Anyone need a wipe?

My new favorite activity? You guessed it, emptying the wipes containers. It is really a ton of fun, as soon as I pull one out, there is another one just waiting to be pulled! Mom has only let me get away with this once so far, but dad usually doesn't notice until I have it at least half-emptied. I am pretty fast... and it helps if he is watching football:)

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

I'll get the phone mom!

Check out my new ride!

I made out like a bandit this Christmas. I have piles of new clothes, and so many new toys that mom hasn't even opened some of them! She figured she might as well surprise me with a few new ones each day for the next week or so. I love my new activity table, where I can talk on the phone, play the piano, read a book, and work on my laptop. I also got a few toys that I can ride on or just push along for now, including a train, giraffe, and a rocking elephant! I have a lot of fun playing with my new farm set and my very first purse that sings to me... the lipstick is my favorite (it rattles and is a good size to chew on). Santa brought me a Cabbage Patch doll that looks just like the one my mom had when she was little. I love to give her kisses. I could go on and on, but I really want to get back to the play room (okay, the living room!) and play away!

Where to begin??

We had a busy week with Christmas, but we survived, and boy was it fun! Lots of great new foods to try, plus hugs and kisses from family and friends. Oh, and some presents too, I'll show those off in just a bit. We had six parties to attend so I was pretty tired by the end of the week. We started off Christmas Eve morning at Grandma and Grandpa Weimert's, then headed to daddy's grandma Beatrice's, and wound up at Dan and Kristi McNamara's for Christmas Eve. Christmas Day we woke up at the farm and celebrated with grandma and grandpa and Grace, Lucy, and Leyton. I even got to try some of that famous baked french toast that daddy always brags about. Then we headed to Grandma Bev's for dinner. On Saturday we had one last party at Grandma Krumm's, where I got to see lots of aunts and uncles and cousins! I had a great first Christmas and am loving all of my new presents.

9 Month Check

I had my 9 Month doctors visit last Friday. She said I am growing really well, and I'll be walking and talking in no time. Don't know what she is thinking, I was talking to her the whole time! And I can walk along furniture and crawl really fast when I want something I shouldn't have, so why would I want to walk? I am now 28 1/4 inches long (75th percentile), 18lb 4oz. (40th percentile) and my head circumference is 17.3 inches (50th percentile). Oh, and another tooth update- I now have 8 teeth, four on top and four on the bottom! Mom bought me my first toothbrush... not very fun.

Ready and Waiting...

I may sound like my cousin Grace when I ask, "Is it Christmas yet?" I am all ready for Santa to come. We put our tree up two weeks ago, and then our stockings came and mom hung those up too. Mine is the one with the ballerina on it, and I hope he fills it really full! I heard mom telling dad that he should probably clean the soot out of the fireplace... maybe that is what Santa is waiting for??

I Saw Santa

I got to see Santa while we were down in Dodgeville. He was visiting Lands End, so I tagged along with Leyton. His lap just wasn't as comfortable as dad's, so I squirmed a little bit, but mom got some pictures. I did give Santa some ideas for Christmas- you know, anything that makes noise, lights up, or that I can drop and have mom pick up for me (over and over and over again).

Weekend with Friends

Sorry we have been pretty busy, but I wanted to let you know how much fun I had last weekend. Mom and dad and I went to Dodgeville to visit Becky, Eric, and Leyton. Then we met up with Megan, Scott, and Maddox in Mt. Horeb. Boy did we have fun! I mean, dad keeps telling me to stay away from boys, but they really aren't that bad:) Maddox has two puppies that laid right next to the gate so I could pet them. Thank you Leyton and Maddox for showing me such a good time, and I hope I can visit again soon.

Santa Came Early!

That's right, Santa made an early visit to my house! I woke up this morning and there was this beautiful new car seat in the living room. I got my very own Britax. I have been trying out grandma's and Aunt Kelly's for a couple of months now, and I finally got my own! I was wondering how long mom and dad were going to squeeze me into that infant seat. My new seat is "oh so comfortable" (and mom says it is very safe too). I can't wait to try it out, just in time for our road trip to Dodgeville this weekend.

I Love Lucy!

No, not the TV show. I love my cousin Lucy! She gave me this fabulous walker, and I just love it! I have so much fun pushing this around and walking across the living room. Plus it has all kinds of fun activities on the front of it, so when I get tired of walking I can sit and play. So thank you Lucy, and I hope you don't miss it too much (now I understand why you had such a hard time giving it up)!
