Sunday Party Day

Today we got to go to cousin Nicks house for a party! I made sure we were all late by waking up late.. thus napping late..then giving Mommy a hard time with my napping, then giving her more of a hard time by not cooperating while eating my lunch and getting dressed. We all finally made it out the door an hour after the party started. Good thing we weren't the last people to arrive though. Mommy was stressing about that. When we got there, Nick's grandma had lots of good food out... but as usual, I wasn't going to let Mommy have any. Not just yet. She suffered with a drooling mouth, watching everyone eat while carrying me. Somehow she escaped me at some point and I later found her in the dining room scarfing down all the food. What a hog. Nick has lots of cool toys and lots of cool trains. I hope to acquire just as many toys one day.... I'm well on my way. Nick's Mommy's best friend Miss Katie was there and her daughter Tabitha and her friend Jessica are in love with Carter. They chased him all over the place and tried to take pictures of him all night long. I got a cool Dora pop up tent from Nick, a very cool froggy that ribbits, and lots and lots of books!! Oh and an Elmo guitar!!! I can't wait to play in my new Dora tent. Mommy said she'll set it up for me tomorrow.

This is Nick.

I can't get enough of these bubbles!

Na-Na and other Chatter

Hey Zach, guess what? I have joined in on the banana talk! Today I decided to say it for myself.... I am not quite as good as you yet in that I don't get the BO part out.. but I do say na-na. Heh heh...pretty cool huh?

I also said Carter's name several times this morning when I went to wake him up. I also am saying No No Nooo, in addition to Oww when I get an ouchie..even if its not so bad - I like to milk it. I say Thank You when I am given something... though I also say it when I give something to someone...comes out sounding like Ann Oooh. I also now say Nigh Nigh when its night night time and lastly, I have taken on a few Spanish words courtesy of my girlfriend Dora. I say Azul, which means blue.. but its sounding more like A-ooo. And Arriba!

Thats all for now. Nothing too spectacular.. but I'm thinking a few of these words will get me what I want.

It's Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Today I woke up nice and early. I was the first person up! Woke Mommy and we watched Dora for awhile then we went and woke Daddy up too. Daddy cooked up some breakfast for us all and I made it my job to go wake Carter. Plus that meant I could climb the stairs. I said his name many many times before he finally woke up. After we ate some breakfast, we opened up our stockings. I got some cool cars! Carter got a heap of toys, Mommy got a book of ghost stories and a KISS cd, and Daddy got a bunch of candy and a car too! After stockings, I had to take a nap. Later in the afternoon, Ba Ngoai came over and we opened our presents. I got a dinasour that roars, two Dora DVDs, money from Ba Ngoai for my college fund, a book from Carter, a stuffed animal, a shirt, and a couple other toys. OH and of course the things I opened long before Christmas - my kitchen, my activity block and my Elmo. Mommy got a new toaster over from Ba Ngoai but I went and sat on the box and dented the top of it. So tomorrow we are going to see if we can exchange it for another one. Daddy gave Mommy a new alarm clock/cd player and Mommy gave Daddy every episode of The Justice League on DVD. Ba Ngoai gave Daddy a cool new coffee maker. He's really been wanting one!! Carter got so many cool toys. I tried to steal them from him but he got grumpy at me. I can't wait til I'm older and can play with super cool toys like his! Dinner was great. Daddy burnt the biscuits though - he wasn't very happy about that. After dinner, everyone watched The 36 Chambers of Shaolin while Carter and I horsed around. Christmas is pretty cool! I think my most favorite present was the Dora DVDs.. I am going to watch them every single day!

Here I try and hog one of the big presents.

Burnt biscuits

And no day or party would be complete without one of my outbursts! hee.

Bubbles!

I LOVE bubbles!! I have never seen anything cooler in my life. Mommy bought me some this weekend and yesterday I got to play with them for the very first time. I couldn't stop laughing! They are so amazing! I kept trying to catch them but they kept popping. Mommy didn't get pictures of my first time because she had bubble soap all over her hands..and if she got it on Daddy's camera..she'd have hell to pay. Later, when he got home she asked him to take pictures.. I didn't laugh as much as I did the first time but its because I had to share my precious bubbles with Carter AND the kitties.. pffft. But they were still fun nonetheless!

Waiting for Santa

Here I am by the tree..waiting for Christmas to hurry and get here... snacking on some puffs, wearing my skeleton leg things that Daddy hates, and watching Dora (of course). As you can see, I require not one, but two sippy cups. One has water, the other juice. I like some variety. In the background...the step stool that once belonged in the kitchen.. but I have since stolen and made mine. Next to me is my cool new table that I got from Nick. I love this table! I usually eat my snacks out of the bowl in the center but today Mommy stuck my puffs in a batman bowl for me.
