Hello Everybody

I just wanted to share some new things from the week. Boy am I getting tall. I can reach almost everything on every table. Yay!

-My new word of the week is 'no.' I can also say 'yes' and sometimes say it, but 'no' is much more fun.
-I tried Chinese food for the first time. I LOVED Lo Mein noodles. I picked out all of the vegetables except for the water chestnuts and ate just the noodles.
-I love reading my Dr. Suess books now. Thanks, Lynda, for buying them for me. "There's a Wocket in My Pocket" and "The Cat in the Hat" are my favorites.

-I've started stacking my blocks really high. Mommy has a video of me doing it, but she has to figure out how to make the video smaller for you guys to download.
-I now can call Yin and Nomi and have fun doing it. It sounds like I'm saying 'Yanny' intead of 'Yinny' but everybody knows what I mean.

I think that's it for today. Mom is going to try to put up my Christmas pictures today.

Happy Valentines Day

I had a busy day today. First, i went to my first birthday party at McDonalds. It was Tryston's, my neighbor's grandson, birthday. I had fun playing in the Playplace but it took time for me to warm up. Next, I went to Uncle Dan's birthday party. I had cake, ice cream, and some other stuff not as fun. I ended up taking a fork and started eating the side of the cake.

Let's see. I'm learning all kinds of things lately. I'm getting pretty good at my daily routine too. In the morning, I wake up and have my milk and then I go jump on Daddy in bed. When Daddy isn't in bad, I look under all the blankets and pillows looking for him. When I'm done getting dressed, I want to go downstairs to get my coat and shoes even if nobody is ready. Twice i got my door open and tried to go downstairs by myself. When I get my coat and shoes, I get to go to school and play with the kids all day.

Mommy picks me up and we wait for Grandma to ride me home. I look out the window at daycare and call for 'MumMumMumMum' (that's what I call Grandma) to arrive. Then we go home and I get to have dinner and dessert with Mommy and Daddy. Then I have my milk (and I tell Mommy when she forgets what time it is that I want my bottle) and Daddy tells me its bath time. I wave goodnight to everybody, turn the light out of them because its funny and walk upstairs with daddy. We then play in the bath and when I'm done I put all my toys away. Mommy and I brush our teeth. (I say Teeth pretty well now)... and then its book and bedtime.

Let's see. I am learning new words all the time. Some I can say better than others. The words I say right now are Mommy, Daddy, Kitty, Cat, Dog, Sheep, Baaa, Moo, Juice, Please, Fish, Bubble, Bottle, PapPap, and Cheese. i don't say them all the time, but I can say them. Sometimes I have to be coaxed into saying them.


I'm really learning how to feed myself. I'm better at using a spoon and love to feed myself yogurt. I try to use a fork but do not always hit the food.

I also have four new teeth coming in on the top. Hopefully they come in soon!
