Happy New Year!

Happy new year! Since this is my first post for 2010, it technically is still a New Year's celebration.

2010 is really shaping up to be a super busy year. I've had so much going on it's hard to know where to start filling in; I figure the best place is to start at the beginning. After Christmas my grandma came to visit. We had a wonderful time and she let me do her hair! I love doing hair, particularly grandma's hair because she let me put in tons of hair bows and ribbons.

After she left I got a cold; I think it's because I missed her so. And since babies can't keep anything to themselves, I shared it with mommy and daddy. Then, daddy picked up a bug (not a real bug bug, but a sick bug), probably at work and got really sick. He had to go to the hospital for many days. I missed him and asked about him every night. It wasn't all bad while he was in the hospital because I got to stay with my Auntie Tara. I had a wonderful time at her house and got to watch Dora and dance and play with my cousins. She also let me have Fruit Loops for breakfast.

After daddy came back home, my kitty, Cleo, went to heaven to be with God. I hear she's having a good time but I'd rather that she came home. I miss her and Pouncer misses her too... lots. I pet him more to make up for not having Cleo here but I don't think he likes it much.

Then, my friends Kayla and Amber both had birthday parties and of course I had to go to those. I love a good party with ice cream, good friends, and lots of happy cake. And, I've been having a blast cooking in my kitchen that my friend Rosemary sent me. Oh, yeah, we're going to see my Uncle Iyorliam and Auntie Sherry in a couple of weeks... All in all a very busy year so far! Here are some new pictures for you to enjoy. Talk to you later.

My grandma makes a great hair model. She sat very still and let me work my magic.

These pictures are from Amber's birthday party. I had lots of fun going down the big slide again and again and again. My friend, Miss Megan, was also there to help me get happy cake off my face.

I really love my new kitchen. Check out all the cool stuff that came with it. Really snazzy!

Grandma, here's the front and back of my new hairdo that mommy was working on when you called.

Merry Christmas

Wow! What a wonderful holiday! I usually refrain from using exclamation points in my writing but this time they are well deserved. It was such a beautiful, great, amazing, fantastic day that it deserved two exclamations right out of the gate.

I had a visit from Santa and he left me lots and lots of goodies. My baby doll got a stroller but I got a princess dress, princess t-shirt, princess stickers, and a princess book. Lest you think a theme has developed, I also got a vacuum cleaner. It was my absolute favorite. It makes noise just like the one mommy and daddy use and it's all mine, mine, mine.

I was so excited with all the presents, I couldn't take a nap. So I was good and wired when my cousins and auntie came over. We had such a great time laughing and playing. They just left, not too long ago. I'm headed to bed but wanted to show you pictures of us having a lovely time together. Hope you had a Merry Christmas! Talk to you later.

Christmas Picture 2009

This year's Christmas picture photo shoot was much easier than last years. Mommy was able to get the picture in less than 10 minutes. That left me more time to play with baby Jesus in the Nativity scene.

Christmas is a very busy time of the year for babies. With all the baking, singing, decorating, and such, there's little time to get to the computer. Sorry. But, to make up for not posting much this month, here are some other pictures of me playing and from the Christmas festival at Stone Mountain Park. Hope you are having a wonderful Advent season. Talk to you later.

Happy Turkey Day

Here's hoping you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your friends and family.






This Thanksgiving I discovered parades... lots of them. They were on every channel; it was great. I saw the Yo Gabba Gabba float, the Dora balloon, Kermit, Snoopy, and the marching bands.

For some, Santa is the highlight of the parade. But I don't know who he is, so for me. the best part was seeing the Rockettes doing their high kicks. I did some too; it was really fun. Maybe one day I can be a Rockette.

After the parades, breakfast, and a nap we had a lovely dinner with ham, macaroni and cheese, dressing, green beans, and sweet potato souffle. We talked about what we were most thankful for. For me, it was you--my friends and family. Oh, and swings, Mr. Ribbit, and my Brown Bear puzzle game, and my Dora books, and slides, and Baby Tad, and my princess card, and the great playground near my house, and my tea set... you get the idea.

After dinner, daddy and I went to the Hawks basketball game. It was really fun. Altough it was my first basketball game, I'm happy to say I am now a huge fan of the game. We had such a wonderful day, hope you did too! Talk to you later.

Trick or Treat

Halloween, Halloween, trick or treat, what fun! Did you know that if you go to someone's door and say trick or treat they will give you candy? Try it; it worked for me... again and again tonight. Mommy and I went over to Miss Gina's house for a Halloween party and marshmallow roast. We were all dressed up in silly, cute costumes. After a quick dinner, we went trick or treating in the neighborhood. I tried to keep up, but was slowed down by the tasty goodness in my pumpkin. A nice lady gave me a lollipop and I had to taste it immediately. I think I ate 4, maybe 5, lollipops tonight but I lost count. Mommy took my pumpkin to keep me from eating more. I have to find it. Talk to you later.

Continuing to Celebrate

I like having a birthday week; there's been so much going on. Yesterday, for my birthday, we went to Berry Patch Farms to see the pumpkins. There weren't that many pumpkins to see but we had fun with the few that were there. The farm was very far from the house so I sang and danced to entertain everyone on the drive up.

Once we got there, we were surprised to see there were only a few pumpkins. We came last year and there were lots to see. Oh well... our fun was in being together. And, as you can see from the pictures, I found a couple to sit on... and met a very nice scarecrow.

After our nap, we went to Maggiano's for dinner. I wasn't really hungry but mommy let me eat a whole pat of butter, much to grandma's chagrin. Hey, you're only a baby once and butter really is tasty. You should try some. Talk to you later.

My Birthday Week

Tomorrow is my birthday but I started celebrating early. Thursday, I shared birthday cake with my friends at Miss Janette's; it was chocolate. Then, on Friday, my grandma got here from Detroit. And today, we had a big party with lots of friends and family at the jumpy place. We ran and played and went down the super big slides. I had a really good time. After playing, we enjoyed McDonald's french fries and cake. The cake had Dora and Diego on it. It was very tasty.

All that playing wore my out so when we came home I took a nice long nap; I think mommy, daddy, and grandma did too. Then we went to my favorite mexican restaurant and they sang happy birthday to me there too!

Now, I'm off to bed and daddy is putting together my new Dora tricycle. Today was a great day; tomorrow will be too. Talk to you later.
