ANTLER'S ANYONE?
Mom was really into the holiday spirit. After Christmas Eve service at church she made us all wear antler's to dinner. We filled our bellies full of Mexican food. I ate a tortilla :) Yum!















Cristmas Eve Gift!

CHRISTMAS COOKIES...
We have a new tradition in our family; Christmas cookies. I helped out! Mom taught me how to flip pancakes a month or so ago and I thought I should try to flip a few cookies too. Dad did most of the baking this year--and they were good!




















I got to eat some of the crumbs...mom and dad ate all the extras!

SILLY SOCKS...
Dad's socks are really silly...esp. when they are on me. Oh the little things that keep me laughing and entertained too! It doesn't take much money to make me smile (thank goodness.)




















Smelly socks!

GRITS...
Get me to a beach and fast! I love my new sandbox (thanks Uncle Jeff and Aunt Courtney!) I have played with all my sand toys so I decided to taste the sand. It wasn't so bad. Mom says she could see it coming. Why didn't she stop me...she just took a series of pictures instead. My hands were a bit wet so the sand was sticking. I don't like my hands to be dirty so I just licked them. Then I fed myself a bite right off the shovel. It looked a lot like a spoon to me.
I do lots of funny things with sand. Somedays I cover my feetin sand; other days I try to hold my legs up so the sand doesn't touch them. I fill up my shovel and toss sand into the air too. But, I mainly like to scoop it up and dump it OUT of the sandbox onto the flagstone. I just watch it fall there...here's my secret. I love to sweep it up. Mom made me take a bath and brush my teeth shortly after cleaning up.

What's with the weather...one day I'm wearing jackets and the next day shorts?

Lots of new foods...
Yum! I'm having lots of fun with new foods and the people sharing them with me. Quiz: Which foods do you think my mom approved of?

On Dasher, On Dancer...
Aunt Melissa and Uncle Gene got me a Radio Flyer wagon for my birthday. It is one of my favorite things. We have put miles upon miles on those wheels already. And, in case you were wondering, we park it in the living room.
I like to push it around the house, haul the mail back from the mailbox or just sit back and relax in the front yards of my neighbors :)
Mom wanted to turn my wagon into a sleigh. Trouble is, when the ride stopped so did my smile. We take lots of rides these days to check out all the lights and blow up Santas and snowglobes. Who knew he could be in so many places at once. I point and ohhh and awwww at all of them.
I love this time of year. I hold my cheeks when I feel the wind on my face and wave hi to everyone passing in a car or on foot. I think I am a favorite in my hood.
Aunt Melissa and mom say the hood on my wagon is important. I already have 2 freckles. They are trying to keep my skin so soft.

Ho, Ho, Ho!
Reagan is having lots of fun hanging the ornaments on the tree. He has even turned a few into musical instruments. Note: pewter makes amazing sounds when hit repeatedly on the tile or wood floors. I like to think that he is learning when doing this. High and low tones, soft or loud sounds; it is a lot like our music class. Reagan can even locate a few ornaments by name and pull them off the tree. He loves the bells tries to point out all of the lights. He says "mas" for Christmas and that means..."take me to the tree." We have never ending giggles and play time infront of the tree.

















Mom, too many pictures...PJ's means time for bed

HA HA HE HE HE!
I put a booger on the tree :) Reagan is having lots of fun teasing me these days too. I pull his finger out of his nose and he laughs and puts it right back in.















YUCK!

BIG DOG, LITTLE MAN...
Yikes! I hope Buster doesn't try to take my bell. Maybe I will just tease him with it a bit. This fence was probably a good idea. Buster does not take kindly to people holding on to "his toys." Mom interveins and Little Man is safe!















Dad, this was not a good idea!

Balloons Bust...
Who would have known that this balloon could bring a month of joy? Then, BUST went the birthday balloon! Needless to say there is a new balloon in the house. Reagan is back to toting it around, using it as a pillow, banging his hands on, watching it float to the ceiling, go round in circles with the fan and on and on and on. Hours of fun...PRICELESS!




















UT-Oh...what do you mean it's broken. I'm still having fun.

BEEP, HONK, VROOM, CRASH!...
I went to Will's birthday bash at Beyond Bounce and boy did I ever bounce. It took me awhile to get used to the big slides and how fast mom and I could make it down, but then I was ready to go. I liked all the cars too. We did a lot of driving that day. Mom thought this dump truck was the best until I slipped out. OUCH! Mom forgot that dump trucks DUMP their loads (that was me) and I had a bruise on my forehead. I just kept on driving.




















So big...16 is just around the corner

Flip Me Around!...
Finally, one year old and I'm facing FORWARD! It is a great feeling to be able to see where I am going. I have thrown all kinds of backarching fits trying to get out of this carseat recently. Grandma Malone even bought me a car to drive while we were driving so I could feel more involved. Everything works for awhile, but I am back to my old tricks. Cheerios solved the problem today--shake, shake! Got somewhere to go...I want to go to, but the way home will tire you out.





















Shake those O's

Gobble, Gobble...
I'm a bit bigger this year and I was really looking forward to all the yummy food. Too bad for me though--I did not like it! I was being picky so I ate Gerber instead. Happy Thanksgiving.
