Afternoon fun with Daddy and Auntie Rachel

After a long, hard day on Monday (school and a good nap), I got to play with Daddy and Auntie Rachel on Monday afternoon. In this picture, I decided that Daddy needed to see what my "two fingers" taste like.
I am all smiles when I get to play with Daddy.
I'm becoming more and more of a "walking man" every day. You can't stop me, you can only hope to contain me...
I really like to play with Auntie Rachel to. I'm so lucky to have so many people who want to make sure I am safe

We have had a really fun week around the Cash Satterwhite (affectionately known by some as Casherwhite) house this weekend. We played ball and I walked everywhere in the house. I carried the ball all the way down the hall and into my room and threw the ball in the bathtub. My baby sister slept ok this weekend -- except she woke everyone but me up on Friday night (early Saturday morning) and Daddy ended up taking her to Wal-Mart at 4 a.m. so everyone else could sleep. Mommy is so much fun. She took me to the farmers' market and to breakfast with Doll. And I hung out with Auntie Rachel too. We went to church at King's Way on Sunday and I got to hang out with Weston, Hudson, and Reagan. So much fun. We went out to eat for lunch with Doll and Granddad and then I took a really long nap (so much walking). Then we went out for pizza with Eugene, Jenifer, and Tyler. Of course, I didn't eat much pizza -- I spent the whole time walking, climbing stairs, and trying to play keep away from Daddy. Anyways, it was a totally exhausting weekend and right now I am sleeping, sleeping, sleeping.

We don't have any pictures from this weekend, but by popular demand, I am going to show you some more pictures from last weekend's picnic pictures of me and Lena Grace. I wanted to be the star of the show, but Daddy told me that Lena Grace needs more "blog time." I guess I can share, even if I don't want to. Here are the pictures.





Bye-bye (my favorite words right now).

It's Picnic Time

On Sunday afternoon, we had a picnic in the park. Mommy, daddy, Lena and Rachel were all at the picnic. So were Mr. Tom and Ms. Cyndi and Sam and Gus. Sam is almost 3 and Gus is 4 months old. Ms. Jess was there too.

Here are some pictures from our spring picnic. It was very pretty outside and I got to eat -- a lot. I love hamburgers, especially when daddy makes them.

Lena Grace is One (month old)!

Lena Grace is one month old today. Can you believe it has already been one month? So much has happened during that month. My little sister grew over a pound. She started holding her head up. And I learned how to kiss her and how to touch her with one finger! Don't you think she is pretty? I think she is beautiful. During the last month, Auntie Rachel has come to live with us -- she is helping to take care of me and Lena. Papa came to visit too. And we have seen lots and lots of Doll and Granddad. We even went on a trip to Kansas City and got to hang out with cousin Nathan and Aunt T. I would say that my little sis is very lucky. I know I am. Well, anyway, Happy one month birthday Lena Grace!!!!!

Small Spaces and Smiling Faces

I am getting really good at walking. It has taken a while, but now I take 10-15 steps on my own several times a day. I also walk all over the house pushing anything that moves, including my tricycle.

Daddy told me I couldn't fit through the really small space between the sliding glass door and the wall. But I showed him. I knew I could fit through the door. I showed him.
Peekaboo! I love playing peekaboo by looking through the window from our porch at daddy. So much fun.
Check the blog again soon for more fun pictures of me and Lena Grace. Bye-bye.

Auntie Rachel is Here!

On Tuesday, my whole world changed. My Auntie Rachel came to live with me, Mommy, Daddy, and Lena for a little while. I have only seen Auntie Rachel twice in my whole life, because she has been living in Thailand for the last five years. She has come to live with us while transitioning to living back in the States and she is going to help take care of me and Lena. I am so excited because she is sooooooooooooo fun! In this picture, she took me for a ride down the slide at the park. She must like sliding as much as I do.

Auntie Rachel took a picture of me and my favorite form of transportation -- my chair/walker. And of course I brought my blankie along with me by hanging it on my chair.
My Papa came to town on Tuesday to see Auntie Rachel and my baby sister Lena. He saw Lena for the first time and had a chance to hold her. Isn't she pretty?
Papa gave Lena a kiss. I love giving kisses. I give Lena a kiss good morning every morning and a kiss goodnight every night.
Auntie Rachel took a picture of me and my still favorite two fingers...
Auntie Rachel took her turn holding baby Lena.

I had so much fun with Auntie Rachel at the park.
Papa took me for a ride in the wagon he and Mimi gave me for Christmas.

I was the happiest guy at the park....
I can't wait for all the fun adventures I am going to have with Auntie Rachel.

Lena's Hair Bow

It is cold in Springfield. Very, very cold. So cold that when we went to the Farmer's market today, Daddy wouldn't let me get out of the car. Instead, he put me in the front seat and let me act like I was "driving."

I love playing with my baby sister Lena, especially when she is in the bouncy seat. Of course, I don't really understand how to be gentle, so someone always has to be watching me when I am playing with Lena.

Lena has lots and lots of hair bows. Do you think this one is big enough?

Climbing, Sliding, and Scooting

I think I told you before that my family went on a trip to Kansas City last weekend. It was so fun! On Saturday afternoon, Doll and Daddy took me to a really cool park. I went down slides and then I even climbed up a slide. All by myself!





I scooted through a really cool (and really yellow) tunnel. I also climbed a rope ladder into a pirate ship! (with a lot of help from Daddy, of course).
I spent some time walking around with Doll and then Daddy and Doll took me over to a big car that was built into the playground and I climbed on the car with my new friend.

Family Portraits

Today was another big day. Last night, Daddy, Mommy, Lena Grace and I drove to Kansas City for Granddad's big day. Granddad won an award -- the Distinguished Orthodontist of the Year award -- from his Dentist's school. Daddy said that means he is special. I told daddy that Granddad doesn't need any awards to make him special.

Anyway, this morning, a nice lady named Andrea came to take pictures of our whole family. Of course, not to be outdone, daddy had to take some snapshots.

Daddy took a picture of me, Doll, and Granddad.



Here is a picture of Granddad and Doll with baby Lena Grace.

And here is a picture of me and mommy standing at the window of the 11th floor of the hotel -- mommy was showing me all of the neat things in Kansas City. Did you know she used to live there?
