This and That

I just wanted to share a few pictures of what I am up to these days. Mommy, Daddy, and I went to a Hoosiers game this weekend. It was fun but the other team scored more baskets. Daddy said that has happened a lot this year. Oh well, I had fun.

After the game, they let kids on the court to shoot basketballs. I was too little for that but I snuck down on the court for some pictures.

Daddy caught me red handed in the kitchen cabinets. I tried to play it off like I was going to cook dinner. It is hard to stay out of the cabinets with all of that stuff in there. And you can spin it around. I just can't help myself.

And here is a picture of me brushing my teeth before I go to bed. I have about 5 molars in and a few more about ready to push through. I'm getting tired of this tooth stuff. It doesn't feel very good. And that means I have more to brush too.

Chompers Update

I just wanted to share a quick note that I now have 3 molars that have popped through. Two on top and one on the bottom. Now I'm going to really be able to mash some food. For example, I enjoyed a nice steak for dinner tonight. (sorry that was a Daddy joke). I'm also getting better about letting Daddy brush my teeth. I still like to wrestle the toothbrush with my tongue but sometimes I let the brush win and go where it wants to.

Bye bye.

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.
