More Presents!

...and inside the bag was a super cool Build-a-Bear Doggy from my grandma Reba. She made it especially for me! The doggy has his own surfboard and everything! How cool!

My doggy tastes yummy!

Oh boy, a book! I love books! This book is from my "Uncle" Conrad and "Aunt" Sue, and it's about a bear who snores!

Presents!

Here are some pictures of me opening presents! Opening presents was lots of fun! I loved all my presents, especially the crackley wrapping paper and pretty ribbons!

My first present...

Pointing at my present

Checking out the cool horsey that my grandma Reba sent! My buddies Gavin and Hailey also loved my horsey because it makes noise and turns flips! Gavin loved it so much that he tried to take it home!

Reading the touch and feel book from my oma. I love this book, especially feeling the teddy bear's furry belly!

Ummm, wrapping paper!

Inside the wrapping paper was a cool new book from "Auntie" Cathy and "Uncle" Jim! It is fun to read and I love the way board books taste!

Tissue paper, mmmm

Can I eat this daddy, please?

Going inside the bag to find my wonderful surprise...

Stay tuned to find out what was inside the bag... more to come!

My oma and grandpa Dick came to visit me for Christmas! Oma is German for grandma, and since my grandma Erika is German, she is called oma. Here is a video of my oma making me laugh on Christmas morning!

Christmas Morning

Here are some pictures of me from Christmas morning when I was still in my Christmas pjs. Since I'm only awake for a little while before I take my morning nap, I didn't open presents until later on after my nap. It was fun to point at the packages and try to eat the pretty ribbons!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! I had a great Christmas, but I'm a little upset with Santa. I guess he misunderstood me, because he brought me my two front teeth for Christmas, and I did NOT ask for more teeth for Christmas. I just got two last week and didn't want any more yet. So I'm not sure if I'll be so cooperative in Santa's lap next year.

Mommy and daddy took SO many pictures of me for Christmas, so I'll have to post a few each day, because it's way too many for one post. I think I'll start with Christmas Eve!

Santa Claus!

Today I went to see Santa Claus! This wasn't my first time meeting Santa Claus, but this was the first time I got to sit in his lap and tell him what I want for Christmas. I hope he understood all my spit bubbles and tongue clicks? Some other guy with a bigger camera than mommy took pictures but mommy says we don't have a scanner so I can't show everyone those yet so here are a few pictures mommy took while I told Santa Claus what I want for Christmas. Mommy says she didn't turn my red eyes off so they would match my outfit!

I had an alright time with Santa Claus and didn't cry at all, even though I was very tired!

Spinach!

Spinach is the messiest thing I've ever eaten! Yum yum!

First time in a bounce house

My buddy Devon just turned 8, so he had a birthday party with a bounce house. Daddy took me in the bounce house while the bigger boys were playing outside. I didn't mind being in the bounce house, until daddy started bouncing me. Maybe I'll like the bounce house more when I can stand up all by myself?

This is before daddy bounced me...

And this is after daddy bounced me...

Thankfully, daddy cuddled with me to make me feel better!

It was a Sponge Bob SquarePants bounce house. Devon really likes Sponge Bob but his mommy and daddy won't let him watch it. This is Devon's daddy holding me while daddy tells a silly story about waves.

Mommy has a cell phone. I LOVE mommy's cell phone. It is great to gnaw on and lights up and makes noises. Any time I see mommy's cell phone, I am determined to get it, no matter what I was doing before. She tries her best to keep it away from me, but I am very persistent.

I ate peas at the beach!

I got to eat peas for the first time at the beach! Way cooler than the high chair! As usual, I was a good eater and didn't really notice it was something new. The only thing that signals a new food is the presence of the camera. This time, mommy's friend Rebecca took the video. She thought I was the cutest thing ever!

Shoes?

The other day, mommy decided it would be fun to put shoes on me for the first time. I didn't really mind the shoes and wore them for a while before they came off. I don't really mind much of anything, except for having two teeth come in at once. That isn't much fun and is making me feel fussy, but hopefully I'll be back to my normal happy self soon!

Devon was trying to help me walk in my new shoes! But I wasn't really interested in that, so we played with Sophie the giraffe instead!
