Waiting for Baby Kat

We have this open room in our new house that is reserved for my little brother.

Gus likes to sunbath in the sun by the window.

Here is a good mid-morning kiss for Gus.

And I like to test out the baby's toys....make sure they still work.

Sea Men

On the 4th of July, I hung out with my pal Jackson on his boat.
Here we are just chillin' on the seas.

It is hard to make almost 2 year olds look at cameras at the same time.


I had a great time until the police pulled us over and made me put on a life vest.....

Rib Fest

Happy 4th of July! Yesterday I went to Rib Fest in Naperville. I had tons of fun, but did not participate in the devouring of ribs. My Aunt Ali told me to aviod all the "white trash," but that was near impossible. Here I am in line for some ribs.


And then Dad took me to get some beer.

Then Mom & Dad took me to the petting zoo. I saw goats, lambs, sheep, pot belly pigs, donkeys, ducks and chickens.





And last, but not least-there cannot be a festival without music. Here I am doing my hippy dance to either Ted Nuggent or Big Head Todd & the Monsters. Yeah, I rocked out and got to stay up to 10pm!

Video Time.

Here is a video of me chatting away. I am like a parrot and repeat everything Mom & Dad say, which sometimes isn't the best thing for OscarKat nor anyone to hear. Mom made this video especially for Uncle Chris, I use to say his name no problem...now I add a little twist to it. (twist of the jawbone that is)

Monkey See-Monkey Do

Happy Father's Day Dads out there! Mom & I woke up this morning and made Dad a gourmet breakfast of Pilsbury cinnamon rolls. My Dad was using a knife to butter the rolls with the icing, then licking all the icing off. I thought I should try it out.....my new favorite scary past-time.

Suburban Life

Well, we are all settled in and it has been a busy. This is a paper that comes to my front door every morning, and pretty much sums up the week.

I will actually be 2 years old, 2 months from today....yeah, 22 months old. Geez, those months creep up on you. Here is my new stair shot.

I am off to enjoy my backyard full of GRASS! I am still getting use to that, birds, bunnies, squirrels and the most famous creature out here, the "suburbanite."

Moving on Out

Yesterday I left my windy city of Chicago for the western suburbs. Here I am playing in the moving truck. I promise to update the blog tomorrow when Mom figures out where she packed her camera.....

588-2300

I can't wait until I have carpet in my room....so I don't have to go in the hallway to lay down and read my books.

Bed Blogging

Since my Mom has packed up all my toys, all I can enjoy these last days before the move is - TV and a Blackberry....I guess I am my Mom's son!

High Times

I like to climb up all the boxes in my house and watch the Cubs game from the highest point.

Not only does the high attitude, but also hoping for a Cubs win is a great rush of adrenaline.

Hanging In There

I had a pretty fun and relaxing weekend.

I went to the park everyday and worked out.

I will miss this park in Chicago when I move to the burbs.....can you see the bumb sleeping under the toy in the left?

Oh boy! Oh boy!

Yep, that is 2 boys for the Kat Klan. So, I am gonna have a little brother. He better not think he can take my stuff. Here is a pic of his junk for all you internet predators out there.

Flo-beed

Mom has been very meticulous about my hair. She prides herself on the upkeep of my mohawk. Since she has been out of commission, she has let it go and just wanted to start off from scratch. Well, that is a bit unfortunate for me. Don't worry I am not getting deployed to Iraq anytime soon....

(yes, that is yellow marker straight across my forehead)

Suburbanite

This week I took a mini dip in the suburban pool.

I spent the first part of the week at Glamma's, then the weekend at my Aunt Ali & Uncle John's house.

Here I am enjoying my cousin Matt's "city-free" baseball game.

Exciting News!

It has been pretty crazy here in the Kat Kasa.

Today I am 21 months old!

Ahhh, I will be 2 years old in 3 months!

AND....Here are pics of the newest addition to the Kat Klan!

I will be a big brother in November.

Ok, I gotta get in some major Oscar time, ASAP.

Happy Mum's Day!

Today I hung with my Mom on her 2nd Mother's Day.

Here we are at brunch, and I cleared out the room with my "loud talking."

That is what we are calling it these days.....

Oscarcorn

I don't really want to brag, but I have got some major skills.

I had a little cravin' for some "pop-porn," yeah, I call it that.

So, I grabbed the bag and stuffed it in the microwave and started it up.

Mom had to run over and remove the melting plastic, but at that time-I was grabbing my pop-porn bowl.

Here I am enjoying my Oscar made treat.

Things I will miss about the city.....

Hanging with my Dad while he grills and checking out the traffic on our street.

Obsess Much?

I got all these Matchbox cars this weekend and I am addicted to them!

I have to go to bed with 2 of them in my hand (replacing pacifiers, yippee!)

If you ask me how I spent my weekend, you're lookin' at it.

Hide n Seek

I was playing a game of Hide and Seek with my Dad and he was in the best spot ever.....

MY CRIB! I had to get in and join him.

I don't care what the weight capacity is, I just like that I can use him to climb and touch high things.

,

Pack Man

I took some time from packing my boxes for the move to pose for a Friday pic.

Bruised Ego

Yesterday I ran and jumped off 6 wooden stairs. Thankfully, my nose caught my fall. My Mom first thought I had a concusion, then a broken nose. I was just mad that I didn't land my jump and tried to attempt it again this morning....and darnit, my Dad caught me this time. I promise to get video when the parents aren't around to ruin my fun.

Yesterday....

This morning....

Color me 20 months

My Dad & Gus aren't too happy about my 20 month pedicure Mom gave me....I seriously demanded it.

I agreed that Mom could take a picture of just my toes, but I got really mad and embarrassed when she included my face.

Mom & I made a promise to Dad that my "present" would be removed ASAP.

Bye Uncle Corey!

My Uncle Corey came into town this weekend from Dallas and we got to hang on Saturday & Sunday. Have a safe trip back....hope you have better luck on American Airlines than the rest of the United States citizens have!

Hairy Kat

Today I got my first haircut. I think when I woke up from my nap and my Mom saw this....

it was time to go to the barber.

Here I am in the chair gettin' ready

and doin' the deed

Rock Chalk Champions!

Holy Crap did you watch that game last night?!?!

The Kansas Jayhawks won-yippee!

I woke up at 11:30pm because of all the screaming in my house and my neighborhood.

But as you all know my Dad is a Kansas Alumni, so he is pretty happy today!

Come on baby light my FIRE!

Today I went over to the place that makes a sweet lil' sound in my ears about 15 times a day.

I got a personal tour of the Chicago Fire Department in Bucktown.

Here is my Dad & I in engine #28.

These are the 2 fire trucks that represent Bucktown- #28 & #35

Happy Belated Matt!

Sorry I have been flaking this week. I went to the Lincoln Park zoo on Wednesday with my cousins Cameron & Matt. His birthday was yesterday 4-4, and I forgot to give him a shout out, so here is my belated birthday kiss for my buddy.

Shamrock Shuffle

Mom & Dad dragged me to watch them run the 8K (5 mile) race today. The forecast called for 30 degree weather, thunderstorms and 30 mph winds. What perfect weather conditions to bring a toddler out to!

They did great though!
