First Day of School 2011

My own artistic rendering of my first day of school look.  I picked the outfit myself.






Big sister admiration.

Today is the first day of school!  I am moving up into the "bigger kids" class at Montessori and although I am excited about learning the new things in that class, I am going to miss my teachers so much.  I will be moving from Miss Leti's class into Miss Swarti's class.  Oh but I am ready. Let me brag on my intellectual prowess for a minute:  I recognize all of my letters and numbers and I have phonics down!  I have even started sounding out words and I know lots of sight words, so I am really getting ready to read!  I can count to 50 in English and 20 in Spanish and German.  I love painting, drawing, coloring and glueing anything.  I love to sing (Shakira is a new favorite, thanks to her duet "Todos Juntos" with Dora) and when Mom is making dinner, she will turn on some music (The Beatles is a favorite) and I will dance around the kitchen with reckless abandon.  So back to school;  I suppose I am ready for a new challenge.   Lots of my friends are getting to move into the new class with me, too, so we are going to have so much fun together.  Let's do this!

The Giggles

Matagorda with the Hidells





















This weekend we made another trip down to Matagorda, but this time the Hidells met us there.  It was so much fun!  Berlin and I chased each other in circles on the beach and Luke and William even did a little baby playing themselves.  What a fun weekend at the beach!

Wrestlemania


Wrestling has become one of our favorite sibling activities.  Right now, Kate certainly has the advantage and wins most of our matches, but just give me time....

8 months old


Believe it or not, I am already 8 months old!  I am on the move, I have a very healthy appetite and I love to snuggle and be held all the time! I also love my sleep.  I sleep 12 hours a night and still take 2 naps during the day.   What can I say?  I am a growing boy!
