Enough about me..how about Mommy and Daddy

I spend a lot of time documenting my daily travels through toddler-hood. But I don't want people to think it's all about me. In fact, I am very much aware that a sibling is on the way. So long as that sibling knows the pecking order, we'll get along just fine. So let's focus a little on my mommy and daddy, who are the bestest in the world! These are some random pictures of them throughout the years! I love them so much! Enjoy!

This is the first picture my mommy and daddy ever took together

This is the wedding of my mommy and daddy

This is the Class V rapid my daddy says he almost died in after being thrown out. My mommy said he over-reacted. Of course mommy.

This is Reds Ace Aaron Harang....oh, and my mommy too.

This is a trip with friends to Jamaica! See me? I'm in mommy's belly.

Mommy and daddy's honeymoon in Playa Del Carmen.

I have the best looking mommy and daddy! And you ask where I get my good looks? HA!

Chillin with my Cuz!

Today, Daddy took my cousin Nolan and I to the Newport Aquarium. It was just the three of us. Nolan and I were commiserating how nice it is to not have our two mothers around. Although we would never tell them, it sure is nice not to have to worry about "them worrying" all the time. ie:

"You need a jacket", "Where's your hat", "Did you pack some fruit with that?", "Change your diaper", "Watch your head", Wash your hands", "How many times have I told you _________".....you get the point!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

With just Daddy, Nolan and I, we had one objective....HAVE FUN!!!

 

Daddy made us hydrate ourselves before we entered the aquarium.

This poor kid was so jealous of Nolan. Probably a poor schlep-rock from Oregonia.

This is the two of us at the Penquin Parade!

This is Nolan and I watching the Penquins at the Aquarium

Hey G, you see what I see?

Hey Graham, stay right here, I think those 2 year-olds over there are single! They got some very cute diapers on!

All good things must come to an end...Mommy/Aunt Natalie came home.

My mommy said this might be my real daddy. I don't know what that means.

Cincinnati Reds Opening Day

The Tradition Continues

Monday April 6th, 2009

Findlay Market Opening Day Parade, The Reds, The Pageantry and most importantly....Me and Daddy! The Opening Day Tradition with my Daddy - Season II

 

The view from our Opening Day seats! AWESOME!

As you can see, last year was a little tough on my daddy.

But he made sure I was warm.

When I needed a nap, I called on Auntie

This is my friend Ben. He can't go this year.

This is a cool picture. Man, I can't wait!

 

Daddy got me a really cool magazine!!!

Daddy, why is that girl wearing my dental floss?

Uhhhhhhhhhh..................................................

This is my best friend CJ

     

CJ wasn't well behaved during this photo shoot. But I was able to calm her down after a short "session" in the other room.

Violation of the Ohio Revised Code

Today I was charged with a violation of the Ohio Revised Code

4507.05 Temporary instruction permit - temporary instruction permit identification card.

My Plea: GUILTY on all charges. Sorry judge, but when it's February and temp's are in the 60's, I'm going for a ride! Hope your cruisers go at least 1 mph, cause I was flyin!

  

Mommy and Me - A Simple Slice of Heaven!

It starts with a kiss.

Then her glasses.

Then, you must look cool.

Then you put them back on.

Then a hug.

   

And then a little time to ponder how special my mommy is to me!

Have you met my Auntie?

If you haven't met my Auntie, this is your chance. She is one of a kind! Before I show you some recent pictures of her and I, let me share something with you. You see, I'm a lot smarter than your average 13 month old. Anytime Auntie and I hang out, people keep calling her a different name. They keep saying "Angela". I'll tell ya something, I really think the common sense of our society is eroding. I am 13 months old and apparently the only one who knows her real name...Auntie. Geez Louise!

Auntie, I don't know what this is, or what it's for but man, this is a blast!

I'm serious Auntie, this is awesome!

Ok, this is where I draw the line! Hello? Auntie? You there? Hey!!!!

This is Auntie with my cousin Nolan. We're pretty good friends too. He and I already have code names for each other once the ladies start calling. I think they're original, but tell me what you think. Maverick and Goose! You ladies have lost that love and feeling!!

Baby Blue Eyes

When children are young, it's the small things that you remember most. Graham has always loved his hats. In the morning, it's the first thing he wants. In the evening, it's the last thing he does.

Looking back....

Daddy and I took a stroll down memory lane today. He said I could pick my favorite picture of 2008, providing he could pick his favorite. We had a deal!! And the winners were..............

 

        My Favorite - Papa and me

 

                   Daddy's Favorite

 

All deals from this point on, have been declared invalid!!

Wiggles are Money!

Don't listen to my daddy!

Night out with my peeps!

Every so often, I overhear parents talk about this need to get out of the house for some "R and R" or "Alone Time" or "Adult Time". You see, this isn't my first rodeo. I'm hip to what that means. In fact, truth be known, I get a little tired of seeing the same faces myself. So this past weekend, I took some time to hang out with my peeps over at Rowan Clarke's house. She's a little older than most of us, but is very cute and buys milk for us sometimes, so we hang with her. Between you and I, there is another girl who I have my eye on, but my buddy Jake says he does too. At the end of day, he's just a Williams (and the son of Mr. Williams) so I think I can take him. But anyhoo, you'll see pictures of her below as well.

This is my buddy Jake. Have you seen two better looking studs? Don't make me call you a liar!

 

And here she is!!! Contrary to what Jake believes, this is my Sofia. "Sofiaaaaa, I just met a girl named Sofia!"

 

Hey Sofia, has Jake ever given you a stuffed monkey? 

 

Let's just get this over with!! Repeat after me: "With this monkey, I thee wed"

 

 

This is Rowan. She's kind of like our big sister.

 

So Jake, have you seen Sofia lately? Oh wait, she's right here NEXT TO ME!

 

Mrs. McLain "Wow Sofia, Graham has great taste! It's beautiful!"

Rowan- "You're right, it's beautiful!"

PEACE, NOT WAR!!!! LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS!!! MR. WILLIAMS, GET HIM OFF OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
