S-P-A-G-H-E-T-T-I

Spaghetti is definitely on of my favorite foods. Actually, I like spaghetti sauce on ALL kinds of pasta. My mommy usually uses penne or rotelle, but Aunt Terry made me some REAL spaghetti. It was very yummy. My mommy says spaghetti noodles are a little messier. Whaddya think?

My First Sentence...

"I GET DOWN!" - said at the home improvement store when I wanted to go exploring.

Christmas Dinner

We had a yummy Christmas Dinner with my mama's papa's family, a.k.a. Cousin Sharon's house. I had lots of fun crawling up and down the stairs. That's me sound asleep in my mommy's arms.

Christmas Walk to the Park

We took my new wheels out for a trip to the park.

Merry Christmas!!!

This is the photo that was suppose to go out with the Christmas cards and letter that mommy never sent.

I thoroughly enjoyed this Christmas. Some of the presents under the tree were the perfect size for sitting. Others were fun to climb on. On Christmas morning, I got to open lots of presents. I got a cool blanket, several new outfits & pajamas, books, tub toys, a shape sorter, squeezable train engines, and an RC car (that doesn't go in reverse so we have to take it back).

Mommy got me a mini-kitchen that was my favorite gift until they wheeled out my new wagon from Aunt Terry & Uncle Bill.

It's so cool. It's got a door, two seats, two cupholders, and a storage compartment in one of the seats. I was so excited, I didn't even wait till my parents put the wheels on it. It made a great see-saw. I kept shifting from side to side making it wobble. Even the box it came in was fun to play in. After the 'rents installed the wheels, we took it out for a stroll to the park once. I liked it so much, I wouldn't let them leave it outside when we got home. It resides in a place of honor in front of the TV. I like climbing in and out the door and sitting in the storage compartment. We took so long at the park that we were late to Christmas dinner at Cousin Sharon's. Actually, Mommy thought dinner was at 7PM, but really it was at 5PM. Luckily, we didn't miss the feast cuz the prime rib took longer to cook than expected. I got even more presents - some new books, a talking puppy, chocolate, and another blanket. The gifts didn't end. The next day, we went to the post office to pick up my gift from Papa Lum - a 50 piece Mr. Potatohead set complete with Mr, Mrs, and Baby Potato. Daddy was a little dismayed at all the little pieces he envisioned stepping on...Hmm, I wonder what happend to my Mr. Potatohead. We met up with the Petits for lunch. They got me a cool magnetic lap desk that I can draw on.

Word Explosion

I've been repeating several new words in the last couple days, like "cracker", "red", "yellow", "tickle", and "cheerio". My parents are quite proud of me.

bo-NA-na

So, I learned a new word this past weekend. When I say it, I get lots of attention, praise, and my favorite fruit. Mommy still slices it up; otherwise, I'll shove the whole thing in my mouth. I like it THAT much.

A Christmas Tree FINALLY!

We went to Lowe's to pick up an 9' Artificial Christmas Tree. I had fun riding in the racecar shopping cart. I helped Mommy set up the tree when we got home by climbing all over the box and trying to pull off the pine cones. Mommy only managed to get three sections up on Sunday. We put the top on after daycare today. It was like a mini-tree. I kept trying to look under it. I surprised Mommy by climbing up the ladder behind her. I only got up 2 steps cuz she was hogging the rest of the ladder. After she put the top on the tree, she let me climb all the way up to the top. I did it twice, climbing back down all by myself. The 2nd time I got to the top, I sat on the top step and leaped into Mommy's arm. To my protest, she folded up the ladder, ending my climbing fun.
