Mommy and I went shopping and mommy bought me my very own chair to sit in. I still have problems climbing in it and getting out, but I really love sitting in it. (I think mommy likes that I can't get in and out by myself because she knows that means I will sit in one place for awhile...silly mommy)
Mommy had fun taking my picture while I was in the bathtub after eating my noodles and sauce. I had to show off for the camera. See me sticking out my tongue? That's my new trick...I stick my tongue out and try to reach my chin. Then I like to make silly faces.
Notice my face is still stained??
Just getting started...yummy!
I think I need a bath...
Saturday I went to my friend Marc's first birthday party. I had so much fun playing with everyone. I even wanted to help him open his birthday presents. AND I loved eating the cake! There was so much yummy food that mommy let me try. I of course loved it all even though I had eaten lunch right before we went. Afterall, a growing boy needs to eat!
Sunday after church, mommy and I went to playgroup while daddy was at the symphony concert. I had fun playing with Evelyn, Cheyenne, and Chloe. There were also quite a few babies around but I wasn't so sure what to do with them. I tried to play ball with Aiden, but mommy and Denise didn't like me throwing the ball AT him. Then I tried giving Mia a hug, but I accidently knocked her over. Oops. I can't wait to play with everyone again. Maybe Aiden, Kaden and I can all play together when they get bigger.
Mommy and daddy were tired of everyone nagging them about getting my hair cut. I thought I looked just fine but people kept calling me a girl even though I DEFINITELY look like a boy. So mommy and daddy took me to mommy's stylist, Rebecca. Daddy was going to go first and show me how it's done, but I was in such a good mood that I got my hair cut first. I did so good! I sat in daddy's lap while Rebecca cut my hair. Everyone was so proud of me!
Remember how I told you mommy and daddy love taking pictures of me? Well they also love getting my pictures taken! Here are some of the pictures that were taken at Target on my birthday. I had a really bad cold so don't pay attention to my red nose.
So stylish...
Hmmm what's this?
All done making a mess!
(I was covered in cake from head to toe!)

I have so much fun making messes and rearranging all my toys that mommy works so hard to organize. Sorry about the glare...I had to have the window shades open so I could watch the tree trimmers across the street.
What it started out looking like...
The result!
Thank you everyone for all the books and toys! I will be sending thank you notes out soon!
Finally I am getting around to posting about my Very First Christmas! It was so busy, I didn't know WHERE I was half the time.
On Christmas eve, we spent the evening with grandma and Daddy's cousin. I met first cousins once removed (Rich and Linda) and first cousins twice removed (Neil and Tony). I also met my great aunt (Merlin). Everyone was so much fun. After we ate dinner, we all sat by the big decorated tree and opened presents. I got to open mine first. I had so much fun playing with the box! The car inside was neat but the box was so much better! I got so many neat things from everyone including Santa. I started to get a little bit cranky when I didn't have anymore gifts to open so mommy and daddy changed me into my Christmas pajamas and let me snuggle with them until everyone was done opening presents. I don't remember much after mommy loaded me in the car because I fell asleep and didn't wake up until Christmas morning!
What no more presents for me?
That's ok, I'll just play with this bag...
So tired...
On Christmas morning, I walked into the living room and guess what? Santa had come!
He left me a train,
some clothes, some books, and a bunch of other really neat toys.
I got to play with some of my toys while mommy and daddy took turns getting ready for church. Once I was dressed, we went and picked up grandma. Church was so beautiful. I love listening to the handbell choir and all the music. I started to get antsy and cranky since I was missing my nap so mommy took me to the back of church so I could walk around for a bit. Once I was buckled in my carseat, I was out like a light. I didn't wake until we got to my Great Aunt's house. Everyone was there! I got to see all of mommy's cousins and my greatgrandma and my other great aunt and uncle. It was so much fun! I even got to sit at the table with the grownups! After mommy gave me my food, I ate some mashed potatoes, yams, macaroni and cheese and some cookies. Then I got to play with everyone after opening my toys from the Barney clan! I of course fell asleep on the way home.
