the cat in the hat

i try to pretend sometimes that i do not know what my parents are saying, but this is proof that i understand what they ask of me....shucks!

peanut butter mouth & bed head

new shuuuuuu!

look! i got a new pair of shoes - just like my cousin lussi's orange pair (i even have the same size!!!) when we were at the kiosk in the mall, my mama and aunti-peee had me try on a few different colors and a couple different sizes - but once i had these green ones on, there was NO WAY i was going to let my mom take them off to try gray! that was it - i decided that i wanted these green ones. now i wear them everyday, all day long - sometimes even with my pajamas (but not in bed, of course.)

hangin' (with) lus(si)

my cousin came down for an overnight trip. on sunday morning we went out for breakfast and then went the playground in loring park. lussi made the wise decision of playground over sculpture garden - although we may have had the most fun running around the garden that had an inside and outside brick loop. by the end of the morning we were both pretty tired! papa managed to get one picture on his cell-phone before i got antsy.

happy mama's day

hi (uncle) kai!

my mom talks about all of my aunts and uncles, but kai's is the first whose name i can manage. beyond that, i shorten phonsavan to "P-eee" and brit to "B-eee" -- cory gets a "k" sound and that is about all i have patience for right now.

ps. notice the new vimeo format? amanda and anne have been using vimeo and i absolutely LOVE the fact that the video is frame-less while it plays! beautiful detail! so, i've decided to try it out myself... so far much easier than photobucket!

round glass - smoothie face

as you have probably already determined, i LOVE smoothies. another thing that i LOVE is doing things by myself - particularly drinking a smoothie out of an adult-glass. this morning i kept turning the glass every time i took a drink, so that all sides of the glass became covered with smoothie - consequently it started to get on my face and created a ring-of-sorts that my mama thought was cool/funny. you can also see that i gave my papa a lesson on how to ask for more (in sign) ... i don't know how the camera was fast enough to catch such a thing!

below is a video documenting my obsession with cookies - well, at least my obsession for asking for cookies. i've come to terms with the frequency with which i actually obtain one.

and full of all sorts of tricks
