New Stuff

Hello My Booga,

I wanted to write to you to let you know the antics that you have gotten into these past few months. You are so funny right now. You are talking more and more each day. You like to mimic Mommy and Daddy. You especially like to be Mommy's echo! One day when Scruffy and Mutley got out we had to walk up and down the neighborhood to find them. Daddy and Ryan went one way and called for Mutley and you and I went the other way and called for Scruffy. I would call "Scruffy" and then you would call "Fuffy" I would say "Scruffy come to Momma" and you would say "Fuffy, Momma." You also like to boss them around. I caught you giving them grapes one day and telling them "sit" "sit." It was funny. When we take them out to go potty I will tell them "Go potty" and you will yell at them "Potty-go, potty-go!"

You also like to tell us mm-hmmm when we ask you a question. You call ice cream, keem. You love "keem" more than almost anything else.... well I guess you like popsicles as much as Keem!

One day we were helping some friends move for the most part of the day and then we went to Cheyenne Frontier Days for the evening. It was late when we got back to their house and we were supposed to take our friend to the airport in Denver and she was to be there at 4am. So she decided that we would just stay at her house until about 2am and then we would take her there. There were so many people in the house that we were staying in the van on an air mattress and we fell asleep. I told Daddy that we should just leave you asleep, since you are a bear-cat when you are tired or woken before you are ready, and Daddy said we should just make sure you were in your car seat. I told him that he had to make you mad and put you in the car seat. I went into the house to get you some milk and when I left you two you looked at me whining and said "why, why Mommy?" It was so cute and broke my heart at the same time.

You say more and more stuff each day. I love listening to you talk, but there are some things that you say that I am not sure of. You say "kee-go, kee-go, kee-go, kee-go" I am not sure what it means but is funny and if I say it to you then you will repeat it over and over again. I think it is funny and cute.

You love to go bye-bye and if you don't get to go you will throw a fit. I have to bribe you to behave sometimes. Oh, and you love to get into mommy's purse and wear her Bonne Bell lips. You love to get into the DVD's and try to play with them and bring them to me so we can watch it. But on the down side you get your little fingerprints on them and then they don't play. It really annoys Mommy when you don't listen and you don't leave them alone, but I am trying not to be so bugged by it. It is all a learning experience for me and for you, but we do pretty good.

Mommy seems to be your favorite parent, but that is only because I am at home with you all the time while Daddy works. When we go somewhere you won't let anyone buckle your seatbelt for you. Actually you do up the chest piece and then you tell everyone else..."no, mommy!" Then when we get to where we are going you say the same thing. I try to get you to let Daddy take you out of the car, but you tell him "no, Mommy!" You are a pill when you want to be.

We have met some new friends, Ken & Betty. They are really nice and good people too! You really like them and when I tell you we are going to Ken & Betty's you will say "Kehn and Beh-yee" over and over again. It is really cute.

Of course I think that everything you do is cute, well.....almost anything you do is cute. You love to help out. And if you use the word "help" you will almost try to do anything. It's not funny when you dump the water out of the tub onto the floor...or when you get into the paint while we are trying to paint the house....or when you unpacked the boxes in the back room onto the floor in a big pile, but you are just so curious. I think that is going to be the key to my undoing. I am not sure, but I have always been curious and I wonder now if I gave my parents hell trying to learn all that I could.

Well, My Little Monkey....I will tell you more about yourself later.
I love you with all my heart and soul,
Love Mommy!
