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.
