today, the first four words out of panzer's mouth when he saw me were "no." 

i knew it would happen someday.  looking forward to a gazillion more glorious times...

nesting

today, panzer showed a lot of interest in the baby bassinette, which i finally emptied of the last year+ accumulations of doo-dahs so p's brother will have a place to sleep someday. 

first, panzer tried to climb onto the back of the couch and jump into it. 

then, i showed him that this is where the baby sleeps, and put my stuffed pig in with a blanket over top.  as soon as i turned my back, panzer ripped the blanket out and left the pig face down on the floor.  sweet.

fuzzy friends

and today, panzer tried to feed his stuffed frog chair half of his tootsie roll.  i think he's ready for a brother :)

sewer friends

today, panzer apparently decided his new rat puppet was the best toy ever.  he just sits around hanging out with the rat, chewing on its tail...

and giving it high fives and hugs.

kind of gross, but i'm glad P doesn't discriminate against hideous toys.  and in the grand scheme of possible rat toys, this is about as good as it gets.  thanks auntie heidi!

huzzah

today, panzer started giving his stuffed animals high fives

ROAR >:O

today, panzer roared at several strangers in safeway.  at the top of his lungs.  i have never heard him be so loud.

now we must work on "the inside voice."

gone fishin'

today, panzer went fishing with daddy in granny todd's pond.

he's a catch and release kind of guy -- not scared to pick up the fish...

or the frogs...

more eat

today, panzer strung 2 signs together -- to tell GT that he wanted "more eat."  (this was apparently after he ate a pint of blueberries, a pineapple and an entire turkey...)

pre-party

today, panzer pre-partied with auntie kimmy to celebrate her forthcoming nuptials.

chug chug chug chug !!!

yardwork

today, panzer helped granny todd mow the lawn.  not everyone gets to enjoy the scag.
