First weekend at the cottage!!

Mommy and Daddy took me to the cottage FINALLY!!! They kept talking about this cottage we have but would never take me so finally we went this past weekend and I LOVED it!!! I got to play outside all day, play in the biggest sandbox I ever did see and splash in a very big pool!!














I loved playing in the sand. Mommy and I got to make big sand castles and she even buried ME in the sand. We had lots of fun together didn't we Mommy?!!?

We also had some friends come by and see us. My friend Megan and her Mommy Jan (Mommys friend from the Mommys Group) were in town visiting from Ottawa (they just moved up there a couple of months ago and we miss them lots!!) so they came over to our cottage to visit and Megan and I got to go down to the beach and play together!!










Here is a picture of Megan and her mommy in the lake swimming. Megan is such a fish ... all she wanted to do was go out to the deep part of the water and swim. She was giving her mommy and my mommy a heart attack every time she would go under but Megan thought it was so much fun. She helped me get over my fear of the water though! It looked like she was having so much fun, I wanted to do the same!! Thanks Megan for teaching me how to swim!! :)









After we got out of the lake we got to lie out in the sun and relax. Ahhhh ... we love the beach Mommy!!!

















After the beach we went back to my cottage and played for a little while before they had to go home. Thank you so much for coming to visit us Megan and Jan. We loved seeing you and we hope to see you guys again soon!!!

Learning to climb!!

Today I was watching my Daddy build our new fence and he was always going up and down this big ladder. Well it looked like alot of fun so Daddy finally showed me how to climb it!!

Here is me almost at the top!! Look Mommy I did it all by myself!!! (or at least I thought I did - Daddy was right behind me in case I fell!!) It was lots of fun though!! I feel like such a big boy now!

Eating Grown Up Food

Well I give my Mommy and Daddy lots of trouble at mealtime because I don't like very many foods ... my favourite thing right now is bread with jam!! Oh well ....

But Mommy has started giving me some adult things to eat and I'm starting to like them more because it makes me feel like I'm a big boy now!






I just started like corn on the cob ... it is very yummy!! This picture might look like I don't like it but I was just being funny for Mommy since she was taking so many pictures of me eating the corn! I ate all my corn and Mommy's and after every bite I would say "Mmmmmm!!!"

I also started liking yogurt (Mommy had to trick me and say it was ice cream) but now I really like it and I just started to learn how to feed myself with a spoon!! Its a little messy but I'll get the hang of it I'm sure!!

This picture is a little old but I love apples and I have to eat the WHOLE thing!! I'm not kiddin' I eat the core and all!! Mommy and Daddy try to take it away from me but I get very upset and will not let them take it away from me ... oh well Mommy thinks its great cause I'm finally eating something other than bread!!!

It was such a fun day and Grandpa (and Grandma) were so surprised. I had lots and lots of fun playing with my cousins and my Aunts and Uncles. All of them live so far away so I don't get to see them very often. Now that they have all gone home I miss them soo much. I hope you all come back soon to play with me again!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA!!!

I LOVE YOU LOTS!!!

Getting ready for the party!!

Grandpa Lidbetter turned 70 a couple of weeks ago and Mommy and Daddy had a surprise birthday party for hime. We had all my aunts and uncles coming to visit so I thought I would help Mommy do some cleaning.

I really like to Swiffer ... I think thats my favourite ...
