The Stockings Were Hung

My Great Grandmother VZ used to make the Christmas stockings for the family but my Grandma VZ has taken over the task. My stocking arrived from Kansas just in the nick of time and even includes two silhouettes of Mickey and Bubbles at the bottom. I can't wait to see what Santa puts in it!

Tier-ful Goodbye

Aunt Laura made a cute diaper cake for my Mom's baby shower this summer. We finally made it to the last tier this week.

Then Comes Baby in the Baby Carriage

I went for a nice stroll today. It is always great to get outside when the weather cooperates.

Faux Festive Foto

Mom and Dad attempted to stage the photo for our Christmas card this year. I tried my best to cooperate but let's face it, candid photos are much better.

Brunch with Friends

I met up with Auntie and Uncle Cohasset for brunch today. They were at the party last night, but tuckered out and left even before I did.
(Dec. 16, 2012)

Holiday Cheer

As I continue on the Christmas party circuit, I got to see Uncle Cecil today. I haven't seen him in a few weeks so it was great to catch up. 
(Dec. 15, 2012)

Party Prep

I have another holiday party tonight so I wanted to get in a few Zzzs before we left. All these Christmas parties sure do wear me out. 
(Dec. 14, 2012)

Riding on the Metro

I took my first metro ride today to Dad's Christmas party downtown. I am going to be an old hand at public transportation when I am older.

O Christmas Tree

We got our Christmas tree during the Thanksgiving weekend, but were finally able to get it decorated today. I think it looks lovely.

To the Point

We went to Costco today, and I helped Mom pick out this lovely pointsetta. I love getting into the Christmas spirit.

Santa Baby

I met Santa Claus today. He already knew that this year I have been very nice.
(Dec. 8, 2012)

Breakout

Part of being a baby means that I am prone to get acne flareups. The good thing is that it usually goes away in just a few hours.
(Dec. 7, 2012)

Capitol Hill

This shirt is another great steal from Cousin Helen. She got it from Auntie Erika a few years ago when she visited DC. 
(Dec. 6, 2012)

The Real GG of DC

Whenever I wear my purple tracksuit, Dad says I look like a Jersey housewife. I think I look rather cute.
(Dec. 5, 2012)

Hail to Old KU

Cousin Helen sent me a whole box of her clothes and this fantastic outfit was in there. I can't wait to wear it as I cheer on the Jayhawks. Rock Chalk!

At today's check up I am almost at the 10 lb. mark. It is safe to say that my input and output are amazing.

Sitting Duck

Auntie Brynn gave me these great pajamas. They are warm and fun to wear.

It is a good thing Mom and Dad love Costco because I have only been around a month and have already gone through an entire box of 900 wipes.
(Nov. 30, 2012)

Monkeying Around

My Monkey Bounce is a great place to watch Mom and Dad clean up the kitchen. Before you know it, I will be in charge of cleaning out the dishwasher.
(Nov. 29, 2012)

The Rings

I spend a few minutes each day in my activity center practicing the rings. In a few more tries they will be mine.

Wearing My Heart on My Sleeve

Every time I turn around Mom has a camera in my face. I know I am going to love these photos when I am a teenager.

Squeaky Clean

I got a bath first thing this morning to start my day off right.
(Nov. 26, 2012)

Da Bears

Since Dad is from Chicago, he is a huge Bears fan. Too bad their record during my lifetime isn't so hot.

Bedtime Burrito

Nothing like getting all swaddled up for bedtime. I haven't even made it to bed, and I am already fast asleep.

Gimme a G!

I have several baskets of toys for Cousin Helen to play with while she is visiting. Well, actually, they are her old toys. But we decided to open up these magnetic letters so she can start teaching me the alphabet.
(Nov. 21, 2012)

Great, Great Nieces


I took Cousin Helen to see Uncle Edwin today. This was my second trip to Virginia Beach in a week. Not bad considering I am less than three weeks old.

(Nov. 19, 2012)

Binkie Bandit



Cousin Helen and I have a lot in common. Including our love of binkies. Now if I could just stop her from taking mine.
(Nov. 18, 2012)

Helen of Wichita


I just met my cousin, Helen of Wichita, for the first time. Too bad we were both fast asleep.
