I'm leaving for some days cuz remember, it's Christmas. I'm going to see lots of people who love me & who I'm learning to love (it's not very hard). I hope you'll have as much fun as me!!!!!!!!!!!

This paper is so much fun. I got my whole body under it but Mommy took it off cuz she says it's not safe. I love this paper.

I like to play on the floor don't you?

Check out my new "thing". It's like a teething biscuit cuz it's kind of sweet. But it's not crumbly. It's like a teething ring but tastes sweet. It is AWESOME. I love to gnaw on it cuz it feels good on my gums. I think it's pretty too. Mommy says it's a carrot. She says I eat carrots every week. I don't understand.

Did you know Daddy has lots of toys. They hang from the ceiling and stuff. I like them. There's this green guy that I like most. His name is Yoda. This is just how much I like him.

It was really really warm recently & Mom & took a walk. I had my hat & my glasses. I told Mommy which way to walk. As you can see here, we stopped so I could check things out & make sure we were headed in the right the direction. Before I knew it, I was super sleepy and the rest is history.

This is my dog. His name is dog. I like to talk to him. See how well he listens? I like his red nose. He has a flashing bone where his heart is. I REALLY like that part about him. He sings to me. He tells me which part of him I'm grabbing. My Aunt Sue and Uncle Keith gave him to me cuz my cousin Laurin likes hers so much. She has good taste.

Speaking of taste, I got to try some fruit today. Mommy said it was pears. I don't care what you call it, it's good. Mommy tried it and said it was good. If Mommy says it's good that means it's definitely better than broccoli. yuck. And guess what? MOMMY SAID I DON'T HAVE TO EAT ANY MORE OF THE YELLOW SQUASH SHE MADE ME! She said she thinks that's why I have little bumps on my bottom. I didn't even know I had them, but yay bumps! Cuz that means no more squash being snuck into my cereal!

Do you like my cool hat? This is me almost 2 months ago. My Mommy's friend Lisa made this hat for me before she even met me. We can't go anywhere in the hats Lisa makes me. People stop us twice as much. Then they ask wear Mommy got the hat. Then they tell her Lisa should sell them on eBay. My Mommy just smiles and listens. I think it's a fancy hat.

Here's also a picture of my Carol. She's not my anything, just my Carol. She turned 50 on Sunday. I think that's only 5 years older than me. I got to go to her party. I chewed on a carrot.

This is my friend Olivia. I usually get to see her on Monday night & on Thursday mornings. She wasn't at the library today. I missed her so I made sure to sing real loud - for both of us. She's in Missouri seeing her family. Olivia's Mommy took these pictures in late summer, a few months ago. I know it looks like we're fighting but we're not. Honest. We don't know how to do that yet. She has a lot of hair so I wanted to touch it. Olivia is 3 weeks older than I am.

My Mommy asked my neighbor if she wanted to go to the library today. So Linlee's Mommy drove us. It was fun. We got there early & Linlee had a good time. She watched all the babies and sang the songs. Her Mommy had fun too. I was so tired again when we were done. I didn't say a word the whole way home. Which is fine cuz Linlee said a lot. She screamed the whole way home. Her Mommy said she doesn't really like it in the car. I didn't care if Linlee screamed. It kept me awake so I didn't have to try to stay awake on my own.

When we got home Mommy put me to bed. I was so tired. About as tired as I was last night. So I went right to sleep.

Oma and Opa babysat me last night while Mommy and Daddy ran some errands. They gave me Christmas presents! Oma says I look like an elf in my new blue hat. It's pretty and very soft. If Mommy and I have more time today we'll post more pictures!

I'm impersonating a nerd. The glasses help a little.

It's Christmas time. Mommy says that's why the lines are so long at the bank and at Wal-Mart. I didn't notice. More people have been talking to me at these places but I thought it had something to do with me.

Here is a picture of this guy I met. He came to church on Sunday. First he walked right by me & I watched him. I didn't really feel good that day so when people passed me around (I get held a lot there) I just snuggled up against them. Then Mommy took me back to see this guy. He held me. I looked at him. He talked to me. I looked at him some more. I touched his chin hair. He has a little more hair than I do. I'm pretty sure that I like him.

Last night we went to Uncle James & Aunt Melissa's house. They gave me something. I thought it was a toy but Mommy said it was a present. I liked the tissue paper. I played with the bright sparkly red bag quite a bit. It was so pretty. Then Mom turned the bag upside down and stuff fell out! It looked like Baby Einstein movies! One has monkeys on the front! And one has an elephant on the front. I played with them a long time they are fun toys. I think these movies are suppose to teach me about animals and all about my body. I guess there's even more to me than my head, shoulder, knees, and toes. Aunt Melissa also got me some cool socks. She says they'll help me walk cuz they have stuff on the bottom so I don't slide everywhere.

I think Christmas time is going to be fun.

So far on this blog you've seen that I am an angel. Today I got mad. I had what mom calls a melt-down/tantrum. And it was all over a teething biscuit. They are really yummy. I mean REALLY yummy.

This is my imitation of a scarecrow. Good huh?

These are pictures of me on my 6 month birthday. Mommy took me on a walk, here's a picture of how pretty it was. It was super quiet there. So Mommy and I spent a long time there. I liked it. I liked looking around a lot. I didn't smile very much cuz I was too interested in nature. But Mommy got one good picture of me smiling, so here it is.

Wow look at these pictures. Mommy finally found them again. Here's one of some of my family...Nana, Daddy, Mommy, AC, and Uncle Mike. Really. THAT'S Aunt Celia...now you know why we call her CRAZY Aunt Celia. I didn't think they were scarey at all. Mommy thought Mike looked scarey but I didn't. I liked talking to him. This was when I was 6 months old...right before Halloween. I think that's why UM & AC were dressed like that. I don't think they dress like that very often but I've only been around a few months.

My crazy aunt celia came to see me! It was so much fun but she wasn't here for very long. Here we are on the floor playing with my mittens. We went to this place that bright even though it was night. I liked it but it was VERYYYYY cold. Brrrrrr. A.C. took the picture of me in the car with my hat after we were done. I was trying to warm up and I was very sleepy. Mommy says I get to see her super soon! Yippeeee!

Here's a video of me sharing my "lollipop" with the green Dragon. He didn't like it as much as me so I took it back.

I have been busy today. Thursday is my library day. I get to go see that lady that I think lives there. I actually got to meet her today. Her name is Laura. I like her a lot. I didn't get to go last week cuz it was icey. And I missed Thanksgiving week too. So, I had extra fun today. My friend Olivia was there & she sang REAL good.

After that, Mommy took me to Ozark Natural Foods. I was asleep in the car when we got there but as soon as Mommy walked in the store I was awake. This lady named Susan wanted to look at me. She said I was soooooo pretty and she said my skin was pretty. Then another lady stopped to talk about my eyes. I was still in a bit of a fog cuz I didn't get enough sleep. But, it was nice to have these ladies say such nice things about me.

After that, Mommy took me to a baby clothes store. I was sleeping and all of a sudden I woke up & we were there. There were rows and rows of clothes. Mommy said they had just had a big sale & she wanted to see what was left & she found me a few things. I was still in a bit of a fog so I didn't care much.

Then we went home. I slept all the way there. Mommy fed me and put me back in my seat...after changing my diaper twice. I tooted before I ate and it STUNK. That confused Mommy, she thought I'd pooped. Then while I was eating I REALLY pooped. My whole head gets red, my eyes water, and I get real serious when I poop these days. Mommy said she wasn't sure if the bad smell was my poop or my broccoli. Why would she feed me something that smelt as bad as poop? I don't like broccoli. It makes me make a face & shake my head. She's been putting it in my cereal, she thinks I don't know. But I do.

So, off to the hair salon we went. I got to see the nice girl named Kim. She said I was such a good baby. She talked about my skin, my eyes and of course my hair. She made Mommy's hair stand up a lot.

After that we went to Oma's work! I am popular there. Everyone stops what they are doing and plays with me. I got to look at everything. They have a lot of Christmas stuff up. I met this little guy that is red and smaller than me. He laughed ALOT...he rolled on the floor then got back up again. Mommy thought he was funny. I was a little excited but couldn't think of anything to say. He was pretty loud but fun. I think I like him. It's a fun office. They even have a tv & a chair that goes all the way around...it's a chair for spinning.

I fell asleep when I got in the car. I was so tired. When we got home I woke up & needed to play and unwind before facing the crib. Then it was sweet sleep!

Tomorrow we get to stay home all day. Our broken car is suppose to be fixed. I had forgotten about it cuz super nice Mike & Gina let us borrow their car for a whole week!

Thanks for reading my blog. Lots of people read it. I am lucky to have lots of people love me. Mommy tells me that all the time.

I'm lucky.

HERE are the pictures I blogged about on Snow Day!

Since you liked my last fan video so much here's another!

Mommy says she's sorry. She tried uploading the pictures of me in the snow but blogger didn't do it. Maybe tomorrow. argh!!!!!!!!!

So we had a storm. It was a winter storm. It got real cold. It has been white outside. Mommy said she had to take me outside because it was my first "snow". It's weird. Yesterday Mommy sat me in the yard so I could play with leaves. Today she sat me in the yard but I couldn't see any leaves, it was just white. And bright.

baby it's cold outside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is called a sippy cup.
