Merry Christmas

I got a whole bunch of cool presents for Christmas today.  I got some stacking cups from Santa, mommy and daddy got me my own laptop computer - it doesn't have pictures of me on it like daddy's, I got a big water slide and pool for this summer and some clothes.  We went to grandma and papa's house for dinner and Krazy K and I got a lot more presents - some clothes, toys that makes noise (not a lot of noise), books and some stuffed animals that are pretty cool.

One Christmas down, three to go

I had my first Christmas party this weekend with some cousins.  I got a DVD, a cool outfit and two crazy cousins (see picture).  Krazy K and A were having as much fun with the box from Krazy K's stuffed bear as they were with the other stuff they got.  We had lots of food and cookies too!

I met the Big Guy

It has been kinda busy around our house the past couple of weeks, me and daddy made a tree in the house.  A tree in the house!  And put lights on it.  Me and mommy have been shopping for gifts, I wish I could read so I could tell if there were any for me.  I've got two more teeth coming in.  Daddy took pictures of me and made a holiday card to send to family and friends, we should be sending them out later this week.  I have new shoes, oh wait I told you that already.  Aunt K came over for dinner last night and I think when I went to bed mommy and daddy went to a party.  I hope Aunt K didn't eat any of my new lil' crunchies, those things are the best.  I met Santa Claus this weekend he was at our favorite garden center.  His beard is bigger than daddy's and a lot whiter.

Happy Thanksgiving

I had fun today I got to eat potatoes, turkey, cranberries, bread, corn, my usual food and my favorite pumpkin pie! This picture is me eating pumpkin pie it is really good.

Check out my new shoes!

We've been very busy lately.  Over the weekend we went to get me some shoes, they are pretty cool huh?  Daddy took me to the doctor for a check-up on Monday I am 29 inches tall, 19 lbs 11.2 oz they also took a blood test I didn't cry at all until they wouldn't let me eat the gauze or bandaids I got a little bird because I was good.

This picture is me riding my rocking horse, it was daddy's when he was little.  We put up Christmas decorations around the house and played with my new cars.

On the Go

The last week was pretty busy and fun. Daddy took a couple of days off work, we visited some friends and mommy at work each day. I got my second flu shot - I didn't cry. We also practiced crawling. You can see that I can do it by myself now, do you see me cruising in the video?

I didn't get any candy

It was a busy week and we didn't get to post my halloween photos, so here they are.  We had dinner with friends, took some pictures and they went trick or treating.  I didn't go because I was really hungry and needed to eat.  Maybe I will go next year.  I did see all the kids that came to our house for candy - there were a lot!  In the picture one of the kids isn't there because she didn't arrive until this week.  I have on my "I love my mummy" t-shirt that glows in the dark.

This picture is me as a tiger, grrr.

Spooooky!

This is me sitting next to the pumpkin daddy carved tonight.  You can barely see me, I'm wearing a glow in the dark shirt that my cousins got for me.  It says, "I love my mummy."

This picture is me making a spooky face.

Halloween Cards

Thank you to everyone who sent me cards for Halloween, they were great.  I think I might go trick or treating, but I have a feeling that daddy will eat all my candy.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

This weekend we celebrated daddy's (undisclosed number) birthday.  Saturday we went to our favorite park and went for a long hike and went shopping at Best Buy.  Then on Sunday grandma, grandpa, great aunt S, aunt M, uncle J and the munchin came over for ice cream cake.  Hey, mommy, I didn't get any.

This is daddy helping me type up my blog post for the week.

Apple and Pumpkin

This weekend mom and me went to the apple orchard with family, they had apples, apple pie (we should have bought one for dad) and pumpkins.  We had a lot of fun.

Oh, big news.  Earlier in the week grandma said that she felt a tooth coming in and daddy looked again on Saturday morning and there were two!

Summer is Over

So this weekend was pretty boring, mommy and daddy played cards with the neighbors and did fall home maintenance stuff. We watched our football team not play very well. The video pretty much explains how things went during the game. Today I got my first flu shot - I didn't even cry.

Things I Like

The past few weeks have been pretty uneventful so I decided to tell you about the things I like. I like to play, I like to take a nap - i mean watch football - with daddy on Sunday, go for a walk with mommy, getting up at 3am once in a while to see what is going on - not much in case you are wondering, i like to stand up but you have to help me, and i like to eat everything they give me, including the fruity popsicle daddy shares with me that mommy doesn't know about.

Carnival

I got my six month pictures taken last week.  It was fun.  This weekend we went to a backyard carnival for two birthday parties.  It was fun, you can see I got my picture taken with each of the kids celebrating their birthdays.  I got to have cotton candy too, mmm good! 

Laughing

Does apple sauce make this happen to you?

Still Cruisin'

Another busy weekend, we had dinner with friends and went to grandma and grandpa's house for a party. This is me and daddy playing before bed time.

Eventful Day

Today I went to the doctor and I was over 27 inches tall and weighed in at 16 lbs 15.2 ounces.  Oh, guess what, mommy let me eat some good food for supper tonight.  I had sweet peas, it was awesome.  The doctor said that I could have steak in another month.  Steak sounds so good.

It was HUGE and I touched it!

This is me with my mom and dad, we stopped to see the worlds largest ball of twine by one man on our way to visit friends at the lake.  We went through the museum too, it was educational.

I touched it all by myself.

This is me at the lake having a good time.  Dad made sandcastles in the sand, mom chatted with friends and dad went for a boat ride and came back really wet.

I went swimming
