Vroom

I can drive too Dex!

Little bath tub

If Luke can take a bath in the sink then so can I. Plus I know how to use the faucet.

Santa!

Today mommy and grandma took me to the mall to see Santa! He looked just like I thought he would. We waited a really long time (1.5 hours), but it was worth it. For weeks I've been saying I wanted Santa to bring me dinosaurs, candy, drums, a Yo Gabba Gabba boom box, Harry Potter, or Lightning McQueen. But when he asked me what I wanted for Christmas all I could come up with is a candy cane. I hope he knows that I want all that other stuff too.

I told you the line was really long. You can't expect me to stand the whole time. I'm only 2!

Saint Luke

Today mommy and daddy threw a party in my honor. First I got dressed up and went to church. This time our priest rubbed lots of good smelling oils on my head and he washed my hair (not nearly as well as mommy does). He also gave me a candle, a card, and a rose. Then we went home and had a party with Mommy, Daddy, Cole, Grandma, Grandpa, Beth, Mark, Lauren, Mike, Joe and Emma.

Check out my cool outfit. Cole wore it two years ago, but it still looks brand new on me. Here's me and Grandma at church. Cole let me play with his snack cup.

Here is me and my Godmother Beth. She is sooo comfy. So are Lauren and Emma. Women love me.

This was the 3 layer carrot cake that mommy made me from scratch. Everyone said it was really yummy. Hmmmm... how come I only got bananas and oatmeal?

Perspective

Am I really small? Or is this couch really big?

Chef Cole

After always being told to get out of the kitchen, mommy finally let me do the cooking (mostly). I got to make gooey yummy, chocolate chip, sprinkled rice crispy treats.

Another bath?

Cole said he wanted to go swimming, so mommy took us swimming. I thought the kitchen sink was big!

Bath transition

My baby bath tub is getting to be too small and Cole's bath tub is way too big. I guess the kitchen sink is a good compromise. Got any dishes that need washing?

6 month checkup

I'm big, healthy, and smart, of course. I'm also done with my Rotovirus shots and got to drink my flu shot. I'm not sure why I got 3 other shots, I guess they were testing my pain tolerance? I can handle it no problem.

Mass..zzzz

Mommy told me that I will be going to church soon to get my head wet. Today I just went to check it out. I loved the music and all the smiling people. I was even able to toss my pacifier 3 rows in front of me. After a while it made me so sleepy. I'm glad the pews are padded.

Lights!

I'm still sad that Halloween is over, but these lights sure help. I especially like putting the plug in and out of the wall and watching mommy and daddy yell. They don't need to worry. I like electricity and I am careful.

Charlie Brown

Charlie Brown is on the tv with Snoopy. He has a show about Halloween and Thanksgiving. Daddy says he also has a show about Christmas but I haven't seen it yet. Mommy said for now I could see him in the newspaper. Well... he's there all right but it certainly isn't anything like a tv show.

6 months old

I'm 6 months old now! This month I got my first 2 teeth. I started eating cereal, sweet potatoes, green beans, carrots, bananas, and applesauce. They are all my favorite. I can sit up by myself and stand with help. I like to rock on my hands and knees and I can scoot around in circles and move backwards. I love to try to grab things that are just out of reach; with a little effort I always get them. I love to watch people, especially my big brother. He is always making me laugh. I love to play peek-a-boo and get tickled. I can make a lot of sounds now. Squealing is my current favorite. I sleep from 7pm to at least 5:30 am, waking up twice to eat. I take hour long naps at home and 15 minute naps at school. What is my most favorite thing to do? Hmmm... it is a tough choice, but I think #1 is mommy holding me and #2 is eating baby food.
