Luck O' The Irish
Well, as Luck o' The Irish would have it, I had a fun week thanks to the great weather we had! I put on my "Lucky Dog" t-shirt and Mommy even borrowed me her special shamrock sunglasses that her girlfriends wore to Cabo San Lucas three years ago. She commented on how things sure have changed since then! In case you are wondering, I am German, Swedish and Swiss, but no Irish blood is in this body. I guess it doesn't matter since many people still celebrate the day by wearing green and drinking green stuff.
I am quite the ham these days when Mommy takes her camera out. I love to say, "CHEESE" and squint my eyes real small. If you look close enough to the picture above, you will notice that my left eye looks strange. More to come on that below...
It is no wonder I am a walking accident. At any given time, I have a bruise somewhere on my body, especially my face. Mommy decorated the house for Easter and she found my carrot/car Easter basket from last year. I thought it would be fun to put this on my head, to serve as a hat, and then run as fast as I could in a big circle. Luckily, no injuries occurred, just silly pictures.
Uncle Jimmy turned 28 on Saint Patrick's Day. He has always been blessed with extra luck, most likely because he was born on this day. We went to Grandma and Grandpa's house to have a little birthday BBQ and ice cream cake to celebrate. It was fun to see my cousins, aunt, uncle, Jim and Karri, and grandparents. I had a great time, until the big accident.
I was running, FULL steam ahead in the living room, tripped on my Tupperware Shape Sorter, and flew head first into the end table. It made a huge crash, then a long pause followed, and finally I screamed for a good 5 minutes. As Luck O' The Irish would have it, I nailed my eye, not my mouth, so I still have teeth. Another lucky plus to this story is that my eyebrow did not split open, so I didn't go to the hospital and need stitches. The end result was a big, fat, puffy eyelid. I refused an ice pack on my face, so Mommy and Daddy were quick to get the Motrin and give me some medication and loves. Shortly after my huge spill, my cousin Sam took a spill on the driveway. We had a little nurse's station in the kitchen for a few minutes, so we posed for a few snapshots.
We decided to pose a bit happier for this one since Mommy was acting silly and pleaded with me to show my silly "Cheese" smile. This is all she got from me.
At first look, you would never know how bad my eye appeared. If I look right at you, I have a droopy eyelid (kind of like a tough guy boxer), but when I look down, I am a diva with purple and pink eyeshadow.
Here is my fabulous, fake smile and a real good look at my eye. The swelling went down after a few days and now my bruise is changing colors. It is quite beautiful to see all the colors it can turn. Mommy decided to skip the Easter pictures at Sharp this year with their live bunny due to my injury.
The wonderful weather I mentioned at the start of the blog prompted us to take a trip to Irvine Park. We love the nice walking trails, playground and animals. It was a nice afternoon to check out the scenery.
The whitetail deer were very friendly the day we visited and came right up to the fence to look at us, or maybe my eye. We had to be very quiet, which is a challenge for me, since I am only 21 months and don't know what quiet means (or at least my parents don't think I know what quiet means.)
I thought the deer were pretty neat. Most importantly, an insider from a local department of resources informed Mommy that a wolf was spotted at Irvine, tranquilized and relocated. Apparently, it liked to eat animals in the park as much as I like to eat Goldfish crackers and fruit snacks. This was not leaked to the media for fear of the reaction by the community. Mommy sure is happy that we didn't see the big bad Wolf in the woods and Daddy probably wishes he had his rifle in case he did. On a positive note, I look forward to seeing the farm animals, at least the ones who did not become the wolf's snack, on our next visit. We think the farm animals are busy have babies or might be resting for a few more weeks.
On Wednesday, Jenny took us outside to take advantage of early spring weather. Justice, a past daycare child, came with her Mommy to play with us too. I really like Justice and talk about her at home a lot ("Justice bye-bye" mostly). Jenny has a little plastic jungle gym that is my favorite climbing apparatus. She has a big one too, but I am a little afraid of the big slide and swings on there. This confirms Mommy's hopes at this time, which is they only need to buy a smaller play gym, bigger than the one pictured above, but my parents will wait another year before installing a big swing set.
One of my favorite outdoor toys at Jenny's is the roller-coaster. This surprises my parents because I can be a scaredy cat when it comes to certain things. I can also be a dare-devil, so you never know what you are going to get from me. I like the unpredictability of my actions... it keeps everyone guessing.
This picture is proof that I did go down the roller-coaster, about a trillion times and would ask for "more" once I got to the bottom.
Of course I had to take turns with Mason. He is Jenny's little boy and we are just 4 months apart. Mason is two years old and he really loves the camera. I must be learning all my stunts from him. Mason zooms really fast down the ramp. I am definitely not at his caliber or comfort level yet, but in a few short weeks, I wouldn't be surprised to see some other injury on my body thanks to the roller-coaster.
Jenny also has a big trampoline and don't worry... it has a net around it. I love to jump like a monkey. I can jump until I can't jump anymore and it is safe, unlike the beds in our house. The only thing I need to do is be careful not to jump on Justice's or Mason's head! I asked my Daddy for a trampoline and he said, "No Way!" I guess I will resort to jumping in my crib and on my parents bed, with their permission of course.
I think Spring teased us a bit, because it was sooo nice outside and now is MUCH cooler. I have to wear my coat, hat and mittens again when going out. We hope the warm weather returns soon! We are headed to Florida in just a few weeks for a vacation on the beach and warm weather will sure welcome us there. 
Mommy's cousin, Emily, is also expecting a little boy in Spring. Emily is due a month before Mommy and this will be her first baby. The girls (Mommy, auntie, Grandma, and extended family) had a baby shower for Emily and this made Mommy excited about all those cute clothes and baby toys that are stored away at our house. Mommy wants to point out how L-O-W her tummy is compared to Emily's belly. They are both having boys, are one month apart, and still, it looks like Mommy's tummy is nearly down to her knees. She is feeling good but is just shy of entering her third trimester... the dreaded, swollen, uncomfortable, out of breath, ... time of pregnancy. The baby is pretty easy going and likes to kick her in the belly at night. He sounds like a raccoon to me. Let's hope he switches his days and nights around soon! Mommy has her glucose test in a week and a half and she is keeping her fingers crossed that she passes. She didn't have any complications with this while pregnant with me, but her sweet cravings of chocolate and ice cream might catch up to her this time. Next weekend, we are having family maternity pictures taken, so I will post a few pictures once we receive our proofs! Finally, the baby's nursery bedding is on order and should be here soon. We chose a PBK farm theme and the painting will soon follow once our bedding and colors arrive. We can't wait to get the room ready for my little brother! Thanks for tuning in this week!
