Using my imagination

I'm fascinated with garbage trucks. When I was 1, I loved picking up trash and throwing it away. People would tell mommy I was going to be a trash man when I grew up. Don't they know that I'm just an enviormentalist. I still throw things away, but now I like waiting for the trash man every Wednesday and watching him load our cans into his truck. Daddy found some youtube video on various trash trucks and how they operate. It is so interesting to see all the different techniques. I've learned them all so well that I pretend my hand is the arm of the trash truck and I lift my blocks into my pretend truck and dump the trash. I can spend hours using my imagination to pretend that I'm a trash truck. I use my imagination to play so many things now. I also love playing with by backhoe, street sweeper, fire engine, ambulance, and pickup truck. Mommy bought me a mini trash trucker, but I want a bigger one that actually operates. I hope Santa brings me a Tonka trash truck...we'll have to wait and see.

1, 2, 3....

I can count and I know my colors. I can count to 10 all by myself. I surprised Mommy and Daddy one day when I lined up all my cars and started counting them 1 through 10. I know my colors in English and Spanish, but I can only say them in English. My favorite colors are blue and purple. Now that I know my colors, mommy always asks me "What color is the truck", "What color is the Christmas light", "What color is ..." Oh boy, she asks so many questions now.

My 2 year Photo Shoot

Mommy, Daddy, and I took photos at the beach recently. Mommy wants to capture every moment of my cute little life, so here is just another snap shot in time. Enjoy our photos...

Happy 2nd Birthday Palmer!!!

Mommy and Daddy can't believe how quickly this year has flown by. So much has changed this past year. I can run, I talk, I play with my cars and toys, I love watching Barney, I love going to the park every day, and I love going for walks. This year I went to Maui and Palm Springs and I even took my first airplane ride. I'm growing up to be a big, bright boy. Although I don't go to school, I love playing with kids at the park. I had so many wonderful adventures and I look forward to so many more next year. I know it will be a blast, since I am going to be a big brother very soon. Stay tuned...

Happy Halloween

Today I was a pumpkin for Halloween. Daddy took me around my block to trick or treat. Then I helped Mommy hand out goodies to the kids who visited our house. It was so much fun that I wanted to go outside every time someone knocked on our door. I can't wait until next Halloween!

Team Blue it is!!!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to have a little brother. I can wait to teach him all the wonderful things I know. I look forward to meeting him in March.

Just my size...just what I like!

This past weekend, Daddy went on his annual surf trip to Big Sur with the Ducks. Mommy took me on a weekend full of adventures. On Saturday, Mommy, Grandpa John, and I visited Pretend City. It is an entire city that is just my size. They have a grocery store, a library, a Hawaiian Restaurant, a Farm, a Doctor's office, a Dentist Office, a Police Station, a Fire Station, a Beach, and so much more. You can drive cars, perform on stage, plant fruits and vegetables, pump gas, go fishing, and a ton of other cool stuff. It was a great place and I had a lot of fun. I hope Mommy takes me back again soon.







On Sunday, we visited a Pumpkin Patch with Nina Elda, Grandma Lu, Auntie Janelle, and Cousin Joce. We had a lot of fun. We took a train ride, a hay ride, and rode a pony. I have to admit, I did not like the pony. Overall, it was a great day and a fun filled weekend!
