Christmas morning part four


After a nap and a change of venue to a second set of grandparents, it was more presents. I was a little tired at this point. I did find Mom's new PJ's interesting. If she cannot wear them, they fit me.

Christmas morning part three


I invited Aunt Molly to hang out with me in my new pad. She left me to the whims of a Blue Footed Boobie (everyone laughs when they say that-don't know why), from my other godfather, John, but I was able to fend it off.

Christmas morning part two


After a little practice, I was on to the main event. I removed the paper with ease revealing a sand ladybug. This will be a definite upgrade from the 1 foot square box I'm currently trying to play in.

Christmas morning part one



The big day finally arrived. I have been hearing about Christmas, Santa and Baby Jesus for weeks now. I started with the stocking. Play-doh, always good. I practiced opening a few presents. I even opened Dad's. He was being a bit slow about this whole thing.

Reconnecting with my Godfather


I haven't seen Uncle Kenny much since he joined the family-the Navy's doing. After a long day of travel, he and Aunt Molly made it home for Christmas. We bonded over building blocks.

Christmas Eve

Time to leave out the cookies for Santa. I think I should sample one just to be on the safe side. (narrators note: no cookies were actually eaten by a 23 month old. Please do not call child services)

Celebrating Mom's birthday

Mom's birthday is on December 23rd so it plays second fiddle to Christmas. In the past it usually involved being on the road to Texas. This year, we took a little time out to celebrate at home. I'm doing my best to help Mom blow out the candle.

Helping Mommy make bread


Along with "What's that?" I also like to see what's going on and to help when I can. Some of you may have noticed that this operation is on the floor. Don't worry, this loaf went to someone else. Just doing my part for the family.

Practicing being a big sister


Mom and Dad keep talking about the baby that will be coming home in a few months. I thought I'd practice my diaper changing and potty training skills.

What's that Mommy?


Lately, my favorite question is "What that?" We had a little dusting of snow that was great fun. I wanted to Dad to build a snowman, but he gave me some line about not being enough snow.

Hanging Christmas lights


Last year I wasn't much help with decorating the house for the holidays. This year is a different story. I took care of the low branches, while Dad worked up top. Mom took a really cool photo of me in action.

Play date with Cora

My friend Cora came for a visit. We went to the Children's Museum and had a blast. We really appreciate her mommy driving down.

Web technology

For Dad's birthday, he purchased a webcam so I can talk to my peeps around the world. Of course, the only people I know that has a webcam is Aunt Molly and Uncle Kenny. After a few technical difficulties we were live. Now I can see Aunt Molly make silly faces at me.

Thanksgiving weekend roadtrip

Over the long holiday weekend, I saw all my grandparents. I practiced bike safety and Grandmother and Doc's. I went to the zoo at Mill Mountain in Roanoke before visiting Granddaddy and J-Ma. While Mom and Dad went to the annual school rivalry game (aka VT win again), I stayed with Nonna and Grandpa.
