Some Time with Family...

December 29, 2008...Gigi, Great Aunt Lori, & Lindsey

came to my house for a visit & lunch. I played with Lindsey most of the time.
December 26, 2008...I went to see some of my family today.
Gigi is in town from Florida, and she is staying at Aunt
Lori & Uncle Rob's house. I was still not feeling good today,
but I had fun playing with the pool balls with Uncle Rob.
Everyone gave me lots of attention.

Gigi & me...

Lindsey is reading my new book from Gigi to me.

It is an awesome book!

Here are my cousin, Kathryn, & Richard. They just got

engaged and will be getting married in October!!!

I Was Sick on Christmas...

December 25, 2008...Merry Christmas! I was feeling pretty bad on Christmas Day. I wanted to have fun, but I was so sick. I could barely open my presents at Grammy & Grandpa's house. I was spoiled by everyone and have so many great new toys.

Here I am playing with my new

Little People construction set from Daddy & Mommy.

Opening a gift for Reese with Daddy.
Opening a Little People book!!!

Playing a flute (for the bathtub) from Daddy & Mommy's

friends, the Sharkeys. This cheered me up!

At Grammy & Grandpa's house...

What I really wanted...a backhoe loader from Tookie Toys!!!

Thank you, Uncle Matt!

I'm 2 1/2 Years Old...

December 23, 2008...I am now a 2 1/2 year old!!! I can do some serious talking. I am usually talking about something at any point during the day. I've been saying "no" a lot more now, too.
My favorite foods are strawberry & banilla yogurt, sweet potatoes, "Elmo" crackers, cinnamon Goldfish, burgers, broccoli, bread, pepperoni and eggs, and I love to drink rice milk. I love to read books with Mommy before naptime and bedtime. My favorite books lately have been Here Comes Santa Claus; We Wish You a Merry Christmas; Animalia; National Geographic Kids magazine (about penguins & Weddell seals); Baby Animals magazines; Little Bear; Bob's White Christmas; I Went Walking; Curious George; and Eric Carle's Animal Homes. I like doing crafts with Mommy, going to the grocery store with Daddy, playing with my Little People, playing with all my diggers, playing with my train at Grammy & Grandpa's house, watching "Bob the Builder" with Grammy, hugging Reese, eating snacks out of my snack cup, playing at the YMCA while Mommy exercises, seeing Uncle Matt, helping Mommy & Daddy cook, going to Grammy & Grandpa's house, and watching my favorite show, "Little Bear," and my Little People DVD. I still love my stuffed animal, Little Bear, and I always am carrying so many things in my hand, wherever we go. This month I've especially enjoyed opening my advent calendar every day. I've been getting treats, toys, and stickers so far. I am a good boy, but I am definitely showing signs that I am a two year old! Life is still so good...

December 17, 2008...Playing with my trains. We had to

put my train table away so we could put our Christmas

tree in its place. So, now I like to set it up on the floor.

December 14, 2008...I love Reese!
Having fun with Daddy at the park...

Making Christmas Treats VIDEO...

YUMMY!!!!!!!

December 13, 2008...Daddy & Mommy took Reese & me to a Christmas parade today. I had a great time watching the floats, dancers, and all the vehicles. Here are some pics from the parade...

In the car on the way to the parade...

They were passing out yummy treats...

These little truck cabs were my favorite part. They

were turning around in circles!!!

Daddy got us some hot dogs, fries, & lemonade.Here I am with Mommy & Reese...
Just as we were leaving, we got to see Santa & his reindeer...

Christmas Card Photo Take Two...

December 10, 2008...Mommy's second attempt at capturing the perfect photo for our Christmas card this year. Reese was cooperating, and I wasn't on my best behavior.

This was our Christmas card photo for 2008. Mommy thought

it captured Reese & me perfectly...minus my messy hair.

Here are some photos that didn't make the cut...

Another Trip to Marbles Museum...

December 9, 2008...Mommy took Reese & me to Marbles Museum today. We met my friends, Camden & Tyler, there. We had so much fun!

Here I am with a stuffed dolphin...

Cooking with Camden...

December 5-7, 2008

December 7, 2008...Here I am making a peanut butter pine

cone bird feeder to hang outside. I had fun putting the bird

seed on the peanut butter.

It worked!!! The birds loved my pine cone.

December 6, 2008...Here I am at a bonfire eating smores

with Madison as we celebrated her 6th birthday. Daddy

and Madison's daddy work together.

Hard to get a good shot of me eating my smores in the dark!
December 5, 2008...Here I am playing with my Little People
Santa parade that Auntie Lish sent me. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
I've got all my Little People lined up to watch the parade.
(Mommy tried to upload a video of me playing with it, but
she is still having trouble with it.)

I love Reese!
