Yesterday's money quote

Yesterday, while watching Mommy get dressed, I observed, "Mommy, you have such a big BUTT!" Obviously, I should start judging for America's Next Top Model.

At last! My choo-choo choo-choo train pix are here!

Hi folks,

Without further ado, I present my choo-choo choo-choo train pix, courtesy of Papa!

Love,

Pudget

Quote of the day

After bonking mommy with my big head, she complained that she was seeing stars.

I told her "No seeing stars! Mommy gonna only see MOON!"

A to Z

My new favorite book is Sandra Boynton's "A to Z." Here are some cute comments I have recently made while reading it with Mommy:

1) Mommy: "I--Iguanas Itching. They're scratching themselves because they're itchy. Maybe they have bug bites."
Me: (scratching the picture) "I'm putting on Sting-Eze!"

2) Mommy: "T--Turkeys Tripping."
Me: "Oh no! Turkey fall down! Turkey gonna call Nanny 911, get ambulance!"

Back seat Pudget

Here are some pictures I took of Mommy driving me to Lowe's. Next, I think I will try some undercover investigations. Like bad driving, for example (hint, hint).

Papa painting

Papa has been helping Mommy and Daddy get their house ready for sale. This apparently involves a lot of painting, but it looks a lot more boring than my fingerpainting. Here are some photos of his progress. Thanks, Papa, for erasing all the damage I have done during my short lifespan!

My new look

Lately I've been favoring a pink Hello Kitty bandaid on my forehead plus electric blue nail polish on my digits. Makes a nice contrast, dontcha think? Here's me showing off my new look while eating a Cheerio and while using my cool new Winnie-the-Pooh fingerpainting set.

More outtakes

My left foot... and right foot

I've been honing my photography skills to prepare for Papa's arrival. Here are a few outtakes of my feet--do you dig the electric blue polish?

Papa and me

Today Papa came all the way from Seattle to play with me and take me on the Choo-choo choo-choo train. I hope Grandma won't mind my borrowing him for a little while...

Quote of the day

To Papa, regarding the Short Pump train: "It's dark--we can't ride choo-choo choo-choo train. Sorry!"

Southern gentleman

Today I got to see Mommy get sworn in to be a lawyer. Bowties are still de rigueur for Southern country lawyers, so I fit right in at the courthouse. I met a lot of nice people--the AUSAs fawned over me and gave me toys to play with, and the clerk let me torture her poor fishy. Maybe this going-to-work thing that Daddy does every day isn't such a bad gig, after all.

Fashion faux pas

This morning I ordered Mommy to take off my Hello Kitty apron because, "I can't wear this and play cars!"

Bon appetit!

Since I'm a budding chef, Mommy bought me this stylish new cookset. (Daddy is a bit skeptical about the hot-pink Hello Kitty theme, but I have been an avowed HK fan ever since I noticed that my LA grandma wears HK on her slippers.) Souffle anyone?

Art critic

Today I spotted a picture of Michaelangelo's David and cried, "He nudist!"

Brand loyalty

This morning I woke up screaming, "I can't go Home Depot! Only Lowe's!"

Merry maid

I've been honing my vacuuming skills so that I can finally earn some allowance and buy some eyeshadow to match the blue nailpolish Mommy secretly bought me at Target. So there, Daddy!

Hard hat

Whenever I finish a meal, I put the plate or bowl on top of my head and cry, "I wear hat!" Which is why Mommy refuses to let me eat pudding nowadays.

Angling

Watch me reel in a particularly lovely specimen. Yes, it's Copper River season again!

American Idol

Thank goodness Blake lost American Idol--I have more talent in my left pinky than that beatboxing hack! (Plus, I don't have really bad hair or wear argyle!) I plan on showing America how it's really done, once I outgrow my diapers.
