseball game. We can't ride in the back of the truck, but it's fun to see how high up we are in it and then jump down.

Oh, boy. I'm always happy to have Daddy pick me up. We have fun together and I always feel safe in his arms.

Here I am with Daddy out in our back yard. He's teaching me to play soccer. Between you and me this is not a regulation soccer ball, but don't tell him I know. I hope to be as good as my cousins, aunts and uncles who played in school.

I'm hanging out with "Bro' in da crib." He's not into the lingo yet, but as you can see, he's positively thrilled to have me to hang out with. "Yo, Bro. Lemme see your grille."

I know I'm supposed to sit here, smile for the camera and be good. Great Grandma Nannie and Great Grandpa Bumpo just want a picture of Blake and me for a keepsake, but there are things to explore, things to play with, songs to sing and dances to do. I can't just sit here all day!

We went to great-grandpa Bumpo's house to help him celebrate his 85th birthday! Blake didn't do too much singing, but I love to sing Happy Birthday and will at the drop of a hat!

The crowd holds its breath as Gracie performs on the 4" balance beam. Well, the "crowd" consisted of Mommy and Blake at this performance at Tumbletots. But I can dream, can't I?

Here I am on the rings at Tumbletots with Mommy and Blake. Mommy takes me there to help me burn off energy and get exercise. I see how this works now. I do the Tumble and Blake does the Tots.

Hey, Dudes! Mommy asked me to pose here in the pipe slide at the recreation park. How's this look? Pretty professional, huh? Not to sound too much like a Valley Girl, but this slide is Totally Tubular!

Hippity, Hop. Hippity, Hop. Just like the Easter Bunny! The park is open again for Spring. So that's what I'm doing. Springing! This bridge makes it easy to spring up and down like a bunny hopping along. I love it.

Tee Hee. You caught the Easter Bunny in a rare moment. Not eating a carrot! Oh, wait. This is really a carrot cookie. No, really. It is! Would an Easter Bunny kid you?

Here I am with cousin Camille at cousin Ava's birthday party. We're having a ball and Mommy took a picture of us showing how much we're enjoying the party. Can you tell?

Mommy says I'm clowning around. I prefer to think of it as being efficient. After all, I've managed to get both feet into only one leg of my pajama bottoms. Won't that save wear and tear on the other leg? I'll get twice the use out of these. Umm. Wait. Will I outgrow them before I wear them out? I may have to reconsider this strategy.

Here I am visiting at my friend Brian's house. We attend a music class and found we shared the same interests in music, art, and some of the social sciences. Although our philosophies differ somewhat, we have enough in common to maintain a good working relationship. Boy, that was hard to remember. Someone get my speech writer on the phone.

Here's my friend Dakota snuggling up on the sofa with me watching TV. We have great fun together when we visit. She's much older and actually goes to school already. Maybe I'll ask her for advice when I get to go to school.

Grandma, are you telling me the truth? Are you kidding? Seriously? I can hardly believe it!

Hmm. I wonder what Birthday presents are in this bag?

Unlike me, Daddy doesn't like to be the center of attention. But when he holds me, for some reason, he always has a great big smile. He's wishing me a happy birthday and managing to keep me from getting at the cake at the same time. Stay tuned.

Here I am with my cousins, clockwise from my left, Abbey, Camille and Ava. Elmo is just a party animal, not a cousin. We were enjoying my birthday mini-cakes, before we tore into the larger cake. Mommy, can we have another birthday party for me soon?

Does it show that I really enjoyed my birthday party? Can you sense it at all? These balloons and streamers wouldn't come off my dress, but the number got a little twisted during the festivities. Guess I'm a party animal after all.

Papa caught me in a pensive moment during my birthday party watching my Great Grandmother, Nannie, as she held my little brother, Blake. She was helping him get rid of a "bubble" after his bottle.

Grandpa Dave just told me a funny story at my party. Birthdays can be so much fun when you're the center of attention! I know, believe me. I've already celebrated two of them!

Hi everyone. It's finally happened. I've been waiting my whole life for this. I'm now officially two years old. And I've got this party evidence to prove it. And lots of presents, too. I just knew it would be this good. That's why I patiently waited through the years. Celebrate. C'mon. Sing along, "Happy Birthday to Me..."

Whee! Finally enough snow to ride in my sled/toboggan. At least a little downhill, while Mommy snaps my photo. Then Mommy or Daddy have to harness up and pull me around. What a life!

Can you tell I'm cooking up some scheme even though I look sweet and innocent? Just ate something and haven't wiped my face yet, but I'm already thinking about my next adventure. Gosh, I'll be two in a couple of weeks. I'll have to act much older then.
