My Best Friend

This is Oscar my best friend. He had a really hard day waking up and eating breakfast. If you listen closely you can hear him snoring.

Dance Moves

Check out my dance moves.

First day with my new shoes.

I got these very fancy shoes from Kathy (my daycare lady) because she knows how much I love shoes. I also love to pretend to talk on my 'cell phone', and sometimes I even drag a purse around behind me. Dad loves this....and yes that is mom laughing at me falling down, but I was OK.

Happy Louis Riel Day

My first house!  (aka car seat box)

My new DC sweater from Cousin Mark

I found my dad's hat and packed myself in my mom's suitcase.

I have been having a blast over the last month.  I have been learning new words everyday.  I even learned how to say Grandma and Grandpa over the Louis Riel long weekend in Dauphin.  We visited Grandma Schmidt, Grandma Church, and Grandpa Church for the weekend and let me tell you the were just bit excited when I could say Grandma and Grandpa.  

Bad Hair!!!

My Elvis hair.

Pebbles?

Playing the piano with my nice hair.

Mom says I look like dad with my orange beard.

My bangs are always in my eyes now.

Well 2009 has definitely hit the ground running.  Dad is busy at work, and mom is working more than usual.  Good thing I love day care.  I hadn't been there for a month, and didn't even cry the first time dad dropped me off in January.  Another exciting event happened last weekend, we bought a MINIVAN!!!!  Dad said he would never do it, but we could resist the convenience and price.  I got a kick butt new car seat too.  I hope you like the pics of my hair which seems to have a mind of it's own, and mom loves to play with it.

What a crazy busy but fun Christmas in D town. We got into town on the 19th and I hung out with Grandma and Grandpa Church for the first couple days because they were going to Phoenix to the Church's for Christmas. So for most of the holidays we got to hang out at Grandma Schmidt's. On the 21st I got to decorate the tree, and then was very excited to see it every time I walked into the room. I got to spend some quality time with my Uncle Tannin, Auntie Tommie, Auntie Jen, and Auntie Mandy. Uncle Tannin even got up with me one morning after having a little too much fun with Dad, thanks Uncle 'Tana'. We had a bunch of suppers, one at Grandma Schmidt's, then at Uncle Rob's, and then I even had a sleep over at Auntie Karen's while mom and dad went out to the Boxing day social. I got tons of present, and would like thank everyone for the awesome toys and stuff. We are heading back home tomorrow, and I don't know what I am going to do with only dad and Oscar. I have had so much fun here in Dauphin with all my family.

Have you seen my 'balls'?!?

We put the Christmas tree up on Sunday and I LOVE it.  This video was taken two days later and as you can see I am still very excited about it.  I haven't gotten close enough to touch it yet, but I like to stand a couple feet away and point out all the balls.

My First Solo

Grandma ad Grandpa Church came over this past weekend.  We had lots of fun!!  Hope you enjoy my piano performance.

Bonk!

Mom is very excited that she can almost put my hair in pig tails.

I really didn't like my butterfly suit.

Very sick with ear infections.

My new snow suit, again I don't like it.

Posing with my new clothes.

Eating by myself.

Well lots has happened since I was on here last.  Grandma and Grandpa Church came to our house for halloween, but I was a big dud and didn't even stay in my butterfly suit.  I helped dad hand out candy to all the kids instead.  Not too long after that I got my first ear infection, YEAH!  Mom and dad took me in quick though and caught it before it got too bad.  I took my medicine like a champ.  I've got lots of new tricks such as knowing where my hair, belly, nose, toes, and knees are.  I am saying lot of words now (they might not be  100% accurate though) such as 'Read a book', 'It's a bunny', 'Dog', Daddy, Mom, Here I am, Where is it, and the best one BONK.  I made it up when I was sick.  It tells mom and dad when something hurts.  And finally I have attempted to start eating with a spoon, so far so good.  

12 Days till Halloween

Life has been pretty busy here for last the month.  Dad is definitely in full swing at school with vball and jazz band in morning already starting.  I've been to 3 volleyball games already this year and love playing with the 'boons' aka balls.  Mom and I have started swimming classes and are still going to baby bumblebees, but now it is called the 'Gift of Words' and I definitely have the gift of babbling.  As you all know it is 12 days till Halloween.  Last year I was a duck and this year I've decided to go with the Butterfly.  Actually all you Dauphinites you may get visit from me because I will be in Dauphin for Halloween this year.  Cross your fingers.
