the Barber

I got my first haircut the week before my birthday. Mama was sick and tired of my bangs in my eyes but Daddy didn't want to cut the curls off the back. so they compromised and Daddy trimmed up front and on the sides. Nana supervised and Mama took pictures. I did pretty good - didn't start crying till the end because they were making me sit SO still for SO long. now i'm pretty stylin'

what NOT to wear

THIS is what happens when Daddy is in charge of dressing me in the morning. seriously, my Halloween shirt with my Badger pants. hopefully he won't be allowed to pick out my clothes once i start dating! In this picture i'm reading a book - upside down and back-to-front. I must be gifted.

Little Cooker

I'm helping Mama make dinner. i think we're going to have green chilis and i'll stir them up with two spoons. seriously - there's a lot of fun stuff in these kitchen cupboards! one of them is FULL of tupperware, a big one is ALL booze (they lock that one up), and another is different sizes of cans, boxes, and glass jars. I'm told those are the "canned goods". one of my favorite things to do is to take each canned good out of the cupboard one at a time and put it on the floor. then when i'm board with it, i move on to a different cupboard. hours of fun!

PlayLand

This is my new friend Ellie. We met at the McDonald's Playland. What a crazy place! food all over the floor, screaming kids everywhere - it was great! Ellie and her brother Caleb were visiting with their mom. It was nice to finally meet them all.

Mama

My Mama doesn't HATE me, but she does like to torture me sometimes (see Daddy's post below). like with this halloween costume - i'm supposed to be a duck but i don't think i look anything like auntie duckie. Mama says she got the costume cheap and that it would keep me warm while we were out getting candy. she was right. Mama is ALWAYS right.

Sweet Boy

My shirt says "Mummy says I'm sweeter than this candy". but my mama doesn't really say that. sometimes she calls me a monster - like on the plane ride back from our family visit the other weekend. it was nap time and i was definitely tired but i wasn't about to let a learning opportunity pass me by! i played with all the toys my parents brought, the stuff in the seat back in front of me, the back of Daddy's seat, the window, the head rest of the seat in front of us, and anything i could get my hands on. Mama kept asking if i had ants in my pants. of course i didn't! i'd probably be crying if that was the case. instead i was flirting with the lady two row behind.....

Austin

This is my cousin Austin. he came to visit during a big snow storm. we played with balls, went for walks, and trick-or-treated together. he collected quite the stash but i didn't get anything. what was the point if THEY wouldn't let me eat it anyway!
