My First Christmas - Part 1 of 3

Last weekend we went to Burwell to celebrate Christmas with the DeGroff's Cousin Jaylee and I Jaylee was covering her eyes and saying, "where's the baby? . . . There she is!!" I thought she was so funny!! Cousin Trista helped me open this big present. Check out this fun big girl chair I got. . . Here is my new magnetic fridge farm. I love playing in the kitchen while mommy is making dinner, washing bottles or unloading the dishwasher. I got this really fun tea pot that makes noises when you act like you are pouring, or opening the lid. cousin Paxton and I had a tea party!! Cousin Gauge helped me learn how to work my new learning art easel. Papa and Grandma got me a pink princess pony!!! I love riding my pony!!!

I'm on the move . . . .

Watch me do my army crawl!! I made it all the way out into the kitchen!!

Splish Splash I was taking a bath!!

Black Friday shopping

Here I am on Thanksgiving day helping mommy and daddy look through all the Black Friday adds. I had lots of ideas of what they should buy, but they didn't go out and buy anything!!

Just me and my Mom, hangin' in Burwell.

Last weekend daddy went hunting with his friends, so mommy and I went to Burwell for the weekend to visit the DeGroffs. I was a very good litle girl while riding in the car all that way. I just slept and played with the toys that are hanging in my car seat. Watching football is hard work, so I took a little nap with uncle Jason. Here I am with all the DeGroff cousins. Here I am playing with my cousin Addie and my cousin Jaylee. They made me laugh the hardest I have ever laughed before, which made everyone else laugh too. Grandpa called it belly laughing. Here I am with my new baby cousin Paxton. He is only 1 month old. Hard to believe I was ever that little. He is so darn cute!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

November 10th was Daddy's birthday. I sent cupcakes to him at work. And we had ice cream cake at home at night. silly daddy put some frosting on my nose!!!

Surfing the internet

Checking my e-mail. Oh my . . I don't believe it . . stocks are up!!! shopping . . shopping . . shopping. This is almost as fun as shoping at the mall with mommy.

Little Miss Muffet Sitting on her Tuffet

I am a total pro at sitting up now!! I am also doing lots of moving around by rolling and scooting.

Happy Halloween!!

Here I am in my little Halloween outfit with matching hat and socks!! Dexter wanted to be in the picture too!! Here is my Halloween costume - I'm a lobster!! Mommy bought me a little lamb costume about a month ago, but when we tried it on last weekend it was way too small, so mommy got me this lobster costume instead.

My new chair

I got this new chair so that I can sit with Mommy and Daddy up at the counter and eat dinner with them. pretty cool huh!! It spins and locks to the side so that mommy can feed me.

A visit from Grandma and Grandpa Sylliaasen

Last weekend my Grandma and Grandpa Sylliaasen came to visit me. Grandpa and I were cheering for Purdue. Grandma and I were cheering for Nebraska. Well, I'm not sure if Grandma was really cheering for Nebraska. :) Check out the new toy I got. It has tags all over it. Tags are my favorite - I love to put them in my mouth!! Grandpa told me a funny joke!!

6 month doctor appointment

On Wednesday Ocobter 14, 2009 Mommy and Daddy took me to my 6 month doctor appointment. Here I am waiting for the doctor to come in. There are butterflies, trees and bees on the walls in this room. I told daddy not to be afriad of the bees, they are not real. I weighed in at 13 pounds, 12 ounces. I am in the 10th percentile on the growth chart for weight, 15th percentile for height and 25th percentile for size of head. The doctor says I am a little peanut. I got a roto virus vaccination in my mouth and four shots which included the flu vaccination. I cried really loud for about a minute, but then I was better. I got four cool crayon bandaids.

I am 6 months old today!!!!

This morning I got all dressed up for a jog. I am sitting up by myself . . . well, for a little while. When I fall over I get really upset!!! I got this new toy today for my 6 month birthday!! And I got another nasty cold too. I've been coughing, sneezing snot, and just plain miserable.
