My Last Post

2010-08-22T09:04:00.001-04:00

Ok, everyone! This is my last post! But not to worry! I would never disappoint my thousands........errrr.........

.......I means my hundreds.....

.....Oh, OK, FINE!!!!....

I would never want to disappoint my DOZENS of fans!!

Anyway, baby Angelo and I were having a little discussion about who's blog was better, MINE (obviously!) or HIS (yeah, right!). Our 'discussion' culminated in a dramatic scene in which I precariously dangled Angelo's blue stuffed puppy, Goo, over the toilet, and Angelo tried to chew the face off of my favorite dolly, GeeGee!!!!

Well, we called a truce and decided to start a new blog that would be OUR blog! :) We figured that since our blogs were so choice when they were separate that they would be SUPER CHOICE if we combined them.

Besides, if GeeGee and Goo can get along, so can baby Angelo and I!!

Happy Birthday to Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2010-08-19T15:22:00.004-04:00

I am two whole years old today!! And....

BIRTHDAYS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MamMaw and Pappy came over at lunch to visit me and they brought me all kinds of cool loot!

My very own princess bracelet!

Books! Books!! Books!!!

And totally choice markers and coloring books! Thank you so much MamMaw and Pappy!

Helping Daddy

2010-08-14T17:21:00.000-04:00

I was helping Daddy wash the car. It was super hot and sunny so we both wore our baseball caps!
Daddy keeps missing spots but I don't want to tell him. It's important to encourage your parents and always tell them that they are doing a good job!

I'll just take care of this myself while Daddy is on the other side of the car!

Following in Daddy's Footsteps

2010-08-06T10:33:00.005-04:00

My Daddy is awesomely awesome!!! He's funny, really smart, and he works really hard. I want to be like Daddy when I grow up!
So, I thought that I would start with something very important: Daddy's Shoes.
Shoes are a logical place to start!

Daddy is super awesome!!! I'm going to have to work pretty hard to fill his shoes!

Love you, Daddy!!!!

Are All Mommies as Weird as Mine is?

2010-08-03T10:22:00.000-04:00

Ok, so I'm not sure what the big deal is! Mommy asked me if I wanted to play with my markers and I said 'yeah.'

So, she gave me my markers and I started playing with them!
I never said that I wanted to draw with them!

I'm not sure why Mommy found this so funny.

Or why she had to take 10 million pictures!

Oh, well. Mommy is weird! I love her anyway though!

Sarah's Party

2010-07-18T19:28:00.001-04:00

Cousin Sarah graduated from school! She worked really hard and now she's a nurse!!

Awesome!

She and Cousin David had a party to celebrate. It was super fun!

When we first got there, Mam-maw helped me down the stairs so that I could look at the fish in the koi pond (yes, you should be impressed that I know how to spell 'koi'!!).
I got to hang out with Cousin Dan. I got sick of smiling in all of the pictures so I decided to improvise. Dan thought that it was funny anyway!

And here's Cousin Abe. He's super fun to hang out with. We ran around the yard like goof-balls. It was great! Especially since Abe was carrying me and doing all of the running!

Here I am with David and Dan! I have to admit that I'm not at my best in this pic...I was feeling a bit peckish. It's hard to smile for the camera when you have rumblies in your tummy!

It's time to strap on the feed bag!

Ok, I had a little snack and I'm back to my usual happy self!

Happy Birthday, Pappy!

2010-07-16T11:11:00.002-04:00

It's Pappy Angelo's birthday! I told baby Angelo and he blew a raspberry. I'm pretty sure that means, 'I love you, Pappy!' Our Pappy is pretty awesome! He's great at swinging us on the swing! He's fun to play with! And he gives awesome hugs!

Happy birthday, Pappy Angelo. We love you lots!

I Sooo Know How to Accessorize!

2010-07-15T01:25:00.002-04:00

Mam-maw Cheryl got me these pretty sparkly headbands. They are super sweet! She got me a ton of different colors so I have one to match almost all of my outfits!!

I showed my new headband to baby Angelo but he didn't seem too impressed. He asked me why I needed a headband when I didn't have any hair!

Hummmphh!!

Who needs hair when you got eyelashes like these?????

It's About Time!

2010-07-12T16:50:00.002-04:00

Finally!!! I get to swim in Mam-maw and Pappy's big pool. It was great! Mam-maw was teaching me how to swim. She was impressed by my skills!
Mam-maw even got me this awesome floatie thing. It clashes something fierce with the swim suit that Pappy got me but sometimes you have to sacrifice form for function!!

Pappy even got me this super sweet cover-up that coordinates perfectly with my swim suit!

Who knew that Pappy had such excellent fashion sense?

Fun in the Sun!!!

2010-07-06T16:09:00.000-04:00

Summer is AWESOME!!! Miss Heather got me my very own Kai-lan sprinkler! It's totally choice! Her head spins around and she shoots water out of her ponytails!

Whoo-hoo! Mommy won't play in the water with me...she says that it's too cold. What a wuss!

I even got a super sweet swimming pool that's just my size. Mommy spent all morning inflating it and filling it with water.

Mam-maw said that her big giant pool is almost ready to swim in! I can't wait. I'm a super good swimmer. I'm going to teach baby Angelo to swim...after I teach him to go into the house a fetch me a cold lemonaid!

Well, This LOOKS Like it Should be Easy!

2010-06-29T01:08:00.001-04:00

Ok, I've seen Mommy do this a hundred times. She's put socks on me, she's put socks on Angelo, she's put socks on herself...there was the one time she put socks on Daddy...

Seriously, how hard can it be?!?!

Grr! Stupid sock. It would probably help if Mommy would STOP laughing at me!!!

HA!!! It was me versus the sock:

Gina: 1
Sock: 0

Ok, got the sock on, now I just have to master the shoes!

Arrggghhh! I'm so close. Once it get this down, I'm one step closer to being able to drive myself to Mam-maw and Pappy's!!!!

I'm Ready for My Close Up

2010-06-25T08:25:00.001-04:00

Mommy dressed me super cute today! I decided to channel my inner diva.

I even have the diva pose down. Check me out!

Oh!! And now that I'm thinking about it...where is my double foam, non fat latte with cinnamon? I asked for it, like, an hour ago!!!

This is unacceptable!! I'm about to go all Russell Crowe up in here! Where's the concierge? I'm going to throw my toy car at his head!

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!!!!!!!

2010-06-20T23:38:00.007-04:00

Today is Father's Day, so I decided to write Daddy a poem. Angelo tried to help but he's just a baby so he really couldn't. Unless you consider drooling and pooping his pants 'helping.'

DADDY = AWESOME

We love our Daddy, yes we do!

We love our Daddy, how 'bout you?

We love our Daddy, he's the best.

He's better than all the rest!!

We love our Daddy, he's really great.

We want to say that we appreciate,

All that Daddy does for us.

That why we want to make a fuss

And thank our Daddy for all to see.

He's the perfect Daddy for Angelo and me!!!!!

A Dog of Very Little Brain

2010-06-17T13:05:00.000-04:00

This is my dog, Nyxi. She's not very smart but I love her anyway!! It's not her fault that her head is stuffed with fluff!!
Besides, you can't expect much from a dog whose brain actually is the size of a pea!! It's a good thing that she's pretty.

My New Big Girl Bed!!!!!

2010-06-14T12:24:00.001-04:00

Mam-maw and Pappy G came down to see me today. They brought me a surprise!! I played with Mam-maw while Pappy put it together. I knew that it was a BIG surprise because Daddy had to help Pappy carry it and put it together. I could hear all kinds of crazy noises coming from my room...the suspense was killing me!

Finally!!! Pappy got me and carried me up to my room to see my present.
Holy guacamole!!!!! It's my very own big girl bed!! Pappy made it just for me! It has lights in the headboard and book shelves for my books!! It has a bench that I can sit on. I can lift the bench up and put my dollies and toys in it. There are drawers at the bottom where I put my socks and shoes...every girl needs her own shoe drawers!! Pappy even made two tiny drawers in the headboard for my jewelry! He even lined them with felt. I put my extra pair of earrings in there. Pappy is AWESOME. He worked really hard to make me something so nice! He must love me a whole big bunch! I sure do love him and Mam-maw!!!

Thank you so much Pappy!!! Even my dolly, Geegee, loves the bed (and she is SUPER picky!).

Ah...this is the life! I feel like a princess! :)

Seriously...this might actually be the most awesome bed that ever was.

Earning My Keep

2010-06-05T21:28:00.003-04:00

Ok, Daddy works really hard at his job to make money so that I can buy stuff and Mommy works really hard to take care of baby Angelo and I so I decided that I would help out by cutting the grass! Pappy G and Mammaw bought me my very own lawn mower. Maybe I'll even cut the neighbor's grass to earn a little extra shoe money!
There's no such thing as deferred maintenance...
Oil...check!
Gas...check!

And I'm off!!! This is going to be great!!!

Whew! It's hot out here!

I need a drink!

It's hard to push this thing up the hill!

Did I mention that it's hot?

Ow!! I think that I'm getting a blister!

Stink!!! I got grass stains on my sandals!

Seriously! It is too freaking hot! It's like I'm cutting grass on the surface of the sun!!

This is total B.S.!!! I'm getting Angelo to do this crap! He's the boy...it's his job. KNOW YOUR ROLE!!! And he better not give me that 'But I'm only four months old' excuse either!! Lame-o!!

Daddy!!!! I need your credit card! I need to get my pedicure fixed!!!!!!!

Chillin' with Angelo

2010-05-26T18:43:00.003-04:00

I'm watching my bed time episode of Kai-lan. My baby bother, umm...I mean brother, had to horn in on the action. I don't know why though. He didn't even watch Kai-lan! All he did was drool and slobber all over my blankie! Brothers are so weird!

Stompy

2010-05-15T12:43:00.003-04:00

OK, for being a little goober, baby Angelo isn't that bad! I mean, he shares his ginormous elephant with me! He even let me name him. I named him Stompy. Stompy, baby Angelo, and I like to hang out. Both Stompy and Angelo are soft and squishy. I think that's why it's so fun to hug them!

Happy Mother's Day!!!!!!!!!!

2010-05-09T00:38:00.000-04:00

Happy Mother's Day, Mommy!!!!! Daddy was super nice to Mommy and she had the day off. Daddy got Mommy lunch and dinner. He even changed all of our diapers so Mommy had a poo free day! Daddy, Baby Angelo, and I love Mommy very much!

Whew!

2010-05-08T11:41:00.002-04:00

Boy!!! I sure have had a rough day. First Mommy made me breakfast, then Mommy took me outside to play. I watched Mommy change Angelo's diaper about 8 times and his outfit 3 times. Mommy made me lunch and we practiced our numbers and colors. Then, Mommy made me take a nap! :( While I was taking a nap, Mommy picked up all of my toys so I had to take them all back out again. I played with Angelo and then Mommy and I ran around the kitchen island. Mommy made me dinner and then I played with my toys. Next, Mommy gave me a bath and brushed my teeth (I know what this means, it's getting close to night-night time). I wasn't tired at all though!! Mommy put on an episode of Ni Hao Kai-Lan. Even though I'm laying on the couch and my eyes are half closed while I'm watching it, I'm not sleepy at all!! Not one...little...bit...

Chillin' with My Peeps

2010-05-04T09:35:00.001-04:00

I had tons of fun hanging out with my new friends, Abbey and Gus! They are super fun.

Everyone loved my Dora the Explorer car!!! We took turns and everything!

I even gave Gus and Abbey some tea and cakes. The cakes were delish!

Before they went home, we all sat on the couch and just chilled for a little bit. I sure hope that Abbey and Gus's mommies bring them back soon. It was a super fun day!

My New Shades

2010-04-27T01:56:00.000-04:00

Grandma got me these sweet new sunglasses. They're totally choice.

Plus for some reason, whenever I wear them, I get totally chill. I think it's because they make everything look pink. It's hard to be stressed or wound up when everything is pink.
Mommy says that she thinks that I look like a hippie when I wear my shades.
I told her to relax and that she was harshing my mellow!!

Singing in the Rain

2010-04-22T13:25:00.000-04:00

Ok, maybe I wasn't EXACTLY singing. More like squealing with glee.

Totally uncool, I know but I really couldn't help it.

But seriously, what could be cooler than playing in the rain and dancing around in puddles? Michael Flatley ain't got nothin' on me!!!!!

Miss Manners

2010-04-17T11:20:00.000-04:00

Eating with a spoon is totally easy. I don't even know what the big deal is!!! I only got a little bit of oatmeal on my shirt. No biggie.

CRAP!!!!
Ok, so this isn't as easy as Mommy and Daddy make it look!

This is freaking frustrating!!! I'm really hungry but my stupid oatmeal keeps falling off of my stupid spoon onto my stupid shirt!

Poop on this!!! I'm hungry! Eating with your hands is SOOO much easier! I just don't understand why everyone doesn't do it!

Helping Mam-maw

2010-04-11T11:06:00.002-04:00

I was staying with Mam-maw while Mommy took Baby Angelo to the doctor. And she put me to work!!! Can you believe it!!!! She made me slave away for HOURS in the hot sun!

Ok, she didn't really. I liked helping! It was super fun!
And the results are totally worth it.

Plus, Mam-maw didn't even mind when it took me 30 minutes to smell EVERY flower! :)

Mam-maw = Awesome

Happy Easter!!!!

2010-04-04T11:28:00.000-04:00

Easter is great!! I got to spend time with tons of family and eat yummy food! And I just wanted to thank everyone who gave me such super coolio loot!!!

Thanks, Great Aunt Paula!
Thanks Mam-maw Cheryl and Papee Gary!!

Thanks Mam-maw Carol and Papee Angelo!!!

Thanks Cousin Dan and Cousin Abe!!!!!!

Ohhhh!!!!! BUBBLES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crayons = Awesome

2010-04-01T15:19:00.003-04:00

Mommy and Daddy bought me this super awesome table. It's just my size!!! Now, I have my own chair AND my very own table.

Mommy gave me these stick thingies called 'crayons.' I can make all kinds of things with them: I can make squiggles and lines and blobs. I'm a super artist!!!
Here, I'm drawing my own version of 'Starry Night'. When I get big, I'm going to be famous...just like Van Gogh. Except there's no way I'm cutting my ear off!! There's a reason that earrings come in pairs!

It's About Time!!!!!!!!!!!

2010-03-28T12:09:00.006-04:00

Finally!!!! I can get on my horse all by myself! My Pappy made him for me ages ago! I named him Gimme-a-beer. We had tons of fun but it was a bummer that I couldn't ride him on my own.
But, now I can!! It's totally awesome! Gimme-a-beer and I ride across the vast plain of the living room together. Gimme-a-beer is very spirited so I have to approach cautiously!

It's a good thing that horses have these handles that conveniently grow out of the side of their heads!! It makes it super easy to climb up!

Once I'm up, I give Gimme-a-beer a quick pat to let him know that our adventure is about to begin!

I think that today I'm going to ride Gimme-a-beer to the mall. I need a new purse and a spring coat. And a couple pairs of shoes. But I always need shoes so that goes without saying...

Me and Baby Angelo

2010-03-23T09:24:00.004-04:00

OK, I don't share my chair with just anyone!!!! But I'm trying to be a good big sister, so I'll share with Baby Angelo.
Besides, I gotta throw the poor kid a bone. I mean, look at the outfit that Mommy dresses him in! It's hard to be taken seriously when it looks like a rainbow threw up on you.

Mommy said that when I was a little kid, my hands were this tiny too! I think that's crazy! I can't believe that I was this small. I'm going to make Mommy show me all of the pictures that she has of when I was a baby. I better not be wearing any stupid rainbow barf outfits...

We Love You, Uncle Nick!

2010-03-10T13:33:00.000-05:00

Thank you, Great Aunt Paula!!!!!!

2010-03-09T13:23:00.003-05:00

This is seriously awesome!!! My Great Aunt Paula sent me a gift card for Christmas. Mommy used it to get me this totally choice chair. It is just the right size for me!!
I can't believe that I have my very own chair! It's perfect for when Daddy and I play video games. Now, I can stomp him at Modern Warfare 2 in comfort!

It's also perfect for when I just want to relax and chill with my blanket and my Abby doll!

Thank you, Great Aunt Paula! You're the best! :)

Taking Care of My Baby Brother

2010-03-02T13:45:00.004-05:00

This is my baby brother, Angelo. He's pretty loud and he doesn't do much but eat and poop but I love him anyway. I like to help Mommy take care of him.
If he starts fussing in his bouncy seat, I'll rock him. He seems to like it and he usually stops crying. Mommy says that I'm a good big sister!

I even like to give baby Angelo lots of smooches. After all, he might be a little booger but he's MY little booger!!!

But I Don't Need a Nap!!!!!

2010-02-26T15:56:00.003-05:00

Really, Mommy!!! I am so NOT tired! I don't need to take a nap!
Honest! I'm totally wide awake!!! Yawning and rubbing my eyes doesn't mean anything!

Whining and fussing don't mean anything either!!!

NO NAP!!!

I mean, it doesn't even make sense! Why would I take a nap when I'm not tired...at...all.

I'm just...not...sleepy...

...ZZZZZZZZZZZZ...

The Gun Show

2010-02-17T15:43:00.002-05:00

I decided to add some weight lifting to my cardio routine. I think that the results speak for themselves...

Check out these guns!!!!!!

I named the right bicep, Thunder, and the left one, Lightning.

Lightning is particularly impressive! I can bench my Big Bird, my Dressy Bessy, and Elmo all at the same time!!!

A Chance of Accumulation

2010-02-10T16:07:00.002-05:00

OK, so a few days ago, Mommy and Daddy start babbling about something called 'snow'. Whatever! Can't they see that I am engrossed in the latest episode of Ni Hao, Ki-Lan?!?!? I'm trying to expand my freaking horizons here! I figure that it will be much easier to become an International Baby of Mystery if I am fluent in Mandarin!

After babbling a little longer about this 'snow,' Mommy unceremoniously stuffed me into this purple suit, complete with gloves, hat, and ginormous boots (which actually look fabulous on me, by the way!). I was WAY too warm and I could barely walk. Seriously, there is no way that this snow could be worth all of this!!

Holy crap!!! This. Is. Awesome!!! I still have no idea what snow is but there is two feet of it covering everything outside!! Daddy had to shovel paths for us to be able to get around anywhere.
Daddy picked me up and threw me right on top of the snow! It was super fun! I rolled around and covered myself up. Oh, by the way...SNOW IS COLD!!! I didn't even care though because I was having such fun!

That is, until the snow froze to the bottoms of my new super sweet boots and I started sliding around all over the place. Someone needs to tell Mommy and Daddy that it is NOT cool to laugh when their kid goes careening into a three foot high snow bank!

This is how much snow there was!!! I was as high as the mail box!!

Daddy had to shovel TONS of snow. I helped him by following behind him and pulling a bunch more snow onto the path that he just cleared! :) I'm super helpful!

Chillin' with My Baby Brother

2010-02-03T19:07:00.003-05:00

So far, this baby brother thing isn't TOO bad. Sometimes Mommy or Daddy have to take care of baby Angelo instead of playing with me but I think that he is worth it. Mommy says that when he is a little bigger, I'll be able to hold him!!! And when he's even bigger, he'll play with me! It will be coolio to have someone to play with all of the time...even if that someone is a boy with cooties!!!

My Baby Brother was Born Today!!!!

2010-01-24T22:59:00.000-05:00

Yeah! My baby brother is finally here!!! He's pretty cool, except for the fact that the little booger has more hair than I do already!!! Not to worry...I'll be taking care of that the next time that Mommy is distracted...
Now, it's like we have a brand new family!! I love my mommy, and my daddy, and now, I love my baby brother, Angelo!!!

It's Snuggle Time!!!

2010-01-16T17:42:00.003-05:00

Sometimes, I just feel like snuggling with Mommy or Daddy on the couch under the blankie. This is one of those times. Excuse me while I use the power of my overwhelming cuteness to get Mommy to put down the camera and come snuggle me!

My Baby Brother

2010-01-06T11:31:00.004-05:00

Mommy had to get a sonogram yesterday because my baby brother is a beast!!! He weighs over nine pounds already. He also has a ton of hair. He thinks that he is the poop because he has more hair than me already. We'll see who's laughing after I put all of my headbands and bows in his hair and post pictures on Facebook! HA!

Oh and Baby Angelo started his blog. It isn't nearly as cool as mine but I thought that I would do my first act as a good big sister and post a link. Now, I figure that I don't have to be nice to him for another couple of months!

This is What Happens When Daddy is in Charge...

2010-01-04T21:25:00.002-05:00

Mommy wasn't feeling well so Daddy 'generously' offered to change my diaper. Little did Mommy and I know that Daddy had ulterior motives!!!

This is how Daddy brought me back to Mommy...with my pants on my head!!

Hhhummpphh!
DADDY!!!! Stop laughing!!!

GREAT!!! Now my pants are stuck on my head! MOMMY!!! Stop taking pictures and help me!! Sheesh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gettin' My Book On!!!!!

2009-12-31T01:08:00.000-05:00

OK! Don't tell Mommy but I can totally read books all by myself! I just like to have her read them because she uses silly voices. It's also fun to see how many times I can get her to read the same book in a row! :)

The book that I'm reading now is all about what it is like to be a big sister and what it's like to have a baby brother. It sounds like a lot of work to me and I'm not sure if I want to share Daddy and Mommy with a brother! I decided to give it a chance though. It might be cool to have someone smaller than me to be the boss of! After my baby brother gets here, I figure if I'm not digging the whole big sister scene, I can always get Mommy to send him back!

Christmas = Cool!!!!!

2009-12-30T07:16:00.002-05:00

OK, so I totally should have posted my Christmas blog post, like 5 days ago but I've been really busy playing with all of my Christmas loot!!!

Mommy, Daddy, and I decorated our Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. Mommy can barely move because of my stupid baby brother so she mostly sat on the couch and showed me where to put the ornaments. I was super helpful. As soon as I put an ornament on the tree, I would take it back off and give it back to Mommy. I'm sure that is exactly what she wanted me to do!
Yeah!!! Christmas morning!!!! Hmmmm...all of these pretty boxes where NOT under my tree last night!

Presents for me!!!! This totally rocks!

More awesome stuff! I'm going to make Daddy leave the Christmas tree up all year. That way, I'll have new presents under it every morning when I wake up!

Christmas was totally choice and fun!! Thank you, everyone for all of the great presents!

Merry Christmas and I love you!!

My First Christmas Present for 2009!!!!!!

2009-12-24T00:01:00.000-05:00

My daddy's friend, Mr. Dan, came over to play video games with Daddy. Mr Dan is the daddy of my BFFs, Kama and Katie, and they sent me over a Christmas present with Mr. Dan. It was super awesome of them and I can't wait until I can give them their presents! Anyway, I wasn't sure what was going on at first. I thought that the present was a pillow so I sat on it but it was really hard and it jabbed me on the bum!

Mommy made a little tear in the wrapping to show me that there was something really cool inside...presents are definitely better than pillows!

WOW!!!!!!!! There's a toy in here! Let me at it!!!!!!

It's a turtle!!! It sings and talks and plays music and teaches me my letters and numbers and shapes and it is the coolest toy that was ever made in the history of the universe!!
I LOVE IT!!
Thank you so much Katie and Kama and Miss Kasia and Mr Dan!!!

Preparing for Uncle Nick's Visit

2009-12-23T03:48:00.000-05:00

My Uncle Nick is going to come visit soon!!!! He's coming to see me for Christmas! I love my Uncle Nick.

Whenever he comes to visit, he and Daddy hang out and act silly. It's super fun!!! One of them usually ends up on the couch, looking like this. I'm practicing now so that I can hang out with them when I get bigger!!!

It's Time to Make the Cookies!!!!!

2009-12-19T21:59:00.003-05:00

OK. Mommy really likes chocolate chip cookies but she doesn't feel well and she is too gimpy to bake them herself, so I decided I'd do her a solid. I'm not exactly sure how this works but I saw Ina Garten do this on the Food Network, so I'm sure that I can figure it out.
I'm not sure about baking but making a mess sure is fun!

Maybe I'll just throw all of the dough in the oven at once and make Mommy one super ginormous cookie. That would HAVE to make her feel better!!!

Stylin'

2009-12-10T10:06:00.002-05:00

I decided to wear my hat today! It goes really well with my pants and shoes. I definitely know how to accessorize!! Speaking of accessories...DADDY!!! A diamond tennis bracelet would look totally choice with this outfit!!!!
Plus, since I'm almost bald, I don't have to worry about hat-hair!!!

Bleh!!!!

2009-12-08T04:20:00.003-05:00

Having a cold is total B.S.!!!!

I feel like poop. My nose is stuffy and I keep coughing! I really don't feel like playing or eating. Seriously! Me, not feeling like eating! This is madness!

Mommy!! Put the camera down and come cuddle me!

My New Shoes

2009-12-01T12:07:00.003-05:00

Mommy, cousin Dan, and I went shopping yesterday. We went to one of my favorite stores! All it has are shoes!!! Hundreds of shoes for me to choose from!!!
Mommy bought these shoes without even asking me! She even tried them on herself instead of me! Mommy hasn't been sleeping well lately and she's been a little loopy so I figured that it was just a mistake. I mean, it isn't like we're going to go to a shoe store and NOT buy me shoes!!! I think these shoes are cute and they are warm and fuzzy but they are so big and heavy that I can't even lift my feet!

Seriously, Mommy!!! Why did you get me such big shoes?!?!?!? I know that you like to buy me things that I can 'grow into' but this is a bit ridiculous! It will be another 15 years before I can wear these things!

Whew! I gotta sit down and rest for a minute. Lugging these things around is hard work!

Fat Guy in a Little Coat...

2009-11-28T04:29:00.000-05:00

What the...!?!?!?!? So, let me get this straight! I was doing a little internet research on Christmas. Sometime during the night, a fat guy in a red suit is supposed to sneak down our chimney???? I don't think so!!!! Hasn't Santa heard of a little something called 'breaking and entering?'
I'm going to stay up all night and guard our fireplace. I have a little surprise planned for our horizontally and fashion challenged friend.
If I see even a hint of a snowy, white beard or jolly, red cheeks....SMASH-O!!!! I'm biffing him right on the skull with a snowball!!!!
Hmmm....unless of course he brings me a super awesome present! This box looks just the right size for those Louboutin snakeskin pumps that I've had my eye on...

Getting My Turkey On!

2009-11-26T06:52:00.006-05:00

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!! It was a cool day. Mostly because Daddy didn't have to go to work. I love it when Daddy stays home just to play with me!!!!

I spent the morning playing with my toys and folding myself in half! ;) Mommy said that on Thanksgiving, you are supposed to stop and think about all of the things that you are thankful for.

I am thankful for all kinds of things. My blocks, my Gee-gee, my books and letters, bacon, apricot/mango juice, bananas, Daddy and Mommy...but mostly I'm thankful for my Nyxi!

We then had Thanksgiving dinner. I got to eat turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce. Everything was YUM-O!!!!! (except for the cauliflower....bleh!)

A Present for Daddy!

2009-11-24T12:49:00.005-05:00

I'm making Daddy a present. And, for once, I'm not talking about the contents of my diaper! ;)
It's not quite right yet but it's getting there!

Just add this one more block....

Perfect!!!!!
Daddy!!!!!!!!
Look what I made for you!!! I know that you've always wanted one!

I'm Ready for My Close Up!

2009-11-23T13:04:00.007-05:00

Mommy and I are going to get my Christmas pictures done tonday. This is my new Christmas dress. I picked it out myself. Mommy wanted to get me one that was all lacey and poofy! Sheesh! It's a good thing that I was with her to put the kibosh on that!
I mean, seriously! I look totally choice. Plus, this dress totally goes with my new Coach purse and Isabella Fiore shoes!

It's just too bad that these tights give me seriously severe wegies!!!!!!

My New Hat

2009-11-18T11:50:00.002-05:00

Seriously. I look pretty sweet. Mommy said that we might go shopping after my nap so I wanted to try out my new hat and gloves.
It's pretty warm with my hat and gloves on in the house but I look so good that I don't want to take them off!

Moving Day!

2009-11-16T07:49:00.005-05:00

I'm moving into my new big girl room today!!! I'm a little scared about it but it's a really super sweet room. Mommy spent a ton of time decorating it. I helped by getting in her way, tearing up paper all over the floor, and stealing the tape whenever she was hanging stuff up! :) I just don't know how she got stuff done before I came along!!!! These are all of the decorations above my new big girl bed. I don't sleep in it yet though. Mommy and Pap pap moved my crib into my new room for now. Daddy and I think that I'm ready for my big girl bed but Mommy worries too much. Daddy and I let it go because we know it's just because she loves me!!!
These are pictures and words that Mommy made for the wall right inside of the door.

This is a picture of me right after I woke up from my nap. It was my first nap in my new room and Mommy said that I did a really good job. I didn't fuss at all! Well, two things that I'm really good at are eating and sleeping!!!!!

These are the tons of butterflies that Mommy put around my windows. They're really pretty and I like to look at them. Mommy spent a lot of time sticking them to the wall. This is when I helped the most by stealing the tape and hiding it when she wasn't looking! ;)

I LOVE MY NEW BIG GIRL ROOM!!!!!

Playing at the Park

2009-11-15T11:03:00.004-05:00

We went to the park on Friday!!! It was totally choice. I ran and ran and ran and played with other small people. I ran across this bridge 3 or 4 hundred times....

Then I played in the dirt. I play in the dirt at home but there is something special about park dirt.

Then, they have these things called 'slides.' They are super fun. You are actually allowed to climb up them and then you can slide to the bottom and do it all over again and again and again.........................and again.

Super awesome!!!!!

Andy Reid: Man or Walrus??? You make the call!

2009-11-09T11:53:00.005-05:00

I don't like it when the Steeler play on Monday night!!!! I have to go to bed before the game even starts!! That's total B.S.!!! Mommy said that she would DVR the game for me and that I could sleep in my Steeler's onesie...so I guess that is OK. I mean, they're playing the Broncos so it's not like I'm worried about them losing or anything.

I did get to watch the very beginning of the Cowboy's / Eagle's game last night. Bleh. It might have been the first time that I really wanted BOTH teams to lose! I also decided that Andy Reid freaks me the heck out!! He just really, REALLY looks like a walrus!!!!

ANDY REID

WALRUS

I'm just saying...........

Playing in the Leaves

2009-11-05T02:42:00.000-05:00

This is pretty wild!!! These things are leaves. They used to be way high up in the trees. They also used to be green!!!
Anything that can change color is totally choice and awesome! Kind of like my Daddy's friend Mr. John D. His hair changes color all of the time.

It's fun playing in the leaves. They make great crunching noises when I roll around in them. I look good too. Autum colors must go with my skin tone!

Chillin' with Nyxi

2009-11-03T13:20:00.003-05:00

I was playing with Nyxi and I decided to see if her bed was as squishy and comfortable as it looks.

It is!
Nyxi came and sat with me. We hung out for a while and I rubbed her ears and scratched her snout.

Everything was cool until she stuck her cold, wet nose in my ear!!! YUCK!!! That is NOT how I roll!!!!!!

Getting My Candy On!!!

2009-11-01T11:33:00.002-05:00

Finally!! The day that I have been waiting for my entire life!! Halloween!!!

That magical day when I get to go to people's houses and they HAVE to give me food!!
I had to wait until 6:00 pm!! It took FOREVER!

Mommy and Daddy decided to go with me. Daddy was really excited so I didn't mind too much...even though I'm a big girl and I totally could have gone by myself!

People kept bringing me giant baskets and plates of candy!!! IT!! WAS!! AWESOME!!!! Mommy was kind of a drag though. She would only let me take one piece of candy at each house.

I ended a totally cool day by eating four M&Ms and three bites of Reese's Peanut Butter Cup! Yum-O. I may have gotten a little wound up after that. I ran around the living room for a while and then finally crashed in the Reese's box.

Silly Outfit Day!!!!

2009-10-28T11:40:00.002-04:00

Mommy and I didn't have anywhere to go today so she decided that we should have Silly Outfit Day!!! I picked out my outfit all by myself! If we were having a Silly Outfit contest, I would totally win. I mean, look at me!!! I look like a cross between a crazed clown and Courtney Love.

Stupid Phone!!!!

2009-10-26T15:40:00.002-04:00

I can't get this stupid phone to work. I keep pressing the button and talking into it but nothing happens.
I know it works because there is a thing that looks just like this one in my room. When I wake up from my nap or if I get scared in my crib, I yell into it and Mommy or Daddy will come get me. I just need to figure out how to get an outside line...

Can you hear me now????

My New Favorite Thing

2009-10-23T11:47:00.005-04:00

I have a little dog named Nyxi. Well, my Daddy and Mommy say that she is a dog but I know better. I may have fallen for that when I was little but she doesn't look like any other dog that I've ever seen. She is kind of like a cross between a dog and a cat. I call her a cog. Anyway, I really like to feed my cog her food. Let me walk you through the process...First, you have to dump all of the pieces of kibble onto the floor. This step isn't really necessary but I do it because I know how much Mommy loves it.
It's really important to take your time and chose the EXACT right piece of kibble. Cogs are very particular so you have get it right.

Once I get the right piece, I wave my hand around and call Nyxi.

When she comes over, I put the kibble on the floor so that she can eat it. Cogs are cute but they are a little stupid so I sometimes have to point out the where the kibble is so that she can find it.
All I got to say is it's a good thing she's pretty!!!

Lunch with the Girls

2009-10-21T11:58:00.002-04:00

I'm having lunch today with Mommy and Miss Heather!!!!
Mommy and I tried on some different outfits to see which one I liked best.

I went with the demin skirt. It just goes better with my new boots.

After lunch, I'm going to get Mommy to take me to the mall. There's a new Kate Spade bag at Macys that I just HAVE to have!! It's a good thing that I borrowed Daddy's credit card before he left for work!!!! ;)

This is Seriously Sweet....

2009-10-16T02:16:00.003-04:00

No, your eyes are not deceiving you!!! I am, in fact, sitting in the Stanley Cup! It. Was. Awesome!!!! People were pointing and clapping. Everyone was taking pictures. Flashes going off everywhere. It was like I was famous!!! I felt like Lindsay Lohan...except smarter and not skanky!!!!!!
This is Daddy, Mommy, and me with the cup.

This is Daddy drinking beer from the cup. Not only is he drinking beer but it is beer that he and I made!!! It was totally cool and everyone loved Daddy's beer. I think it turned out so good because I helped! Mr. Paul is holding the cup for Daddy. He works for the Penguins and it was super nice of him to invite us to his Stanley Cup party. He even let me hold his Stanley Cup ring. It was really heavy and sparkly. Thank you, Mr. Paul!!!!

Morning Run

2009-10-14T11:55:00.004-04:00

Daddy bought me some sweet new running shoes yesterday!! They're totally choice. I wanted to try them out so I tried to talk Mommy into going for a run with me this morning.

I couldn't get her to go. Something about being too pregnant and not feeling well...blah, blah, blah. I didn't want to bring it up but I think a little running would do Mommy some good. Her tummy is getting HUGE!! I'm just saying..........

Anyway, I need to get my cardio in this morning so I'll just go running by myself...if I can figure out how to open this stupid gate!!!!!

Go Steelers!!! :)

2009-10-12T22:56:00.003-04:00

Ha! The Steelers won this Sunday!! And do you know why????? Was it their defense....NOT HARDLY!!!!! Was it the offense...maybe a little. It was mostly my super cute Steelers outfit!!! Two Sundays in a row, two different Steelers outfits, two wins! Coincidence, I think not. Now I just have to talk Pap-pap and Grandma into getting me a new outfit every time the Steelers have a game.

A Tent Full 'O Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-09-10T11:52:00.002-04:00

Grandma Cheryl and Pappy got me this awesome tent thingy!! It has over one hundred balls in it. It's super fun. I especially like to throw the balls out and watch Mommy pick them all up. Bouncing off of the sides of the tent is totally fun too! Except that I have to be careful not to knock the tent over. Sheesh! You knock over a ball pit one time and you never hear the end of it!!!!

My New Wheels

2009-08-30T04:43:00.004-04:00

Ok. So it's not a Mustang but I did get a new car for my birthday! It's totally awesome. I love beeping the horn and pressing all of the buttons to make noise. Noise is the BEST!!
I'm really good at driving my new car. I run into stuff a lot but I've only fallen off once! I'm sure with my mad driving skills that Daddy will let me drive his Del Sol any day now.

My First Birthday!!!!!

2009-08-19T20:29:00.004-04:00

Seriously. Birthday's are totally choice. Mommy took me to the mall and I gots loads of pictures taken. I got awesome presents. I got to hang out with BOTH grandma's and BOTH grandpap's and Aunt Pat and Daddy and Mommy!!!!!

Mommy and Daddy even let me have this little cake thingie that had frosting on it!! I got the best sugar buzz ever!! Birthday's are the best. I'm going to tell Mommy that I want to have another one next week!!!!!

Halloween: The Pre-Game Show

2009-08-14T10:10:00.006-04:00

Ta-Da!!!! I'm going to be a Lady Bug for Halloween. I can't wait. I didn't know what Halloween was so I looked it up on the inter-web. Apparently, it is a magical holiday where I get to dress up and go to people's houses and these people willingly give me food!!! SWEET!! I'm hoping for a nice pot roast or maybe a twice baked potato.

The only bummer is, is that Halloween isn't until October!!! That's, like, forever away!! I don't want to wait that long for my pot roast. I think that I'm going to get mommy to make me one now. The one good thing is that I'll have plenty of time to practice walking in my new shoes. They look totally choice but I keep tripping. I also keep getting my big, puffy lady bug butt caught in things so I guess I'll have to work on that too. It takes time and effort to be this cute!

My Uncle Nick!! :)

2009-07-31T21:24:00.003-04:00

This was the first time that I met my Uncle Nick. It was at Thanksgiving and I was only three months old!!!!

This was me and my Uncle Nick today!!! I'm almost a year old. I'm practically grown up! I think that my Uncle Nick is pretty awesome and I love him a whole lot!!!!

Conquering Mount Everest

2009-07-30T10:17:00.009-04:00

This stupid step from my living room into my kitchen has been my personal nemesis since I started crawling. At first, it kept me trapped in the living room because I couldn't climb up it. Once I finally learned how to get into the kitchen, I was trapped because I couldn't get back down the step into the living room. Well...NO MORE!!! I have defeated my nemesis!! I can climb up and down the step at will....HA!!!!

Step One: Casually crawl toward the step, lulling it into a false sense of security.

Step Two: Without making eye contact with the step, slowly extend your climbing leg.

Step Three: Take the step by surprise! Quickly spin on your bum and swing your climbing leg over the step.

Step Four: Stupid step!!! It still thinks I'm in the kitchen!

Step Five: Dismount gracefully while simultaneously taunting the step! :)

I'm 11 Months Old!!!! :)

2009-07-19T11:23:00.003-04:00

In one more month, I'll be one whole year!!!! That's when Daddy is going to get me my Mustang!!!! Sweet!!!

I had a great time yesterday! I got to see both Grandpaps and both Grandmas!!! I got to hang out with Dan and Abe and I saw Margie and Great Uncle Bob and Mr. Joe and Trenton. It was AWESOME!!!

I even got to swing on a cool new swing...that was hanging from a tree!!!

I was a little nervous at first but I got used to it quick!!! SWING ME HIGHER, PAPPY!!!!!

Corn-holing and the Space Station!!! :)

2009-06-28T10:56:00.010-04:00

Mommy, Daddy, and I went to a party last night!! It was really fun! Daddy has a really good friend named Johnny D. The party was at Mr. John's parents' house and Daddy was all excited because the space station that he and Mr. John played in was still there!!!

This is Daddy and Mr. John's two younger brothers!

Daddy even let me play in the Space Station!!!! It was AWESOME!!!!

After the Space Station, Daddy played Corn-hole!! My daddy is really good at corn-holing! He's the best corn-holer ever!!!!

This is Mr. John! :) I've met him a couple of times. He's super cool because every time that I see him, his hair is a different color! As soon as I learn to talk, I'm going to ask him how he does it. I would look totally choice with pink hair! Mr. John will also be happy when I learn to talk because I'll pronounce his last name right!!! I keep telling Daddy that there are no hard A's in Italian.....

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!!!

2009-06-21T03:59:00.001-04:00

This is the first picture ever of me and my Daddy. I wasn't even a whole day old. Even though he made me wear that lame-o hat, I loved my Daddy as soon as I saw him.

This is me and Daddy. We're with Grandma and Great Grandma!!

This is Daddy and I at Thanksgiving dinner. Daddy is pretty awesome because he doesn't even mind when I slobber all over his shirt.Daddy and I are just chillaxing in the kitchen.

I'm helping my Daddy brew beer!!!!

This is at David and Sarah's wedding. I was super sleepy so Daddy held me and I fell asleep. I love Daddy's hugs--they are the best. As a matter of fact, my Daddy is the best.

I LOVE YOU, DADDY!!!!!

I'm Ten Months Old

2009-06-19T10:18:00.005-04:00

Happy Birthday to me!!!! I'm 10 months old and I am so very mature! I'm kind of dissapointed because I asked Daddy for a 2010 Mustang GT500 in Sterling Grey and all I got was a steaming pile of NOTHING!! Maybe he's waiting to surprise me for my first birthday. I guess that I can wait 2 months.

Well, since I wasn't able to cruise around in a new Mustang, I celebrated turning 10 months old by pulling myself up to the coffee table and throwing all of the remotes onto the floor.

I followed that up by digging all 120 blocks out of the container and flinging them all over the living room.

I actually do this for Mommy because I know how much she LOVES to clean up after me! :)

FUN!!!!!

2009-06-16T10:18:00.006-04:00

We went over to Grandpap Angelo's and Grandma Carol's yesterday! It was fun. When we got there, Mommy and Grandma kept asking me if I wanted to go swimming. I had no idea what they were talking about so I just smiled at them and clapped (that always seems to make them happy!). Well, Mommy put this weird diaper on me and sprayed me down with this stuff that smelled like coconuts. Daddy took me outside and... HOLY CRAP!!!!! Grandpap and Grandma have the BIGGEST BATHTUB that I've ever seen!
I was pretty stoked because I love bath time!! Mommy took me in the water and.. IT. WAS. COLD!!! I wasn't sure if I liked it at first but I got used to it. I am going to tell Grandpap that when he fills the giant bathtub next time, he needs to use more hot water!!!

Grandma and Grandpap got me this super cool floatie thing that I can lounge in. I just needed a drink with a little umbrella in it!

It got pretty warm so Grandma put me in a turtle that they got me. It's a convertible!!! I decided to put the top up to keep the sun off of me. Like all delicate flowers, I must be protected from the sun! Playing in the ginormous bathtub was really fun. I'm going to ask Daddy if he will buy me one for our house.

What the...!?!?!?!?

2009-06-12T13:51:00.003-04:00

Seriously. I finally start getting some hair and Mommy uses it to humiliate me!! I look like a freaking Yorkshire Terrior!!! You should have heard her laughing as she was taking these pictures! Hmmphh!! We'll see who's laughing when she has to change my diaper in about five minutes!! Revenge will be mine!

David and Sarah's Wedding

2009-06-08T10:25:00.009-04:00

I had an AWESOME time at David and Sarah's wedding. It was so much fun!!! This is David and Sarah coming out of the church right after they got hitched! Sarah's dress was super pretty! She looked like a princess. I really like this picture!!!

The food at the reception was really yummy!

We did the train and Abe carried me on his shoulders. I love being taller than everybody!

Dan danced with me a lot! :)

Whew!! Having so much fun is hard work! My Daddy is the best! He held me so I could take a little snooze.

Hanging Out With My Peeps

2009-06-04T09:42:00.002-04:00

This is my Great Uncle Dave and Great Aunt Lori!! They came down just to visit me! I made sure that I was extra-special cute so it made the trip down worth it! It was super cool to hang out with them because I don't get to see them a lot. When Daddy buys me my car next year, I'll drive up to see them more. They're pretty fun to hang with! :)

Helping Daddy Brew

2009-05-31T03:24:00.000-04:00

I am ever so helpful!! I'm helping Daddy brew his beer! I kept telling Daddy that he didn't put enough hops in the beer but he wouldn't listen. So I put another 2 ounces in when he wasn't looking. I also told him that the mash temperature was too high but he didn't listen to me about that either! Hmmph! Like I don't know what I'm doing! Pretty soon, I'll be brewing my own batches and I'll be able to show Daddy how it's done!

Check This Out!!

2009-05-28T12:11:00.000-04:00

For those of you who didn't beleive it, here it is! The first tooth. Numero uno.

One down, 19 to go.

Dang it!! There is it again! This stupid tooth is stealing my spotlight!!!

My Rocking Horse

2009-05-26T12:45:00.000-04:00

This is my super cool rocking horse that my Pappy made me. Mommy has to help me because I'm too small to play on it myself. I named him 'Gimme-a-beer'. I'm not sure what that means but Daddy says it all of the time so I figure that it must be cool!

I asked Pappy to make me a saddle. Some stirrups would come in handy right now. It will be really awesome when I get big enought to actually rock on my horse. Gimme-a-beer and I are already planning on raising a ruckus!

Yum!!!!

2009-05-25T03:34:00.000-04:00

Beets are delicious!!

Enough said! :)

My First Tooth

2009-05-21T17:04:00.004-04:00

OK, I'm a little freaked out here!!! Something totally crazy is going on. Something is growing out of my lower gum!!! What the....!?!?!?!?!? I'm slobbering all over myself and I REALLY want to bite things but when I do, IT'S OUCHIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is total crap!!!

Mommy says the thing is called a 'tooth' and that I'll be getting more!! I didn't believe her so I looked it up on the internet. Apparently, I'll get about 20 baby teeth. Then all of those will fall out (sheesh!) and I'll get 32 big-people teeth. Fan-freaking-tastic!!

I Crawled Today!!

2009-05-20T20:43:00.007-04:00

I decided to crawl to today. There was a toy that I wanted and I didn't feel like rolling so I booked it clear across the floor. Mommy freaked out. It was pretty funny. She even got it on video so Daddy can see it later.

Mommy picked me up and said that I was a big girl. We laughed and clapped.

If I would have know that crawling was such a big deal, I would have done it months ago!!!

9 Months Old!!!

2009-05-19T11:00:00.003-04:00

I'm nine months old today!!! Yeah! Mommy took me to the doctor this morning. I weigh 21 pounds, 2 ounces and I'm 27 and a half inches long!! I grew over two inches since my last appointment. The doctor said that I'm perfect and all of the nurses thought that I was super cute (ppffftttt!! Well, no kidding!! :) I totally impressed the doctor with my patty cake and waving skills. I even threw in a raspberry for that 'wow' factor!!

Olympics, Here I Come!!!

2009-05-18T11:26:00.006-04:00

OK, so I decided that, when I grow up, I want to be an Olympic Gymnast. I can roll like a champ and bend myself in half so I figure that I'm halfway there. Mommy put me down for my nap and I wasn't sleepy so I decided to work on my floor exercise. I must have been more tired than I thought. I guess that I fell asleep right in the middle of tumbling.

Man!!! I hope this doesn't happen during the Olympic try-outs!!! That could be a wee bit embarrassing!!!

Baby in the Mirror

2009-05-16T03:11:00.008-04:00

This is my new bestest friend!! Her name is Mirror Baby, or MB for short. Not only do we dress alike and like to play exactly the same games at the same time but MB is super, duper cute!!!

I taught MB how to play Pattycake. She must be crazy smart because she learned it super quick. Although I'm sure seeing my mad Pattycake skills made it pretty easy!! :)

Seriously. Look at our skills!! There should be a synchronized Pattycake contest. We would totally kick butt!

I love playing with MB. She's totally cool and I have tons of fun.

My only complaint is that her smooches are a little slobbery and inappropriately long. Oh well, no one's perfect!!! :D

Good Morning

2009-05-13T03:35:00.001-04:00

Good morning, everybody!!!

This is me, sleeping in my crib. I used to be too afraid to sleep in it but now I sleep in my crib every night like a big girl! :) Mommy reads me a story every night and I hug my Gee-gee so I'm not afraid any more. I love sleeping in my crib...
even when Mommy wakes me up in the morning with the stupid camera flash!!!

Sheesh!

Happy Mother's Day!!!!

2009-05-10T03:58:00.001-04:00

This is my mommy. She's pretty OK. Even though she makes me sleep in my crib, makes me eat healthy food, and won't let me play with daddy's computer or HD receiver, she's my mom and I think I'll keep her.

I love my mommy!!!

This is Total B.S.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-05-07T03:44:00.000-04:00

I CANNOT beleive this!! Mommy is making me do housework. She said that it's time that I earn my keep and she said that I had to dust the living room!! HUMMPHHH!! This is a violation of child labor laws!!! This is total crap! This is totally unfair!!

This is...this is...what the heck is this thing, anyway?

:)

2009-05-01T03:22:00.001-04:00

Life is good. I have toys. I have parents who love me. I have grandparents who love me. I have a pink box to play in.

I'm totally photogenic.

Life rocks!!!

Check Out My New Wheels!

2009-04-28T03:15:00.001-04:00

Daddy finally bought me a car. Sheesh! I had to bug him about it FOREVER!! I mean, seriously, am I really supposed to be the only eight month old without her own wheels! The best thing about my new car is the seat warmers. Nothing says 'AWESOME' like a warm tushie! Well, I'm off! I'm going to go see Grandma and Grandpap. See ya!!

OK, I got my keys...

Dang It!!! Where are my driving gloves?!?!?

Grrr!!!!

2009-04-24T03:29:00.002-04:00

So, apparently, being a mom means that you can dress you kid up in truly ridiculous outfits! I look like a giant pick slug! I cannot wait until I grow up and have a baby! Then, it will be my right to dress up my daughter in goofy outfits and take pictures!

Hhmmph!

AAAAHHHH!! Holy crap! Where are my hands!!!

This Thing is the Best!!!

OK, I don't have the first clue what this thing is but... It. Is. Awesome! I was just rolling around on the floor when I found it. SWEET!! It makes the coolest noise whenever I hit it. The weirdest thing is that I found one in almost every room of the house. It's just really annoying because they hide behind the door. I have to kind of sneak up on them. It's a good thing that I'm a stealthy roller...kind of like a round jungle cat!

Ha! I finally figured out how to point myself in the right direction so that I can roll over to Daddy's old video games. I'm not supposed to play with them but...pfftttt!! Mommy and Daddy aren't the boss of me!

I'll just roll on over here and take a little nibble out of the corner of each game. Then, I'll put them back and no one will ever know (and by 'no one', I mean Daddy!).

Crap!! Busted!!!

Happy Easter!

This is my Gee-gee. She's my BFF! We swing together and play together and sleep together and eat together...well, not eat together. I'll share everything but my food! Anyway, Mommy and I named her Gee-gee because...well...because it was the only thing that I could say!
