Birthday Boy


yo, Yo, YO!! Yes, it's been a few months but gimme a break, Scott and I have been busy. So let's get right into where we've been...




My last post was just before the 4th. For Independence Day, my Grandmother and Grandfather came over for a cookout. Grandmother conducted an experiment on the adults, see her blog about it.


Scott and I also went to our first ever parade. It was such a blast having candy raining down on us from fire trucks, floats and more tractors than anyone can imagine seeing in one place. Later we were invited over to Mr Gary and Ms Candy's house next door for a cookout. Their grandson, my buddy, Garrett took me for a ride around the yard in his truck - what a thrill, I think I messed my pants... oh wait, I do that anyway, that's what diapers are for!

A few weeks later, we all went back up north to Grandma and Papa's place. The weather was chilly so I didn't get to take the jet ski out for a spin this time. But we hit the pontoon a few times. Maybe we'll get up there one more time this summer and I'll show those waves a thing or two...












Then came the big event! It was my GG's (great-grandma) 91st birthday party! Anyone who is anyone (well maybe just the Donnellys) was there. Family came from as far away as Oregon, Alabama and Virginia for this not-to-miss event. I had a blast hanging out with my cousin Thomas, he cracks me up!

We ate, we took pictures (check out our huge family!) and we partied like we always do. Thank goodness we did enjoy ourselves because just two weeks ago my GG passed away. It's been pretty difficult for my mom because she admired GG so much. She talks about how positive, happy and accepting GG was. She said she never complained and always had a smile on her face. GG never said 'no' to a party invitation and was always one of the last to leave it. I know I'll miss her too because she was always so happy to see Scott and I. Love you GG!



So, let me talk about Scott for a little bit. HE'S A YEAR OLD NOW!!! Yea! He's got 8 teeth now and boy does that kid know how to use them! He's an eating machine. A few months ago he suddenly refused any form of baby food and has been on table food like the rest of us. I think it's safe to say that he eats more than I do, for real. I don't like to eat. Drives my parents nuts. And I like to say no - a lot.

Anyway, I'm supposed to be talking about Scottie here aren't I? What can I say, I like me! So Scott actually gave Mom a present for his birthday, he started sleeping through the night - finally. Can you believe he just now started sleeping through the night? What a rookie...



Yea, so on to Scott's birthday. The 'rents posponed his birthday party because daycare said Scott had possibly been exposed to chickenpox two weeks prior and they figured he'd most likely get the 'pox right around his birthday. Luckily he didn't get it but the party probably wouldn't have happened anyway cause of GG's funeral. So on his birthday, just the 4 of us celebrated with cupcakes and I so very graciously offered to open Scott's presents for him. I've had so much fun with my new toys - huh? What's that? You mean they're NOT my toys? WT...?














So this past weekend, Grandmother and Grandfather babysat us while Mom and Dad went to a wedding. I think it was good for them to get out for a little bit. While they were gone Scott hit the bottle. Thanks Grandfather for bringing the Lil' Kings for us Lil' Kings!















Speaking of beer, one day the folks came to pick us up at school and my teacher ratted on me. She told them how I was playing with the toy kitchen with my friends and was serving them beer. Apparently she thought it was amusing but told me I had to serve them milk instead.




At that wedding, Mom was talking to a former Miss Michigan, who it turns out is a BIG fan of me and my blog. Frankly, I'm not surprised though, ladies love me.




So what's on the horizon for us? Scott is having a THIRD birthday party this weekend. Well, he actually will share the spotlight with cousin Logan and Papa, who all have birthdays this month. Maybe next blog I'll post pictures of it if mom gets some good ones. If not, hopefully next post will be about Scott starting to walk and me getting potty-trained.


I got a request from another "fan" to include more updates on Mom & Dad. So I asked them what's new and they said 'nothing'. So there you go - Mom and Dad are boring. I'll leave you with this picture my mom took, she's like the paparazzi with that camera...
