Old Mother Hubbard went to her cupboard....

And found ME!

Four Generations in one photo

We took advantage of the time north to visit some family we haven't seen in awhile :) While there we also took a photo of all of us girls :) A representation of each generation in our family :)


We did try this once before when I was only a month or so old. I think I look way cuter now :) And mommy's hair is nicer too. What was she thinking?

Thanksgiving

So there is one thing I learned this year at Grandma Dineen's is that there is NO time for sitting around when cooking Thanksgiving dinner!


First you have to mix everything up and measure out ingredients...


Then while it's all cooking you need to do up all the dishes you used to prepare everything...


Then there is a table to be set.



Food to sample to make sure it tastes alright. The cheese passes! It's yummy! The olives are eh...not as good as the cheese.


Then and only then is it time to sit down to eat :)
Look at my plate, it's filled right up with potatoes, squash, corn couscous...why it's only missing the...

TURKEY! Here it is....

Hmmm I'm not sure about this...


And on the floor it went...

So then after we've all eaten turkey and other things...it's time to relax...NOPE...time do MORE dishes!



Yeesh! I don't want to hear the words Thanksgiving dinner for atleast a year!

Happy TURKEY Day!

I hope everyone gets to eat lots of turkey today! Including me!

Some videos of moi :)

silly silly daddy...penguins are funny :)

Look at what happens when I play with mommy's ribbon...

Playing Outside :)

I love getting outside...and a week ago (since mommy is a little slow at getting posts up) I got out! It was SO nice out! Look I didn't even need a real coat :) Mommy and daddy even brought my ball out!


Hey wait...what is that...it's a bird...it's a plane...why no wait...it's a...

PUPPY! I got to meet and play with our neighbors pup Snowbear :)

I liked watching the puppy run around...but he started giving me way to many kisses for my liking, so I sat on mom's lap.


After Snowbear went in we played with the ball more :) Daddy tried to play catch with me...but I was busy looking at everything.


I see you mom taking my picture ;)
Aww what a fun time we had ...

... but now it's time to go in...lets go Daddy.

Penguins!

need I really say more...

Working Out...like Mommy :)

Starting out with just some two handed curls :)


Sometimes during the hard parts you need to just focus on a spot and count...1..2...3...

Now some two armed thingies.


And this well this is my special move..of lifting one in the arm while letting the other arm drop while lifting my leg in a hip flexor.

Ahh...now don't forget to stretch it out afterwards...


Alright...all done :)

Toddler Halloween Party

So I wanted to see what my friend's parents made them dress up like, so I decided to have a party. This is my friend Jocelyn, she was a ladybug :)


Then Ireland was there too in her unicorn costume :)


She held my hand and led me around. Now I don't know what other princesses do, but I thought it was pretty cool having a unicorn :)


This is her little brother Grayson, he was a pumpkin :)

Oh and here is everyone since mommy didn't get good pictures of all my friends by themselves...
The twins are doctors, then you see Grayson and Ireland, Ireland is holding Jocelyn, then there is Conner who was a firefighter. Nick and I where in the front...he's a monster :)

15 Months!

So I'm 15 months now. Definitely getting further and further from my babyhood and into toddler hood. According to mommy I'm already there, according to daddy I'm still a baby so I guess the verdict is still out on that one :) So whats the new things I've learned or not told you about before now this month?


I'm an excellent pumpkin stacker. I've had lots of practice this month with all the pumpkin farms we've been going to.


I can totally climb on not only the kitchen chair, but also the couch, rocking chair, mommy's computer chair, the toilet, and to mommy's dislike my little table. She also caught me once climbing up and banging on daddy's big screen tv. So ya...I like to climb :)


I love doing art things. Coloring takes lots of concentration since you have to hold those darn things upright. Painting is fun but messy. I really like doing it all though :) Maybe I take after mommy after all :)


Some of the best toys I've found aren't toys. This is a bag of my old cloth diapers and burp clothes. It was super squishy and super fun to keep jumping on. I also like playing all the rooms of the apartment. When mommy can't find me or hasn't heard something from me in awhile she knows i'm getting in trouble. I usually am playing in the cat food.


Here's a toy mommy made from a pampers wipes container. It's so much fun to put the lids and have mommy or daddy or uncle tom or anyone who is around...open it back up so I can do it again :)

I still like teethers...especially since I'm still getting teeth. I use them more now than what I got my first ones.


Oh and did I mention I'm a princess?

I've learned lots of new words and have added many to my vocabulary...and this is just the start :) You already know I can say dada but mommy thought this video was worth adding to this post since it's cute :)



This isn't my best example at the work ball, but you also get to see my elite climbing skills as I scale the kitchen chair. Once up there I do respond to mommy and daddy's attempts at getting me to say ball for the camera :)



This word i'm REALLY good at already...which is making mommy scared of what is to come...lol. (the word is mine)




Here is one of my newest words: baby :)



Maybe I hear this one too much...but i can say "no no no" too.





If you listen closely you can hear me yell my infamous "bear" which mommy is beginning to realize it might be what I'm calling the cats. Since while outside I could hear Nybbles meowing. Silly adults...why does it take them so long to understand? Don't they look like little bears...I mean they have paws and are furry.





Talking isn't all I can now though. Look I can whistle too :)





Bet you thought I meant not with an actual whistle, lol :)

I can point to my nose too. Sometimes I can my ears and eyes, but this time I just wanted to point to my nose.




I also am a big girl now and help out with some chores...like laundry :)

Mommy has discovered I like peas. When we have them I call them balls. Broccoli is still something I'm willing to eat. Recently for fruit I will eat apples, but mommy isn't getting her hopes about that one too much. I'm still rather picky about food, but I'm growing so I must be eating something alright. Mommy tries to make sure my snacks are okay for me and not something like chips. Puffs aren't the greatest even though they are my favorite, but atleast they are made for babies so they probably have something good for me :) Mommy tries to make me eat cheese and stuff too though...I don't mind...I like those too.


Well I'm off...It's cold out there so bundle up everyone!
