Mirly Christmas

We celebrated with my mom's side of the family on Saturday. It was crazy and hectic but a lot of fun.

I love Mickey Mouse!

My cousin Seth was more interested in playing with the trash.

Christmas morning

Well I made it on Santa's nice list this year, because Christmas morning there was definitely gifts under the tree. He brought me some cool stuff but the best was probably an electronic keyboard. I love to "bang" around on my toys and especially the ones that play music. So this was pretty cool! The keys even light up which makes it even more appealing to me to want to "hit" the keys.

YEAH PJ'S

Some movies.Apparently I have another present coming, which will help me watch these movies up close (my own portable dvd player).

Oh my goodness. I think this one may eat me, it's so big.

I'm very excited about this one.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

My new obsession

So I found a new obsession and it is my mom and dads laptop computer. I don't know what it is about that thing but if I am sitting next to mom or dad and they are using it, I want to play along. I am almost mesmerized by it. I will reach and reach for it even to the point where I sometimes fall over or if I am in my seat, I fall out.

Here is me begging dad to play.
He said no, so I decided to grab it and was trying to pull it towards me.
Dad, PLEASE let me play.
Can you see me grabbing his arm, I was trying to pry it away from him.

He finally let me play a little bit and I got to make a pretty picture with a little help from dad. He held the button of the mouse down and then I moved it around to make all the colorful lines. It's a masterpiece.

Here some more pictures of me playing.

School Christmas Party

Last week, I had my Christmas party at school. We got to decorate a tree, sing Christmas carols, eat snacks and open gifts. It was a lot of fun.

Playing my maraca and singing Jingle Bells.

Shake, Shake, Shake

My stocking I made.

Opening my gift from my teacher. She gave us all a book.

Now the best part is, I get 2 weeks off from school. Hip, hip hooray!!!

Fear

So recently, I have become very fearful of dogs. Nothing has dramatically happened, to make me fearful of dogs. I guess I have just decided that I really do not like them. There was a time in my life that I did not mind dogs. My grandma and grandpa have several dogs and I have never been afraid of them. Also, my Aunt Jen has a dog (black lab) and I used to be okay with her dog (at least when she was a puppy), but now she is full grown and somewhat hyper. So the last time we visited her in September I totally freaked out when I saw the dog (Daisy). Daisy was very hyper and just wanted to meet me and for me to pet her. But she was so excited that it scared me.

Before being fearful

This was Daisy as a puppy.

So mom and dad thought maybe it was just Daisy that I was afraid of, but they were wrong. My grandma Vicki just got a little puppy. And when I say little, I mean little. This dog is not much bigger than a cat. So mom and dad figured since it is much smaller than Daisy, I would like it. Well they were wrong, I didn't even want it in the same room as me. Even through my fear and distress of being close to the dog, mom decided to take some pictures instead of consoling me.

Keeping a close eye on her.

I have had enough of this dog thing.

Maybe this fear is something that I can overcome but not right now.

Tis the season

Our house is finally looking like Christmas. It is not quite done. We have the inside done but not the outside.

Another first

So today we did some Christmas shopping. Mom, dad and I went to Target and I usually sit in one of the shopping carts that have the baby seat in them. Well we get there and they were all being occupied and we took dad's truck so we couldn't go back to the car and get the stroller. Which is usually our back-up in cases like this. So it was either carry me all around the store and mom and dad taking turns carrying me (because I get heavy pretty quick) or sit in a shopping cart like "typical" kids do. So we tried me sitting in the cart like a big boy AND IT WORKED. I had a big puffy coat on that helped and the back of the cart was a little higher than some carts. I felt like a big boy!

Nothing new

So everything has been going well around here. Mom is trying to get ready for the holidays but it's also been kind of hectic. We still have pumpkins sitting out on our front porch. She hopes to get the fall decorations down and the Christmas decorations up this weekend, so stay tuned for that. I can't wait, I love Christmas lights.
