Happy Birthday to me!

Greetings all!  February was a great month!

Grandpa came to visit and we traveled to Atlanta for my cousin, Finley's, 5th birthday.  She had a pony party at the dance studio and we had so much fun dancing and running around.  I loved playing with all of my cousins!

Grandpa stayed with us all week and we had a safari themed birthday party for me on the 22nd, I turned 2! We enjoyed pizza and snacks and played pin the nose on the lion.  I got tons of great presents, but my balloons were my favorite.  I sang "Happy Birthday To You" and all of my Atlanta family came to celebrate, with the exception of Uncle Matt.  My cake was actually cupcakes with safari animals and palm trees!  I loved making a wish and blowing out my candle.  After the party was over we went to the hotel and swam in the pool.  It was such a fun filled day!  Thank you to all for sending me gifts and making the drive to celebrate my special day!

Enjoy the pictures and videos!

A new year! 2014 happenings

So far so good for 2014.

I have went back to the ear specialist 2 times since my last update and I passed the hearing tests and the ladies were very impressed that I knew all of my shapes.  The doctor said there is still a little fluid on my left ear, but he isn't all that concerned.  We scheduled a follow up for 6 months to have another look.

Our traveling has slowed and I have been enjoying learning new things every day.  I know all of my shapes and colors and can count to ten.  I love to read books with Mama - some of my favorites are:  Go Dog Go, Let's Go to the Farm, Elmo's Day, Where's Spot, and Micky Mouse Picnic.  I love to sing along with Mama, some of my favorite songs are:  The Wheels on the Bus, Oh Where, Oh Where, Hush Little Baby, and Apples and Bananas.  I sometimes sing along to the alphabet song and love the letter M - for Maverick and Mama.

I met my friend Harlow and her new baby sister, Hayley, at the Discovery Center last weekend and we had so much fun.  I miss Harlow, she will no longer be going to school with me, but Mama said we will still have play dates.

I love to play outside - we take walks with Oliver, go to the playground to swing and play on the slides.  I also love to kick my ball and chase it.  There is a bird feeder right outside Mama's bedroom window and we love to watch the birds and squirrels eat from it.

I love playing with my Jack in the Box and my building blocks, my favorite thing to do is knock the blocks down once we stack them up.

Oliver turned 7 yesterday and we celebrated by wearing party hats and eating cupcakes... I LOVE cupcakes!  They are delicious!  I also love dill pickles and pudding!

Here are some pictures and videos since my last post. Enjoy!

One from last year - Grandpa and me in our Santa hats!

Yes, that is me drinking the pickle juice.

Yummo!

 Me and my buddy, Harlow.

Look, it's Curious George!

One of my favorites, the ball is floating in the air!

Bath night is another favorite of mine - I got in before Mama undressed me - diaper and all.

Another one of my favs - playing peek-a-boo!

For some reason the cupcake video won't load, but this was my face after Mama told me they were all gone..

Happy 7th birthday to Oliver Bob Barker Hoschek!
