Frozen hashbrowns

You know what's really funny? Bags of frozen hashbrowns, especially when dropped from a great height.

My new friends

I just discovered that one of our cats, Sappho, is very tolerant of me. That makes her my new best friend (besides Barney, whom I found one morning while flipping through the channels and instantly fell in love with a couple weeks ago).
Here I am signing the one word I know, "more" (also used as "please"), asking Mommy and Daddy to pick her up for me.
They won't do it? I don't need them; I'll do it myself!Unfortunately she weighs almost as much as I do.
Maybe I'll just take my shorts off and run around the house instead.

Beanpole

I weighed myself a couple nights ago and I've gained exactly one pound since my 15 month check up six months ago. I've gone from notch 2 on my belt back to notch 1. And I've shot up about 3 inches. Tomorrow I'll be starting my milkshake regimen.

New haircut

About a week ago, Mommy and Daddy tried to get my haircut. Suffice it to say, it did not go well. Not as bad as the time before that when I screamed so much I about gave myself an asthma attack, but it didn't result in a haircut.

So, Mommy attacked me with scissors last night. Well, not really. Daddy distracted me with a bottle of soda and Mommy cut my hair as fast as she could. Not bad for her first time!

More cheap labor

This morning I decided to do some light cleaning before breakfast.
I gathered my supplies and headed upstairs.There's no mess I can't handle (or make bigger)!

Fun with words

Now that I'm talking a lot, Mommy and Daddy (mostly Mommy) have decided to amuse themselves by getting me to repeat fun little phrases. Here are some they have me say a repeatedly:

Boy howdy (Mommy gets a big kick out of this)
Goose poop (the sidewalk in front of Borders was covered in it today)
Oh baby
Aww man!
Alright

I also repeat things when not prompted, like "thank you," which I say whenever I hear someone else say it. Today I also added on "Take care," which Daddy says a lot.

However, there are so many words out there that I've started taking shortcuts with them. "Daddy" means one of three things: my dad, Aunt Debbie, or dog. And "Mommy" means both my mom and yummy. But don't confuse it with "mom," which is how I say "come on" while leading someone to whatever I want.
