Chuck E Cheese

Cullen went to see Chuck E for the first time. As soon as we got there, a life size Chuck E was there to greet him... but he wasn't having that. He was very unhappy to see Chuck. The first few 'moving' rides we put him on he was unsure what to think so he quickly wanted off them shouting "NO NO NO NO NO" and was quite happy to be on something that didn't move. He drove some cars, and skee-ball... throwing balls into other lanes, constantly hitting things that he shouldn't.

After we ate some pizza and enjoyed the off broadway (waaaayyyyy off broadway) stage show he came around some.

"Here's my ticket daddy."


"I'm flying"

"What's up Bob."

Cullen was with his one eyed mama. :-)

I tried the entire time to get him to sit on this ride next to Chuck.... and when I finally did... it was out of paper... So the nice attendant come over and made it take pics for us. This is the best of the 3.

Rainy 4th.....

Cullen up to no good......but look at that face. :-)

We had to remove the glass top to the side table. I won't mention any names, but someone would either stand on top of it and jump.... or else he would climb under the table and then push the glass portion out of his way so he could stand in the middle of the table. So needless to say, the glass was immediately removed and put away for safe keeping.

We went to the lake to celebrate the 4th, but it rained nearly all day. Very sad. Cullen didn't get to play in the river, go for a boat ride see Daddy blow things up... NOTHING..... Oh well, we will have to go back another weekend to play.

Praise God for Chicken Baskets!!!! LOL- this cracked me up

Zoo

We went to the zoo today, a very HOT zoo. He is finally enjoying and understanding more of what is going on and what he is actually looking at.


Cullen LOVES the 'pingins'... I have no idea where he gets it from????



We timed it right ( and having to go thru the NEW entrance helped). Cullen got to feed a giraffe a cracker-with a little help from Daddy.

The next American Idol?

"But-flys"

I thought by now everyone in the Cincinnati area had time to go to the Butterfly show, but it was packed when we got there. Cullen wasn't sure where we had brought him too, it was so hot and humid in the conservatory and half the time he wanted to be carried.

He was attacked by a beautiful blue butterfly and any time one would flutter near him he would start repeatedly blinking his eyes and waving his arms. (I gotta work on the washout in this pick).



Cullen got a tad to close to the greenery---- notice the missing edge in the leaf closest to him.... OOPS.

LINDSAY--- A TUNNEL!

Where oh where do the blue eyes come from???

On a side note... Cullen really enjoys rolling a watermelon.. aka BALL.. all over the place!

No more PB??? :-(

We tried some PB & J for lunch today. He tried a few bites and played with it more than anything. It's "sticky" so he is still unsure of this new thing. Then about 10 minutes after we were done... we saw his face. He had another reaction. This time his hands didn't break out, only his face. He hasn't had the reaction with the spaghetti lately, but we cut back on how much sauce he gets and that seems to work. How will a kid survive without PB & J?????



This was from this past weekend, Cullen helped me with laundry so he could have the basket to play in.



We are off to the Butterfly show tomorrow.. Pics will be coming!

Bouncy House

We went to Run, Jump, Play this morning. This place has several giant inflatables that kids can jump in and slide and climb. They also have several play sets for them to play on.

Cullen was a little unsure about climbing in at first, but once he took it all in and watched everyone else, he was gung-ho about being there. We will definitely be going back! Perhaps next time, I will make sure the chip is in the camera before I leave the house-I have very few pics-or good ones for that matter. Very sad.

Short video I got of the bouncing.....
