Snow Day

Big nap with Dad before our first time skating.

I am all bundled up for the outdoors.

Mom skating and pulling me in my sled on the Red River at the Forks.

Me and Mom!

Pooped after the skate.

It was a beautiful day, -4 degrees Celsius, in Winnipeg today so we thought we would take advantage of it.  Mark and Andy had a great idea to go and skate at the forks.  So mom and dad dusted off their skates, bought me a sled, and we went skating for the first time.  There was tons of people there and I actually really liked it.  I didn't cry once and actually fell asleep in the sled during the ride.  I think we will definitely have to do it again some time soon.  I am heading south to Bismarck this Thursday for a road trip with Grandma Schmidt and Dad's Jazz bands.  It will be the longest road trip yet.  I'll let you know how it goes.

First Tooth

My Bear outfit from Cousin Andy

Ready for a night on the town!

Eating in my highchair and Oscar wanting back in bad.

Well it's official I cut my first tooth.  Mom and dad noticed it a couple days ago when I was chewing on some stuff and they heard some clicking.  They didn't even know that I was getting my first tooth, so I thought I dealt with it pretty good on my own.  They kept on trying to get a picture, but it is so small. 

I got my first Festivas present from my cousins Carter and Jamo today.  It is a super cool book that I wanted to read a hundred times after my bath tonight.  Thanks a lot cousins. 

Mom and dad have been 'ferberizing' me for the last two weeks, meaning letting me cry myself to sleep.  I have been doing pretty good and I can even wake up in the middle of the night and get myself back to sleep with very little crying.  Dad and I have been hanging out in the evening lately when mom has been helping her friend Crystal with wedding planning.  We have been getting into a good routine of supper, play, bath, book, bottle, bed, crying for 10 minutes and then out till 2 or 3 in morning.  I'll keep you updated on the ferberization.

Hello 2008

Working in my office.(Oscar can't get my toys in here)

Check out my Xmas present from Mark and Andy (GNR)

Don't like chicken

Jumpin in the Jolly Jumper

I love oatmeal.......

and my Circle of Neglect

So far 2008 has been pretty good.  Dad went back to school and Oscar, Mom and I have been hanging out again.  I have been starting to eat my solids.  I eat three times a day and I like my cereal but not chicken.  Lately I have been liking peas, beans, chicpeas, and lentils.  I am hoping to get some fruit soon.  During the day I like to work in my office for a while, then watch some Baby Einstein in my Excersauser, then do some jumpin in the Jolly Jumper, and fit some eating in there.  I am a very busy girl and I'll keep you posted on any new tricks.
