December 16-31

The rest of December was so busy!

Grammy brought my Christmas presents early.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How do you talk in to a flower?

 

This looks like a good one.

 

Ahh.  A princess castle.

 

I better take a break and recoup.  I don't know what to play with first.

 

This bag is really fun!

 

 

 

I like modeling the purse she gave me.

 

 

 

It came with lipstick and a hairbrush.

 

I got the hang of the flower microphone.  I'm warming up for country fame.

 

I throw every speck away (along with some things that aren't supposed to go in the trash.)

 

How did Mom ever wrap a present without me?

 

I've graduated to riding forward. 

 

This new view makes me feel like I'm on a different planet.

 

I have the best time drinking from a cup and then refilling it at the refrigerator.

 

I have my favorite apps on my parents' phones.

 

Yea!!! I just won!

 

At corporate prayer.

 

 

 

Stylin' in Mr. Cephas' hat.

 

My dad made a hideout for me.

 

 Mom dressed me up.  I got focused on an app again.

 

I found some things that were just my size when we were out one day.

 

Finding all of that great stuff wore me out.

 

Mom was handwashing her clothes.  I decided to wash some things from my kitchen drawer.

 

Hmm.  This won't fit here.

 

  I think it will dry faster over here, next to the heat from the stove.

 

I went to a Christmas party.  I ate at the table like all the big people.

 

This guy became my friend and he protected me.

 

This one is my sippy stand and guardian.

 

I walked around this tree and touched all the ornaments I could.   I would sit down on this present and rest and then go for another round of ornament touching.

 

 

 

Here are the three amigos.

 

 

 

I like riding with my ankles crossed.

 

Aren't buses supposed to take you places?

 

 

 

I got to visit with Pastor Doug and Mrs. Paul Anne. 

 

Ha ha, Daddy!

 

Mom.  This is our moment.

 

 

What's in the bag, Lydia?  Do you need help opening it?

 

Mommy loves this dress on me.

 

Patty cake, patty cake...

 

 

roll it up....

 

 

throw it in the oven for.......

 

baby & me.

 

Yea!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

At church on Christmas Eve.

 

 

Christmas morning I woke up with an upset tummy.

 

I really didn't feel like doing anything, even though I tried.

 

 

 

 

 

After getting sick and changing outfits a few times , Daddy took me so I could rest.

 

 

 

I felt like looking at some presents when I woke up.   I put all the paper I tore off in one pile.

 

What do these directions say?

 

 

 

This is fun.

 

 

 

I had to sit down.

 

I just quit at this point.  I couldn't do anymore.

 

 I was pretty much myself again on December 26th. I showed Molson that my belly was all better.

 

I helped Grandmomma with the laundry.

 

I also made Uncle Scott and Aunt Kensley very happy.

 

I climbed up the stairs to play with these stuffed people/animals a lot.

 

You sit right there.

 

You sit right there.

 

I'll sit right here.

 

 

I loved this penguin that sang and waddled.

 

I think this hat is a little too big.

 

I had to clean up after all of these festivities - while carrying my new purse from Uncle Scott.

 

I love my ball tent.

 

And my kitchen is the bomb.

 

It's snowing!

 

Ooooohhh.

 

This is the last picture taken in 2012.  My resolution for the new year is to eat.

Have a blessed 2013!

December 1-15

 

 

 

Welcome back!  My daddy was out of town for a few days at the beginning of this month so Mommy and I visited with all of my grandparents.

 

I gave Grammy an early Christmas present. It was an impression of my foot.  I think she really loved it.

 

I played hide-and-seek with Granddaddy. 

 

I would run to the closet, pull the doors closed and wait for him to find me.  He was always so surprised to find me in the closet!  It was the best hiding spot.

 

I'm heading to Mars.

 

Grandmomma gave Mommy some rolling luggage for Christmas (another early present). I tested it out by pushing it all over. 

 

I made some friends while we shopped.

 

Eating out is so fun!

 

 

 

 

Mommy's shoes and my Christmas frog.  What else could I need?

 

Bbbbooodddzzzbbddd!

 

 I visited Aunt Carol and Great Aunt Marjorie.  Great Aunt Marjorie gave me this booster chair.  Another favorite to add to my collection.

 

With Great Aunt Marjorie 

 

 Her dried flowers really needed watering and I'm just the girl for the job.

Lydia turned one!   Audrey and I shared the wonderful surprises that we have encountered entering our second year of life.

 

 

 

 I was very helpful with opening the gifts.

 

 I think I will try this one out for you, Lydia.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I played on the slide at the park.

 

 

 

 Then I practiced driving.

 

 I had so much fun my hair stood on its end.

 

 I played hide-and-seek with Daddy. This closet works just as well as Grandmomma's and Granddaddy's closet. 

 

 Ha ha!  Giggle giggle! Snort!

 

 I love playing in this room at church!

 

 

 

 I'm a great sitter.

 

 Having a little trouble getting up.

 

 

 

 That seat must have shrunk.

 

 My mom was out of town for a few days and my friend, Audrey, came to play one day. She calls me "Mill Mill".

 

 My misting machine was a huge crowd pleaser.

 

 Daddy used me to measure.

 

 Miss you, Mommy.

 

 Mr. Cephas came over to take our Christmas pictures.  I like him.

 

 Maybe I don't.

 

 Yet again, we took a few before we found one we liked. We used a train as our backdrop.

 

 I blew kisses.

 

 

 

 What's that over there?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 We decided on this one.
