Feliz navidad

We're leaving tomorrow! Yay!

Mom and I spent Christmas just hanging out while dad is at work.

I got a new monkey and I dig him.

He might come on the trip with us.

Mom and I went to the park today so I could run around

and be in the fleeting sunshine.

We saw whales, eagles, sea otters and a sea lion!
Now it is time for a nap, after that dinner at my friend Pheobe's house,
and then we'll hit a couple parties and go see dad at work.
See you tomorrow grandma J and Uncle Gabe!

Christmas vacation

In a couple days we are leaving to visit the family!

Here is what I have been up to.

Mom was sick so I got to hang out with dad a lot! While dad was doing something I climbed up onto a table,
got into the plants, and ate some dirt. I got in trouble too.

But I was back to frolicking in no time.

Mom wrapped me up in her new scarf from Turkey.

And mom and I have been working on my new skill: the spoon.

I don't always get it quite to my mouth, but I am getting better.

And I am so happy being independent.

See everyone soon!

The park

Mom and I went to the park today instead of swimming.

The sun was kind of out and I need to run!

Thanksgivingish

Happy Thanksgiving!
Grandma made a big dinner and it was delicious.

I played in the snow with mom, but it was cold and hard to walk in.

We got 20 inches of snow this month!

I also got to play with my best Sitka buddy Pheobë,

she moved in right by me! Yay!

We are so cute!

Day of disaster!

In case any of my Uncles need to keep track of my spills,

here is some info. I had one heck of a day, with 2 more hours to go.

It snowed about 9 inches today! Awesome!
Except mom's car couldn't get out of the driveway.

So she thought she would put me in the pack and walk to the store,
but the hill was slippery and we fell together and slid all the way down the hill!

I pulled a barstool on my head.

I climbed to the peak of my bumbo, fell off and hit my head on the table

While mom was making a pie I snuck in and grabbed the oven rack.

I ascended onto the couch and slipped off onto my bottle.

Now we are going to yet again brave the elements, this time with yak tracks.

Wish us luck!

There could be something good down there. I must check constantly.

How can I get down there without more head trauma?

I like to get on the couch for proper lounging.

snow!

Thank you Uncle Kaleb for my new Seahawk Pjs!

I already initiated them with peanut butter and apples.

Today my mom and I went out into the nature. It was my
first time playing in the snow and it was pretty cool!
Check it out!

It might look like midnight, but it was only 4 PM.

Can you see all my footprints? I did a good job and
only fell a couple times.

This is my snowball throwing pose, though when
mom gave me a snowball I just ate it.

I even kept my hat and mittens on the whole time,
which is probably a first for me.

Here is my snow video!

swimming

Mom and I have a standing Saturday afternoon date: swimming!
My friend Ever came today and his mom took a picture of me.

I am so strong I am holding myself up and
I even dunked myself 3 times, but I didn't really like that part.
Mom said I had to get out when my fingers were pruney
and my lips were purple.

I love swimming!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Well here I am, turning 1.
Mom and dad had a big party for me with
12 of their friends and 8 of my friends.
Mom made aztec soup and carrot cake for the adults,
and pasta and applesauce-carrot-pineapple
cake with whip cream for my friends and me.

Thank you for all the phone calls, cards and gifts everyone!
Enjoy my pictures!

Rrrrribit.

Mom figured out how to load some pictures from
grandma's camera so we'll start with some older photos
and then move on to my frog outfit.

I think this one was taco night. Mmm, black beans.

Kisses for Uncle Gabe.

Do frogs drink milk? This one does.


I just needed a quick shot before we went out on the town.

Practicing my frog moves.

Who is the cutest frog?

A couple frog tears.

My frog face.

Practing walking in the frog suit.

And eating at last. I love a good chow down.

3 days until I'm one!
