In the 2-0-5

Remember how on American Idol, Reuben Studdard always used to wear those shirts that said 205 on them? Well I ought to have one because that's where I spent my weekend. Birmingham, the 2-0-5. Mom and I went to visit Granddude and Grandma Sherry and we had a great time!

I got lots of practice eating like a big boy in a restaurant highchair and waiting patiently while the big people ate their food. Okay, maybe I'm not that patient but Mom and Granddude always knew what to give me to keep my happy (BBQ anyone?). 


The weather was kind of crummy on Saturday so we went to the mall (Mom says "thanks guys!") and I got to ride the carousel. I rode a giraffe and Mom helped me stay on. Mostly, I wanted to eat the pole and all the grown ups thought that was really gross. 

On Sunday, we went to the Birmingham Zoo to see real giraffes! It was my first trip to the zoo and I liked it pretty well. I really liked seeing the Spider Monkeys swing from the trees and the flamingos march around squawking at each other. Granddude and Grandma Sherry must like the flamingos too because they have a lot of them in their house!

It's almost my granddude's birthday, so Happy Early Birthday!

A Whole Mess of Pictures

I had such a great time this weekend and I thought you might like to see some pictures. Friday, of course, was Halloween and my first trick-or-treating. I didn't get to eat any candy but I went to two houses and everyone thought I was so super cute! Don't you agree?
Saturday was Dad's birthday and do you know where we went? The WORLD'S LARGEST CORN MAZE!!!! And if that isn't cool enough, the maze design was all political-themed so we got to go through a republican elephant maze! You can see the whole design at http://www.richardsonfarm.com/corn-maze.asp. I also got to play  in a sandbox filled with corn--a cornbox! 

Today, I did something very important. I voted in my first election. Okay, so I really only helped Mom and Dad to vote, but they say that voting is a very important and special thing to do and they're so proud that I got to help them vote. I did a little campaigning at the polling place. My shirt says "ME for President."

Last, but not least, how about a few pictures of me playing around in my crib?
