Christmas 2009

It didn't really feel like Christmas with no snow on the ground, but what do you expect when you live in the South. We had lots of rain and wind on Christmas Eve. I wondered if Santa would be able to get to all the good boys and girls. But Mommy said that Santa always finds a way to get the presents to everyone. And of course she was right. I had a bunch of presents under the tree when I woke up Christmas morning. We didn't open presents til later in the day. Mommy and Daddy wanted to make sure I had a nap before we opened presents so I would be in a good mood.

When I woke up from my nap Mommy put all my presents on my Tinkerbell table and took a picture of me with all my gifts. Then she took them all off and only gave me a few at a time. At first I wasn't sure what to do with the presents, but Daddy showed me how to open one and after that I went nuts with ripping open the wrapping paper to see what was inside. Mommy was taking pictures but I was going threw them so fast that she couldn't keep up.

From my Great Aunt Linda I got 2 new outfits, From Great Grandma Margie I got a book that talks to me when I push the buttons, a pair of socks, lotion, rubberbands for my hair, and a new shirt, From Grandma Smith I got a pair of froggie jammies, a jogging suit, a pink bunny, and some mittens. One of the mittens has a frog on it, From Santa I got a stuffed puppy that has its own carrying case, and from Mommy and Daddy I got a book that talks it is from LeapFrog. Guess it is suppose to help me talk and learn different things.

All in all I had a great Christmas, I can't wait til next year to do it all over again.

Merry Christmas Everyone.

Tinkerbell

Daddy got me some new Tinkerbell jammies and a Tinkerbell table and chairs. I love the jammies they are so soft and warm. The Tinkerbell table is really neat. I can draw on the top of the table and it wipes right off. So now I don't have to ask Mommy for paper anymore. I just need to ask Mommy for the maker.

Went to the dr. on the 23rd of November, I weigh 23 1/2 lbs and I am 35 inches tall. The dr. says I am about 4 lbs underweight. Bring on the sweets. Just kidding. The dr also talked to Mommy and Daddy about getting me into speech theraphy. Since I am not talking yet. Mommy and Daddy want to wait til the first of the year to have me tested to see if I qualify. Will keep everyone posted.

Sitting on a tractor

Here I am sitting on a tractor. Mommy said that my Grandpa Wayne has a tractor just like it on his farm.

Look at me

We came across wooden cut out of corn so I poked my head in the hole so Mommy could take my picture. Don't I look cute?

Playing in the corn

While we where at the farm today we came across an area that had bins and boxes of corn to play in. Mommy said when she was younger she would play in the corn. It was alot of fun.

Riverview Mounds Century Farms

Today we all went to Riverview Mounds Century Farms. I got to see goats, sheep, llamas, chickens and pony. I had fun feeding the goats and sheep. I wasn't to sure about the llamas. They are really big animals. I even chased a chicken around for awhile trying to catch it. The chicken was smart and went back into the fenced in area.

Mommy and Daddy had a fun time watching me interact with the animals since this was the first time I have seen goats and sheep. I kept saying HI to all the animals and waving at them.

Pictures from Standing Stone State Park

Here are some pictures Mommy took while we where exploring the Park. We saw turtles swimming in the water, and we even saw a rat snake in the water. We had lots of fun exploring.

NOTE-- The pictures are smaller then usual so I could put more on this post.

Camping trip 2009

We all went camping for Mommy's birthday. We went to Standing Stone State Park. It is about 2 1/2 hours from our house. And Daddy said he was proud of me for being so good on the way there. Once we got there we stopped at the playground first so I could run around and play for a little bit before it got to dark.

Our cabin was really nice, it was almost like being at home. The cabin had a kitchen, bathroom, living room and a bedroom. The park was nice enough to supple a playpen for me to sleep in. The living room had a fireplace in it and Daddy lit the fireplace after we finished supper. I stayed away from the fireplace. Daddy said it was HOT.

When it was time to go to bed I wanted nothing to do with the playpen. I think I am a little to big for it. When Mommy laid me down I cried and wanted out. So Mommy and Daddy tried to lay with me on the couch. I fell asleep in Daddy's arms and when Mommy tried to lay me in the playpen I woke up and started crying again. Finally around midnight I fell asleep with Mommy on the couch. Guess I am not used to sleeping in different places. Maybe next year it will be better.

Playing with a Turtle

Mommy and I where outside playing outside and our next door neighbor came over with a turtle to look at. He put the turtle on the ground and it was hiding in his shell. He did come out after awhile and started crawling away. I chased after it and watched it crawl. I petted his hard shell, and even tried to push him along a little faster. Turtles crawl really slow.

Thank you Grandma Smith

I got a package from Grandma Smith, and she got me a garden doll, a frog shaped body wash, and a cute shirt. Mommy got pictures of everything but the shirt.

Thank you very much for my presents Grandma.

I thought the frog shaped body wash was something to eat, Daddy told me it was for the bath, but I had to try and eat it anyway. I am a kid you know.

I am 2 Yrs Old

August 21st I turned 2 yrs old. Hard to believe how fast the time has gone. I am becoming more independent everyday.

Mommy's friend Miss Retta got me a balloon, a frog cake and a birthday card for my birthday. Thank you very much Miss Retta.

I was a little afraid of my birthday cake, I wasn't sure what to do with it. But once Daddy gave me a taste of the frosting, I dug right into it. All I ate was the frosting, who needs the cake part. So I had a pretty good sugar buzz after all that frosting. So Mommy and Daddy took me to the park to run it off.
