Talking and Dancing!

I love talking and dancing. Mom tried to get some video of me doing both. They turned out ok, but it doesn't really show how good of a talker and dancer I really am!

I love the Barenaked Ladies just like Mom!

I know how old I am!

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I certainly did. I was so excited both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I got so many presents that I actually got kind of tired of opening them! I loved all of my presents though (as long as Dad got them out of the boxes fast enough).

Here I am opening my present from Great-Grandma.

Here I am eating the Rice Krispie bar that Great-Grandma made for my stocking...

See how good I am at opening presents?

Playing the drums Grandma and Grandpa got me!

Pointing at the Christmas tree at home...next year Mom and Dad said we would FINALLY get a big one!

Santa's Little Elf

Here I am in my elf outfit. I liked being an elf as long as I was fed and not tired. Here I am being fed...


and fed...



and now getting tired...



and now sound asleep. It's hard being an elf!

It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas!

We are getting ready for the Holidays! Here I am decked out in my Frosty The Snowman shirt. It even lights up. That was very entertaining for me this morning when I got dressed...

We got all the snow we need for Christmas last Wednesday. I wasn't all that thrilled about the snow, but I do like looking out the window and saying "dat" and pointing all over.

This is looking from the house to the street. Thank goodness we have a truck, or Mom and Dad wouldn't have made it to work!

Grandma and Grandpa got me an advent calendar with chocolate. I learned quickly to look forward to opening the flap for the day!

Here I am with Mommy's abominable snowman from Rudolph. She thought I would be scared of it....haha...I love "Holy Jolly Christmas" by Burl Ives. I clap my hands and bounce and listen to it over and over and over...

I also have learned how to say more words. Grandma taught me to say Santa, and I can say milk, banana, mama, dada, dat, and pretty much anything else I will try to repeat but then I forget it. Grandpa and Dad keep teaching me bear. It couldn't have anything to do with the fact that I am very similar to that animal, could it?

Random Pictures from the Past 2 Weeks

Sorry Mommy hasn't posted many pictures in the last couple weeks. I have had a couple of colds and haven't been the best subject for taking pictures. Here are a few though...

I am walking all the time now. Here is one that Mom didn't get turned the right way, but you can still see how good of a walker I am...


Here is a shot from Thanksgiving. Thanks for the bib Aunt Kate!

This is my new favorite thing to do (no not the no pants since I have ALWAYS liked that)...I LOVE to climb...especially to things that I am not supposed to have!

Here I am in my Winter coat and hat...

Is it Christmas yet? Mom says that this stocking will be full of stuff. I keep checking, but so far it is empty!

Another Fun Weekend!

Here are some of the fun things I did this weekend...

I wrestled with Elmo Live. I think he is pretty funny. I love to play with his mouth when it is moving, and even though I expect him to talk, he makes me jump everytime he starts talking!

I stayed at Grandma and Grandpa's on Friday night. Here are some of my favorite things to do there...

I change the radio so Grandpa can hear some good dancing music...

I clean off the coffee table for Grandma (I do this at least 3 times everytime I am there)...

I play with Mom's old toys (that is the original Chatter telephone, not the one out now)...

...and I look at all of the pictures of the cute baby that Grandma and Grandpa have!

What a great way to spend the weekend! I hope everyone else had a nice weekend!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! Here I am in my Tigger costume. I didn't go trick-or-treating, but I helped Mom hand out candy and loved it when the doorbell rang! I waved bye-bye to all of the trick-or-treaters. It was great fun! I can't wait till next year when I get to go trick-or-treating!

Roar....here I come!

Ok, I've had enough of this costume picture thing!

Fall Fun!

This weekend I went to stay at Grandma and Grandpa's so that I could go to the Apple Orchard. First, I had to eat breakfast. Grandma, what is this thing?



Mom, do I have to wear this winter coat? It's not very comfortable.

We went to the pumpkin patch too. I was pretty tired by then so Mom left me in my stroller to get pictures.

Grandma got this shot of me in the car ready to go home. I was a tired boy!

Rough Week

This week I had tubes put in my ears so that I stop getting so many ear infections. The surgery went really well, and I did really well AFTER the surgery. Before was a little different story. I didn't get to eat anything, and I had to stay in a little room with just Mom and Dad for over 1 1/2 hours!

Here is Mom and me before we went into the pre-op area.


I tried everything to get out of that room.

I pouted...


I tried to escape...

and I tried to get the nurse's attention to let me out...none of it worked!

Here I am at home and mellow after my surgery.

Happy 1st Birthday to Me!

We celebrated my birthday today! It was GREAT! I really liked the presents (of course the boxes were the best part), and I enjoyed my cake too.

Since Uncle Jay's birthday was this week too, we celebrated both. Isn't it great that the cakes works for both of us?? My cake was the Elmo cupcake that Amanda made for me. See below to find out how I liked it...

Yep, I liked it!

Here is the Elmo balloon that I wasn't too sure about. I think Mom really got it for herself!

Mom tried to get a picture of me and Uncle Jay. Uncle Jay is sitting in my chair and everything, but I wouldn't cooperate! I am a toddler now you know...I'm not supposed to sit still!

New Tricks

Here are a couple of tricks I have learned in the past week. I FINALLY learned to clap! Mom doesn't know that I actually knew how a long time ago; I was just waiting for the right toy to use it on.

I also started to initiate playing peek a boo. I don't need an adult to start the fun. I can do it myself!

Our House

I told Mom that we had to put some pictures up of our new house since she hasn't really showed the rooms. Here are a few....

Here is the Master Bedroom...

The Kitchen...

Looking at the Kitchen from the Family Room...(the fireplace is on the right side)

The Dining Room aka My Playroom (Mom says it won't always be that, but I think I convince her to keep it a playroom)...

The Living Room (aka My OTHER playroom)...

My room still isn't done, and neither is the office so those rooms will be posted when they are closer to finished!

Moving

Here are a few random pictures from before we moved. I don't miss our old apartment at all! I had no idea how much space a house has!

OK, I kind of miss the deer on the wall...especially when Uncle Jay was here because then I could touch it!




I was helping do laundry...



Dad and I like to wrestle. Dad was winning this time, but as you can see it doesn't bother me at all! I need my daily wrestle or I get ornery!

Finally, an update!

Well, I am all moved in now and Mom FINALLY found her camera cord so I can show you some pictures of me in my new house and what I have been doing the last month. I really like my new house. I get to walk A LOT (holding onto Mom or Dad's hands) because there is so much to see. I know where the doors to outside are (I want to go to those often), and I know which room is my bedroom (I don' t want to go there because it might mean nap time).

Here I am walking around my new living room...


I was helping unpack and found out that empty boxes are fun to play in!

Here is one of my latest tricks...SO BIG!

Here I am on my deck. I love to play outside, especially when Dad gives me twigs to play with!

I like to climb on stuff and see what everything is. Grandma was helping me...
