Babysitting

I have been meaning to get a picture of Baby Perry and I on my blog so here it is. Ms. Abby asked me to watch Baby Perry one day and I brought Mommy along to help. We had fun. We ate lunch and fed her a bottle. I only poked her in the eye once trying to love on her but she seemed ok but it did scare me. I can't wait til she gets big so we can play together.

New Things

Hi there! There have been a few new things developing in my life and I thought I would update you all. First, I love phones. I love to play with Mommy's cell phone. I say "Hewo?" into it. (If you look closely I am doing this in this picture.) When the phone rings I sometimes run to find it or point to it. Maybe someday I will talk to you on it. Wouldn't that be neat?!?

Second, I have really become attached to Baby (who I call Babies) and DogDog. They go everywhere with me - to eat, to sleep, in the car. I became so terrified the day I saw Mommy stick Babies in the washing machine. I kept looking for her and calling for her. So now Mommy said she has to sneak in while I am sleeping and take them to give them baths. They aren't dirty, but she she says they are. I also have adopted a kinship with a bear who has joined Babies and DogDog in the crib. We will see where this relationship goes.

Also, Mommy and Daddy went against the advice of my doctor and fed me seafood early. As some of you know, my family eats seafood for Christmas so they wanted to see what I thought of it before then. Well, I am happy to report that I liked it with no allergic reactions! It was good with ketchup, but everything is good with ketchup or "dips" (ranch).

AS you all can see, I am really growing hair. Mommy compared her baby pictures to mine and I have about 5 more strands than she did at this age. Mommy did put a bow in my hair to see if it would stay. It did but I didn't care for it hanging on to what little hair I do have so I took it out. But it does look nice, right?!?

Lastly, (don't read if you don't watch TV!) Mommy had been a single mom for a few days and said she needed a break to cook dinner so she put in a Baby Einstein video. She has done this before to see if I would look at it and they have never interested me. But did you know that they have "Moo" and "Neigh" on these videos? I stood right next to the screen for a while and then laid on the floor on a pillow. I told Mommy all about the farm and the corn and the pigs. Dinner was yummy that night by the way.


Have a great day!

Outdoor Fun

I have been spending a lot of time outside these days. I have been swimming lots and lots. I love my new float because I can kick in the water and I love to throw my splash balls and then chew on them. Daddy does "1..2..3..Whee!" with me and that is so much fun. Sometimes if I am careful I get to play on the steps of the pool with my bucket.



I also have been collecting rocks aound my neighborhood. I have been picking them up from yards and this week I put them down the drain. Daddy and Mommy helped me. They think I got most of the rocks in my yard and my neighbor's yard.



More tales to come...

Pillows

Hey! I wanted to share on of my favorite things that I am doing now. Ever since I was little, Mommy and Daddy have run and jumped on the bed, and I would sit on the bed and laugh and laugh. Well, little did they know that one day I would catch on and be able to jump on the bed myself. This also turned into jumping on the couch or chairs. Evidently this is not a good thing to do because they said I could hurt myself and it is not nice to do on other people's couches (which I was doing). So Daddy taught me how to pile the pillows on the floor and throw jump into them. It is so fun and you should try it if you haven't.


First I get all the pillows off the bed and throw the on the floor. And then I fall into them face first or fall backwards into the pile.





It has to be the best thing to do with your time! Find some pillows.
Much Love,
Carlisle Drew

I am now on the web

Mommy has uploaded a few goofy videos that she has taken since I was little on You Tube. You can watch them if you would like. Copy and past this link into your browser and see if that works. If not, you can search for me under "Carlisle" but it may take awhile. Have fun and enjoy the old days of when I was a wee little thing.

Happy June

Hello All!
I hope you have all had a fantastic June. I certainly have! I figured out how to walk! Mommy and Daddy say that I am a very cautious walker and think about my steps before I take them. Mommy has tried to get a picture of me walking and all she could get was my back as I walked away. I also have conquered climbing UP and DOWN the stairs. We have 14 wooden stairs, and I can get up and down them all by myself. I know what to do when Mommy says go "Up" or "Down".



Since I can go up and down the stairs by myself, we have been playing upstairs a lot more. I have a little play room off of my room that I like to play in. It has all sorts of fun things in it, but the most fun are my beads. I like to put them all on and walk around with them. Daddy says I look like I am ready for a hiphop video or Mardi Gras.



I have been working on learning parts of my body and like to poke Mommy and Daddy's eyes, ears, and stick my finger up their noses. My favorite body part though is my Beebo (Belly Button for those of you not familiar with The Belly Button Book). I touch it all the time and look for it to make sure it is still there. If you let me I will look for yours sometime too!



Daddy spent Father's Day weekend doing his second favortie thing - playing golf - so we don't have any picture because I didn't go with him. But we did spend Father's Day with friends Jim and Kelly at their farm. I got to see the horses and dogs and deer. Ms. Kelly let me lick the beaters which Mommy has never let me do! I need to start going over there more often.



June has also been a big month for visiting with friends. The first of June, baby Perry Mabel came on June 4th. I got to go see Abby, Jim and my new friend baby Perry at the hospital. I think she's sweet, and I say "Baby" a lot when I see her. I also went to Kentucky to visit Mr. Jamie and Ms. Emily with Mommy and Daddy and stayed at Ms. Emily's house where she grew up. We celebrated Emily's baby shower (she's having a girl too!) and played all weekend long. Then Mommy's friend Ms. Amy and her daughter Piper and her grandmother Oma came to visit baby Perry so I got to play with Piper.



Stay sweet wherever you are!
Much Love,

The Incredible Shrinking Dog

For those of you who have been asking where the dog has gone, he is still here. I pick him up once a week and carry him somewhere. Here is the most recent picture of me with most of him!
