acrobat


my mommy thinks my legs look so long in this picture - how do i grow so fast???

i'm really into doing cart-wheels. i also do yoga with my momma (mostly i crawl under her legs when she's doing certain poses - but...) i can do downward dog (and even raise one of my legs while doing so!) --- but jumping is probably my FAVORITE thing!

apple farm on a perfect sunday morning






















magic


after spending sunday morning at the apple farm, we drove back to minneapolis and had a picnic lunch at lake calhoun. i was playing with mama's fork and thought it was pretty cool when it stuck out of my mouth...but look at what magically happened to be caught on film! i dropped the fork from my mouth right as papa snapped the picture and it appears to be floating!

" pay car " {i want to play cars}


my mommy was quick enough to capture this set-up during one of my playing-cars-sessions: Papa Mater is towing the garbage truck with a purple truck on top of it, while carrying Baby Mater on his head ... a line of cars is parading behind him in a line. {ps. mater is a tow truck and one of the characters from the cartoon movie CARS. i have two maters, so i call the big one "Papa Meo" and the small one "Bebe Meo"}

wedding fun - fun wedding






















we woke-up this morning and drove north to a morning wedding for one of my mama's friends. when we arrived, my cousin lussi ran up to me and gave me a big hug. i had so much fun playing with her outside in the midst of all the trees! the coolest thing is that i finally was able to get both of my feet off the ground in my FIRST ever JUMPS as a boy! look-out, here i come!

rice = "kao" {sticky rice = "kao neol"}
























double duty:


cold & hoT (with a strong 'T' at the end):

trees: branches & leaves


when my great-auntie Nona was visiting us for my birthday, she taught me how to draw tree-branches (the long line) with little leaves on them (the round circles & dots). she was suprised that i actually listened/watched her and then tried to do it myself. -- well, this drawing is for auntie-Nona ... i drew it today - which means i still remember what she taught me. (and for the record, my mom did not tell me to draw trees - she had nothing to do with the matter!)

framma banet {blanket from grandma}























my framma made me this quilt for my birthday. i love it! i like to sleep with it and watch Curious George with it. the coolest thing is there are farm animals on it and i can play a game of matching the same animal in different places. (see, i found 2 cows!) framma must have spent a lot of time cutting and sewing all the fabric (you should see how meticulous the sewing is!) and she made it just for ME, wow! -- "tuuuut - framma!!" (thank you, grandma)
