big smiles for beamee...

hello! this one will be super fast - we're leaving for the beach in the morning and i still have to finish packing!! that's right - my new jacket will come in handy after all because we're heading to florida to see SELT for a few days. i'm bummed that we won't get to see beamee and grampee and AGGJ too, but hopefully we'll see them soon. :) in any case, here are some more pics of me lately... i'm sorry i don't have time to write more! life is just getting so busy these days... but luckily the other day i had time to sneak in a snack on mom's shoe...

and i like to play with my coffee mug and pretend that i'm drinking a "hot" like daddy (coffee) and mommy (chai tea). "hot" has been my new favorite word lately, and i'm learning that the oven and fireplace are hot, and i call a lot of other things "hot" that really aren't, just to practice my new word...

here's what i look like from mommy's point of view when she's tickling me really hard on the floor!

trying to get at the camera lens...

eyes...

okay, well, i guess that's almost all... what else... i really like cucumbers. and i still love reading so much - it's one of my favorite inside activities (and climbing boxes and low chairs and suitcases). and i love swinging outside so much. anytime mom even mentions "outside" or "shoes on" then i kinda get real impatient like until we go outside. :) i'm down to one nap now, which is a good thing on the days when it's a long one! i have a daily mid-morning breakdown, but usually mom can push me through it with distractions... but i like to be in the same room with mommy and i don't really like it too much when she's on the computer or on the phone... i am still good at playing on my own, but i just like to be kinda near her lately. but i think this is just a phase and i'll enjoy it for a while and then grow out of it soon. i can't be a mama's boy - that's for babies!!

okay, really have to get packing now! but i'd like to give a shout-out to my beamee and dedicate this last smile to her. hopefully i'll see you soon, beamee, and give you a big smile and kiss in person! :)

and now, we're off to the beach! i'm really, really going to try really hard to be a good boy in the car. i'll give a full report when we get back, on the car ride there, the car ride home, and all the fun in between! thanks for checking in again! bye!! :)
