So the first time we did the whole hair cut thing mom and dad went it alone. While it was not catastrophic, it was pretty close. They counted the minutes until that grew back. Well after starting to resemble a 70’s rock icon they decided it was time to give it another try; professional this time.

So while at the mall we got in line and gave it a go. Not ideal insofar as I didn’t love it. There was a bit of crying involved. Once I saddled up to dad’s lap though and didn’t have to look at the hair cut lady we were good to go. She sort of ran through the rest quickly leaving it a bit off. Dad gave the haircutting thing another go to finish it up and that worked out well. This time we were all happy.

So since everything is new in this world for me, it is hard for everyone to know what exactly is going to kick me into high gear. One such mystery is solved for sure; balloons! A quick lunch at a Red Robin (also a first for mom and dad actually thus making it an entire family first) yielded a globular rubber wonder which amused me entirely until mom let it fly out the window on the car ride home. Mean mommy. This was what happened prior to the untimely departure of my new found toy.

Mom and dad responded to a post online for a volunteer tent for the annual “try” athalon in the neighborhood. While I am a bit young for it, we volunteered for the tent donation and dad went down with me to check it out. Tons of kids doing all sorts of running, swimming, and biking all at a very early hour. I was literally jumping out of the stroller trying to get into it. Maybe not next year but soon, I am in.

All god things must come to an end. Alas Belvedere was no different. After a summer of london broil sandwiches, sangria, processed chicken pita sandwiches, lawn chairs, and Buffet cover bands we finally have to hang up the Mexican blanket and call it quits. It was really fun though. The crew was there with the addition of aunt Jenny’s dog Sadie. Pretty crowded this week but that was to be expected I presume. Until next year…

So mom and dad continue to push me around everywhere in the stroller, the blue car, whatever. Well I am 15 months now, I ain’t no baby no more. I jumped on out and insisted on pushing this thing myself. Actually, I have a blast when I am doing this. Dad is a little confused as to why but I am pushing this everywhere. Dad thinks it is hilarious.

Aunt Jenny and uncle Nik dropped off their old fish the other day and mom and dad have been trying to get me to use it. Well recently I have found a bit of fun on the thing. I have been going to it on my own now too. I am rocking out the fish man, rocking it out.

So yes, bristle blocks, they rock. Although dad seems to like them a bit more than I do. But h shares a bit. Dad says that he had these when he was a kid. No really, he doesn’t share. But we are finding a common ground now. Here is our airplane. Dad helped.
