Take A Hike!

Not really! If you went and did that, you wouldn't be able to read by latest brag-blog! I only wrote that because it was a nice transition statement into one of my most recent accomplishments: the ability to use and abuse verbs! These verbs help me to tell Mommy and Daddy what I'm doing (incase they can't figure it out for themselves): "I'm kicking," "I'm eating," "I'm throwing," "I'm running," "I'm walking," "I'm reading," "I'm playing, "I climb it" just to name a few. My verbs also help me to tell Mommy, Daddy, and Mephisto what to do: "Leave it!" & "Move (Please)!" are very useful. I also like to point out some of the things I see around me (e.g. "I see a tiger"). I like to point out that Mephisto's barking too: "He's barking!"

I've also been using my words to get what I want: "Reach," "Touch it," "Hold it," "Eat it," "Bite it" or "I bite it," "Tickle, Tickle;" "I like it," and, of course I can't leave out the three little words that seem to get me anything, and everything, "I LOVE YOU!"

I enjoy asking for, and giving, hugs and kisses, and I know how I feel and I like to express it: I like to declare "I AM HAPPY!" (and point to my chest with both of my fists). I also say "I am sad," but much less frequently. I know when someone else is tired or sleeping, but I've yet to admit that I am tired myself.

It's fun to point to Mommy and say "Hey, Hey, Hey!" or "Whooooaaaa, whoooooaaa, whooooaaa!" to see if she'll repeat it.

I'm beginning to count. I know one very well, and often shout out assorted numbers up to five.

I like to point out "dirty" or "messy" things. I was in a bakery yesterday, and noticed the messy floor. I didn't hesitate to point it out.

I am developing very good manners: I leave the room when I have to poop, and when Mommy comes in to check on me, I say "No Mommy" shake my head, and wag my finger until she leaves. I have also learned to say "Excuse me," "Please," "Thank you," and "Sorry."

I LOVE balls, magnets, pumpkins, raisins, and money. I have my own wallet with credit cards and dollar bills. I refer to my credit cards as "money" and my dollar bills as "dollars."

I find it funny to blow on Mommy's tummy and make fart sounds. It's so funny to watch her squishy tummy wiggle like a bowl full of jelly. Hey, is SHE the real Santa Claus?!

I like getting a reaction from saying: "Ding dong (insert one or more of the following words with major expression here) cheesies, raisins, pizza, beans, cookies!

You probably haven't been lucky enough to realize it, but I am the BEST dancer. I wish you could witness my moves. They kill Mommy. She thinks I'm Krumping. I dance whenever I hear music. Not only do I shake my booty, I also shake my maracas and my tambourine, and incase you didn't know, I keep a wicked beat on my drums.

I like to speak Chinese to the Chinese storeowner across the street: "Nee How!" (it gets me free raisins EVERY TIME! It has also got me a couple of other freebies, including a free hem on my coat!)

I should probably update you on the toys I'm perfecting. I'm quite good at using my shape sorter, figuring out puzzles, and using those peg boards to place shapes on top of. I'm still stacking 9 or so blocks, and I really like playing with, and eating, playdough. Playing in my kitchen is extremely fun. I enjoy slicing and dicing the food, cooking, setting the table, and pretend eating. I also like to sing, and often you'll be able to name that tune in three notes! I also like to compose my own songs...some of which will be available on my new release: "Baby Bieber."

School is going very well. I know ALL of the names of my friends at school. Mommy and Daddy have been told I sing "Oh Canada" the loudest of all of my classmates. They have also been told that I "laugh loudly" when playing with my friends. I have a group of friends who always want to play with me, and I get to hold the Canada flag during the national anthem. Just recently, I blew my first bubbles at school, and Mommy showed up just in time to witness it!

On Thanksgiving weekend I was in Port Colbourne, and I had my first hospital experience since my birth: a major ear infection. I've been a happy boy since receiving treatment.

In October I enjoyed going to the pumpkin patch and also going Trick or Treating with Mom Mom,Uncle Shane, Mommy, and Daddy. I was the Itsy Bitsy Spider. Mephisto was a bat, but he went all batty when his costume got too tight around his crotch, so we had to take him home. Eventually I had to go home too because I was just getting over a little cold, and I had a few bats in the cave (if you know what I'm sayin').

Well, sorry this post was so long, but I had a lot of updating to do. I'll try to keep you updated more frequently!

I LOVE YOU!
