Boomer Sooner!

Dada took me to my first OU game! I was very well behaved and really enjoyed watching the Sooners beat Baylor.

After each time the Sooners scored, they shot off fireworks, which I really liked. I sang Boomer Sooner along with the band, and even tried to pick little OU emblems off the chairs. (Bummer, they don't come off!)

It was such a fun day to share with all the guys in my family. Here I am with Dada and Uncle Marco, and with Uncle Basem and Vince. I can't wait for my next OU game. I constantly tell my parents, "I go OU football game with Dada. That be fun!"

Back to School

It was a fantastic summer, and surprisingly, I was happy to go back to Mom's Day Out. Clearly, I'm not lovin' the backpack. "Off! Off!" I cried!

Twenty-one Months Old

How sad is this? I'm giving my 21-month update just weeks before I turn two! And to tell the truth, I have changed so much in these past few months, I'm not sure I can tell you exactly what talents I had at 21 months. I can tell you one thing for sure. By the time I turned 21 months old, I could name almost EVERY car in a parking lot. Chevy, Ford, GMC, Pontiac, Honda, Toyota... you get the idea. One day, Mama starting showing me the emblems on the cars, and I soaked it up like a sponge. I do have a little trouble with cars I don't see often - Bentley, Astin Martin, Scion to name a few. It's an impressive talent for a less-than-2-year-old. My parents have gotten used to it, but strangers are always shocked. One lady told Mama she should get me on tv, and a man predicted I'd be future CEO of GM! Also, I know I told you I learned to read numbers. I've got that down from 0-9. Other than that, I can't quite remember what I was doing in August. I'll catch you up again soon... I promise!

Say Cheese!

When Mama tells me to "say cheese", I usually say "cracker" while running away from the camera. Imagine her delight when this time, I said "cheeeeese!", held still, looked at the camera and smiled! She was in shock and had to take advantage. Here are a few shots from the photo shoot...

These pictures were taken at the beach, the same day as the pictures with my family in Coronado.

The cutest 20-month-old little boy in the whole wide world! (Even when I've got a little sand on my face.)

A Beachy Day

While we were in San Diego, the whole family spent a day at the beach in Coronado.

I loved the water, like I did last year, but it was too cold! I couldn't go in for long before I started shivering. I made sand castles and dug holes with Oma and Dada. I was sandy from head to toe!

It's rare to have Mama's and Dada's families all together in one place, let alone in California, so it was really nice that we were able to spend such a nice day together.

Disneyland

My first visit to the magical world of Disney! I was amazing - we arrived late morning and stayed until 10 pm, and I never complained once! How could I? It was like nothing I had ever experienced!
My very first ride was in a rocketship with Auntie Tini!

Dada took me on the Dumbo ride. I loved taking the controls. I'm already a great pilot. I really enjoyed Pirates of the Caribbean and kept repeating "See that guy!" when I saw all the pirate skeletons! Speaking of skeletons, the Haunted Mansion was really cool, too. Nothing scared me. I just soaked it all in and had a blast.

Here I am making my best attempt at a whistle, trying to chime in with "It's a Small World". Waiting in line is no prob when you've got so many things to look at. All the moving parts on the outside were just as interesting as the inside of the ride.

Still whistling as we enter Small World in our boat...
Dada and I are 3-D'd out, ready for a shootout with Woody & Buzz over at California Adventure!

We ended our day with a beautiful view of Cindarella's castle and a not-so-great view of the fireworks show. I got some souvenirs from my favorite movie - cars and a Woody sippy cup. I wish I could say I'll never forget it, but I will. At least I've got photos to remind me of my fun Disney day!

SoCal Summer

Now that summer is winding down, I have a little time to tell you what I've been up to. Here are the Morrow men swimming in Palm Desert. We were there for the national convention. I met lots of people that knew my mama when she was my age, living in California. It's so hot in the desert, there's not much you can do but wade in the water. I think I was the only fair-skinned blonde in the pool. It was literally a sea of hairy Arabs! We had a nice few days in Palm Desert before moving on with our Southern California adventure...
