Loving Daddy...

Right now my favorite time of the week is Saturday afternoon. This is when Daddy usually comes in to snuggle me after I wake up from my naps. We giggle and tickle and play and I get to "ride" on Daddy. He says he likes it too because my big girl bed is so comfy. I also really like the sound of the garage door in the evening and then hearing the door open when he gets home from work. I love my Daddy...

Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm just learning how to say "I love you"...but I sure know what it means. It means this special little Abby Cadabby card that Daddy got for me. I liked the card that Mommy got me too, but it just had flowers. (I can say the word "flowers"...but in my own special way that Mommy says "melts" her.) Anyway, I tried to take my special card in the bathtub with me but Mommy and Daddy wouldn't let me, and while they weren't thrilled with the idea, I did get to take it to bed with me. When Mommy and Daddy checked on me before they went to bed, the card was under my head, and I woke up in the morning with glitter on my cheeks. And the first thing I did...ask for the card again to hold and carry with me everywhere. :)

Home Sweet Home

After a long three weeks of moving from our townhouse, to a new complex with three bedrooms, to another three bedroom unit in the same complex...we're finally home...in a house. :) No more noise...no more shared walls...no more shared floor/ceiling...no more slamming doors. Daddy found this special little house out in Livermore for us and I'm super excited to finally be settling down again. I have a big girl bed now, and plenty of space to play in the living room, kitchen, Mommy and Daddy's room, and even Annie's room. There is even a little boy across the street now that I like to play with. It just doesn't get any better than this...

Two more Christmas'...

Because Mommy and Daddy's parents all live so close...I got three Christmas' all in one day. :) At Nana and Papa's, I got a special new kitchen to play with in my room. At Gram and Papa's house, I got two purses and some special books. I was really tired at the end of the day, but Mommy says I was an angel. But before we left, we took a special family picture together...don't we look good??

Christmas at our home...

The most wonderful thing happened this morning when I got up! I was finally allowed to touch all the pretty packages under the Christmas tree! The most amazing thing I found was my new baby doll! She came with a cradle, a stroller and a carrier/carseat. She doesn't have a name, but I call her "baby" and we're having fun together. Then I helped Daddy open some more presents, and got all dressed up for the day. Something I don't really understand yet is that bump on Mommy's belly, but it looks pretty neat, doesn't it? :)

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we went to church and then to Candy's house for some food and fun. :) I got a neat phone from Candy, and Mommy and Daddy got a special ornament for the tree. You wouldn't believe all the wonderful food and presents they have. Certainly a Merry Christmas for them...

Shannon's Christmas Brunch!!

All I can say is "Yummy"! I think this might be Daddy's favorite meal of the year. We all went to Shannon and Bruce's house for brunch and a gift exchange today. I sat in Gabbi's high chair and got to eat all kinds of yummy things. Then Gabbi and I played with toys and even went outside because it was such a nice day. I think it was a great morning...

Happy Birthday Daddy!

These pictures are from Daddy's birthday. I know it doesn't look like it...because it was also the day that we went with Gram and Papa to get their Christmas tree. I had fun running around among the trees and playing with rocks in the mud. I think my Daddy looks great in red...

Mommy and Daddy

Here's a good picture of what my Mommy and Daddy look like these days. :) After getting our Christmas tree all decorated, they went out for Mommy's 10 year H.S. reunion. Don't they look great? Almost as good as our tree...

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Not a really exciting day for me, and I don't like the food much, but I had fun playing with Aunt Janell, and getting all dressed up. :)

Our Christmas Tree!!

Today we got our Christmas Tree! Yes, a little early...but things are so busy we didn't have much choice. Mommy and Daddy have things to do all weekend, so we got the tree before Thanksgiving. Now we'll be able to decorate it when we have the time. It was rainy and cold, so I played in a fun little car while Mommy and Daddy found the tree. They got soaked, but I was the one who got upset about it all...oh well.

Someday they'll learn...

If you can't hear me...you better find me. :) This morning Mommy got me out of my crib to let me play. She and Daddy stayed in bed to rest some more...big mistake. I found the refill bag of baby wipes and decided to take them all out. They're even better than a roll of toilet paper because they come apart so easy and I can lay them all over the floor like a rug. :)

Happy Halloween!!

A pink poodle!!! This is the only picture where I'm not crying about being dressed up like an oversized, frilly rat. Mommy and Daddy were pretty sure that I wouldn't be excited about getting dressed up this year, and I sure wasn't. I don't understand what all the fuss is about and I'd much rather just be me...in my favorite jeans in Mama's chair. :)

Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival!

Another great annual trip out to HMB to walk the street and then look at all the great big pumpkins. I sat in my stroller almost the whole day until we got to the pumkin patch and maze later on. That was my favorite part. I got to run in a little corn field and try to pick up all the pumpkins I could find. I loved it when Mommy and Daddy chased me. I even got to play in the dirt a little...and that doesn't happen very often. ;-)

My First Hair Cut!!

Auntie Kirsten gave me my first haircut today! I was starting to have a bit of a mullet...but I don't know what that is. Mommy said something about letting the top catch up with the bottom. She looked a little sad though and said something about my "precious little curls". I didn't mind the process too much...I got to eat graham crackers the entire time.
