Happy 1 Month to Pete!

Peter has survived one month with me running all around, bumping into him, trying to feed him my food, poking him in the eyes, and kissing him like crazy. Good job Pete- if you have made it this far, I think you are in the clear. Maybe....!

The Holidays are Here!

Last weekend we went to Aunt Linda's house to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas with Grandma's side of the family. It was so much fun to play with my cousins and my second cousins who are toddlers just like me. I would like to say I enjoyed opening presents, but Mom and Dad put me down for a nap at that time because I was in a grumpy mood. It is hard to go a full day and stay happy, I don't know how you guys do it!

Pete got a stuffed Ernie for a present. He was so excited, it put him to sleep!

I don't know what it is about hats, but they make me want to run around the living room and kitchen.

Putting a hat on Pete does not have the same effect though.

Dad's cousin Shannon and her husband Jason came over last week to meet Pete. They even brought me a Christmas present- crayons for the bathtub!

We have enough snow to go sledding now. It is a lot of fun, until my mittens fall off or Dad lets me go down the hill by myself and I get white-washed. Thanks a lot Dad. Keep in mind that I am only one and a half years old!

Happy Thanksgiving a Week Late!

We celebrated Thanksgiving in a couple different places. On Thanksgiving day, we went to my great grandparent's house and had a totally awesome, delicious feast. Great Grandma is such a good cook! Shelly took me for a chair ride to top the evening off.

Then on Saturday, we celebrated with Daddy's family at Grandpa Gerard's house. It was so much fun with everyone there. The meal was super good too, although I was too distracted by all the fun things to do to eat much.

Our friend Buffalo came from New York to visit and meet Pete. He came to visit me when I was about Pete's age too!

Yeeeeha!

My pretty cousins, Hannah and Emma.

Pretty little Audrey and Pete pretty much slept the whole time. They will be a lot more fun in a year.

The little babies hanging out together.

Who's got the bigger foot?

P.S. Happy Birthday to Daddy!

Cute Little Boys

A couple more cute pics for you to feast your eyes on!

Going so fast, I am blurry!

New Toys for Me!

Well I have identified Mom's vulnerable times, when she is feeding Pete and can't do much to stop me from getting into mischief. I thought during this downtime, why not try Peter's toys out!

What??? Isn't this thing built for a 30 pound boy?

Hehe!! If I act cute, maybe Mom won't scold me!

This makes a much better 'tent' than a boring activity center for Pete. I think Mom should reconsider it's use.

Good neck strength Pete! Only 3 weeks old! Maybe you will crawl really early so you can start playing with me!

Peter is showing off his milk tongue. Yuck!

What better toy is there than an empty diaper box??

Visiting the Fam

Last weekend we visited the grandparents. My cousins came over to Grandpa's house to meet Peter and play with me too. These are all my cousins here.

Here is Grandpa and Grandma with all their grandkids!

Me and Auntie Linda.

Me and Auntie Shelly.

Here Pete is meeting Aunt Shelly for the first time.
