Adam : Jun 27, 2010 Happy Birthday to me!   

I'm turning 2 tomorrow. I had a great birthday party yesterday with Nana & Grandpa Dobbs, Great Gma Shum, Micky and Jenny. We had hotdogs, mac n' cheese, corn on the cob, and green jello for dinner. I liked blowing out my candles, but I especially liked the ice cream. I got lots of toys. A remote control choo choo, an elmo alphabet school bus, a tool set, and a car ramp. I loved opening my presents.

I had a good time with mommy home and the Burks visiting this past week. We went to the zoo, played with water balloons, played in the sprinkler, and played with my play kitchen. I got a little stressed at the end of the week because I'm not used to sharing. I guess I'll have to work on that now that I am two. Mommy, Becky, Trevor and I went to my first movie on Wednesday night to see Toy Story 3. Ten minutes into the movie the tornado sirens went off and we had to wait in the womens bathroom. Then we had to run out when we had a chance and drive home as fast as possible. We waited out the tornado warning in the basement for 1.5 hours. What a night!

Well, I'm catching up on my rest after a busy week.

Wow! I woke up yesterday morning and mommy and daddy told me I had a surprise. I was very worried because the last time they told me I had a surprise it was David, and I just don't think there are enough cribs in the house to handle another surprise like that right now. So, I very cautiously made my way downstairs to the family room and WOW there it was...my deluxe kitchen set. Mommy and Daddy have been on my case lately for trying to cook in their oven and use their dishwasher and microwave. Now I have a whole kitchen of my very own. My favorite part is the sink (I like to pretend to wash my hands and fill my cups up with water) and the phone that I can pick up and hang up. I pick it up and say "Uwwo" and then hand it to mommy or daddy. You see it's never for me. I like to put things in the microwave and then push the buttons while saying "tee tee tee." I spent the whole day yesterday cooking in my kitchen. I didn't even want to play outside. David likes that I have my new toy because I'm so busy in the kitchen that he has free reign over all of the other toys. Win, win!

Other news, I've started to sing my ABC's. I can really only say A, C, E, G, S, X(which is also S), and Z. My favorite is S. I'm always ready at that part of the song. My other favorite song is wheels on the bus. I love it when the wipers go "Swish swish swish" and when the horns go "beep beep beep." I am starting to say a lot these days including Hot, Uwwo (hello), No (in response to someone asking me a question), yes, Achoo, etc.

David is doing well. He's really fast these days. I keep busy just tryign to keep all of my toys away from him. His favorite thing to do is crawl up to something and stand up on his knees. I also have fun with David (but don't tell him that) sometimes I'll just be running around and I catch David watching me and laughing. I like having him with me at bath time because I can splash him with water and after he catches his breath he starts laughing (phew that means I'm not in trouble if he laughs about it). Also, I like to kick my ball and send David chasing after it. It keeps him busy.

Well, that's it for now. You'll have to come visit and I'll whip you up my specialty -- plastic eggs, plastic apple and a cardboard box cooked in my microwave, with a side of tea sprinkled with pepper. Mmm...Mmm...
