Duke vs. Michigan...

On Saturday, December 8, 2007, we got to go to the Duke/Michigan basketball game! It was awesome! I enjoyed eating and watching the Cameron Crazies and all the basketball action! I LOVE basketball...and no, I haven't been converted to a Duke fan!

My Trip to Holland, Michigan...

November 30-December 2, 2007...I went to Holland, Michigan, to visit Nana and Nano (Daddy's parents). We got to fly on a plane, which is one of my favorite things. I love to go to the airport. I must have remembered flying to Michigan in September because I went right to the same spot at the airport to watch the planes, trucks, vans, and people go by. We did lots of fun things in Holland...I went to the Wild Chef for dinner, looked at Christmas lights, saw Santa at the mall, played with tons of cool toys, played in the SNOW!!!, and spent lots of time with Nana and Nano. Here are some pictures from my fun weekend!!! (It was FREEZING in Michigan).

Grammy's Birthday...

I helped Grammy celebrate her birthday on November 26 by going out to lunch with her to Firebird's. I had fun sharing lunch with Grammy and Mommy. I love Grammy so much!!! Here are a few pics from our lunch. Grammy & I can make the same face!

I'm 17 Months Old!!!

Hey everyone! I turned 17 months old on Friday, November 23. I am learning new words every day. I'm still pretty quiet in general (and still LOVE my paci), but I can say touchdown, football, bye bye, cool, cheers, and lots of other words. My favorite word to say is hot. I also like to count things and try to say 1, 2, 3, 4... I am still a good eater, and I really gobble up eggs, cheese, smoothies, yogurt, and broccoli. I've got two new teeth coming in...so I have 10 teeth now. I love to listen to music, especially a CD that Mommy made me. I really love the songs "Rock-a-bye Your Bear," "The Wheels on the Bus," "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes," and "The Itsy Bitsy Spider." I love to dance and do the motions. I love to read books. My current favorites are Dig, Dig, Digging; Created by God so I Must be Special; The Wheels on the Bus; Brown Bear, Brown Bear; I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie; and Peekaboo Kisses. I still love to play with cars and trucks, and now I've enjoyed playing on my train table! I still LOVE bathtime, hugs, kisses, being tickled, playing ladder golf, being outside, playing with Daddy, watching football, being read to, making a mess, and eating!!! Life is GREAT! Giving Monkey a kiss!
Hurry up, Mom...I'm TOTALLY bored!
Hello!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

November 22, 2007...Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I celebrated my second Thanksgiving at home this year. Last year I was in the Big Apple. We spent a lot of time outside because it was really warm...in the seventies. I ate turkey, sweet potatoes, yeast rolls, and a little stuffing. I even got to have a little pumpkin pie!!! That was the best! I had dinner with Daddy, Mommy, Grammy, Grandpa, Uncle Matt, Sara, and our friends, Charlie and Nancy. (Auntie Jo Jo, Uncle Mike, and Charlie had to go to New Mexico to see Charlie's grandpa.) Here are some pictures of my fun day! Future quarterback???
Grandpa & I have the same expression...

How We Celebrated Grandpa's Birthday...

November 20, 2007...For Grandpa's birthday, he wanted to take me to get my second haircut. Mommy, Grandpa, and I went back to J.J.'s Kids Cuts, where I got my first haircut. Grandpa even bought me a fire engine after we were finished. Then we treated him to lunch for his birthday. We had lots of fun!

Halloween Fun...

Hey everybody! I celebrated my second Halloween yesterday, and I had a BLAST!

First, I went to the Fall Festival at Mommy's old school. I saw lots of my mommy's old students and had fun dancing and watching a clown. It was better than last year because I could walk around on my own.

A pair of Jacks...Here I am with the Jack that Mommy

taught when she was pregnant with me.

Here I am with Kate, Abby, Haley, and Mommy. It's been

a fun Fall Festival, but I'm ready for a nap!!!Having fun at the park. (It wasn't cold...Mommy was

just trying to get a good picture for my Christmas card.)Picking up pumpkins is hard work! Here I am with Emily and Sharkey. They are Mommy and
Daddy's friends who came to visit us from San Francisco.

They even introduced Mommy and Daddy!

Here I am with my buddy Camden.

He's the monkey and I'm the puppy!
Trick-or-treating with Daddy and Mommy.

I really didn't want any candy, but I took some

for Mommy and Emily anyway! We went to my friend Bonnie's house. She's the ladybug!
I'm still not sure I really want any candy!
