A Good Time!

These are my friends Julie and Mary Kate. I saw them in Chicago with the whole Daly family. Lots of pretty girls in that family!



Eats were good in Iowa, here I am having some home-grilled pizza and even though I didn't have a hot dog we got the music for the wiener and bologna songs and my cousins play them for me... I liked that a lot and tried to sing along. :-)



This is my cousin Alex chasing me around the house. Everyone, even Uncle Doug and Aunt Lynne chased me around the house... like they had a choice... I'm really fast now! You should see me in heels!



Geese on the Mississippi river and the nice lady that let me sit on her lap and fed me cran-raisins on the flight home. I'm showing her the sound the airplane makes.

There are lots more pictures and memories of my first visit to Iowa. I saw my cousin Amanda perform in show choir and kept trying to get on stage with her. I had a road trip with Julie, went to the park, shopped, played, stayed up late and slept really well. I fell asleep reading books with Alex , Amanda and Auntie Lynne... they are just so cozy.

Let's talk about (Daddy's) shoes!

For a long time now, actually since I could walk, I've had this thing for shoes. The "thing" is usually just carrying shoes around... the bigger the better. Dad's shoes, Mama's big boots. I carry them by their strings or two at a time.



Now I'm changing it up and wearing the shoes, size is not an issue... see for yourself.

Hanging out with some of my peeps

This year we got a lot of holiday cards with pictures so Terri gave us the great idea to laminate them and use it as a placemat. It's really cool because it let's me see the people far and wide who I love and love me back. I know a lot more than the video shows but my Mom can't always get everything on film :-). If you want to be on next year's placemat send us a holiday card with a picture!

Fat Tuesday!

Grab your beads and let's GO!!!

Talkin' with my hands

These are most of the words I know in baby sign language, it helps me get what I want without a lot of frustration... most of the time. I'm also saying new words everyday, now I can say and sign "more." Mama and Dada are so proud of me even though I'm a little hurricane... see the mess behind me :-).

My first photograph

I took this at the Farmer's Market on Thursday night. It's called "from far away." I have interest from several galleries. Let me know if you'd like me to reserve a signed print for anyone.

Is it February already?

Holy smokes how did it get to be February already? We've been busy I guess. Mom worked a lot over the past few days during the GRAMMYs and left me with my Dada every night. We had a good time, got to skip a couple baths and hang out in my jammies... YAY! Then Auntie E came and hung out and I got to stay up late! I like the GRAMMYs. I even got this swag bag.... what's swag?



Then my cousin Cory came to visit tonight. I like him a LOT. Here we are looking at cool pictures on his phone (Dada never let's me play with his phone) and hanging out at the Farmer's Market... like the shades? I hope he stays here in CA!
