Shopping

Today I was in a fabulous mood! I was quite the mover and shaker. I cruised all along the couch. I played blocks with Gavin and Karli and had a very lively conversation with Baby Jaymeson.

At night I went shopping with Mommy to get some new shoes and a winter hat and mittens. We also got some food and a new outfit and a new pair of jeans. I liked being pushed around in the cart at the store. I was such a good girl. Mommy was very impressed. I played when we got home, while Mommy got my food ready and then I ate. Daddy was not feeling good today though, his belly hurts. I hope he feels better tomorrow so we can play.

I Love Cheerios!

Today I had a loud and active day! Andrew and I had a great time "talking" back and forth to each other. I was even happier when Karli and the boys came in to play. I made lots of phone calls on the Sesame Street telephone. (Perhaps something for my Christmas list?)

Mommy played with me for a while when she got home and then gave me some dinner and Cheerios. Did I mention how much I love Cheerios? They are the best! Daddy gave me my bath tonight so Mommy could have some time to write. I had a great time splashing in the water and then was happy to watch my show and relax before bed.

Hanging with the Big Boys

Today I was in a tremendously happy mood! I played in the pre-toddler room this morning and I LOVED it! I even had my morning snack at the big yellow bucket seat table with the "big boys." I continued my happiness in the baby room straight through lunchtime. After lunch I had a nice long nap from my exciting morning.

In the evening I watched some Baby Einstein and ate my carrots and cheerios. Then I played with my toys and when I was tired of that I played Daddy's Bongo drums and with some of my rattles. I got pretty hungry after that, so I had my bottle. I played with Daddy tonight while Mommy made dinner. He really made me laugh. A short while after that I got very sleepy.

Reading

Today I was very busy playing the "cup game." (Think - shell game.) I did a great job finding hidden toys. I also enjoyed listening to our entire library of books (Quiet Tuesdays!, Yay!) and even "read" a few on my own, until I decided to taste them. Of course, I did a lot of dancing at the Leap Frog table as usual.

I really enjoyed my Cheerios tonight. I kept "telling" Mommy that I wanted more. I am quite a splasher these days, so Mommy and Daddy have to prepare to get soaked when giving me a bath.

Congrats to Barack Obama - our President Elect! There have been so many exciting things happen in this year. I'm so glad to be here for this historical moment!

Counting House

Today I was all about the "Counting House" Book. I really hope Santa Clause brings me one because I ADORE it! (Mommy said I'll get it if I'm a good girl.) I was very happy when Karlie came in to play with me. I wasn't very hungry at lunchtime. I was much more interested in getting down on the floor to play with my friends.

Hanging at Home

Today we had a low-key day at home. We had such a busy weekend so far that we all needed a rest. I didn't know about this Daylight Savings time thing, so I was up at 4am. Mommy was very tired and kept trying to get me to go back to sleep, but I would not. I was up and ready to go. I spent time playing with Mommy in the morning and then with Daddy when Mommy tried to go back to sleep. It was a pretty lazy day, but a good one. I had fun staying home with Mommy and Daddy.

Linvilla Orchards

Today I got up and played with Mommy for a while. I watched Baby Einstein when she got ready for the gym. Daddy was just getting up. I really made him work today. I didn't take my nap until Mommy got home, but when I did it was a long one. I had a bottle when I got up and then we went int he car and went to Linvilla Orchards. It was so much fun.

I went to the playground with Daddy. I drove the Apple Express.

We went in the Tee Pee that was made from corn.

We measured to see how tall I am. It looks like 2 feet, but Mommy thinks I'm a little bit taller than that. We'll find out on the 10th, when I have my check-up.

Here I was a witch, just like Ms. Laura was yesterday.

Here is our family picture.
Thanks to the nice gentleman who took this for us.

Here's my solo shot. I thought that the hay was fun.

A little pumpkin with the little pumpkins!!!

Here I am with Daddy, standing tall.

Yeah! Pumpkins!

I won't worry, Daddy's got me.

On our way home from the orchards we went to the Painted Horse to have dinner. I liked that place. I was so super excited to be there and loved eating my food. I had some juice and Mommy gave me a little bite of her zucchini. Yum!

When we got home we played music. We had the drums out and the tambourines. I loved it. I have some musical expertise already, you can see it here.
