Christmas! Christmas!


Mommy and Daddy FINALLY let me open the boxes under the tree on Christmas morning. I had to look at some of them for a couple of weeks. I was happy to finally rip them open. That was a lot of fun.



I got a lot of toys to play with and some books and music. Look at all of my stuff! The best part was that was only my first Christmas. I didn't realize that I had a lot more to open.


Then we went to Gram & Poppy's house to open more presents. I was so excited by all of the new toys that I forgot that Mommy put a bow in my hair. I usually don't let that fly.


I'm so good at opening presents that everyone asks me to help them open theirs too.


Then we drove to Great Grandma's house and guess what? There were more presents there! I got some books and clothes.


Then we went back home the next day and Grandma and Tia Adrienne came brought more presents. 4 Christmases! Can you believe that? I got some more fun toys, stuffed animals, and clothes.


The next day was so nice outside that Poppy brought over my new wagon and I got to take a it for a ride with my friend Annabelle. I can't wait to ride in it this summer.

Christmas was sure a lot of fun this year. Thank you to everyone that gave me gifts. I was such a good girl this year, I think that I deserved them. Daddy took a lot of video of me on Christmas so check back soon for some clips.

O Christmas Tree


We put up a big tree in our house for Christmas. Last year all I could do was look at it from where I was lying on the floor. But this year I got to help decorate it. I even pulled off a couple of ornaments and tried to run before I got in trouble.


I learned that you can't play with the tree or the ornaments or the cords. I do like to look at the tree and the pretty lights on it though.

Go Hoosiers!


Last night, I went to my first IU basketball game. It was fun. People were clapping and they played music and did cheers. I was excited. I clapped and jumped up and down.


The camera man put me on the big screen during the game but Daddy wasn't paying attention and he missed it. Then when the game was over I went on the floor and the camera man put me on the big screen again. This time Daddy had his camera ready.


After the game people were talking to me and saying that I looked like "star" on the screen. I don't know what that means. Uncle Kevin said that he saw us on TV too. I don't know how I got in the TV at his house. All that I do know is that I like all of the attention.

Happy Halloween

Since I was only 1 month old last year, this was the first year that I got to play Halloween. Remember those pumpkins that we bought? We carved them up and I got to pull the guts out. Slimy!



Then I was ready to go out and get some candy. It was pretty nice outside but they bundled me up in this crazy outfit. I didn't know what that was all about.



But I found out that everyone dresses in outfits and colors on their faces for Halloween.


Best of all was that everybody that we visited was giving me candy. Some people even let me pick my own. Halloween was pretty fun.

Pumpkins!

We went out this weekend and picked out some pumpkins for Halloween. I guess we are going to cut the pumpkins up and set them on fire. That sounds really mean but that is what they tell me. Check out the pictures...

Post B-Day


I did get a lot of new toys for my birthday that I have been playing with recently. I have a lot of toys that play music and teach me stuff. Lots of colors and shapes. I'm trying to learn my A,B,3's and 1,2,C's right now. I got a lot of books to read and some clothes to add to my extensive wardrobe. And I also got some toys to walk with and push around. I'm getting some good practice with walking and I should be doing it on my own soon.
