I am getting much better at eating with a spoon. Thats not to say that I still don't make a huge mess and eat the majority of my meal with my hands, but at least I can use the spoon if needed. Here I am eating a very balanced diet:

When I'm not eating ketchup, I like to read. I have a lot of books to get through, and I say goodbye to each one when I am done with it (unfailingly polite).

One of my books has a lot of animal noises in it. Usually I know that the singing pigs say 'la la la' but I decided to mix it up a bit here.

There is also a video of me on Amelia's blog. I really, really wanted to say hi to her. Scroll down about halfway to find it!

I'm 18 months old!
Time flies, doesn't it? It seems like just yesterday that I was Studs, and now I'm 18 months old! I don't go to the doctor until next week so I can't tell you how big I am, but last week I had to stop by and pay the doctor a quick visit and she said that I weighed 24.5 pounds.
Its kind of hard to believe that in 6 months, I'm going to be TWO. That sounds so old!
Here are some pictures that my teacher Ms. Lauren took of me at school. They did this for a Father's Day project and Mommy and Daddy both seemed to really like it. I'm totally going to be a scientist when I grow up if it means that I'll get to wear safety glasses.
Ms. Lauren had her last day on Friday (sniffle!) which is sad, but I'll get to see baby Amelia on her blog!

Lost my Marbles
Last weekend, Mommy and Daddy and I went to Marbles Kids Museum in Raleigh with my friends from school. We haven't been there before because its kinda far away, and the Museum of Life and Science is right around the corner. But Marbles was definitely way cooler.
First of all, there were these cool steps that we all played on. My friends and I ran back and forth and yelled a lot.
That would have been worth the price of admission on its own, but there was actually more stuff inside the museum. Like a big bus.
Only it wasn't really a bus, it was a slide!
The slide slid into a whole big area that was just full of stuff. It was complete toddler chaos. I mean, I hardly even saw my friend Ike while we were there, or any of my friends, really. There was so much to see! Like, a car that was Buggle-sized (and apparently had seats upholstered by Holly Aiken, who makes these cool bags that Mommy wants.
There was also a little area where you could do some gardening.
And then we found my favorite area, the grocery store.
The only reason I left the cash register at all is because Mommy and Daddy made me share with someone who was waiting. Next we went to an area that had lots of wooden blocks to stack - my favorite!
There were also some cool wooden trucks and cars with people in them.
We did finally tear ourselves away from the toddler chaos area and look at some of the rest of the museum. There was a big pirate ship, right in the middle of the museum!
Daddy tried to sell me to some pirates, but they didn't go for it, so he made me walk the plank.
Then we found this TOTALLY AWESOME huge Connect Four game. I don't know what the whole point of the big thing behind me was though. I connected four on the floor.
Then we went upstairs where there was an exhibit about school in Japan.
We had so much fun at Marbles that I totally didn't take a nap for the rest of the day. Wooooo!

Weekend fun
The other weekend, Mommy, Daddy and I went over to my friend Carson's house. Carson had some cool blocks that I was stacking. I'm a big fan of stacking, by the way. HUGE. Stacking is one very exciting thing (whether it is blocks, books, whatever), and the other exciting thing is opening and closing things, putting things in and taking them out.
Anyway. You can see that this was during the time when it was 80 zillion degrees in North Carolina, because I am sweating like crazy. And my hair is so fine, you can totally see it. Well, block stacking is quite hard work.
While we were at the party, we had a big thunderstorm. Carson's grandparents live a few miles away, and they called and told us that they were having big hail at their house. Daddy and our neighbor (who was also at the party) had both left their cars in the driveway, so they ran home in the pouring rain to put them in the garage. Meanwhile, we were still at Carson's house, standing outside watching the hail fall. It was neat, and it was pretty big - ping pong ball sized? I just kept saying "Wow! Wow! WOOOOOOW!" Daddy and our neighbor did not make it home in time, so they got hit with hail. I think we're lucky that they didn't get knocked out.
Another fun thing that happened during the storm was that the power went out. It was getting close to my bedtime anyway, so we headed home. I had to help everyone find their way back home.

I'm in the newspaper!
Yesterday we went to Mommy's concert at the American Tobacco Campus. It was a free concert for Fathers' Day: Pops for Pops!
While we were waiting, I walked around with Daddy. There was a photographer for the newspaper (the Herald Sun) there who wanted to take our picture, so he followed us while we walked around, looked over the bridge, etc. He told us to check the paper today to see if we got in!
On our way to school this morning, we all stopped at the gas station to pick up a copy of the newspaper. And there I was, on page 3C!
Pretty neat, huh?

New pics
It has been pointed out to me (by G-G) that I have not updated my blog in a little while. This is partly because I forgot and partly because Mommy got some new fun games for her Wii and she's still a little bit obsessed with them, thus not too much extra time for blogging.
Anyway, here are some pics from a couple of weeks ago when I had a big, exciting day. First we went to Pullen Park for a birthday party. It was one of my friends from school's party, he was 2. (TWO! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? Thats so old.) My friend Ike was in my class then too (he isn't anymore though, bummer) so we all went together in Daddy's car.
When we were there, I got to play with some baseball stuff, like a good little American boy.
Then Mommy took me on the Merry-go-round, which was pretty fun, although we both didn't fit so great on this horse (neigh)(I can't say "horse", but I can sure say "neigh"!).
After the party we drove home and took a nap. Then we had ANOTHER party to go to! This one was for my Aunt Sheri, who used to work with Mommy, except she's decided to go back to school AGAIN, and also took the summer off to go laze around in Brazil and teach molecular biology or something.
My friend Ike was at this party too. He got there before me, but I guess it was boring so he was pretty happy to see me.
Here's a picture of me and Mommy with Aunt Sheri.
Ike and I had fun going in and out of the screened-in porch.
Before we went home, we had some cake because it was also Aunt Sheri's birthday. Mommy's friend Gil hung out with me and helped me eat cake. Yum!
