Playing in the snow

It has been so cold and snowy here! I watched the fluffy snow fall all day. Then after my nap we went to Meijer's to get me a sled! It's just right for someone my size. Mom bundled me up in all my snow gear and we went running through the drifts. I yelled and squealed. I even liked the puffs of snow that blew in my face! We couldn't stay out for a very long time, though. It's just too cold. My nose and cheeks was red and my lips were blue. I didn't want to go in, but Mom made me. We had lots of snow to shake off in the garage. I want to make a snow man but the snow is to cold and fluffy to shape. Dad couldn't even throw a snowball at Mom. I know he wanted to! Mom put a bunch of pictures on Flickr so you can see what a great time I had.
After all that fun it was time for a big dinner. When Dad wasn't watching I got one of my arms out of my shirt. Who needs clothes?
Now I'm playing couch monster with Daddy and waiting for Mom to get my bath started. A warm bath will be just right after a long day. I'll use up all my energy swimming and then I'll snuggle into bed. What a fun day!

Silly hat girl

See my silly hat? I got new shoes today. The box was just the right size for my head! I ran around the house laughing. I like the shoes too.
Daddy had the day off today so I got to play with him! We have lots of fun playing and reading. I like chasing balls that Dad throws and reading to Mom and Dad. I don't think they understand all my words but they seem to enjoy my stories. I impressed Daddy by getting my clean diaper when Mom asked me too. I listen very well! I was quite stinky so I knew what I needed.
After we were all up and fed and dressed we went to the mall. I got my new Sunday shoes and rode around in my stroller saying hi to people. I wore myself out and took a good sleep in the afternoon.
When I woke up I was ready to rip! I played hard. We played couch monster and box head. I chased Ozzy and threw my toys all over. Finally I was so sleepy I was rubbing my eyes and hugging my sleepytime blanket. Mom took me up to snuggle but I was too playful for her to be quiet. She has to laugh when I smile, say Mama and give her kisses. Daddy came up for some serious bedtime routine. Now I'm sleeping with my warm blankets and letting the snow fall.

Happy Saturday!

I had such a fun Saturday. Mom and Dad were home and played with me all day long! I woke up right on time at 7:00. Daddy got me up and fed me a huge breakfast. We let Mom sleep in a little. We all took it pretty easy in the morning and just watched the snow fall. It is very, very cold here! I couldn't go outside to play so Dad read me all my books. See me perched on him? It's the most comfortable seat in the house.
After my yummy lunch I took a big long nap. Mom and Dad cleaned the house and put away all the Christmas stuff. The tree was gone when I woke up! I was confused. Did Daddy chop it down? But that gave me lots more room to run and throw my balls.
At night we went out for dinner at Culver's. I ate whole fries! I didn't want the chopped up ones Mom was feeding me. I ate my applesauce and tried to drink out of a grown up cup. I only spilled a little bit.
When we got home, it was bath time! I love my bath. I splash and swim and squeal. I have bath toys that I drive around in the waves. I like when I get out and Mom cuddles me in a warm blanket and puts my nice lotion on. She combs my hair and brushes my teeth and puts my snuggly pjs on. I ran around for a while after that, but now I'm in my crib snoozing. Good night! We'll see how much snow there is in the morning!

Ha Ha! Two posts in a row!

Two days of posts in a row! That means I'm being a good napper. I need my sleep because I need my energy to run around the rest of the day. See how I get myself up on the chair to look out at the snow? It got very cold here last night. I wanted to see out, so I dragged the chair to the window and climbed up. When I look out this window I can see the birds at the feeder and wave at them. Don't worry, Mom was watching me close so I wouldn't fall.
I got up very early this morning so I cuddled in bed with Mom for a little while. Then Ozzy jumped up by me and I pounced on him. He didn't seem to mind. I was wide awake then so we went to get the day started. I played hard and ate a huge lunch. It must have settled me down because I needed to snooze after that.
Today I've read most of my books to Mom and played with my doll. I like to hug her. After Mom changed my diaper I put a diaper on the doll. I'll be an expert when Baby Suzy shows up! I like to do whatever Mom does. She wouldn't let me help load the dishwasher, though. I like to grab for knives!
Mom hears squeaking! No more nap for me! Let's play!

I'm back! I've been so busy!


I'm back to my blog! I've been so busy going to parties and flying on planes and wearing Mommy out with all my inquisitiveness. Mom is going to try to add my stories during my nap because she just can't be creative at night. You see, I am going to be a big sister in the summer and "Baby Suzy" is making Mommy grumpy at night. I'm learning to call myself the"big girl".
I'm learning all kinds of words! I say birdie, kitty, doggie, potato, milk, yummy, belly, fish, Mommy and Daddy. I have lots of babble words that Mom and Dad don't quite understand yet. I imitate the words they say to me. I laugh a lot and like to be silly!
I just finished my lunch of macaroni and cheese. I like it! I said yum, yum, YUMMY!! when Mom got out the box. I like homemade pasta too. I've tried all kinds of new foods in the last month. I have 11 teeth now so I can munch a much wider variety of treats. I got lots of "num num" over Christmas! I got lots of fun presents and I got to go to all kinds of parties. I wore my pretty Christmas dress to church. I flew on an airplane to visit Grandma and Grandpa in NJ!
Today I am taking a good nap and when I wake up Mom and I are going to go grocery shopping. Mom will take me to see the parakeets! There is a picture of a parakeet in my big word book and I like to point at it. Then we'll come home and watch the snow fall. I need to get a sled so Daddy can take me to Van Raalte Hill to slide!
