More Relaxing

We continued our relaxing, now that we had a very rainy day. I am not the biggest fan of the rain and always have a grumpy moment. Today I woke up screaming from my nap. Mommy and Daddy had a hard time figuring out what was wrong. Eventually Daddy got me to go back to sleep and then I woke up a few minutes later happy. I guess it was a bad dream. I can't remember it, so I'm happy about that. I'm looking forward to going back to school tomorrow to see my friends.

Relax

Today I had a nice and relaxing day at home with Mommy and Daddy. We did all the usual things, such as playing, watching videos, reading books. It was nice to wind down from the busy Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving - Part Two

Today I went to my Grandmom and Granddad Wilson's house. We couldn't celebrate Thanksgiving with both parts of the family in the same day, so we had part two. I was very surprised to see so many aunts and uncles today. I thought it would only be a few people. I missed seeing Aunt Patti though. I haven't seen her in a while. I got to see Aunt Bev, Uncle Norm, Noelle and Ray last weekend, so it is ok that I missed them yesterday. Mommy got to talk to Noelle on the phone yesterday and I heard her wish us a Happy Thanksgiving. I thought that was so nice. She was so excited to talk on the phone with Mommy.

Mommy noticed yet another tooth today. Now I have eight teeth: four on the top and four on the bottom of my mouth. Uncle Greg also took some time out to play with me while Mommy was helping with dinner and I thought it was really nice. I enjoyed my turkey again today. This time it had vegetables mixed in and I seemed to like that better than yesterday when it was just with gravy. I also had a little of Grandmom's mashed potatoes. Since Aunt Sharon and Uncle Scott were late I finished my whole dinner before everyone else started. Aunt Chris had me laughing so hard by blowing her hair and making silly faces at me that I got the hiccups. My other Aunts and Uncles also took time out to encourage me to say hi and try to make me laugh. I had so much fun. Mommy didn't take that many pictures today, but there is one picture and a video below.

Grandmom and Grandad had some goldfishes, so I got to have my snack with Daddy.

Grandmom was encouraging me to play the Xylophone and you can see how I did in this video.

My First Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Today Mommy noticed that I got a new tooth up top. That makes seven teeth in my mouth now. After I woke up from my nap, Mommy and Daddy got me ready to go to Aunt Liz and Uncle Bill's house for Thanksgiving. Mommy had been telling me about it for the last few days and I was getting excited to see everyone. I knew that something special was happening because Mommy was making brownies and lasagna. I got to play with my toys in my pack and play while she was cooking, but she kept coming over to tell me what she was doing. It was so much fun to see everyone. I was so sleepy after I ate my first taste of turkey, but I stayed up to hear the music playing. Daddy and his cousins were having a jam session. Mommy said it was too loud up there for me to go upstairs, so I stayed and hung out with some other relatives. Everyone was impressed at how well I behaved with all of those people. Here are some pictures and videos from my first Thanksgiving!

Here I am with my Grandma Kulp.
I recognize her now and when I saw her I lifted my arms up so she could give me a hug.

I thought Niles was awesome and I kept trying to pull his hair.
He barked a little while later and it didn't scare me, in fact, I laughed.

Aunt Liz had this great toy for me to play with and Grandma helped.

Pictured here are my cousin Hailey, my Aunt Mandy and my cousin Abby.

Here's where I was eating my turkey and sweet potatoes with Daddy's help.

This is my cousin Carin. She is so cool.

Mommy took a little video of me playing with Grandma.

Here is a short video of me trying to stand up to see my Great Grandma.
It was great to see her smile.

New Word: Hi

Today I was a sleepy girl in the morning. I did a great job eating my cheerios. I also had goldfish for the first time and I loved them. I had fun trying to shake the gate like Paul. I was cruising all over the room to get to all the toys that I wanted to play with. I giggled when I heard baby Andrew laughing. And I said "Hi" to Ms. Laura and then I said it again until she said "Hi" back to me. Ms. Laura was very impressed.

Computer

Today I was very sleepy in the morning. Ms. Stacy laid me down to heat up my bottle but I fell asleep before it was ready. When I woke up I was not very interested in my bottle but I ate my lunch with enthusiasm! I played with the stationary baseball game today and I like it. I also discovered the "computer" in the pre toddler room and I loved it!

In the evening I ate some of my pasta. I am still getting used to this texture thing, so I didn't eat much, but I'm trying. I had some apple vanilla granola afterwards and my bottle. I was very good watching Baby Einstein while Mommy talked on the phone to try to solve our internet problems. She's pretty good at that sort of thing.

Piano

Today I discovered yet another piano, which I enjoyed for quite a while. I also learned how to play with the mini speak and say. I was very vocal today - I scared the bejesus out of Andrew, when I quacked at him loudly.

Daddy gave me pasta for dinner, but I wasn't that fond of it. I had applesauce and lots of snacks (cheerios and puffs). Mommy was out getting more food for me, so I would have a variety for the rest of the week. I also helped Daddy life weights by trying to push them away from him. I watched Daddy play the drums too. And we did a little bit of dancing to the Polkas. We also watched some Simpsons and Baby Einstein. Mommy gave me a bath when she got home and then I went to bed.
