Summer went by way to fast. We had a very fun summer with mommy and daddy. Josie and I went swimming almost everyday that we could. I took swimming lessons and by the end of the summer I would say I became a pretty good swimmer. I now can put my head under water and I also went off the board several times as long as someone caught me. Josie loved the water until the end of summer and then she was done with the pool and wanted to just run around the outside area chasing bugs. Besides going to the pool, we played at grandma Marcia's with my cousins and the Bach's. We had so much fun. Our family vacation was to Houston in July. This year we went for 10 days, which mommy and daddy decided that was way too long for Josie and I. The first couple of days we went to aunt Cathy and Uncle Scott's ranch. I got to ride on 4 wheelers, Polaris' (sp), and other cool toys. I got to go fishing with daddy and of course the dogs. Thank God we didn't see any scorpions or rattle snakes. After our trip to the ranch, we went back to Cathy and Scott's house and played hard. We spend one afternoon at the Wild Safari Park. It was so awesome. The picture above shows me petting a camel with my cousin Jackson. We saw giraffe, deer, hippos, emu, zebras, camels, and many other exotic animals. We got to feed a lot of the animals on the drive around the park. Josie wanted nothing to do with the animals. She played and ate the animal food that we had. She was content with this and she got extra protein for the day. We had so much fun in Houston, but mommy and daddy realized that the trip threw Josie and my sleeping schedule all off. Josie was up every night and ended up sleeping with mommy, daddy, and me of course. Mommy says that part of the trip was so awful. Since we have been home, Josie has been back on her schedule fighting some molars coming in. As for me, I still wake up in the middle of the night and climb into my parent's bed, but they don't even realize it until the morning. Last week, I went to my preschool orientation. I was a little scared, but after seeing all the toys I can't wait to go back. I also had my first soccer game. Mommy is our coach and I didn't last long. The first play of the game I was heading for the goal and ran smack into another kid. I cried and never went back into the game. Maybe this upcoming game, I will be more of a participant. Some of my new things are eating cucumbers straight from gma Marcia's garden, saying "you can't catch me, slow poke", watching Wow Wow Wubzy, eating chocolate, playing outside, riding my scooter or bike, digging in the dirt, and just being onory. I continue to be a busy bee. As for J, she is just as busy. She is running all around. She loves to play on the VTECH giraffe bike, just like I did. She loves crackers and pretty much anything you put in front of her. She is little but she is tough. She continues to chase me and play hard. Her new thing is to come up behind me and pull me over. It has become a game that we play, but mommy keeps telling me that somebody is going to get hurt. As you can see in the video below Josie is one tough cookie. Her new things are saying "bye bye", waving, "more", and climbing the side of the steps (which I taught her). She now weighs 22 lbs and I weigh 38 pounds. Neither one of us are very tall. I am in the 50th percentile for height and as for J, she probably is about the same. I hope all is well with everyone. Wish me luck at preschool next week. I'm sure mommy may need some luck also so she doesn't cry. Talk to you soon.
