**** Mommy apologizes, but can’t find the camera cord to post photos, she promises to add them ASAP****
 

This month was so much fun! I had some great times making Christmas cookies, going sledding, and playing with all of the toys that Santa gave me!

I had a very brief, but intense infatuation with ‘Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer Movie.’ I can totally understand why its a classic! So many great songs to sing to, and that silly old elf that wants to be a DENTIST! I laughed and sang along with Rudolf and Sam the Snowman about a million times between Christmas and New Year’s.

I am getting really tall now. Over three feet! I can reach on top of the counters and tables. I  also have been learning to walk up and down the stairs. I have to hold on to mommy’s hand, but I’m getting pretty good!

I really enjoyed spending time with my cousin Luke, aunts and uncles, grandma, grandpa, and grammy over the holidays. They really spoiled me this year with gifts, but the most fun was getting to play and be silly with them all.

This past month has been a rough one. I’ve had a cold, then a cough, then and ear infection. Being sick is not fun, but I’m finally starting to feel better, hopefully mom and dad will stop chasing me around with Boogie Wipes soon!  We did find out that I am 36.5 pounds and 3 feet tall while at the doctor. Who knew I was so big!

Even though I was sick, we still had a lot of fun this month. Mommy and Daddy took me to the zoo -in the dark- to see the pretty Christmas lights and we rode on the train. It was cold out, but I was bundled up in my winter clothes and was wrapped up in my quilt, so I was toasty warm.

We also went to see Santa! I was not very impressed with him, but mommy and daddy seemed to have fun, so I went with it.  He should definitely bring me lots of presents this year, since I’ve been very helpful around the house baking Christmas cookies, moving the tree ornaments around, and cleaning out the kitchen cabinets.

I really love to sing right now. Some favorites are “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” “C is for Cookie,” and “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” I also love all of the music from ‘Follow that Bird’ and the theme song to Thomas’ show. Mommy says that she reminds me of Auntie Roz singing all the time. Maybe I’ll grow up to play music like her some day!

I am really looking forward to this next month. I get to visit all my family for Christmas and hopefully go sledding with my cousin Luke!  Plus, I get to see my Uncle Alan! He is SO BIG AND STRONG! So many fun things to look forward to, I hope you have a Happy Holiday!

I’m no longer a teen-ager! (Well, in months, that is.) I really had a lot of fun this month. Mommy and Daddy took me to the pumpkin patch – they had the best donuts – and trick-or-treating. We played outside a lot before it got too cold, and did lots of other things.

I started going to a gymnastics class and love to run around, roll on the mats, and play under the parachute! We are taking a break from swim class until after Christmas, but I still practice my moves in the tub every night.

Have you ever had graham crackers? I am OBSESSED with them. I could eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner, if mommy let me. I get SUPER upset when I find out they are all gone. I even try to climb into the cabinet to check if they are there.

I’m still really into “Follow that Bird” but “Thomas” has taken the number one spot in my heart right now. Well, maybe number two, if you count my beloved vacuum.

Trucks, cars, and trains are my favorite toys right now. I like to race them all over. I also like to play with my puzzles and read my books. One of my favorite games is “Ready, Set, Go!” with Daddy, he can never catch me!  I also try to jump on the beds whenever I get a chance. I think it is so much fun, but mommy doesn’t agree with me.

I’m really looking forward to this next month, we will be getting ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas and mom says I will get to try out my new winter coat and snow pants soon!
