Christmas

Christmas was really special this year because it was my very first one! I got to spend time with my daddy in the morning and then I went to my cousin's house where we ate, opened presents, and played Rock Band on the Wii! Here I am in my Christmas outfit...

Here I am opening my very first presents ever! I really just wanted to eat the paper and play with the bows. I guess toys are cool too, but they aren't as crinkly and shiny!!

I also went for a ride on my blanket-- it was AWESOME!!

Here is a video...

I hope you had a very Merry Christmas as well!!!

Trip to Chicago

I went on my very first plane ride this last weekend. It was SO awesome! I was so good that a pilot gave me a pair of wings to pin on my shirt!!

I went to Chicago to visit my Uncle Ian and Aunt Jackie!!

There was one traumatic moment of the trip....

when Mommy dressed me up in a reindeer outfit.

Uncle Ian tried to make me smile, but it didn't work...

I finally got happy when they made me a naked baby.

In fact, I laughed for the first time on camera!!

After that Uncle Ian gave me a surfing lesson....

As you can see, it was an AWESOME first trip!!

Milestones

So this last month was full of milestones for me. I got in my first bouncy chair and LOVE it! It's so nice to be able to stand up like a big kid and play!!

Then I got to go on my first bike ride! I was SO excited!! I got to ride around and see all the trees and people...it was AMAZING!!!

Then I finally recognized myself in the mirror for the first time. I am such a handsome devil!!

I have recently started grabbing items. I get a little frustrated because my depth perception is not quite right yet, but I'm getting better everyday!

I even gave myself a hickey on my arm from sucking so hard....Mommy couldn't stop laughing! I didn't really get what was so funny!

And my BIGGEST accomplishment so far happened this morning. I ROLLED OVER!!!!

THANKSGIVING!!!!

I was so grateful this year for spending my first Thanksgiving with such a caring and awesome family! All of my cousin's on my grandma's side were there and we had A LOT of fun! Not only was this my first Thanksgiving it was also the first day I laughed like a big person. I had been attempting to giggle for a few weeks, but I can actually laugh with the best of them now. Mommy says I am growing up way too fast- but boy it's FUN!

Elmo wanted to know if I wanted to take some pictures with him....I couldn't resist!

My cousins Connor and Cindy were trying so hard to make me smile,

I'll admit it worked a couple of times.

You will never guess what these crazy people did next--

They made me wear chicken hats...they called me their "little turkey"--

SO embarrasing!

Mommy and I had not taken many pictures together, so cousin Lindsey took charge and took a bunch of really great shots!

My Chair

So, Uncle JP said I could probably sit up in my chair now and Mommy decided to let me try. Here are pictures of my first time sitting in my big boy chair!

And here is a video...

Halloween

Halloween was AWESOME!!! We went to so many fun costume parties! I dressed up as a bunny...

My mommy was a huntress ( I was her prey)...

Me and my Godmommy- Kristen

I was the most popular one there, but I slept the whole time- tee hee...
