Christmas #1

Today we celebrated Christmas #1 at Sassy's house. We are celebrating early with her because she will be in Germany during Christmas visiting Mose. Christmas #2 will be on the real day and celebrated at home with Ba Ngoai (Mommy's Mommy). Carter was there and so was Avery and Alex. There were lots and lots of presents! I was kinda having a bad day though because I didn't take a nap in the morning on account that I went to bed very very late the night before and woke up late. So, I was a grumpy boy most of Christmas #1 with moments of happiness.

I got a very cool wooden bike from Mose and Sassy from Germany! I'm too big to ride it just yet but as soon as my feet touch the ground i'll be scooting all around on it. I also got some cool new fish maracas from Mommy and Daddy, a telephone, some books, a doggy that walks a plank, and Mommy let me have some of my other big gifts early - my kitchen and a cool activity block. There were other things too but my memory is failing me at the moment. I had lots of fun playing with all the toys there - Carter got some cool ones!

Death of Dora & Other Unimpressive Things

So. My morning starts off like this. I wake up... watch some Dora. Dora ends and normally I watch Super Why. But today, the PBS station decides it wants to go blank on me. So no Super Why. I'm unimpressed. My diaper is full, and Mommy wants to change it. Unimpressed. Mommy tries to put my sweater on, my jacket, a hat, some mittens. I"m unimpressed. I throw a tantrum, lay on the floor crying and screaming. Mommy doesn't pick me up!!! Can you imagine??? I am UNIMPRESSED!! We go downstairs to the car and Mommy tries to put me in the carseat. Yes... unimpressed. She pulls out the DVD player and turns Dora on. Ok..i'm a little impressed. We get down the road a bit...DORA DIES!!! The battery on the DVD player is out. Whoa...WHOA. This is bad news. I'm very much unimpressed. And I let Mommy know. I let her know the ENTIRE ride to grandma's. We get there and Mommy takes my stupid hat off, my stupid mittens, my stupid coat, and makes my stupid breakfast. I'm really not impressed yet. I decide I will let her take her coat off since she's obviously sweating to death and plop in her lap and let her feed me. Just as I decide to calm down for a moment, Grandma comes into the kitchen. I have to let her know i'm unimpressed. I scream at her and give Mommy more of a hard time. I won't stand up, I won't sit down. I won't do anything and she better make it better because i'm unimpressed. Of course now, she tells me she has to leave for work. Who says this is ok??? Lucky for her, I see the stairs and I get side tracked. I later realize she has made an escape and i'm sure i'm unimpressed. Thank goodness I have grandma there to give me hugs and kisses. Mommy better bring Dora back to life before we drive back home tonight. Or else.

Grouchy Grrrrrr

I am a grouch. They might as well call me Oscar. I am not impressed with very much these days and I will let you know in a heartbeat. My tooth hurts me, I'm not sleeping well, Dora isn't on 24 hours a day, Mommy won't carry me 24 hours a day, I have to eat nasty Gerber glop, I have to wear a coat to go outside, I have to get out of the bath just as I'm enjoying soaking the entire bathroom with my spashes, I have to go to bed at 8pm, I have to wake up early, I am not allowed to climb up or down the stairs as much as I would like.... I could go on and on.. I do not get my way all the time and I am not pleased. But I'm so darn cute, I get my way most of the time.

Ornaments

I made my very own Christmas ornaments this year!

See? I'm super crafty.

Haircut # 2

Mommy has gone and done it again. She got scissor happy when Daddy wasn't around. She was giving me a bath while pouring water on my hair was just amazed at how long it had gotten... then she decided she could cut it, figuring how hard could it be to snip the back? Very hard. I made sure of it. I splashed and wiggled and Mommy chopped this way and that. Daddy walked in. BUSTED! Mommy tried to hide it by twirling the back of my hair up. But Daddy soon saw what she had done. He shook his head and scolded her. Mommy just laughed. She is a nut.

Luckily for her, it didn't turn out too bad once my hair dried up. And thankfully she didn't touch the front this time.

Weekend Photos

It was rainy and cold today. I really wasn't feeling my usual weekend photoshoot. Mommy took me to the grocery store and then we stopped by grandma's house for a quick visit. Here is a picture of me on the ride to the store. I'm wasn't feeling too smiley.

Here, I get into the fridge. A daily must for me. In this photo I am trying to steal chicken.

A Mess!

Me and my mess.
I made a nice little mess in the corner and laid up in it.

Mommy said just like a little piggie.. and especially with my belly hanging out.

Hee Hee Hee.

I Love Elmo!

I love Elmo and he loves me. Mommy told me, and Elmo did too.




Today Mommy gave me a brand new Elmo!!! Recently I started loving my other Elmo alot. He sings to me and talks to me and his eyes light up with little hearts in them too. So today, Mommy decided to give me one of my Christmas presents early. An even bigger Elmo!!!!! I used to not really be that into him.. but just recently I've decided he's a pretty cool monster.


Tonight, I am sleeping with my new big Elmo. Zebra got the boot.
