Merry Christmas, Take Two

Christmas trees are pretty. I like to touch and feel the prickly needles.What do you mean, Santa watches me when I'm sleeping? You've gotta be kidding me mamma! I just saw the man the other day! He's coming to our house??? Tonight??? And you expect me to be able to sleep knowing a man dressed in red and white fur is gonna be sneaking around our house.... It's Christmas morning and I just woke up.
Look what the big guy left me! Okay, I think Santa may be pretty cool after all!

Then Mimi gave me what's called a stocking that Santa filled up for me with more fun things! Wow!

Santa left an ornament on the tree for me, too. This is it right here.

My First Christmas - Meeting Santa

Mimi took me and Tasia to the mall to see Santa.

Neither of us have seen this mysterious man before but he comes with many superb references. We are ready to meet "the man."

Tasia talked to Santa and told him what she wanted for Christmas. I believe she told him, "All kinds of stuff." Being a woman, she is both vague and specific all at once. I don't know how they do it.

Then, it was my turn. He seemed to be an alright person as long as I could see my Mimi.It didn't take me long to be ready to get down, though.

My verdict on the whole Santa experience? I'm glad it is over.

Merry Christmas, Take One

Since my Mom-Mom's moving to the Caribbean today, we had Christmas with her and all the family last Sunday. I had such a good time! This is my Great-Great Granny. I'm smiling because she REALLY is great!Me and Daytona are getting a ride from Mimi. She must be really strong to hold the two of us solid boys.Then, they brought out all this stuff with this pretty bright paper that Mommy and Mimi let me tear up! And then, I had all these cool boxes of different shapes and sizes to play with. OH...I think I got some toys or something, too.Mom Mom got us each a hamper that looks like an animal. My toys were all in it, so soon I was, too.Mimi pretty much held me the whole day. She even let me open all her presents so it took a long time to get done. I had fun with all the paper, though. Here is my new ball. I totally dig it.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Don't wait to make your son a great man - make him a great boy

Mimi already thinks I'm the greatest boy ever!

Happy Thanksgiving!

All my cousins are at the table waiting for food...except Daytona (momma fed him) and me (Mimi fed me).
Yeah, that's MY toy...
Mimi held me a lot. We always have fun.
And of course, I had to play with my toy collection!

The Patch

Hanging out at Mimi's

I am getting big. When Mimi came home everyone was eating except me and I was not happy about that! To get me to stop yelling at my mommy, Mimi gave me a biter cookie.

As you can tell by my face, I really like it and you'd be smart not to try to take it from me.

Oh yeah! That is goood stuff.
But now I have to tell Mimi bye-bye.I can't wait until I come back to play.

I am into EVERYTHING!

Mimi says I'm so cute in my hoodie...

Hey, Chloe...what's up?
Cheese!
It didn't bother me at all when Tasia became angry that I have her purse. I was just checkin' it out! Sheesh...

Mimi had some really cool things on her table. I don't know why she kept saying she needs to "baby-proof" her house.
If you look closely, you can see my two bottom teeth! Mimi took many, many pictures to get one where I would show them off.
I have to see what Tasia is doing. It's a good thing I have on a diaper or you'd be seeing my crack. Mimi says you can tell I have plumber's "genes" in me...You can see it didn't take me long to make Mimi's house all messy. But I just had to see and taste every toy I could!

Happy Halloween

I am now 18 1/2 pounds and 28 1/2 inches long! Grrr...don't I look like a mean 'ole lion?

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Mimi makes sure I have lots of toys to play with at her house.
But when I keep getting into things, she corrals me into this fun bouncer.
Isn't Mommy beautiful? She is 17 now.
Geez...how many people does it take to get my jacket on???

Mommy Rocks!

Playing

Listen to Auntie Chloe singing while she plays the video game in the background. Then, she totally acts all silly. Earlier it was totally cracking me up but I'm a little tired now.

Bye Bye!!

Now that I know how to wave, I do it all the time. On this night, as soon as Mimi, Mommy and Chloe walked into a restaurant with me I started waving "Hi" to everyone. For some reason, they all want to stop and talk to me after that!

Crawling

I can crawl now, although I still go slow and steady because it is so new. When I spy something I really want, I drop down and army crawl because I can really go quickly that way!

Yummy!

I love to eat and these teething biscuits are especially fun and messy. My cousin Justn was over this day and when he sees a camera he says, "I want to cheese!"

Mimi's 'lil man...

I can pull up but it's still hard to stand there and hold onto something. Right after this picture I fell and hit my head on the table.
Mimi bought me some flannel jammie pants just like hers!

Me and my cousin Justn had a fun time at Mimi's house.

I love my family! (with Justn & Auntie Chloe)

Ready to go to see my Mommy in this oh-so-cool jean jacket that Mimi's friend Jennifer gave to me while I was still a peanut in Mommy's tummy.
