Rockin'

Rocking chairs are fun! Especially with Amelia!

More Busy Baby Club Fun

Mommy didn't have to work today since it is President's Day. We went to church to play! Amelia was there, and Macey brought her sister Caitlyn. I loved her! Caitlyn showed me something new . . . how to have a tea party. It was fun to pretend.

Climbing

I love to climb and slide at Busy Baby Club!

Snow Day

Not For Those With Weak Stomachs . . .

I have really had a passion lately for putting things "in." I love to put my dishes in the oven, my blocks in their bag, balls in my train, my shapes in the shape sorter, and most of all - putting anything and everything that will fit into my nose (including but not limited to: my fingers, yogurt, carrots, cheerios, peas, chicken nuggets, and most recently - macaroni). Why doesn't Mommy think this is cute?

Snack Time

What is going on with these crazy Cheerios?!?
No, really. What is going on?

This is the way . . .

This is the way we brush our hair, brush our hair, brush our hair . . .

This is the way we brush our hair . . .

So early in the morning!

Little People Bus

Lucy and Lamb are in the bus.

I would like to get in the bus with Lucy and Lamb, please.

Hmmmmm . . . this is not exactly what I had in mind, but it will do!

Peek-a-boo!

I see you!

Ellie can't bear to watch!!

Go Diego!

I have discovered a new way of sitting on my Diego riding toy. Fun! I also like to STAND UP on the seat. When I do this though, Mommy and Daddy are not reaching for the camera, they are running to get me down. What's the big deal anyway?

Kindermusik

Today was my first Kindermusik class. I had a great time! The class is called "Sing and Sign." I am going to learn more sign language! My teacher's name is Ms. Elaine. She sang a song with my name in it! I thought she was amazing! I made some new friends - and my good friend Caroline came too!

Ms. Elaine was teaching me the sign for ball.

Ms. Elaine blew bubbles. I loved them. Mommy says she will blow bubbles with me at home! My new friend Campbell jumped right when Mommy snapped this picture! Funny, huh?

Ms. Elaine took me for a fun ride on this blanket. When she stopped, she showed me the sign for stop. Then she showed me the sign for more. Guess what? I already know that sign! I signed "more" and Ms. Elaine told me I earned an A+ for the day!

Caroline, it's your turn!

Here is a video of me and all of my new friends learning "ball" and "more/again." Watch when I walk back to Mommy and you can see me signing more!

19 Months Old!

Well, I have finally done it. Tonight I climbed onto the couch all by myself. I have been wanting to do this for quite a while! Mommy was so sad - she couldn't get the camera quick enough!

Photo Album

YaYa got me a photo album for Christmas. She put in pictures of all of my family. I love looking at it. Mommy and Daddy remind me of the names of all of my family members. Now I know everyone in it!

My New Play Place

While Mommy was cooking breakfast Sunday and Daddy was sleeping in, I was playing in the living room and watching Sponge Bob. Mommy checked on me lots of times. I decided I would have to be fast to pull this off . . . I pulled all of the toys out of my toy crate and then I got IN!

Then I decided to call Daddy on the phone to tell him what I had done.

Snowflake Outfit

Mama Kaye made me this very cute snowflake outfit. I wore it to church today. And guess what Mommy tried to put in my hair again . . .

NO BOWS!!

I do not like bows! I pull them out quicker than Mommy puts them in. When will she learn?

Smart Baby!

I got a BarnYard from my GrandPa for Christmas. I love playing with the farm animals. Here they are. Watch what I can do!

By the way . . . I went to the doctor today for my 18 month check-up. I now weigh 23.9 pounds (30th percentile) and am 30 inches tall(between the 5th and 10th percentile). My head is 18.3 inches (50th percentile). Dr. Debi says I have a big brain :)

Throwing

Daddy has been teaching me how to throw a ball. It is great fun! It is so much fun that I have been throwing everything. I even threw my toys in church Sunday. Thanks Daddy for teaching me how to throw!

Happy Birthday, Caroline!

I had a fabulous day today. My dear friend, Caroline, turned one. She invited me to her birthday party. It was amazing. I had my first Happy Meal, met Ronald McDonald, saw a magic show, played with my friends AND I got a balloon and a hat! Caroline's party started at my nap time. Mommy let me go anyway - but we had to leave early. I was sad that I didn't get to see Caroline eat her cake. Her mommy took pictures and posted them on her blog. Mommy copied them so you can see! After the party I came home and napped for 2 hours! My plan now is to play all night long!

Christmas - Round 4

We went to Mama Flo and Daddy Loren's house on Sunday. This was our last Christmas celebration. I had a great time with my family. Mommy says we are so blessed!

Christmas - Round 3

We went to Mama Kaye's last weekend to celebrate Christmas. We had so much fun playing on Friday! Then on Saturday we had presents to open and a LARGE meal to eat. I took a 3 hour nap with Aunt Cympy and woke up with a high fever. Mommy and Daddy and Cympy took me to the doctor in Memphis and guess what???? I had an ear infection in both ears! I was so sad. The doctor gave me some tasty medicine and I am starting to feel better.

Christmas - Round 2

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Christmas Time - Round 1

I am such a lucky girl to have so many family members who love me! Today I visited my GrandPa in Ripley. My Munner (great-grandmother), Great Aunts Joan, Barbara, and Nancy, Great Uncle Butch, and my cousin Austin came to visit me. They gave me boxes wrapped in pretty paper and gift bags with tissue paper. I was so excited! But I couldn't figure out why they wanted me to tear off that pretty paper. WELL . . . Guess What???? Inside the pretty boxes and bags were toys and clothes! Just for me! I told you I'm a lucky girl! I love you guys! More celebrations to come . . .
I am looking forward to going to church tomorrow and wearing the Christmas dress that my cousin Emily smocked. It is so pretty. Then on Christmas Eve we will go to the candlelight service at church to celebrate Jesus' birthday. Then we will go to YaYa's and PePaw's for more celebrating. Then a few days to rest and we are off to Mama Kaye's and then on to Great Grandmother Flo's. I am so looking forward to seeing all of my family. I can't wait!

Chuck E. Cheese

My friends, Caroline and Madi, and I took our first trip to Chuck E. Cheese. We had a FABULOUS time!

Santa

My friend, Caroline K., warned me about this guy. I wasn't too sure about him, but Mommy insisted that I have my picture made with him!

Frosty

I love that snowman!

Kitchen

Mama Kaye let me borrow my cousins' kitchen. It has been in her attic for a loooooong time. My cousins, Kalli and Nicki, are big girls now, so they don't mind me playing with it. I am so glad Mama Kaye let me use it. I love to open and close and open and close the doors. I put my cup in and take it out, and put it in and take it out, over and over. The kitchen has storage shelves on the side that are a perfect place for me to put my snack!

Dahhhhhling . . .

Don't you love my pearls?

Special Time of Year!

Mommy and I had a fun evening! First we went to her school for "Reading with Santa." The school was decorated with lots and lots of Christmas trees. There was even a Christmas train. I loved watching it! After we sang some carols, Santa read "The Night Before Christmas," and then we left. Next we went to the "Living Nativity" at New Harmony Baptist Church and remembered the REAL reason we celebrate Christmas. We enjoyed it so much that we went through twice!

Sleeping

I love to sleep with my Mommy and Daddy. Daddy took this picture of me and Mommy while we were at Mama Kaye's house. It might look like Mommy is hogging the covers, but she's not. I don't like covers. I kick them off and would rather sleep on top of them. It might look like I am hogging the bed, AND I AM!!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!!
