I know, I know... you're thinking where have you been?! I have a new hobby that has taken up a LOT of my time this spring. I love swimming!! And anything really that gets me in the water. About a month back my friend Olivia invited me to the pool for the first time and we've been going several times a week. My pool toy collection is quite extensive now and I have a dedicated pool bag.

Daddy stayed home with me on Tuesday so that I could fully recover from my ear infections. I woke up Tuesday feeling just fine but he didn't want to take any chances. My fever was gone but Daddy thought I felt a little warm so I got to hang out redneck style with no shirt on. Daddy and I played all day and rested. By the time Mommy came home from work I was jumping at the chance to go on a stroller walk. The antibiotics have kicked butt on my ear infections and I feel much, much better.

On Monday I gave Mommy and Daddy a big surprise. I woke up full of sunshine and energy all raring to go to school. A few hours later my teacher Ms. Carol called Mommy and Daddy to tell them that I had a fever and was acting super tired. Mommy and Daddy rushed to come pick me up and take me to the doctor. Dr. Herrmann said I had two ear infections, a fever, a sore throat and my baby asthma was irritated by all that. Who knew?! I had such a fun weekend and didn't act sick at all. My doctor says I am a trooper for not complaining about being sick. She also said since I'm a big boy and walk into the office by myself I get a big boy sticker! Isn't it a cool lizard sticker?
Friends on Saturday night I had my first slumber party! My friend Millie came to play and stay for the whole night. Here parents were going to an evening wedding and instead of waking Millie up way past her bedtime they let her stay at our house. We had a lot of fun playing before dinner. Millie is just getting the hang of this walking thing so I let her play with my trucks and walk across the living room. She's a very nice friend because she doesn't steal toys out of my hands or take things that I want.
Mommy said we were the best babies on the block Saturday night because after getting in our pajamas we both fell asleep quickly. Mommy had Millie sleep in the spare bedroom because I am an early bird and Millie likes to sleep in. Once Millie woke up the next day, we shared some cereal. I showed her how much my Mommy likes it when I grind the cereal all over the table and sprinkle the powder on the dog. 
I am becoming quite the food pirate. Today Daddy was prepping vegetables for on the grill and I stole a whole bell pepper from him. It was so nice and crunchy and cold. I didn't want to let go of it. I ate as much as I could but it was very big. I even drug it outside on my swingset. Click here to see pictures of me starting my modeling career for the American Produce Association.
Spring is here and the weather is beautiful. Every evening Mommy and I have been swinging in the backyard and playing in my clubhouse. It was warm on Monday night so we came inside and enjoyed a popsicle. Nothing says nice weather better than swinging and slurping. If you're in the neighborhood our swingset is always ready and our freezer is always stocked. Click here to see all my popsicle pictures.
I hope you all did something nice for your Mommy yesterday because it was Mother's Day. I started off Mother's Day by being mean to Daddy. He was trying to get ready to eat breakfast and I stole the bagel right out of his hand. I ran down the hall eating it so he wouldn't catch me. He called me the bagel bandit
dinner. Here she is trying to smile and be patient while I'm trying to wiggle out of her arms. 
Daddy's hand. Mommy wouldn't share her food with me because she said it was raw fish and would make me sick. I got very frustrated but I tried to behave since it was Mother's Day... I said I tried, I didn't say I succeeded.
