Still warm summer weather

Yes, the TX summer is definitely here.

Babba is back home now. A day at Woodland's Mall.

Warm summer weather

Summer is here...the real Texas summer heat is here..... Fortunately, we have a little pool to help us cool down.

We have to go inside every now and then to really cool down.



Our little vegetable garden.
And... our orange tree. So far, we have one, little and green orange.
Flowers for mamma's birthday.

Happy Fathers Day

Looking better

Hi, my face is looking better now.
Enjoying the evenings and weekends at home. Playing outside until bedtime, reading books, watcing tv, coloring, writing and a trip to the pool.

We're playing

Annika's new jumper.
I don't need one, as I naturally jump and run all over the place.
Mamma and I posing for the camera.
Annika likes to watch me.
I love my baby sister.
No problem.

Benjamin and the planter box

I played outside on the patio this evening and fell and hit my face on the corner of the planter box. I cried because it hurt really bad and my face was bloody. At first, mamma and babba thought, I'd hurt my eye as well. Thankfully, my eye is fine.

I feel better now and am told, I look a little bit like a cool James Bond, after he beat up all the bad guys!

Annika

Mamma and I took Annika to the doctor this morning for her 6month check up. Everything went well and I was a really good boy - all though Annika didn't care for the needles.

Annika and I have a little cold right now. Our lungs are clear and no fever, which is good. Unfortunately, Annika has an ear infection in her left ear. Oh... we saw a couple of white buds on her lower gums this morning! Now, she will be able to bite hard! Gotta keep my fingers away from her mouth.

She now weighs 14lbs 4 3/4oz, almost triple her birth weight and she is 26 1/2in long - 9 inches longer since birth.

I stepped on the scale this morning too 31 1/2lbs - Great!!... I have been trying to get above 30lbs for so long.

Hugs and kisses

Tuck and Tumble Show

Last week was my Tuck and Tumble gymnastics finale. We've been practicing for months. In my group were Leo, John and I. We introduced ourselves and showed a couple of skills each.
Here is my handstand.
At the end of the show, medals were handed out to everyone. I received one medal and one 2nd place ribbon.
Here are two of my friends: John and Zoe.
Annika came to watch me. She had a good time too

I write cards by myself

I am very interested in letters and numbers and love to sit down and write on papers and cards. I like to write cards to mamma, babba and Annika. Sometimes, I will leave the cards on their bedside tables and I smile and giggle, when they find the cards. One day, mamma and I wrote cards and I wanted to write: I love you to everyone. Mamma stepped away from the table and I continued to practice my letters. I still needed some help and asked how to spell: I love Babba. Mamma, across the room, spelled out: "I.......L..O..V..E........B..A..B..B..A.."

Minutes later, I'd written this card, all by myself!:
I LOV BAAAB, BEn :)
