Santa Claus

Dad took a long lunch today and we went down to the mall. We waited in line for an hour. I was very patient and decided not to show off my walking skills but to crawl all over the mall floor and spin the wheels of not just my stroller, the other people's in line too!! Which is really fun when the kid is in the stroller too!! I tried to make some mad dashes out into the mall so Mom and Dad thought I would handle Santa pretty well. Man I am not sure about that guy...I wouldn't let go of Mom...so you'll see how we had to take the picture! Dad was by the camera trying to make me smile...It was a no go!

Walking Man!

Hey Guys! I am starting to get the hang of this walking thing, well I more run. It's taken me since right before my birthday, but I am doing much better. If I go slower I have good balance however, I have no time for that I am a speed demon! Dad took a little video of me this morning doing a little cruise, this first time he was able to catch it on video too! I walk all around downstairs I only crawl when I am pushing a toy that rolls. I am so proud of myself and giggle with delight. Boy it sure does tire me out and I let Mom and Dad know when I am ready for a nap to recharge me!

It's A....

Today we went to the OB to check up on baby #2. We had our 20 week ultrasound. I am 19 weeks and baby is measuring 19 weeks and 2 days. Can't be any more perfect!! Baby's heart, brain, kidneys, cord, stomach, bladder, facial structures etc. look great!! Baby is almost folded in half with his hands in his face and his feet over his head. :-) Aidan will be getting himself a little brother!! It's a Boy!! We are so very happy and excited to meet him. We're almost halfway there!! Please enjoy a few of the ultrasounds, our favorites are the 3D.

Great Grandparents Crase

My Great Grandparents Crase came down for a visit. We got to see them a good bit. Tonight, however was there last night here before driving back to Ohio. We went over to Grandma and Grandpa's for dinner. I got to play with my cousins. It was a lot of fun. My cousin Tabitha and I have a thing for dog water. She snuck away and had a hay day! There is a picture of the aftermath and the culprit is the naked baby. :-) My cousin Ansley was very nice to share her cereal with us babies. It was very tasty. We then all tried to take a picture with Great Grandma and Great Grandpa. You can see from the pictures that is a difficult feat. We all were very tired by the time we were done. It was so great to see them and I sure had a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy the slide show.

Brithday Bash Cont.

Here are two more pictures from my big party. Thank you to everyone who came!!

The Birthday Bash!

Today I had my Big Birthday Bash will all of my local family and a few friends. We ate Cincinnati Chili, birthday cake, cupcakes and ice cream. Mom made me a Rocket cake from my most favorite show The Little Einsteins. I really like the music they play and helping Rocket blast off. My house sure was loud for a few hours. I wasn't sure what to think when they sang "Happy Birthday!" to me. I enjoyed eating cake and playing with my toys. I wasn't to interested in opening the presents, but once they were unwrapped I liked them a lot! Here are some pictures from the party and I will post two more shortly.

My First Thanksgiving

Last year I missed Thanksgiving by 3 days!! Today Mom decorated my Rocket cake for my party tomorrow. She had a little trouble with the icing bags tearing and popping. Needless to say she did not make it to Nana and Grandpop's for a visit. She stayed home smearing red icing everywhere. Dad and I went for a visit with Nana, Grandpop and Uncle Phil. I pushed around the Lion walking toy most of the time. Dad says I scared poor Gracie a good bit too. She is still recovering from her crazy illnesses. I just kept her on her toes! When we got back home Mom was still working on the cake. Dad and I saw some fire engines on the way home and it turns out they were driving through our neighborhood going to a nearby dog kennel. We watched them drive around from our back yard. We saw quite a few fire trucks, rescue trucks, an ambulance and a few more fire related vehicles. They did not stay too long so everything must have been OK. Mom finally finished the cake and we had to go to Meme and Papa's for dinner. We got there an hour and the minutes late!! (And Mom still had cupcakes to ice when we got home.) We had beef tenderloin and the works for dinner. I ate on the go. I would take a few bites of food and go play with my cousins when hunger rose again I went back to Mom and Dad for more. I played with Tabitha and the others. Mostly though I pushed my Tonka truck around because Mom and Dad let me bring it!! All the kids really like it. Mom has made a very short slide show of just a few pictures. The first two are of my cake!! I can't wait to eat it tomorrow!!
