Christmas Eve (On the third day of Christmas...)

On Christmas Eve, Coco and Bruceki drove up from Houston and we went to Maggiano's at Northpark for a Christmas Eve feast. We intentionally parked on the opposite side of the mall so we could walk it off afterwards. Here we are walking through the mall...

Ooooh, that's pretty! Come on Daddy!

Christmas Eve eve (On the second day of Christmas...)

On Christmas Eve eve (yes, two eves) we went over to Gramz and Grampz for another Christmas. KK (that's Aunt Kandy), Uncle Riney, and Aunt Amy came all the way from California and we got to open presents again. I loves me some wrapping paper! We don't have any pictures of this right now, cause Mommy and Daddy were too busy keeping me out of trouble, since I had recently "perfected" walking and was in to everything. Hopefully, some of the other menfolk will get us some pictures though so that you can see me, cause after all- that is why you're here right?

Anyways, here's Aunt Amy, me, and Mommy in our Christmas Eve pajamas in front of the Christmas tree at home.

My First Christmas! (On the first day of Christmas...)

We got together with some of the family the weekend before Christmas. I got lots of really cool paper and stuff that makes loud crinkling noises when you mess with it! Oh, and there were some clothes and things too, but the paper was definetly the best part!

Look- Great Grandma got clothes under her paper too!

My first Thanksgiving!

So, on Thanksgiving Day, we went over to Granddad and Gigi's for their annual giant family celebration, but we didn't stay too long, cause Daddy got to go to the Cowboys' game with Granddad and Aunt Jen. Here they are at the game, along with the guy who got them tickets.

The next day, Mommy and Daddy and Uncle Matty cooked their first ever Thanksgiving, which turned out pretty well, considering it was the first time any of them had tried to cook turkey! I kept an eye on them and made sure they didn't burn down the house or anything.

Hi Everybody!

Whoa... tryptophan!

Daddy trying to look like me!

Silly Daddy- he tried to make his hair look like mine! Didn't he know he could never look so cute as me!

(He actually got it shaved as a charity thing that they did at school, if you believe that!) I cried when I first saw it, but it was fun to play with.

Growing so fast!

So, check me out- no baby tub! That's right, sittin' in the big kids' tub! Still waiting for my hair to come in, but I think bald is beautiful!

Ahh, the things you find at Costco!

What do you mean "which one am I?" I'm the one with all the pudgy rolls, making the funny face and sticking my hand out to the side! Oh.

Yeah, okay, I see what you mean now.

Trip to Waco

We took a quick day trip down to Waco to see some of the fam. Here's me with my daddy's cousin Carly...

and then sleeping on my Coco (daddy's mommy)!

My 1st Halloween

So, since this year is my first Halloween, Mom and Dad decided to do what they apparently do every Halloween- turn off all of the lights and hide in the back of the house! Actually, they did consider taking em out, but since I was having ear infections on a regular basis and it was pretty cold that day, we just stayed in! Maybe next year!

Here I am trying on Mom's "Cat in the Hat" costume (or at least the hat) that she wore to school that day!

I'm so cute- and decent! Notice how I strategically cover myself to remain appropriate.

*yes, this was actually posted 5 months later!

Back to School for Mommy and Daddy

Ugh! How cute am I? It's hard to contain me within my crib anymore, now that I'm mobile! Here I was supposed to be napping. Yeah right!

Sitting up was cool and so was rolling over, but I'm on a mission. If I could keep my balance, I'd be running all over the place.

Forget expensive toys, just tickle me with a water bottle and I'm golden!

Summer Ends

In early August we went to Brownwood for my first wedding. We stood outisde most of the time because I wanted to make noise, but I sure looked cute!

Wow, these hotel beds are huge! Especially when you're only 20" tall!

A few weeks later, mommy's Aunt Amy came to visit. She brought me some super cute clothes from Cali!

And these are just some more of me being stinking cute, like always!

Me and daddy wrestling on the floor!
...but eventually I won!

More summer pics

I started trying to crawl this summer, but I wasn't real happy about it. Mommy and Daddy kept making me try, but I got it finally.

So much happier in this picture. There must be food nearby!

In July, we went to Kansas to visit Gramz's mom and dad. I got some new friends along the way, and also had lots of time for napping. These are my freinds Robin Hood and Bella Bunny, they kept me company while I slept.

Aunt Kandy went with us too. She and Gramz had fun with me there.

So did Great-Grampz!

Mommy's New Hair!

Mommy got her hair cut short a few weeks ago so I wouldn't pull on it anymore! Isn't it pretty!?!
She said she's gonna do the back even shorter next time! She's such a hip mommy!

Some more cute pics

This outfit was sent to me all the way from "the Motherland" (that's England, for those that aren't in to the history of our country).

I tried to wake up Daddy, but he was a bum!

My 2nd Trip to a Museum

So, technically this is my first trip to a musuem, but also it was my 2nd, because exactly one year ago my Mommy and Daddy went to the Star Wars exhibit in Fort Worth. And that night they found out that I was coming! So, I was kinda there a year ago, but this time I got to actually see stuff.
HELP! I'm stuck on this giant sculpture man!
They even had a babysitter at the museum for me!

Our First Independence Day

On the 3rd, we went to Kaboom Town in Addison with Gramz and Grampz and Uncle Matty. Grampz kept me entertained in the car on the way there...

...but once we were there I taught Mommy and Daddy a few things about cards. I told Daddy that he's not suppossed to show his cards, but he doesn't listen!

On the 4th, we went down to Waco to see Granny and Coco and Bruski. We had lots of fun playing on the floor, and saw lots more fireworks on the way home.
