It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas....

Last weekend, when we got back from Grandpa's, it was time to decorate for Christmas! Mommy and Daddy bought new ornaments for our tree this year - the shatterproof kind! I was fascinated with the big box of ornaments and couldn't wait to get home and play with them!

I helped to get them all sorted and ready to put on the tree!

I put hooks on each one.

I had to wear my Santa hat to be in the Christmas spirit!

Then I put the ornaments on the tree!

We had so much fun!

Then I took my bath and put on my new Christmas pajamas!

And was ready for bed! Decorating is a lot of hard work!

Thanksgiving at Grandpa's

Daddy, Mommy, and I went to Atlanta for Thanksgiving. I got to fly on an airplane again! We spent a few day's at Grandpa's house visiting Daddy's extended family. We had a great time!

Four Generations:
Me, Grandpa (Tom), Daddy, and Grandpa (Bruce)

Aunt Julie has several grandsons, so she keeps a collection of toys at her house. She was so nice and brought some of them over to Grandpa's house where we were staying so that I'd have things to play with.

One of my cousins (Aunt Julie's grandsons), Benjamin, was born two weeks after I was. So we're only two weeks apart. He's much smaller than I am, though. I thought he was a baby and kept asking Mommy if I could hold him.

I finally go to "hold the baby"!!

Cousin Dawn invited us to her house for dinner and a bonfire. I got to eat a cupcake!

Daddy had fun playing with me to distract me and keep me away from teh big fire!

Up, Up, and Away!

Grannie and Paw-Paw gave me my Christmas present a little early. They wanted me to start enjoying it while there were some pretty sunny days. It's amazing! It's a motorized airplane I can ride! I'm obsessed with airplanes, so it's perfect! Right now, I ride in the remote control mode - someone has to "fly" the airplane for me. Once I learn to drive it, they can change teh settings and let me control it with the foot pedal. I've been taking it for rides down teh sidewalk in our neighborhood. It's so much fun!

18 Months Old

I'm now one-and-a-half years old! I'm growing up so fast! Mommy took me to see Dr. Reed for my 18 month check-up. I am now 35.5" inches tall and 34 lbs. Just half an inch and I'll be able to ride most anything at Disney World next month! Actually.... they checked my height bare-footed, and at Disney I'll be wearing shoes!

It's strange to think that a year ago, my head was barely higher than the back of the chair! Won't be long, and I think I'll need a new bigger chair!

One of my favorite things to do is sit in a basket... the laundry basket, toy baskets... just about any I can find! This is the basket for my Mr. Potato Heads and their accessories. I decided to dump it out one evening and have a seat!
