2 cobs are better than 1

Yo yo.... corn on the cob is the ticket, peeps!

These pix & videos are from a few nights ago, when I got to try corn on the cob for the first time. If you've never tasted you some corn on the cob, you better run out & get some for your mom to cook up tonight! Even if you are short a few teeth, there's no need to worry... I was able to annihilate a couple of pieces with the mere 9 chompers that I've got.

I'm also a lot better at using my fork these days. Mom was not able to capture the best of my skills, but you can see some attempts in the 3rd video. Sometimes (especially toward the end of my meals) it's just simpler to resort to the good ole' trusty fingertensils.

As with most of my eating videos, if you're tummy is a little weak, you'd better dodge the videos below. Don't judge me, please. I simply enjoy my food... don't you wish you could get away with eating like this?

cinco de mayo es muy bueno!

I certainly hope that mis amigos enjoyed Cinco de Mayo as much as I did this year... we had a fabulous dinner at a new Mexican restaurant downtown with fun friends. Gosh I love guacamole & rice... think they might be 2 of my favorite foods... muy muy muy bueno!

Oh... and how do you like my festive outfit???

...everywhere a QUACK, QUACK!

On a complete whim today, mom & dad stopped by the pond near the hospital up the road from our apartment. The rain we've had for a week straight now is still hanging around, so we were brave to venture out of our car... but it paid off, because the rain held off just long enough for us to walk once around the pond & feed the duckies a little.

Because it was such a last minute decision, we were not prepared with the appropriate duck munchies, so we had to improvise with a handful of the Kix cereal from my snack cup. It didn't seem to bother the duckies at all... they loved my Kix as much as I do!

There were lots of ducks & geese, and even a mommy duck with four little baby ducklings. I also found the turtles quite interesting... dad had to pull me away from the bridge... I'm not sure why he was in such a hurry?... I just wanted to talk to the turtles! I also got a close-up of a snail & rolypoly. I am not such a fan of touching little creatures like that... I like to look at them, but touching them is not really my thing.

If you make it to the end of the slide show, you'll see that I was NOT HAPPY about leaving the pond. After being stuck inside for so long - - I was enjoying the fresh air & was not quite ready to leave when mom & dad were. I let them know :o)

puzzles, burritos, & shoes... what a combo!

What a hodge-podge of a post this is! I don't have a lot of narrating to do, as there's not really a story to go with this stuff... but I'll give you a few explanations.

The videos are of me working on some of my puzzles... I'm getting much better at them, considering the only thing I used to do with puzzles was to throw all of the pieces at the dogs.... now my attention span allows for me to at least get a few pieces back onto the board (not necessarily in the correct places yet... but onto the board is a start, right?) There is also one video of me pointing to all of my body parts on cue. It was not by best attempt, as I was getting tired, but you can see me identify most of them for the camera.

The pics are from this week.... we met daddy for dinner on Wednesday night at Qudoba. He was studying for a big test on Thursday (which he passed - yea!) so we met him near the library & made him take a short break to eat. I did exceptionally well with my eating utensils that night!

You can see, as well, that my love affair with shoes continues. Not a day goes by that I don't sneak into our closet (our ONLY closet at this point) & try a few shoes on my little feet.... mommy's, daddy's, mine... I'm not picky. I also tried on dad's reading glasses this morning, but could not see too much - gosh he's blind.

Apologies for the randomness. Hope you have a great weekend!

nada mucho, peeps... nada mucho!

For the first time in several months... we've actually had a quiet couple of days around here.... things have slowed down just a little... & it's kinda nice.

BUT - please allow me to clairfy.... although we have not had a lot to do - - there is certainly never a dull moment when you live in a one bedroom apartment with 2 nutty, spaziod pooches, who are not used to the noises of apt life & bark at every single person/bird/bug that move past our door, a mommy who is always always following you around... trying to pick up your toys 'n' such, because there's "just not enough room for us to be messy", and a daddy who is annoyed by all of the above, as he tries to study & finish up his last few weeks of dental school. Needless to say - daddy has had to stay up at school a little extra lately... concentration levels are not so good at the Lewright pad right now :o).... hahaha!

With all of that said... the week for me has been great! I realize that things are about to pick up again, so I'm making the best of this interim slow-down. I've had some time to play with the few toys we kept here, to take walks around the new neighborhood, to play "tea-party" with mommy, and even to have a picnic at the park.

Since there is not much to tell you... I'll simply leave you with a few photos from this week... hope you enjoy! I will try to get mommy to record a video for you tonight... maybe I can come up with something good to show you by then. :o)

Hugs to all... WORD OUT!
