Spring Ballet Recital

The Ballerina

Last week I had the 2^nd big performance of my career.  I started off in the same fashion as I did for my Christmas performance.  That is, I got dressed up in my beautiful attire, put on my makeup, and then sobbed uncontrollably just prior to the rehearsal.  Unfortunately, I am too young to cope with these jitters through the use of alcohol or prescription drugs but I managed to pull myself together anyway and did surprisingly well during the rehearsal.  When it came time for the real performance, I was spectacular in remembering all of my moves and delivering them with confidence.  Even Mommy and Daddy were surprised.  Grandma, Poppy and Aunt Lori also came to my performance.  We left Ty at home with our babysitter but maybe next time he can watch me dance.  

Ty is a growing little man.

Ty had his 18th month check up recently and he dominated. He weighs 32 lbs which puts him in the 95th percentile and his height is 32 inches which puts him in the 90th percentile. He refers to Mommy as “Mama”; Daddy as “Da Da”; Holly as “Ha Ha”; and Monty as “Ta”. He loves cheese and “cha cha” (chocolate) but still his favorite thing in the world is his Gund Huggybuddy Giraffe. Mommy has become so afraid of losing the giraffe that she spent considerable time and effort trying to find another one just in case. Unfortunately they have discontinued the giraffe so Mommy had to resort to Ebay and buy another one for an amount of money she refuses to disclose to Daddy.

He loves bath time, splashing around and yelling for the bubbles. He loves it so much that he usually doesn’t want to come out of the tub. Once out he runs around naked like a little maniac. It doesn’t take long but if all of the sudden he stops to look down at his you know what, that means he is about to pee on the floor.

Ty recently had his first haircut as Mommy couldn’t stand the hockey mullet he was developing. He was a really good boy during his haircut and now he looks like a little man.

This is a great toy but Ty wasn't sure about it at first.  He likes it now but won't roll around the yard in it like I will.

Zoo Atlanta

Ty likes going to the petting zoo so he can slap the animals.  Take a look at the pictures and notice all of the instances where he is beating one of the animals.  We both really like the zoo and now Ty refers to every animal as either a puppy or a cow. 

Ty's favorite thing to do is wash his hands over and over again.
