"Special treat"

I went through a phase in January where I was sick for weeks, on and off, with a stomache bug. The upside of this misery, though, was that Mom and Dad introduced me to a special treat they call "popsicles."


Oh yum!

New Bike-icle!

My Uncle Adam and Aunt Amy gave me an awesome new bike as a birthday/Christmas gift.


Every morning I come downstairs saying, "New bike-icle?" to make sure it's still here. (Who can blame me for my confusion? Why would you call it a "bike" if the real word is "bicycle"? Really.)


Thank you Uncle Adam and Aunt Amy. I love it!

The best present of all

I think there were gifts and stuff, but the best part for me was this big box that we used for wrapping paper.


I liked it so much I insisted on eating my breakfast in it.


See, my tray fits right on it like it was made for it!

Christmas secrets

I was so excited to see that Santa came during the night, that I climbed right up into the chair and had a quiet chat with him.


I asked him if he liked my hat, but he didn't answer me.


Thanks for coming to our house, Santa!

O Christmas Tree

Daddy got us a beautiful Christmas tree, which we finally put up the weekend before Christmas.


Mommy hates doing the lights, but I think it's fun.

When I woke up on Christmas morning, it was all decorated, too.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I still love bathtime.

After we wash my body and my hair, it's swimming time.


Once the water's all gone, we do "nite nite tub" where I pretend to go to sleep in the bath tub.


Sometimes, like in this picture, I closely resemble a trussed turkey...


But it's fun fun fun!

My birthday dinner.

After playing, it was time for dinner. We all wore our party hats.


And I spoke to my Aunt Gillian, who wished me a happy birthday.

Then we had cupcakes...YUMM!


And because it was also Chanukah, Nana had jelly doughnuts, too.


It was my best birthday ever!!

Happy Birthday to Me!

I had my 2nd birthday on December 6th. Can you believe it?!

We went over to Nana's house to celebrate. I played with my dump truck.


And Mommy and I played with my workbench.


And the AWESOME drum that Vicki gave me!

Uh-oh. Do you know what happens when you get so caught up playing that you forget to change your diaper...?

A visit from Opa

Opa came to visit us not to long ago. I showed him all the important stuff, like how to work the VCR.


He lost interest, but I kept at it!

More playing.

After dinner we had more play time. For me, that totally meant getting Daddy's belt, Ollie's collar, and Nana's mop and rocking out.


What?

Turkey Time!

Then it was time for dinner.


Hooray for turkey!


I was mesmerized by the candles.


But even more entranced by the sparkler Nana broke out at dessert!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We went over to Nana's house for Thanksgiving dinner. But before dinner, we played!

I love to ride on her carousel horse.


And Daddy and Uncle Adam and I played with blocks,


and jumbo legos.


Good times!
