My latest video!

Christmas Eve

It's Christmas Eve! It's snowing here--maybe we will have a white Christmas! I enjoyed my first walk outside in the snow. Santa is coming tonight. Merry Christmas everyone!

December 17, 2009

Kicked back in my high chair! I guess doing this makes it hard for Mommy to put the chow tray in place.

December 15-16, 2009 Santa Visit!

I'll never tell if I was putting ornaments on or taking them off!

Santa was nice! Daddy, Mommy, & Granny took me to meet him. We went to see Christmas lights at night too!

December 10, 2009

Mommy says I inherited her unruly hair. Check the photo closely. I don't think it's that bad!

Toothy grin! November 23, 2009

I was adding things up when Mommy caught my toothy smile. This week I get to go to Grandma's house for Thanksgiving! Should be fun!

November 17, 2009

5 gallon kid in a 10 gallon hat!

Fascinating!

Lately I have been interested in the toilet paper roll--so Mommy put it up high. Yesterday, I put my hand in the toilet--I didn't know you aren't supposed to. Today, I showed Mommy what is as fun as toilet paper--Kleenex!!! I had it on the floor, on the bathtub, in the bathtub, the list goes on!--betcha they didn't think I could reach that box!!!

November 8 & 10, 2009

I'm just tickled to use my cup! However, it's a lot easier using a bottle. I change my mind a lot!

Drinking by myself--top on the sippy!

Drinking with the top off is more fun--why does Mommy only put a couple of sips this way?

November 6, 2009

I was at the grocery store today. A nice man working there gave me a huge balloon! It was my second balloon ever. I played a lot with this one until the ribbon snapped & sent it to the ceiling.

Last night I made things interesting for Mommy! I stole her candy bar from the arm of the couch (left over from Halloween). I played with it for about an hour until I worked the wrapper open at one end. Then there was chocolate everywhere! Yum!

Halloween!

I was a dragon tonight! I enjoyed seeing people come to our door.

Back with the spoils from our neighbors!

October 28, 2009

I've been very busy lately practicing my stacking skills.

I also still love to play games with my blanket!--Been wearing it on my head a lot.

Swing October 23, 2009

I went on a swing at the park for the first time! I also wore my new shoes out in public for the first time. How can you walk in these things?! I tried my best to scuff them up instead!

Catching Up, October 12 & 16, 2009

Here's my now famous wrinkled-nose smile. I still won't roll on my lion cart. Here's a few photos in sequence you may enjoy:


Lost my shirt gambling!

Coppertone baby's got nothing on me! Runnin' from the man! Can't get my diaper!

Finger to you! How'd you find me?

Vacation! October 5 - 6, 2009

Papa is on vacation this week! We've been running around! Monday I went to the Dallas Arboretum and got to walk & walk. I even ran in the grass! Today I went to the State Fair of Texas. I saw Big Tex, Elsie the cow, lots of animals (from my books--giraffe, zebras, cows, ducks, pigs) at the petting zoo, and I sampled the fried butter . . . yes they sell that now!

I wasn't too happy in the pumpkin patch!

I tried to kiss this cow at the State Fair petting zoo!

October 3, 2009

Not only am I saying Da-Da now, I am matching & stacking toys. I walk through the house with 2 of the same toy--one in each hand. I stack my stacking rings & my blocks. Yeah, admit you're amazed!

Last week, Crazy week

I had a crazy week last week. So, mind if I talk? Tuesday was the doozy--I fell off the changing table. I did get to ride in a cool ambulance. Yes, I'm perfectly fine! Friday I found out I'm going to have a little sister! That's huge news! Friday I also went through a power outage. Papa kept me entertained with flashlights! Flashlight in the mouth never gets old!

Two Blankets!

This afternoon I discovered something in the folded laundry on the table. A second blanket! I've been lied to. Such fun!!!

Labor Day Weekend September 5, 2009

I celebrated Labor Day on Friday & Saturday, when Papa was home. Friday I discovered my voice could echo when we all went to a museum. I also had frozen yogurt that day--yum! Saturday I got to play in my new pool in my new swimsuit!

First haircut

I had my hair cut today. I was not happy--not happy from the time the smock came out (I wouldn't wear it)--not happy through the hair wetting & cutting. My tears & cries won! The back did not get cut! But the people at Great Clips were very nice.

Before!

After! (It really does look nice!)

Walking!!!

Why does this edition of The Daily Dookie get two photos? Because I'm standing & walking! Last night I started playfully popping up fast to standing position (after weeks of steadily standing) while giggling. Sunday night I had stepped 3 steps diagonally from my bedroom door to my bookcase--before lunging at my bookcase for support. So Monday night Mommy suspected something was about to happen. As she readied my room for bedtime, I stood in the doorway & giggled--the time was around 9:20pm. Then I took 7 steps forward! I kept walking 2 or 3 steps at a time the rest of the night. I even got to stay up to show Papa what I can now do!

Friday August 21, 2009

Today was a big day! I started teaching myself to eat with a spoon. Don't you know learning is quite messy! Also, I went to a swimming pool for the first time! So fun!

1 Year Old! Tennessee vacation Aug. 11-18, 2009

I went to see the mountains for the first time in Tennessee! This is on top of the Roan Mountain, near Elizabethton. What a great setting for my first birthday, a family reunion, & my great-aunt & great-uncle's 50th wedding anniversary! I did well on the two day car ride to get there. Enjoyed seeing friends in Georgia along the way!

Here I am with my birthday cake--showing off that I learned to blow! Mommy & Papa helped blow out the candle when it came time. My great-aunt hosted my party. Another great-aunt made my cake . . . & yet another great-aunt took part in decorating it! What a family affair!

At first I didn't want to try my cake. When I started playing with the animal toys from the top of the cake, I tasted something VERY GOOD! I decided right on the spot to learn how to feed myself with a spoon! One spoon became two--well, a growing boy must eat!!! I never had cake before my birthday! Mommy got about six bite-sized spoons of ice cream for me too!

I got lots of new toys. I probably doubled my toy collection!

Here we go on another two day drive to get home! I got to see more family in Hendersonville & Nashville! I had a great trip!

A Masterpiece! August 6, 2009

I was working down there! Mommy says she's not a fan of food pictures . . . and I agree it's not my best pose (more of a snarl really). Here I am anyway with my second food entry in a row! I grabbed my uneaten dinner off the table & started playing--spoon painting! This is a first! My legs, arms & clothes were carrot orange!

(I would have posted a photo of the lovely lunch I attended with another baby my age today--a little girl named Veronica! I hope her mommy e-mails photos soon!)

Ice Cream August 1, 2009

Mommy & I heard music playing outside. All of a sudden, she started running around--then whoosh, she was carrying me outside. There were kids on the street and a nice man in a van. Mommy got things from the man. I found out inside it was my first ice cream!!! Oh, SO YUMMY!!! I wanted as much as she let me have & then some. Papa ate some too. I can't wait to have more in two weeks on my birthday!

Cheers for Cheerios! July 28, 2009

I decided to take charge of my meals yesterday by screaming until I got fed Cheerios & nothing but Cheerios! Mommy wasn't sure what to do (I hear she consulted Papa, Granny & the internet). Today, Mommy gave me lots of Cheerios! I'm so happy!

Feed me what I want or I'm outta here!

July 27, 2009

Aren't toy boxes great!

July 26, 2009

This is me laughing! But my long hair is starting to tickle my eyes--got to get it cut soon!

July 21, 2009

Tuesday I decided to slide across the floor using two of Papa's CDs as sliders. Next thing I know, my butt was hanging out!

July 17-18, 2009

Well, Granny caught me trying to catch up on The Daily Dookie--next time I'll ask to use the computer!

I went to the beach yesterday--really just walked along the sidewalks, near Jacksonville Beach's lifeguard station. Enjoyed the lemons & reggae band at Bukkets restaurant. Viewed the waves; watched some seagulls. I'll tackle the water when I'm older!

July 15, 2009

I had a good first flight! No fuss! They even let "Captain Adorable" (me) take pictures in the cockpit & First Class.

This is me & the Flight Attendant that called me the "best baby."
