To the tire store and the bank with mum

by jake on September 2, 2010

Yes, to the tire store and the bank with mum. Mum had to get the car fixed and go to the bank, and of course i went with her!

Mum wonders if i should just sit in the stroller,  rather than wander around. I do tend to wander around and sometimes i even try to run out of the store!  Mum still has problems keeping me near her.  Yes, i still run off the driveway and to the sidewalk.

Actually the other day, i ran to the neighbors yard, while riding my bikeable!

The apartment i live in  is being fixed and i enjoyed the day, hanging out with the workers. No one seemed to mind as long as i sorta did not get toooooooooooo in the way!  However early in the morning, when the apartment was being painted, i went and touched the wall!

The nice landlady brought over lunch for all the workers,and told mum to give me some juice. She told me to take the bottle home and fill my cup…so that is what mum did, and i carried the bottle  all the way home!

This is not my cup, cuz mum fillled my cup in the house…..but i  wanted to have my juice with the workers!  They did not mind i hung round them  all day long.

It’s juicy…..juice….box!

by jake on August 30, 2010

I love juice and mum  got me for the first time….juice box.  I have not had one yet, but it looks good! She did not let me drink  too much juice but she let me taste it a few weeks ago, and now i  know to ask for it in the frig er ator……   She only lets me drink a little bit.

When she brought  home the juice box, i played with the two boxes on the floor,  i used them as if they were my trucks and cars!

Mum wanted to grow tomatoes this year, and got three small plants. They are not big plants yet but at least the plant did not die.  Finally after a  few weeks the tomato that came with the plant got red and ripe!  I got to pick it!

IMG_8589

This is the one that is begging to be picked!

IMG_8608

the offering!

IMG_8596

Woooow,  one red tomato, kid jake size!

comparing tomatoes…i plucked one from the other plant and it is not ripe!  I do not know when to pick.  I just thought it was fun to pick!…pluck!

jake r doodle dandy smiles!!!!!!!!!!!…i love all the cool things i am learning and being a  part of……  mum is  trying to grow squash….she wanted zucchini but the neighbor  in the house next to our apartment,  only had left over patty pans.

She is my neighbor and she is the friendly lady upstairs to where  mum and i live.  Her name is Viktoria and she is from Sweden! She was always saying hi to me, and i was shy at first.  She was so very nice and one day, i decided to like her. I would go up  to her apartment and hang out.

Yesterday, she told us she had to move. How sad. Mum and her are going to keep up being friends on Facebook, so that is good, and she is not moving far away. I still will miss her.

I love my walking, talking gorilla!

by jake on August 28, 2010

I got this when i was a two year old, i think…..i know i was young young!…..   Uncle Mark and Aunt Posey in Washington Dc [papa brother is mark] gave it to me.  I was scared of it long ago.  Now this is  one of my fave toys!  I love to press the button and  see it grrrrrr and move.  I hug it too and laugh and laugh and laugh!

IMG_8529

IMG_8532

I used to give to mum to activate, i could not figure out how he ….got turned on! I know to press his lil paw!

IMG_8534

He shuffles when he walks….sooooooooooooo funny!

IMG_8535

I love to make it move towards me….it is soooo   ‘living’

jake r doodle dandy kisses and lots of laughs!…. i like stickers now too.   I used to  go to a store, Trader Joes and get balloons  [ i love balloons]  but now they do not give balloons, they give stickers!  I did not like stickers.  I get them from the doctor office too.  Stickers were no fun for  me, when i was only 2 years old!   What in the world are stickrs?  Now i like them and last night i used all the ones  mum saved for me, from TJ and stuck them all over her!

pss, still no new news on the toilet train thing…I am perfectly  happy with the diaper…yesterday, i went in my diaper and told mum…..later  in the day, i went and  did not tell mum!  She kept asking me ….”did  you go poo?” and i said..”no” every single time!  Finally she figured the smell was too icky and checked.  She made me take a shower!

Fun in the pool on a hot …HOT day!

by jake on August 27, 2010

The other day was sooo  HOT in california, and mum set up my pool.  I am allowed to play in it, but only if the sun is not shining cuz she does not want me to get sun burned! In the late afternoon, about, 7 PM, i  went out to sit in the pool.  I normally just stand outside the pool and fill my containers, but it was sooooooooooooooo HOT, i went inside and sat in the water.  Hey, i am very smart, okay!  Sitting in the pool water, diaper and all, was very  cooling!

I see papa…….on skype

by jake on August 26, 2010

Papa calls on skype now, so mum and me can see him……’live….and in living color.’   Mum and me love that very much.  When i hear the skype bell  ring, i  immediately say……”papa”

Before papa came home for my 3rd birthday a week ago, i would say ….papa when the phone rings or the skype  bell rings….i was learning who papa was………there is only one papa!

Yesterday, i talked more on the real phone when he called too!  I told him  i love him, i miss him and told him about  my toys and said bye papa.  Sometimes it is hard to understand my conversation, but papa gets the good stuff out of it!

papa is always silly on the skype….he is like a kid sometimes!  It is good to be an adult kid, especially since papa has to work so hard with adults all day long!

i kiss the monitor to give papa a kiss, but when papa sees it, it is the  top of my head, cuz i should be kissing the camera that is on top of the monitor!

jake r doodle dandy kisses  and more kisses!!!…one is for papa!

I got new shoes

by jake on August 25, 2010

Yes, and it is a big deal, cuz papa bought them for me.  I only see him every two or so months, so anything about papa and me is worth sharing!  He got me and mum new shoes, in California!  He got himself new shoes in Texas!

Mum and me love our new shoes!  Mum hopes i fit them for a long time!
