Babybottoms Update

Logan Victoria Samuels will be 2 years old in 23 days.

She has not updated her blog in ages. Not because she has not had a TON to say. Mainly because I have neglected to keep up with Blogger. Shame on me, I know. Here is a quick update:

• She's a few inches from being 3 feet tall.
• Her vocabulary surprises myself and her father EVERYDAY. Saying everything from "Oh! Sh*t!" (which she gets popped for) to "you  ok?" to "I don't know" and "who dat?"...even when we watch movies where they are talking fast she surprises us by yelling out "Jimmies dead!" [Black Dynamite].
• Reading has become a favorite thing to do so she got her first library card yesterday.
• Dancing is right up there with reading. Britney Spears and Beyonce dance moves are done all over the living room.
• Still demanding and whiny as ever but balances it out with LOTS of love. It does make up for her nagging.
• Tantrums are a daily thing. Mommy and Daddy will be OVERJOYED when they cease.
• Potty training was initiated by her. We slacked off a bit but we are back on it. The goal is to DEFINITELY have her comfortable with regular underwear 24/7 LONG before she turns 3.
• Acting is also up there with dancing and reading. I could not have a MORE dramatic child. Everyone is her costar and everywhere is her stage. Sometimes it is hilarious, other times it is just plain ol' embarrassing. She gets it honest from her overly dramatic grandmothers LOL
• She knows the different body parts and within the last year, fixates on the differences between mommy and daddy. It makes me laugh. It makes her father uncomfortable LOL she also is trying to figure out why her "boo's" aren't the same size as "ma's boo's"...boo's are breasts.

Of course there is more but I will let her share. If you don't hear from her within the next week, look out for a birthday post. 

Did Yah Miss Me?

It has been over 7 months since my mommy let me update my blog. During that time, I turned 1 year old! My mommy's friend made me 2 cakes and my mommy and daddy let me eat the little one all by myself! I got to stay up all night. Well, it was really until 11:30 pm. That was when I decided that I was tired, grabbed my blanket and Mr. Minky Bojangles (my favorite monkey), and passed out in the middle of the floor. My Auntie Eb came all the way from Charlotte to celebrate my birthday with me and made me delicious chicken tacos too!

That was all the way back in September but before that, I learned how to walk all by myself! I think mommy and daddy were more excited about that than I was though. They were making a lot of noise and carrying on. I didn't know what the big deal was. I was just tired of crawling everywhere on my knees. It seemed easier to just walk to where I had to go. Since then, I have tried to get better at running but my little bow legs slow me down a tad. I figure I will get better once I master this peeing and pooping in the big white water holder.

Mommy and daddy said that they were going to start potty training me after we move in March. I am tired of wearing diapers anyway. I keep getting in trouble for trying to take them off but I hate them. I want to wear my Hello Kitty panties my Auntie Niel bought me. Sometimes I poop in the shower when mommy isn't looking to teach her a lesson. She still hasn't got my hint. I WANT TO POOP IN THE BIG WHITE WATER HOLDER THING MOMMY!

I have had a few playdates with my friend Dallas and I am supposed to go play with Ashton but my mommy is dragging her feet. She needs to be concerned about my social life because I am tired of sitting in this stupid house all day. I am talking better but my mommy acts like she can't understand me. She yells at me all the time to stop talking monkey gibberish and I yell back that I am speaking English. Sometimes I think something is wrong with her ears because I can understand her but she acts like she has no idea what I'm saying.

Nothing else exciting has been going on. A few birthday parties and I'm looking forward to going to the park this week. I will try to make sure my mommy updates my blog more often. She tries to act like her life is too hectic to type a little post for me...

Share with everyone later!

Howdy Doodee!

Boy, have I been busy with growing up lately!

I think I'm ready to walk but I'm making mommy and daddy wait to see my magic trick because they keep pressuring me to walk. I decided to give them another month of what they call peace of mind. Once I start walking, I'll be unstoppable...they just don't realize it yet.

I have 8 teeth now! Two more are coming in and they make me cranky and insufferable. I don't know what that means but my mommy says it every time some new teeth start to come through. If she would just let me gnaw on the furniture I would be fine. Instead she stops me from chewing on everything. It makes me angry and I yell at her to let me live. For some odd reason, it isn't okay for me to yell at mommy and daddy. They keep putting me in my play pen without the toys and it makes me sad. I figured out that if I do what they tell me, I won't have to go into the playpen unless it is sleepytime.

They trick me all the time but I usually figure out how to get around their meanness within a day.

I'm also standing up all by myself. I use mommy when she is near by because she just seems the perfect person to use for everything. When she isn't near by or looking for jobs on the internet, I usually grab hold of whatever is closest and when there is nothing, then I just get up. I should probably start getting up like that all the time but since I'm 9 months old, I don't have to do anything I don't want to. It'll happen eventually.

My last update is about the stairs. I can climb up 4 stairs now! I would try to climb more stairs but my weird mommy always takes me down after 4 stairs. I get frustrated and start temper tantrums because I figure she would leave me alone so I can do what I want. But no, she's always there to stop me. I gotta find something for her to do so that she isn't always watching me. I want to do what I want all the time, not just some of the time.

I've said enough to mommy now. I think she wants to go look at more shoes on Polyvore. She always tells me how I will understand the power of a nice classic pair of heels and the hypnotic effect of some out the box red bottoms. I don't know what all that means. I hate shoes so usually when she goes on some rant to my dad about wanting some new shoes, all I hear is blah, blah, blah. Why can't she just shut up and make me a fresh bottle with a side of sweet potatoes?

I'm off to watch Sesame Street while daddy is napping. He hates my show but I'm the Boss so he doesn't have a choice but to let me watch it. I just want to watch it in peace without him rolling his eyes so loud I can hear them in his sockets. I got that one from mommy too! :)

My Mommy Won't Let Me Post My Own Blogs :(

I told Mommy I can write, edit and post my own blogs and she keeps doing it for me. It makes me want to cry. Is this my blog or hers? Boo and hiss.

My First Kiss...From A Boy!

A couple of days ago Mommy and I went to Miss Brittni's house for some play time with other babies and mommies. I had a ball! I got to meet Miss Brittni's baby, other little girls and a boy!

Daddy says that I have to wait until I am 21 to like boys. I don't know what that means but I think my mommy does because she always laughs in his face when he says it. I heard her say one time, "tough luck with that". Anyway, I was sitting on the couch minding my business and this curly, dark haired boy walks up, hits the couch and says:

"Hey, Boo!"

Because he was yelling in my ear I had no choice but to pay him some attention. He kept hitting the couch and shouting the same thing and it was funny so I laughed. Mommy laughed too. Personally, I think he was hypnotized by my fabulous silver tutu (see picture above).

So when his Mommy and Daddy was holding us, he gave me a kiss. I heard them say something to Mommy about an arranged marriage. I don't know what that is either but when Mommy said something to Daddy, she laughed and his face just looked like mine when I taste something nasty.

I normally don't kiss people because I don't like people all in my face but since he was cute, I allowed him the honor.

Mommy told Daddy but he wasn't happy too happy about a male kissing me. His face looked like the "nasty" face again. 

Message from Mommy:

The little boy who kissed Logan was 3 years old and I've known his mother for 9 years and his father, for 8. It's cute now but I've got my eye on his little fresh tail; I'll be having none of that kissing going on anywhere near puberty time!

What Was Supposed To Be My Day At The Park

Everyone in the house talks like I can't understand English. I might not be able to speak it to where other people understand me but I know what's going on. Don't be fooled! So when I heard the word "park" today, I got excited inside. I have been in this dreadful apartment 2 days in a row and I want out!

That's me and my sister all dressed and ready to go out. She was bothering mommy about it all day. I decided to be on my best behavior because I haven't been that kind of a baby this past week. I will write about that later. Let's just say...I don't like to share my daddy...or my mommy. I don't care if it is my sister I have to share them with.

Back to the park...I didn't think mommy would ever get done this morning. She was taking so long and any time sister and I would get a little fidgety, she'd say "we're leaving in a second". I know I'm only 6 months old but I know a second can't be that long!

We finally get to the park and I can't contain my excitement any longer! Let me out of this chair!

I think mommy can read my mind because right when I was about to start protesting, she pulls me out of the truck. Yayyyy! The sun was all in my eye but mommy took care of that for me. She pulled my shade over my head and I was ready!

As we stroll through the park I see these big black and yellow buzzing things. They look like little pacifiers and I want one. I just can't manage to grab it because they're too fast for me but I can try! If only mommy would have unbuckled me...just when I think I got me one of those buzzing things, my stroller starts turning around.

Why are we walking away from the buzzing things and the park? *lip quiver* We have to get back in the truck so soon? *tears welling up* I wanted the buzzy thing...that's when I look over at sister and she's being a big old scaredy cat because of the buzzy things. She's ruined my park experience. I'm not happy about my day at the park being shortened but the good part is now I get to feel some air condition!

I'm simple. I'm a baby, remember?

My First Blog!

Someone suggested my mommy give me my own blog since I ALWAYS have so much to say (like her). She told me I couldn't have one until I was in middle school but guess who got their wish early??? I'm not even in pre-school yet and I have my own blog! Look at me!

Why did she cave in?

Because some bad woman is calling other people's children Babybottoms. *tears* THAT'S MY NAME YOU WENCH!

I'm not allowed to curse at all because I am only 6 months but I've heard "choice" words before and my mommy had some for her.

I'll try to tell you more about my little life but my mommy has to write everything so be patient with her...she does have her own writing to keep up with!

Bye!!!
