Hommie sent me this awesome Valentine's Day outfit...it comes with pretty barrettes and these cool sunglasses. I wore them for hours after I got them in the mail. Didn't want to take them off!
I called Hommie today and sang her the ABC song...I'm getting really good at singing - just ask her!
Lookie, baby bro doesn't need to be swaddled anymore. He sleeps so well! Awwww...he's so cute.
Oopsie! Sorry to wake you, baby boy.
So, yeah...baby Grant is getting bigger. And cuter. And less lumpy - more mobile. Here he is, playing on a blanket in our family room. Mommy and daddy cut his hair so that it wouldn't look so silly. He looks far more handsome now, if I do say so myself. Oh, and if he looks a little fuzzy that's because I got goo all over mommy and daddy's camera lens, and they can't get it off.
Two new developments: Baby bro has found his toes, and two teeth!
I'm always on the move, so snap a picture fast, Mommy!
I think, maybe, we'll read this book now.
Just gotta get it open...
No thanks, Mommy, I don't need help, I can read it on my own. Do you like my piggies?
Mommy says that it always makes her day when I give her snuggles. So I always save them for the most special days.
I'm a big girl now, I don't have to use the baby swing anymore. Do you like the new swing daddy got for me? I LOVE IT!!!
This Saturday morning, daddy came in to my bedroom to find me in the middle of the floor. I had climbed out of my crib!! So, out of necessity, mommy and daddy decided to turn my crib into a "Big Girl Bed" (toddler bed). They took off the front, and replaced it with a little guard so that I don't fall out in the middle of the night. Now I can get in and out of my bed all on my own (and smuggle in whatever toys I like during the night)! I LOVE my big girl bed.
Happy New Year, Y'all! Do you like my cool shades? They light up...
Even Baby Bro got in on the New Year's Celebration. We had noisemakers, confetti, necklaces, and even cool hats. Sadly, we didn't get to stay up until 12:00 to ring in the new year. We just had a little party at 7:00, before we went to bed.
Here I am with my baby brother, Grandpa and Debbie. They came down to see us while we were still on the east coast. I'm so glad they did, I had so much fun with them!
And baby Grant just loved Debbie.
He also loves his grandma. Peek-a-boo, little baby brother!
The next day, Grandpa took us to ride the Carousel in front of the Smithsonian Institution downtown on the Mall. Even Grant had fun, all cozy in mommy's front carrier!
Hommie's doing a great job trying to keep Grant happy...that's not easy sometimes.
Helping Dabi vacuum before the guests arrive for dinner.
Brooke and I watched "Coorius Dorge" while the adults all made gingerbread houses. Dabi didn't notice that we stole his chair this time, because he was too busy smashing his house to smithereens.
My hair is finally long enough for pigtails! Mommy says they make me look older - ok, then may I borrow the car keys and a credit card?
Don't ever steal Dabi's chair or you'll get in trouble!! Well, we do outnumber him...maybe he'll let it slide just this once.
Playing Bond with Uncle Mark and Daddy. Uhoh - here comes a sentinel! I think I'm winning.
Brooke wants to have triplets. She's getting prepared.
The annual reading of "T'was the Night Before Christmas"
It was pretty tough getting everyone to sit for the whole story, let a lone a photo. This was our best shot.
I would smile, but the Alaskan King Crab is too yummy, so I think I'll just keep stuffing my face.
Baby brother and cousin Anderson played together after the presents were all opened.
Too cute.
Cousin Brooke and I thought we should get in on the action - to make the picture just that much cuter.
And here I am, ready to open presents in my elf outfit.
Grant looks like an elf too...he matches daddy!
Everyone is ready to start opening presents!!! Actually, they look a little bored...
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus...
The chaos that is "Christmas at Hommie & Dabi's" Waitaminute...where is Uncle Mark's stocking, and who the heck is "KMART SHOPPER"????
BALLOOON!
Daddy and Uncle Mark spending time with their boys.
Tonight was Aunt Kristen's Birthday party!! We had spaghetti and chocolate ice cream cake. Happy Birthday, Aunt Kristen!
I had lots of spaghetti sauce all over...
But then I covered up the spaghetti sauce with chocolate!
Yummieeee!
