Kansas City Thanksgiving

We are back from our holiday adventures! Mom, Dad and I flew "home" as they like to call it but I am not sure why. My home is in Arizona! It was fun visiting Iowa and Kansas City but boy I'll tell you what--cold weather is not my favorite thing! You have to wear so many more clothes and you don't get to go outside very much. I am not sure how I feel about that! I got to play with a lot of fun people and see a lot of fun places though and that made up for it. Here are some pictures of my adventures. We still didn't get to see all the people and places we had planned for--we will have to try again next time! Can't wait to get back and visit again. Happy belated Turkey day. Hope you were all stuffed and happy this past week!

Thanksgiving Day

Iowa Thanksgiving

The first stop on our Thanksgiving extravaganza was Grammie and Poppy C's house in Iowa. We weren't there for very long but we sure crammed in a lot of fun in a short amount of time. I got to play with my cousin Lilly, Uncle AJ and Aunt Dana every night. Lilly is growing so fast! The next time I see her she will be chasing after me. We also headed back to the zoo, I just can't get enough of that place! We were able to spend an afternoon at the Children's Museum too. I loved just spending time with my family the most. I can't wait to get back to see everyone! Miss you already.

Elmo

On Sunday we joined my friends at My Gym and had a playdate with Elmo! What fun that was and I wasn't scared at all. I ran right up to him and said "La-La!!" (that's Coleman code for Elmo). You know the theme song for Elmo's World? "La, la, la, LAA, la, la, la, LAA Elmo's World." We'll instead of just saying Elmo I shortened it and just say "La-La". Anyway, I had a blast playing with Elmo, seeing my friends and jumping on all the equipment. At the end of the day they even had a firetruck for us to play on. So many buttons to push--my idea of a perfect toy!

A visit from Grammie

My Grammie came to visit me this week and we had so much fun! We played outside everyday and I taught her how to shovel rocks and throw a football. We were so sad to see her go today but guess what? We are getting on an airplane next week to visit her and Poppy AND my Nana and Papa Bear. What a treat!

My Great Grandpoo Smith and Auntie Shelly came down from Phoenix to visit us for the day. I had a lot of fun showing them my toys and telling them all kinds of stories. Can't wait until we see each other again!

Tucson Zoo

This week Grammie, Mom and I joined my playgroup at the Tucson Zoo. I have decided that I just want to live there and be one with the animals. Mom already calls me her monkey man so I think I would fit in nicely. I loved running around and talking to all the animals. My favorite part was feeding the giraffes--look at how long their tongues are!! I kept putting the biscuit all the way in the giraffes mouth and then pulling it back out. The zoo keeper said she had never seen someone so fearless. That's me--Zoo Keeper Coleman, fearless animal trainer!

My big boy bike

Grammie sure knows how to spoil a boy! She bought me my first big boy bike this week. I loved being her helper when she put it together, especially when it came time to using the hammer. I kept running off with it! I can almost push it by myself--I'm getting really good at rocking it back and forth. Give me a couple more days and I will be an expert bike rider. Watch out!!

My new wheels

Mommy said she would never let it happen...too many germs, not enough wipes. Daddy on the other hand must have forgotten the rules because he actually let me take a ride in the car shopping cart!! Now I can't get enough. I even scoot to the middle so I can drive with both steering wheels. So cool. Trips to the grocery store will never be the same. Mom says "thanks so much dad", but she didn't really sound excited when she said it. I wonder why?

The Kleenex

Can you tell I have been sick lately? We have used a lot of Kleenex's at our house the last couple of weeks, luckily I have become a pro at it. Now when I find Kleenex's laying around I have to use them all up...and yes I throw them all away in the trash!

Hut, Hut, Hike

Are you ready for some football?! I am always ready! This is my new best friend, Football, or as I like to call him "Ffff". I like to take him where ever I go. I also enjoy a good throw and a bounce followed by a "touchdown" sign of course!

Halloween

Since I was sick I didn't really feel like trick or treating. I played in front of the house for a few minutes but then I was ready to go back in. Oh well--the candy will have to wait until next year. I sure did like my dragon costume though, my wings and tail were my favorite part!

Sick, Sick, Sick!!!

Mommy is so sorry she hasn't posted lately...but things have been a little crazy at our house! For the last two weeks I have been a sick little guy. It started out with wheezing, a runny nose and breathing treatments, which led to a fever, which led to pneumonia. You would think it would have stopped there but it didn't! I had an allergic reaction to my antibiotic so then I had to get a shot in my leg. Boo-Hoo! On top of all that my molars are finishing coming in and my eye teeth are following their lead. It is rough stuff being a baby. On Monday I started acting like myself again which has made mom and dad so happy! Here are some pictures of me at the doctors office (one of many visits over the last two weeks). This was on Halloween right before I got my shot. I knew it was coming!
