Christmas!!!

Christmas was SO much fun! I got a Cozy Coupe car! It is pretty much the greatest thing ever invented. I hung out in it all day long, and even wanted to eat in it. I liked it best when my Uncle Ad or mommy (or anyone, for that matter) pushed me around in it. I even took Frosty for a spin (he was kind of crowding my space though so pretty soon he had to get out). All in all it was a great day for me and I was very spoiled.

I've still been saying more words every day! I like to say "boo berry" for blueberry. They are one of my favorite things to eat for breakfast. I also enjoy eating olives, especially when mommy puts them on my finger. They are like a fun toy that you can eat! She has to be careful though because I like them so much that I choke on them because I put too many in my mouth! Silly guy, I am! I have been able to say "B" for my best friend, Bryton. We call him "B" for short. I also have been very polite and am starting to say "peas" for "please". I also have been telling mommy when I go #2 in my diaper by saying "poop".

My cousin "B" got me a very nice black cowboy hat for Christmas. I like black hats the best of all. I like to wear them and then make everyone else put them on too. My favorite thing is to ride my rocking horse and wear my hat. I feel like a true cowboy then! My Grumpa and Uncle Ad have been taking me down to the barn with them when they feed the animals. I even got to ride a horsey the other day! So much fun!

Sooo Smart!

I have been just talking up a storm lately! I have so many new words to say! I have been saying "eat" when I am hungry. I am also saying "B" when I see my cousin Billy on TV. He's been competing in a BIG rodeo and he is a steer wrestler. It is fun to watch him and I pretend that I am wrestling a steer too! My Grammy and "Grumpa" just got back from watching him in Las Vegas. I missed them SO much. It was the best thing ever when they came to pick me up when they got home!

I also have been "talking" on the phone a lot. I say "hwo" for "hello". I like to hold mommy's phone and pretend like I am talking to my Uncle Ad. It's pretty fun. I miss him because he is crab fishing in San Francisco. But I still like to pretend like we can talk on the phone.

I also said my babysitter Leana's name the other day. Well, I call her "Nana". She was very proud of me. I am ONE smart cookie!

Turkey Day!

This was my first REAL Thanksgiving. Sure, I was around last year, but I really didn't partake in all of the festivities because I was on a strict diet of milk, milk, and more milk. This year I got to do what I do best: eat! I loved the turkey and the sweet potato casserole that mommy made. Sweet potatoes are yummy! I was also VERY tired that day. I had woken up early because I was staying the night in an unfamiliar place (my Tee Tee's house aka Auntie's house). So I crashed right around the time everyone sat down to eat (around 6:45pm) and didn't wake up until 6:15am. I was tuckered out! I don't normally sleep an entire 12 hours straight!

I also have been doing some new things. I love to say "baby" now. I like to go around the house pointing out all of the "baby" pictures. I also discovered that I love to ride the rocking horse at my Tee Tee's house. For still being a pretty little guy, I sure can ride that horse, hard! I also love to play with my Uncle Adam and I am sad because he is working out of town right now. At least I got to see him for the holiday. I also got to see my cousin Billy. Everyone calls him "B". I was in awe of "B" and kept saying his name. I also was happy that he let me wear his cowboy hat!

Time Change

Boy, that time change that happens twice a year really throws me off! I had been sleeping so well-from about 8pm to 6:30am. Once that time change happened I was up early! Like 5:00 or 5:30am. And WIDE awake! I didn't want to go back to sleep and got really upset with mommy when she tried to lay me back down. Even when she gave me my favorite bottle full of milk I wasn't satisfied! I was ready to be up. I was a cranky mess after about 45 minutes, but I still wanted to be awake!

Fortunately for everyone, I'm now just about back on track. Mommy is happy and I am happier too.

I've been missing my Uncle Adam lately. I love him so much, and he's gone right now, crabbing in San Francisco. I still like to think that he's around though because every time I see a picture of someone with a cowboy hat I say "Aaaum". I really hope he comes back soon!

I have been saying more and more words every day. I say "Bom Bom", which is what I call my great grandpa. I stay with him and my great-grandmother "GG" every Wednesday and we have so much fun together!

I also have been staying with my Auntie Melanie sometimes, if my regular sitter, Leana is gone. She isn't REALLY my auntie, but I just call her that. She's so much fun and we play together all day long until mommy comes home!

Well, that's about all for now! Sorry no pictures this time!

If you're happy and you know it!

Clap your hands! I love to do this now. Well, I've been doing it for some time but it's become a favorite hobby lately. I think I'm pretty darn cute when I do it too. And I will do it anytime, in the car, during a football game on tv, when someone smiles at me, when someone laughs at me! I'm quite the ham these days!

Christmas Pictures

So we are trying to pick out the perfect Christmas pictures for our Christmas cards! There are so many good ones it is really hard to choose! Mommy is thinking of doing three pictures: one with her and I, and then two of me by myself, because I am just so cute! Here are some ideas of the ones she is thinking of.

In other news, I have been chatting away, even more than I was before! I now call my Grandpa "Baa" because that's what he says when he calls the cows to feed them. I also have been attempting to say "bottle" but it also sounds more like "baa". I say "more" when I want more food. I like to read "The Three Little Pigs" and I try to say "and he huffed, and he puffed" for the part where the big bag wolf is trying to blow the house down! Reading is probably my favorite thing to do. Grammy bought me some new books because I just read so many while I am at her house!

I also have been climbing on things. Sometimes this works out well, sometimes it doesn't. I fell off the rocking chair in my room and that hurt. I also fell off my rocking horse (it was partially my fault because I was standing on it though). I have also been communicating well and my babysitter, Leana loves this. She asked me the other day if I wanted "night night" because I was cranky. I nodded my head and she layed me down and I was out like a light!

Speaking of sleep, I've been doing a great job of it at night. I sleep from 8pm until about 6:30am. I am a bit of an early bird but 6:30am isn't TOO bad.

Jack 'o Lantern!

It's that time of year again-Halloween! I was really excited to carve a Jack 'O Lantern this year! My Auntie Mel came over and helped me. I was more interested in eating the pumpkin than carving it, however. It was a really windy night so when it came time to light candle Auntie Mel did have a little trouble. Eventually we succeeded though and I thought it looked pretty cool on our porch! Here are a couple of pics of the event!

Oh, and just in case anyone has been wondering, here are some thing that I have been up to:

-saying all kinds of words: hot, duck, dog, attempted "yellow", nut, and ball.

-speaking of balls, I have been trying to throw the ball for my dog, Tug. He's pretty impatient but I still have a lot of fun trying!

-I have been waking up quite early in the mornings for some reason. Like around 5:30 or sometimes earlier! This doesn't work out too well so mommy is trying to figure out the reason for this. It's not fun to have a cranky baby who didn't get enough rest on her hands!

-I'm pretty much down to one nap a day.

-I adore books and bring mommy or grammy books to read to me.

-I also love my Wee Sing train. I can ride it but it is also teaching me words and sounds. It is fun!

Pumpkin Patch!

I went to the pumpkin patch this weekend with Mommy, Grammy, and my grandpa aka Grumpa. It was lots of fun and I even picked out a pumpkin that was just my size! I can't wait to carve jack 'o lanterns with my Auntie Mel next week! Mommy and Grammy even had Grumpa cut down some cornstalks for festive fall decor for their houses. Boy that Grumpa can sure cut down cornstalks faster than anyone I have ever seen!

One Year Pictures!

Here are some one year pictures (a little late since I am now 14 months). Meghan Collenberg took them, once again, and once again she did a fantastic job! I think the ones of me and mommy turned out good too! Enjoy!

Mommy Blogging Fail

So mommy has been slacking BIG time on blogging. But it's mostly because she can't blog from her work computer. So I've been up to lots and lots of things since last time she blogged. I can WALK now! Actually, scractch that. I can RUN. And I run everywhere. Nothing is safe from me and boy am I curious!

I also have been talking. I have been saying "mamama" for awhile but now I say many other things. I can say "Aaaa am" for Adam, my uncle. I say "chee chee" for GG, my great-grandma. I also say "Tee Tee" for Auntie. I can say "hot" and "go". I also attempt to say "kitty". I am one smart little man!

My sleeping has also improved greatly. I generally go to bed at 8 and sleep until about 6:30 or 7. I think it's because mommy finally stopped going in when I made the slightest peep. Eventually I learned to soothe myself back to sleep and now I rarely wake up at all. Mommy is HAPPY and, frankly, I am happier too. It's pretty great getting a full night's rest. Sleep is NOT overrated, who knew?

Water Baby!

So we took a trip to see my Auntie and she has a pool! It was so much fun! I loved the water and played and played, and played (you get the idea). I have an inflatable turtle that is fun to float in but I also like just swimming around in the water. I even blew some bubbles and put my face under the water. Basically, I have no fear! I can't wait until another nice day when I get to swim again!

Mommy's Lookalike

So pretty much everyone always says that I look like my mommy. It's kind of funny because she's a girl and I'm a boy (duh) but we do have lots of similarities.

I even act a lot like she did when she was little. I like to pretend I have a terrible cough, just to see what people do and see if I can get any sympathy/attention from people within earshot. Apparently mommy used to do this too. Maybe that's why she loved Drama in highschool?? I also don't like it very well if things, ummm, don't go my way. Well, I just know what I WANT and lots of times I want it now. So if said things don't go my way, I often take drastic measures that involve sticking my lower lip out and bursting into tears. Yah, maybe I will have an upcoming high school career that involves Drama class as well.

Generally though I'm a pretty happy guy, except when I am tired. I just know what I want and am not afraid to do what it takes to get it!

Mr. Sandman....bring me a dream!

So sleep has been getting better and better in our house...thanks to me! I have generally been going down between 8:30 and 9:00pm and sleeping until about 5. Then I eat and am back down again until 6:30am or 7. If I do wake up before that I usually soothe myself back to sleep with no help from Mommy. I am such a big boy!

I have also been taking more steps lately. Every day I get that much closer to walking! My favorite thing to do is walk holding someones finger or walk/run pushing my cart. Then I can go really, really fast!

I am also getting more animated. It is very fun to push tractors or my train around and make noises as I go. I am pretty much 110% boy!

Great Grandparents!

I am such a lucky boy because I get to go to my great-grandparents house one day a week while my mommy is at work. I love them! My GG (short for great-grandma) loves to sing to me. She sings "Old MacDonald", "The Itsy Bitsy Spider", and my favorite "Santa Clause is Coming (To Town)". My great-grandpa, who I call "Bom Bom" is basically my most favorite person in the whole world. He takes me outside to see the geese and the kitties, and we also ring the wind chimes. Sometimes we both take a little snooze together in his rocking chair.

It's so much fun visiting them and I love to go there every Wednesday!

First Haircut!

So the other night I got my very FIRST haircut! Again, sorry for the crappy quality of the picture, mommy JUST got a new camera yesterday and this pic was taken on her cell phone. Nonethless, I still think I look pretty handsome with my new 'do. I don't have a whole lotta hair but it was getting a little long above my ears. So mommy thought it would be a good idea to get a trim and THIS is the result!

Me and My Pal!

Here's sort of a crappy cell phone picture of me and my friend! He came over to play for a little bit last night.

Mommy hasn't been blogging very much because her camera is still broken, but the good news is....she is getting a new one!

I have been sort of a crankypants these days because I am in the process of getting two more teeth. They are right there and ready to come out. Instead of the top two they are the "fangs" on the top. So once they pop out I might look like a vampie (a cute vampire but a vampire, nonetheless).

I also took my FIRST STEP the other day! It was very exciting! I was a little afraid at first but I went for it and was so proud of myself that I squealed and shrieked! That is something that I also enjoy doing a lot these days. It's generally fun to make as much noise as I possibly can!

My sleeping has been pretty good these days but I still usually wake up once a night. The earlier I go to bed the better I sleep during the night. And I do my best sleeping in my own crib. It is hard for me to adjust to anywhere else (like mommy's bed, a pack 'n play in a hotel, or anywhere else that is unfamiliar).

Well, that's about all for now, hopefully once we get our new camera mommy will get on the ball and take some more pictures!

Happy (belated) Mother's Day

Mommy hasn't posted here for awhile (ok, a long while) because there is something wrong with her camera. Here's a couple of pictures from our Mother's Day Brunch. There is one of me and Mommy and one of me and Grammy! We had a good day and had a yummy breakfast at Hot Brew. Mommy, Grammy, and Grammy's friend, Tina all got roses.


In other news, we took a trip to Redding and I got to have my first experience in the pool. I liked it and floated around in my inflatable turtle. What I DIDN'T like was the dorky hat that Mommy made me wear so I didn't get a sunburn. I think I looked pretty dumb in it. But Mommy thought I looked adorable. The worst part was I couldn't yank it off because it attached under my chin. Mommy is going to try to post pics of that trip but that's where the camera started to have issues. I think it may have gotten wet by the pool.

I also have been learning lots of new things. I like to imitate people and I also am becoming animated. I cough just to see what people do. Normally they stop what they are doing and ask me "how's that terrible cough?". So of course, I cough again, just to show them. I also have learned how to sign "more" in baby sign. It comes in handy when I am eating. Just when everyone thinks I am done I sign it again and the food keeps coming! Now I am working on signing "all done". Although I generally am not "all done" until someone finally stops feeding me. I also have been standing for long periods of time. The other day we counted for 27 seconds! I am not quite sure about taking a step yet though.

Happy Nine Months to Me, Mr. P!

So I am 9 months old today! Big boy! Here are some of the things that I have been up to: I am into everything that I can get to, including drawers, our DVD collection, mommy's shoe collection, and the speakers at Grammy's house! I can't quite figure out why everyone gets so upset when all I want to do is explore! I have also been sleeping better, which means I generally go to bed around 8 or 8:30 and sleep until 4:30 or 5am. Then back down again until 6:30am, which is my usual wake-up time. I love to push my cart around and am very skilled at using only ONE hand! Haven't quite figured out how to turn it yet so I just get mad and start howling when I bump into something. I also recently learned how to clap my hands and wave "bye bye". Well, that's about all for now, I probably need to get back to whatever it was I was doing (which is probably getting into something I shouldn't have been into).

Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails...that's what little boys are made of!

This isn't the greatest picture of him....but this is my puppy! His name is Duke, after John Wayne. I love him very much and he is very fun to play with. Daddy brings him over when he comes to visit. Usually when I see him I smile and get really excited, and then I crawl after him. He doesn't really seem to like it when I squeal and grab his fur-I can't quite figure that out yet.

I have been eating so much lately! I really can't get enough food! My nursing strike is over, so mommy is relieved about that. I am also very interested in everything that EVERYONE else is eating. The other day I had real meat the other day (in very small, itty, bitty bites of course). I also have discovered a love for Cheerios! It is so much fun to feed myself. Most times when other people try to feed me they just aren't fast enough, not to place blame on anyone *ahem, mommy.

Mommy has also decided to try the Dr. Ferber method with me again since I have been waking up very often at night. It isn't too much fun but hopefully the end result will be that everyone sleeps better!

Mommy's Little Helper!

So lately I love to help mommy-it's my new thing! I am such a big helper too! She is very busy so she needs help with lots of things so I am more than happy to lend a hand! I am very good at laundry (as you can see from the photos), although I can't quite understand why mommy doesn't see just how useful I am! Laundry baskets are lots of fun too! This one was full of clothes and everyone knows baskets are more fun when they are empty, so I just threw everything out onto the floor.

In other news, sleeping is going better for me. Mommy has been letting me see if I can put myself back to sleep on my own. Usually I fuss for a little bit but as soon as I find my Wubbanub I plop it back in my mouth and I'm out like a light again!

I also have been having a little trouble with....separation anxiety. I really hate to say good-bye in the mornings when mommy leaves for work. Sometimes I cry and it is very hard for her to walk out the door....luckily I know she will always come back and I am extra happy to see her when she gets home!

Mama's Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys

So we had our branding at our ranch and I got to take my first REAL horsey ride! It was so much fun. I wanted to wear my cowboy hat but I have grown soooo much that it is too small for my big head!

The horsey that I am riding is Billy Ray. He's named after the country singer and he is my Grumpa's horse. He does look a little pink in the picture but he is really brown and white. I had lots of fun riding and can't wait until I get a real horse of my very own. For now I will have to ride with people but it won't be long before I can do it all by myself!

And We're Off!

So I am officially crawling! Lookout world, and hello babyproofing! I want to get into everything and now I can!! I am also getting quicker by the day. The other day mom left the room for a split second and came back and I was about ready to have a lamp crash down on me. I also am loving pulling up on everything. I have several goose eggs on my head right now because I am so brave that I overestimate what I can do.

Here is a cute picture of me at my Grammy and Grumpa's house. Uncle Ad left his saddlebronc saddle on the floor and I discovered it. Can you say future rodeo star?

New Carseat!

Check out my new "big boy" carseat! It was definitely time for a new carseat. My old infant carrier was getting a wee bit crowded (maybe that's why I threw a fit everytime mommy tried to put me in it).

This carseat is extra comfy, I feel like I am kicking back in a recliner! I'm almost 22 pounds now and the carseat goes up to 50 pounds so I should be in it for awhile!

Easter!

Easter was lots of fun! I got to see my cousins and lots and lots of family! I also got to try some yummy food. I normally am a big fan of brunch but I wasn't too crazy about Potato Casserole. I did enjoy the jello though-gotta love the mini marshmallows, mmm, mmm! I must say that I looked pretty darn handsome in my button down shirt, Wranger jeans, belt, and little cowboy boots! Too bad my cowboy hat doesn't fit my big head anymore! Oh well, my head is just extra big because I am extra smart!

Ride 'em Cowboy!

This picture pretty much sums it up-yah, I ADORE horses! I also have a rocking horsey which I love, love, love! And this weekend, I rode a REAL horse for the very first time. Stay tuned for pics to come of that.....I can't really miss loving horses. My mommy loved her rocking horse growing up and still loves to ride. My Uncle Ad is a saddlebronc rider, my great-cousin B is a steer wrestler, my grandpa ropes and rides, and so does almost everyone else in my family! So it looks like I will be following suit with everyone else given that I am already showing how much I like horseys!

I am excited because we get to go out to our ranch again to brand our calves on Thursday, and maybe I will get to ride another REAL horsey again!

In other news: I have been enjoying big people food. Yesterday I ate some leftover ham from Easter dinner. I also like to drink water from my brand new sippy cup! I have sort-of been on a milk strike lately but hopefully that won't last forever.

I also have been moving around a lot in my sleep. Mommy can't figure out what in the world I do at night. At first she was scared because I started sleeping on my belly but then she read in the baby-book that it is ok.

Road Trip

We took a trip to Santa Rosa to meet up with my Auntie Lindsey. It was pretty fun to see her. I didn't really like shopping all that much but I cooperated pretty well and snoozed for part of the time.

One fun part of the trip was the FOOD! I am a big fan of buffets, especially breakfast buffets! There was so many things that I could eat and they were all yummy. I feasted on egg yolk, oatmeal, French toast, yogurt, fruit, and pancakes! I felt pretty important sitting in my highchair eating like a big boy! And normally when I go on a trip I don't sleep well because I am out of my routine. Well not on this trip-I slept from 9pm until 5:30am! Pretty good for me and very good for mommy and grammy. We might have to do the road trip thing more often!

Oh the Places I will Go!

So, I am really, really close to crawling! In fact, I sort of do crawl, just in the wrong direction! I can see something that I want and it's right in front of me, but then I start moving in the wrong direction! It's so frustrating to go backwards when I want to go ahead! Sometimes I lift one foot up and the opposite hand and sort of wobble there, unsure of what my next move should be!

I have also discovered how fun it is to pull myself up on things. Sometimes it is a little scary because I pull myself up, then decide I want to be down, and I can't figure out how to get back to the floor. Luckily I have figured out all I need to do is scream and mommy will help me! I am really a little daredevil. The other day I pulled up, then decided to let go with not just one hand, but BOTH hands! I stood there for a second before I toppled over. It was still fun though and I have a very hard head so when I crashed it didn't hurt me. I have also been "cruising" as they call it in the baby book. Which means I creep my way around holding onto something. It's pretty fun too!

I just can't wait until I get this whole being mobile thing figured out. Oh the places I will go!

Sunshine and Springtime (well, as of tomorrow)!

Today felt like summertime already even though we are officially one day shy of spring! This picture was taken at my babysitter, Leana's house. Looks like I am having a great time outside, catching some rays! I wish mommy could've come home early today to play with me outside and boy, did she wish she could have too! Tomorrow we are going to Santa Rosa to see my Auntie Lindsey-road trip! I am not too fond of my carseat these days (probably because I am almost too big for it) but it will be fun once we get there! These last few nights have been kind of rough...my new teeth are making sleep difficult. Last night I sobbed and sobbed everytime mommy tried to lay me down. Hopefully the next few nights will be better and we will all get some rest!

Foggy Bottoms Milk Run

This weekend was the Foggy Bottom Milk Run! I came out to cheer on my Auntie Mel! I was so proud of her because she finished her race in record time. Then she gave me lots of big kisses when the race was over with. I even wore my sneakers for the occasion. Even though I can't run (or walk, or crawl quite yet) I think they are pretty cute!

Speaking of crawling. I am thisclose to doing it! I get on all fours and rock and rock and get really frustrated because I just want to MOVE! I am also working on several more teeth. This makes for some restless nights. Mommy says it is definitely harder to wake up in the middle of the night with me when she isn't used to it. Thankfully I have only done this two nights this week. *Fingers crossed* that it won't be a new trend that I am starting!

I am also eating lots more food. I love pretty much everything mommy gives me. I eat baby food but it's kind of boring. It's MUCH more interesting to see what everyone else is eating. If mommy holds me and is trying to eat, I generally scream until I get to taste it, or at least touch it. I also love to drink water from her cup. Sippy cups are for little babies, cups are for big boys, like me!

Big Changes!

I have been doing so many new things it is hard to keep up with me! Sleeping has been going great, I am going down around 7:30pm and usually sleeping until 5am-sometimes later. Then I eat and am back down until around 6:30am. Mommy never realized how important sleep was until she didn't really get any for about 6 months! I am such a big boy and I do best sleeping in my crib-when I am tired mommy just lays me down and turns on my crib soother or white noise and I suck on my wubbanub and cuddle my blankie and pretty soon I am just snoozing away!

I have also been very active lately-I just can't wait until I can really move around and crawl! I scoot on my bottom and everytime mommy turns around I am in a different spot. The other day I scooted over to the coffee table and bonked my head and it HURT! But mommy kissed it and that made it better. I've got a pretty hard head too!

I pulled myself up on my horsey at Grammy's house the other day. I really, really love my horsey and was determined to stand up next to it and I DID! Then I got to take a ride. That horsey is just so much fun I can't help yelling and squealing because it's so much fun to go for a ride!

I also have been very interested in food. That baby food stuff isn't nearly as much fun as what big people are eating. Grammy gave me a teether cookie the other day and that was cool and I made a HUGE mess all over my shirt and face. I also had some of mommy's toast with butter and that was pretty yummy too! It's fun to try new things!

Mommy put some sneakers on me the other day and it was the first time I wore shoes and couldn't pull them off. It was pretty fascinating to check them out when they were on my feet, and they were fun to eat too! Socks are for little babies and shoes are for big boys!

TGIF!

Hurray for the weekend and two days off with Mommy! It's nice when she and I can hang out in the morning instead of her rushing off to work! We have a great time hanging out, reading books, and mommy likes to enjoy her morning cup of coffee (which she needs because even though I am sleeping through the night, I am an early bird and like to rise and shine around 6am!). I am excited because tonight I get to see my good friends Bryson and Bryton. Our mommies are getting us together so we can hang out and then they can hang out too, just talking and doing mommy things! Bryson and Bryton are adorable just like me and stay tuned for fun pictures to come!

Mommy has been up earlier even than me each morning doing her 30-Day Shred DVD. That Jillian Michaels looks like one tough cookie! Sometimes I hang out and watch mommy and I exercise in my rainforest jumparoo. Other times I keep snoozing until she is finished.

I have been doing lots of talking these days and like to babble and hear the sound of my own voice. I like to say "da da da" and "ga ga ga". Mommy doesn't really understand what I am trying to say but at least I know what I am talking about. I also have one tooth that finally made it's presence known and another one that looks like it is on it's way.

I have been sitting up on my own for about a month now but sometimes I don't want to sit (I just prefer that someone hold me at all times). So when I don't want to sit I just stiffen up my entire body like a board and make it impossible for anyone to bend me. It's kind of amusing to see everyone try to bend me-good luck with that-I am one strong, big boy!

I had so much fun this weekend. I got to play with my cousins Lillian, Madison, and Olivia. There aren't any pics on here of me with Lillian and Maddy but there are some good ones of me and Olivia. She is only four days older than me, although I outweigh her by about 6 lbs! But I am a big boy. She has actually grown lots since she was born. And, she is taller than me! I really enjoyed her pretty pretty pink shoes and kept grabbing them. We were both about due for naps and so we were pretty fussy but our mommies managed to get a few good pictures of us.
