--Give me that camera!

--I never walk when I can run.

--Went to Disneyland again and loved it. Mickey and Minnie were waiting for us when we got back.

--Here I am making faces at the camera.

--Here Jerome. Make sure this is still good.

--I dressed as Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey Mouse for Halloween.

--Dad asked me to smile, but the best I could manage was stunned.

--I fell asleep, so they put me on Uncle John's lap, since he wasn't going anywhere.

--Here I am at Disney World with Mom and Dad, struggling with Mom to go see the castle, swimming at the Beach Club, watching the ducks, enjoying the Christmas Parade, and looking at all the lights with Daddy!

--These two Daddy tells me are among his favorites: with Mommy walking at MGM, and enjoying the huge lobby and Christmas tree at the Wilderness Lodge!

--Can you guess what ride we're on?

--And here's a selection from Christmas: helping Daddy put lights on the tree, snuggled in for a nap with Jerome and Rungo, Jerome trying to help me figure out my stocking, meeting my new friend, Donald, and showing him to Mommy and Megan, and trying out the new Little People Farm!

--Now that Christmas is over I'm really tired.

--We took a road trip where I got to learn to share, dine on chicken bones, and learn some local history.

--I like watching Mom play hockey. She gets down like this, then she let's them have it.

--Now that I'm two, I am much neater when eating, drinking, and making art!

--I'm also really into Peter Pan. Say you're a codfish or I'll make you walk the plank!

--I've finally figured out the right way to handle the kitty!

--Mmmm! Thanks, I'll wear it home.

--What I've learned from video games: Tricky!

--Easter was even more fun this year! Here's one!

--Castle portrait.

--Got some pirate Mickey things.

--The Boardwalk is beautiful!

--Dad and I have a Secret Handshake!

--My cousins came to visit and we went to Disneyland

--The Electric Light Parade was fascinating. I also had fun at the challenge trail and tree house.

--The Jungle Cruise was funny. That's not all, though, I had lots of smiles, silliness, and fun rides!

--Captain Hook is my buddy.

--I also took a break to dive and swim in the hotel pool.

--Flying a kite by myself and with Aunt Jen

--I picked this Christmas tree.

--Autopia can be serious, but with practice driving can be fun!

--Tamed the big rock bear.

--Trying hard to blend in.

--Goofin'.

--Got me!

--Me and Dom by a big Christmas tree.

--Aunt Jen took a minute to sit down in a shop and read to us.

--After the parade it Snowed!

--Two weeks later we flew out to see more cousins! I had to get dressed a lot to go out and go sledding and play in the snow. Sometimes it was better to just stay in and read.

--I was a big help when we moved.

--After the big move I started to get used to my surroundings and did some exploring in the woods.

--Mommy got me a Bigwheel!

--I like pretending to be Batman and am trying to train Chris to be Robin.

--My big things right now are Bob the Builder machines and my Batman and Batgirl figures.

--It snowed a little one day, so since I'm an expert I wanted to make a snowman with Mommy!

--Daddy and I played with Legos for the first time and I made some friends.

--Here is my first recognizable drawing of a person. It's Daddy!

--We went to Disneyland with Aunt Jen and my friend Megan! I met Mary Poppins, rode on Dumbo, and had a great time in California Adventure! Mom and I rushed over to see Zoe, had my map signed by Ariel, and went on Small World four times!

--The next week I went to Santa Cruz with Daddy, Cam, and Henry.

--Why aren't there any good real-time military combat simulations for the GameBoy Color?
