Our First Pool Day
Ok, not a *real* pool, but a blow up pool. Either way, excitement. And these days, Frankie is happy to inflate.

Frankie's Milestones
For me, it’s both the little and big things that happen that strike me as “milestones”…or are just generally amusing and impressive. Frankie never ceases to impress me with his razor sharp memory and bargaining techniques. Some recent activities of note:
-Frankie correctly uses the word “dissipate” in a sentence
-Frankie poops by himself on the potty (it doesn’t happen everyday but the fact that it’s happened a few times really impresses me)
-Says “Are You TEASING me?” when you make a joke; makes a joke and then smiles and says, “I’m just TEASING you!”
-Sing “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” in its entirely (even the falsetto parts) for anyone who will listen
-Undying love for balloons and balls continues unabated
-Tells me that when he gets bigger he’ll be able to fly
-Told me the other day that comets are made of gas, dust and ice*
-Points out the planet Venus in the sky. Reminds me that we can see it because “its cloud reflect the light”* (*from a book on the solar system he received for Christmas)
-Bowls a 65 without my help (with bumpers)
-Caught him licking sprinkles off the bottom of his feet
-Frankie humor: “What kind of cracker jacks do birds eat?” “Grackle jacks!”

Cookin' with Frankie
Frankie loves to cook, and he'll pretty much eat anything he has a hand in preparing. On this night, we had green beans, broccoli, zuchini, and brown rice. Very healthy.

Maybe this ball would make a good drumstick
Frankie and Dada had a playdate at his friend Vinay's a couple of weeks ago. The drum kit was a big hit, and of course, Frankie figured out a way to incorporate balls into the mix.

Feedin' the Pig at Peter Pan Mini Golf
Frankie discovered the wonder and magic of miniature golf last weekend. Suffice to say it was a huge hit (we were back there again today).

Fresh Frankie Video: Ramsey Park & Santa Rita
Frankie and I spent the late afternoon at Ramsey Park. We started with a little basketball, which basically involves me pressing his 30+ pounds over my head ten or twenty times before Frankie mercifully decides to play something else.
Frankie's a big fan of the BIG SLIDE at Ramsey Park. The kid has absolutely no fear of heights, and I'm not looking forward to the day that gravity announces its dominion. For now, Frankie's invincible.
Santa Rita isn't the best Mexican food in Austin, but Frankie loves the place, primarily because of this bell, which he loves to "feed" coins, but also because there's a great gelato place right around the corner (his consistent choice: mango & strawberry). They do make a pretty decent margarita, which is their one saving grace. Besides the bell, I mean.

Frankie eating Sock Monkey, and other video goodness
Just put a bunch of old videos on YouTube.com. Figured MawMaws and PawPaws might be going through a little Frankie withdrawal (except for MawMaw JoJo, who's been lucky enough to spend the last several days with Anna and the boy). Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/frankieVisionTV

Man-eating Balloon Closet
Frankie stores all his balloons in the balloon closet. I don't think he thought they'd ever turn on him.

Here's the tree, hand selected by Frankie at the Elgin Christmas Tree Farm.

St Nick's Day
In an effort to confuse Frankie about St. Nick V. Santa and carry on an old St Louis tradition, we celebrated St Nick's Day in early December. Frankie didn't mind because it resulted in presents before Christmas!

happy birthday balloons
Nothing makes Frankie happier than a $.99 sack of Happy Birthday balloons. And it's important that they be Happy Birthday balloons. Accept no substitute.

Frosty the Snowman
Frankie's daycare put on a little Christmas pageant, and his class sang Frosty the Snowman. Pretty freakin' adorable.
