NJ Trip

We had a great trip up to NJ for our new cousin, Victoria's baptism. They had a lot of snow up there so we enjoyed that the first day we arrived. Daddy is trying to throw snowballs at grandpa Ed's shed to break the light....as he always does...

I enjoyed throwing snow in the fountain....

Grandma and Mimi were looking at the 1 lone fish in the pond...Grandpa and I were watching to see where Daddy's latest snowball hit...

Another day there, we enjoyed some time at the NJ Children's Museum.

Mimi liked the baby area...

We both liked the "house" play area.

Unfortunately our NJ cousins were a little sick while we were up there so we did not get to spend as much time with them as we would have liked. Brendan, Alexandra and Uncle Dan came up to Grandma and Grandpa's on Saturday so we could spend some time with them.

And Grandma added candles to the cookies so we could blow them out "just because"...

I got to read The Missing Piece, my favorite book, to Grandma and Grandpa...I think they enjoyed it!

Grandpa and I hiding out in the fort...

Sunday was the baptism. Danny and I had some time to talk before the ceremony...

Nad Brendan was sharing the love with Mimi.....:)

Aunt Alana, Victoria, Uncle Dan, Mommy and Omar (the godparents)

The Godparents and the lady of the day....

The Beldowicz clan (minus Omar) posing on Victoria's big day!

And we're off.....

We are headed to NJ this week to visit Grandma Mary and Grandpa Ed as well as attend our new cousin Victoria's baptism. So we thought we would share some random pictures from the last couple weeks before we go....and share all the pics from our trip when we get back!

Yes, this is the new signal that I am done with my meal...or at least that my plate is empty and I need more.

I am growing some flowers! I found this Cars planter at The Home Depot and it was a complete planting set. So I am watching and waiting...

This is about all the help I can give Mommy at this point when she bakes. She promised that as soon as I am really walking and standing up well that I can stand next to her. Fo now, I will enjoy the baking tools.

I love helping Mommy bake...I get to sample...I believe this was brownies!

A beautiful day last weekend and Mimi and I got to go for a ride in the wagon!

And on the days that have not been so nice...we brought in an outdoor pool and filled it balls and all of our friends!

Big thanks to Grandpa Wayne for the dry ice...of course, that is the part I enjoy! Daddy says thanks for the Lou Malnati's pizzas!

Daddy and I enjoyed some father son bonding time on the patio...talking and having a snack...

Happy Valentine's Day-here's my loot!

Happy Valentine's Day-ugh, all these holidays are so tiring!

Yes, even in my new booster seat I manage to get my feet up on the table...and if you look real close, you can see that I even get food all over them. Mom really loves that!

We had tree guys come today to prune all of our trees. So Mimi, Daddy and I watched out the window to make sure everything went smoothly

And then Mimi and I continued to discuss the trees...although, I am not sure she could really see everything...

FIRST STEPS!!!

I TOOK MY FIRST STEPS TODAY!!!!!!!!

Please watch closely because if you blink...you might miss it....Mommy got a little excited so they are short videos....but YAY for me!!

Loving the weather!!

To all our friends and family that are still suffering under the snow...we are sorry.... Please enjoy our pictures from the 65 degree weather we had this past weekend!

This is my first time on the patio-checking things out...I got to play outside!

Hank is helping me understand what I am not supposed to eat-what a good big brother!

A little sand box and squirt gun fun!

I love cream cheese!

I just love to eat!

"Mimi, no, don't touch my cars!!!!"

Ripken got a little fresh air and a walk in the warm weather....not sure if he enjoyed it or not...

Funny Faces, Smiles and Poses...

Hi-Sorry we have not posted in a while. We thought we would share some random poses and pictures that we have taken on these cold winter days while we are cooped up inside! Enjoy!

My glamour shots pose...

Hank just being goofy...

Now Mimi being goofy....

Mommy asked me to smile...and this is all I could come up with...

I had no problem smiling...look at all my teeth! 3 on top and 2 bottom!!

Chillin' out, relaxing on the bear chair watching Handy Manny

Thought you might enjoy a couple more snow photos...here is my homemade sled...yes, it is the lid to the garbage can!

Trudging through the frozen tundra!

A couple of videos of me...I love dancing and walking these days!!

SNOW DAY!

Yes, it snowed A LOT here last night and today! Daddy was out at 6:30am cleaning off the deck with a broom-since we don't own a snow shovel! And he was home on a Monday because they closed his office due to snow!

Another backyard view of the snow later in the morning...

Don't let that picture of Daddy shoveling fool you...he put me to work later this morning shoveling the sidewalk in front of the house. And on top of all this snow...freezing rain is coming down...and Daddy just found out he gets to stay home again tomorrow!

I loooooove putting my feet up on the table...

And not to be out done...Hank had to do it too!

Me again...after I pulled my sock off!

I kept busy with my tool bench today. Since we could not go anywhere I did a lot of repair work around the house.

Can you see my teeth...is my smile big enough? One on the bottom and 3.........yes 3 new teeth on top!
