Greetings and Salutations

Mama and I on the 4th of July. I'm wearing my "All Fired Up" T-shirt. And boy was I EVER!

Boy oh boy! I've got lots to tell you. First of all, let me inform you that this is Mama helping me with my blog again tonight. Papa is being the good "honey" and doing things on Mama's "honey do list". I don't know exactly what that means, but Mama tells me it's very important.

Today I had the most spectacular day. I spent the WHOLE day with my papa! Mama had to work and Papa had the day off. Mama had arranged for me to go to daycare so that Papa could finish charts, but he chose to hang with me instead. He totally knows what's cool. :-) We played tons and I practiced my walking. I'm getting pretty darn good at that, but lean just a little too far forward. Soon I'll be running around like a mad man. I can't wait for the running part because I know that my mama and papa will be exhausted while trying to keep up with me.



Monday I had another HUGE first. I had my first trip to Chuck E. Cheese. W.O.W. It was AWESOME. Papa recounted his trips to the Cheese for me. He said that Grandpa Sherman had a great disdain for the pizza. I thought it was pretty darn good. However, perhaps it was the show that was going on while I ate. There was Chuck and all his friends singing and dancing up on an enormous stage. I danced right along with them while I munched my very first pepperoni pizza and breadsticks. It was soooooo yummy! Then Mama and Papa put me on a bunch of rides and played a bunch of games for tickets. Those tickets yielded a very nice prize of Black and Decker tools. I have a hammer that I am especially fond of and carried it around everywhere including to Mama's very long doctor's appointment on Tuesday. I really love Chuck E. Cheese!

That takes me to my final exciting trip of late. We went to pick out/up supplies for my 1st Birthday Party! It was so much fun. I got all the stuff that I thought that my family and friends would need to have a kickin' good time at the bash. I know that some of it may be excessive--this became especially poignant when Papa was talking about needing jeans and Mama was talking about needing a swimsuit--but they chose to spend the money on me. My folks rock. :-) Nonetheless, I'm really looking forward to my birthday party. I have an awesome outfit and I think the plans will be super fun. I look forward to seeing all of you at the bash. (By the way, Mama says if you haven't RSVP'ed yet, please do so. She needs to order a cake!)

Well, I'd better part for the night. I'm getting rather sleepy and Mama has to work tomorrow. I hope that you all have a fantastic week and I hope to see you all very soon.

Love,

Carter
