Good Friday Post

Hi. Yesterday, I helped mommy bake scones. Don't give me crap about baking. I don't want to hear it. Anyhow, I found mommy's colorful mixing bowls that she heretofore had hidden from me. Needless to say, I took all of them out, along with every other mixing bowl mommy has, and started "cooking" the chocolates mommy had in the candy dish. Like any good chef, I had to sample my wares, as evidenced by the telltale sign on my face.

Ever since Hadley arrived, mommy has been saying things I've never heard her say before. Here are some examples:

• 1. Please take your toe out of your sister's mouth.
• 2. Please don't hit Hadley on the head.
• 3. Please don't try to pull Hadley's foot off.
• 4. Hadley doesn't like for you to use her as a train track.
• 5. Hadley doesn't like to bounce really high in the bouncer seat (see photo at bottom of post).
  

She also has issues with me "borrowing" Hadley's pink pacifiers.

I went on an Easter Egg Hunt today. It was pretty fun, and it got even better when I found a gocart in our neighbor's back yard. I really thought I found the prize egg when I set my eyes on that four wheeled wonder - and was really ticked off when mommy and daddy wouldn't let me play with it. Seriously, they are not much fun these days. Anyhow, I did manage to find some eggs. They had stickers and prizes in them, but, surprisingly, no candy (or at least they didn't after mommy opened the egg and handed the non-sugary contents to me).

Here's another picture of Hadley. She doesn't have her own blog yet, so I figured I ought to let you see how she is progressing. Mommy says I had to be 10 weeks old before I started blogging and that Hadley will probably get her own blog then, too. Until then, I should let you know that she has started rolling over. I say it is a fluke, but she's done it quite a few times, so mommy thinks it might be legit. She's such a showoff.

Revolving Door...of Grandparents

Having a sister is the best thing in the world - because almost all of my grandparents have come to see ME! Right after Ghee (Gran) left, Nana came for a week. We had a big time playing trains, going for walks, and playing basketball on the new goal she bought me. She also taught me how to say, "Helloooooo," which mommy thinks is really funny. We had so much fun and I was terribly sad when Nana had to go home. I sobbed all the way to church...until mommy put "Sexy Back" on the radio, which made me feel a little better. Three days after Nana left, Granddaddy came to visit. We watched NASCAR together, and he taught me how to crash my cars and trains into each other. It was really cool. We also watched "The Queen" with Helen Mirren, and I was completely enthralled. She truly deserved the Academy Award for her performance; and I feel it should be mandatory viewing for the 2-year-old set, rather than all that Baby Einstein business. Granddaddy left this afternoon, and I again sobbed inconsolably when he left. Daddy, on the other hand, was probably glad to see him go. Daddy apparently wasn't too thrilled that I kept calling Granddaddy "Dada." Daddy was so exasperated and kept saying, "Thatcher I'm your daddy!" Anyhow, here are some snapshots from our latest adventures. Nana and Gran have specifically requested that their pictures not be posted because I kept them so busy they rarely could make themselves camera-ready. I think they're crazy because they're always beautiful to me.
