My Mommy sings me to sleep almost every night. We have the ritual where she takes me upstairs, Mommy sits in her desk chair, and she sings along to a song named Godspeed by the Dixie Chicks. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries before I finally fall asleep. It's a pretty cool song. Here are the lyrics and link to the sample song out at BarnesandNoble.com:

"Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)"

Dragon tales and the "water is wide"
Pirate's sail and lost boys fly
Fish bite moonbeams every night
And I love you

Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams

The rocket racer's all tuckered out
Superman's in pajamas on the couch
Goodnight moon, we'll find the mouse
And I love you

Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams

God bless mommy and match box cars
God bless dad and thanks for the stars
God hears "Amen," wherever we are
And I love you

Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Godspeed
Godspeed
Sweet dreams

I got my second haircut and don't I look handsome! Mommy thinks it makes me look too old, but I have two teeth now and can eat lots of new things so I think I am pretty old. Daddy thinks I look like Jake with my haircut and Gavin thinks I look like Cousin Jimmy. I think I just look like me! :o)

We took a trip to Gig Harbor, WA so I could meet my Grandma Olsen and Aunt Mardel & Uncle Gino. I also got to meet my Cousins Amber & Luke. The weather was nice and we took a walk down along the harbor. There had been a fire on one of the boat garage things and so we got to watch them pull some parts out of the water with a big crane. It was big news for the little town. That night after my bath, Auntie & Uncle Gino were playing photographer with me (notice the sunflower pics in the gallery). Sunday morning we went to church and I fell asleep during the service! Afterwards we went back to the house for a bbq. Daddy's cousin Troy and his wife came and brought some of the corn that they grow. Jake thought it was so good that he ate three pieces!

Man, I love fresh cucumbers. Daddy grows pickling cucumbers in our garden and when he gets home from work we go out to the garden (nearly every day) and pick a fresh one for us to eat. My two bottom teeth make it really easy for me to eat the innards of the cucumber. The skin is too tough for me to chew right now so Daddy has to throw the remaining skin away when I'm done.

My favorite TV show is Dora the Explorer. I've been watching Dora since I was about 4 months old. Dora, Boots, and Swiper have had a way of keeping my attention for a whole 1/2 hour and no other show has ever done that.

I learn Enlish and Spanish from Dora and Boots. Here's the plot summary: “Dora and her companion, the monkey named Boots, are always on the go -- traveling over rivers and mountains to reach their goal. With the help of her talking backpack full of necessary items and her map, which illustrates the obstacles in between Dora and her goal, Dora is bound to succeed. When she does reach her destination, she and Boots break out in song and dance, exclaiming “We did it, we did it!”“

I experienced my 1st birthday party today! No, not mine, my friend Bryce Rose! It was a GREAT pary with lots of kids. Bryce was the perfect 1 year old and really enjoyed all the attention. As you can see in the picture the chocolate cake was the highlight!

Tonight I ate a whole Biter Biscuit all by myself without choking on the chunks. I was so proud of myself! Mom & Dad were excited too. I think they were just happy that they didn't have to swipe big chunks out my mouth so I didn't choke. It's amazing what I can do with my one little tooth poking out. Oh, I bet you didn't know I had a tooth! Yup, on the front, bottom left. It's just a wee thing right now, but it's enough to eat cookies better!
