My First Christmas

I joined Mommy, Auntie Cait, Gramma Kimmy, and Grandpa Ken in the family bed Christmas morning! Yes, I have crazy teeth and an underbite. I'm oh-so-cute!

I wasn't real interested in my stocking.

Or staying by the tree for pictures.

I did like testing out my new clothes.

I liked the bows on presents

I got stripped out of my jammies because it was so hot because of the fire. I watched Grandpa stoke it while I tried out my new shoes

I played with one of my new toys and talked on its phone (I'm so smart! I say "hello" [which comes out "oh"] on the phone, but not on real phones- I'm stubborn like that)

I sat in the wrapping paper trash with my runny nose

And had my first eggs. I'm eleven months old now!

Christmas dress

I wore this to Church the Sunday after Christmas. I looked so pretty, but I wasn't very cooperative for pictures!!

cute dress

This was November 22nd. I had tights on at Church, not silly socks like this!

Crazy teeth! [My front ones are finally amost all the way in now.]

Crazy Arms Dancing

We went to Texas Roadhouse last night for "one last hurrah" before Mommy and I go back to Oregon after our vacation to Georgia for Christmas. I like to dance, but I was stuck in a highchair. When loud music came on (some people were dancing), my arms had to dance!

My first Dork Box

On November 22nd, I got my first "Dork Box." When Mommy was in college, Gramma Kimmy sent her and her roommates packages of goodies for holidays. After awhile, she'd warn Mommy "you're gonna think I'm such a dork" because of the silly things she'd send. Eventually, the packages were termed "dork box" and Mommy and her roommates, and later on Auntie Caitlin and her roommates, loved getting their dork boxes in the mail!

I got lots of new clothes and a special book for Thanksgiving!

Here I am in one of my new outfits. It made my belly look HUGE! (the pictures don't do it justice)

And here I am in another one of my new outfits. Gramma Kimmy loves this one. I'm even wearing it today while Mommy finally updates my blog! These pictures were on my ten month birthday!

Belated Thanksgiving

This year I had my first Thanksgiving! I tried some turkey and seemed to like it.

I look quite cheesily adorable in this picture, huh?

Wandering around the Atlanta airport while we waited for Auntie Caitlin to arrive!

Pictures this week

my cute dress Sunday

I like to take my socks off. I requently walk around with just one. If I've been in the car, I don't have any on- I yank them off during the ride.

Nice shot of my teeth. My front two are finally coming through now.

Serious face.

Mommy found me this sweater at a consignment shop and fell in love with it and made me wear it.

This is one of my dramatic faces. I am a drama queen and act like everything is the end of the world. I'm a spoiled princess and pitch a fit if I don't get my way.

And here I am today in my eskimo coat.

Walking!

This was on November 13th.

I have the cutest laugh!

My first steps on video

I'm taking more and more steps every day! These are the first ones Mommy was able to catch on video.

For those of you waiting...

Here are some pictures!!!On my 9 month birthday.

I HATE wearing bibs, so I yank them off, no matter how hard I have to try. This one said "Baby's First Halloween," so we had to get pictures with it!

In my cute Halloween shirt from Gramma Kimmy


I like to carry things in my mouth.
A nice shot of my crazy teeth!

9 months old

Sorry for no pictures, but Mommy doesn't have a way to get them off the camera right now...

As of my Oct 26th check-up (where I got a flu shot and only cried for a few seconds, but I was pretty dang mad about it; no swine flu shot for me this year):
I'm 18 lbs, 3 oz.
I'm 28 inches tall.
Mommy never pays attention to my head measurement. It's big enough. In percentiles, higher than height (67%) and weight (38%- the doctor called it "thinning out").
After that we officially retired my infant car seat- I'm too long (but not too heavy!).


I can walk! Just a few steps at a time right now, but I'm starting to do it on my own, not just with prompting.

I say yeah, no, mamamamama, dadadadadadadada, woa, oh, ooh, doo, didididididi, and some other things, but no one is sure if I really mean anything. Mostly I say "dada" and "didi" and like to yell them. Mommy is convinced I said "juice" ("dooo!") the other day. I'm smart like that.

I don't cry very loud, but I can yell really loud.

I fake cry really well.

I like to lick things. Anything and everything. Of course I put stuff in my mouth, but if that's not possible, I lick it. I'll get down on all fours and lick the floor if I feel like it.

I like to eat little bits of bread. I know that Great Harvest is the best.

I don't like baby peaches, bananas (though I'll eat them in combo with other thimgs), or sweet potatoes+chicken. I don't like real bananas, either. They're slimey!

I loooooove juice. Water, too. I like to drink out of big people cups.

I still just have four teeth. My vampire teeth are almost all the way in.

My favorite song is "The Wheels on the Bus."

Sometimes when I laugh really hard, I get hiccups.

I like to "cluck"- click my tongue. I'll usually mimic if you do it first or I hear someone do it. I'll also fake cough at you. A lot. I think it's hilarious.

I think it's funny when I sneeze.

If I don't want something, I push it away with both hands.

I don't believe in cuddling, but still, I'm pretty much the cutest baby in the whole world.

First haircut

I got my first haircut on October 5th. I had a few long, weird "bangs" that were getting to be too much, so Mommy gave me some snacks to eat (so I'd hold still!) and chopped 'em off! You can kind of see the long pieces in the picture above

And here I am in the picture below with them gone! (munching on yummy snacks!)

And here I am today in my cute dress!
