The Great Outdoors

One of the things we like most about our new home is we get to be outside a lot.  There are so many beautiful parks, lakes, and of course the beach!  Mom is trying to get back into pre-me shape so she takes me jogging in my new Bob stroller...it's such a smooth ride (thanks Gamma and Grandpa!).  This weekend we met my cousins for a picnic at a park in Raleigh.



 

Kate loved feeding the ducks and geese...until they got a little too close for comfort.

 

Papa Tom invited us over Easter weekend for my first ever oyster roast...he is an excellent cook (or so I hear.)  I  hope to taste some next year.  Nana was in New York visiting my Noni...we wished they could have joined us!  I also went swimming in the pool for the first time in my own personal flotation device.

Mom loved seeing me in my Eater outfit so I did a few poses for her!

Hi everyone,
Well since I last posted, I have learned that I have a voice!  Enjoy!

Hoppy Easter

 My mom and Gamma took me to my first easter egg hunt at Bond Park last Sunday.  Daddy would have loved to come but he was hard at work recruiting in Dallas, Texas.  Mom insisted on dressing me in this beautiful outfit Nana and Papa Tom bought for me!  I really loved my bunny basket...how do you get the eggs in here??

All the kids were jealous that I got to go out into the field before the easter bunny gave the countdown...Gamma assured them I would not take any eggs!

We got to go see my Uncle Jeff coach the varsity girls team at Cary Academy.  I had a blast playing with my cousins and enjoying the warm weather!

 Matthew really likes sharing his toys with me.

Since Daddy's games are right around my bedtime, I haven't been able to go to one yet.  But I still like to show my Wolfpack pride!



Mom walked out for one minute and came back to this! :)

Splish Splash

My favorite time of the day is bath time.  No matter how stressful my day has been, those warm suds really know how to make me relax.  I have figured out that I can splash my arms and get people very wet!

Wolfpack

I finally got to see where Daddy works at NC State.  His office is awesome and there is RED everywhere.

This one's for you Matty Wolf!!



I wasn't even nervous around this guy...kind of reminded me of Riley...with slightly larger teeth.  I miss her and can't wait for her to come to North Carolina.

We went on a picnic on Saturday to Bond Park.  There is a beautiful lake and lots of walking trails. 

I was fascinated by the grass and liked to pull it up with my chubby fingers.  I don't know why they didn't let me eat it!

I am one loved little boy!

Spring Swings

I had a great time playing with my new buddy Cameron.  His mom Julie went to Xavier with my mom!  Small world!  He is already crawling and pulling to stand so he can teach me some new tricks.  Every time I'm next to somebody my size I like to put my arm on their back or hold their hand to provide a little comfort. :)

Hey buddy get back here!!

Cameron was really nice and shared all his toys with me.  Of course, I loved the fake food!

We took a walk down to the park and I got to go on my first swinging adventure!

I did a great job keeping my balance.

Boy was I tired and hot by the end!  I took a great nap that afternoon...mom loved it!

Let's Flip!

Mom finally figured out how to upload and share videos from the flip camera Aunt GG gave us!  Now let's travel back in time to a very special scene from "A Costa Christmas 2010" entitled "The Grinch."
