It's hard to walk in the snow. This is the first time I ever got to do it and MomMom put me in boots that were too little for Meredith but too big for me. I guess she decided I didn't need snow boots this winter. Silly her. I mostly like to eat the snow but I didn't get to stay outside very long. It was cold and my cheeks got all rosy. But it was still fun.

Oh, Grandma - tell Grandpa I can say his name now. I saw him in a picture and said "Ba-pa". I probably won't say it for him so you will have to just tell him I can do it.

Christmas Memories

This is my Grandpa. I really like him even though I don't say "Grandpa" yet. He keeps thinking I will any day now though.
Just so you know - I was set up. I was NOT TIRED!
My Aunt Peggi gave me this toy. It's really cool - I really like it - It's loud!
This is my "Santa Dance". MomMom has had this Santa since Hayden was little. She says we all like to dance to it. I didn't too much though - maybe next year.

New Clothes

Sometimes I wonder about MomMom. She had been dressing me in the same 5 outfits for forever. She finally bought me some new shirts. Then - she says "oh, yeah, there's a box of 2T winter clothes in the closet." So, now I have lots of clothes again. Of, course, they're all a little big but I still look good in them.

Guess who's talking now?

Yes, it's me! I gave MomMom my milk today and she said thank you so I said "Welcome." Then we were looking at pictures and I knew this one was "Steffi" so I said so.

I like this keyboard. I can play all kinds of music on it. MomMom's friend Michelle gave it to us to play with. I'm going to be real good by the time I get big.

Clothes

See that outfit I wore from my blog on 11/10? It doesn't fit anymore. I'm too tall now. And I really liked it too. I got it from my Auntie Netter. I liked the butterflies and the bright colors. Oh, well, now I guess I will give it to Baby Rue. She's still little, she's not even a day old yet!

LET ME DO WHAT I WANT!

MomMom is irritating me AGAIN. It took me a long time to get that little plastic chair up on the coffee table and I just wanted to sit there on it and look out the window but she took it away from me. I want to sit on a chair on the table! She also won't let me use her cell phone. I know how to talk on the phone. Ask my Daddy, he knows. She says I should drink my own milk instead of swiping Meredith's. She won't let me use the mouse even though I know how to make the computer light up with it. I'm not a baby anymore - I'm over 1 and 1/4th!
