Opa's Birthday

We went to the farm to help Opa celebrate his birthday. I loved hanging out in the barn, and kept wanting to go back in. Daddy showed me all kinds of fun things.

We brought my sled and I went down a little hill by the barn... my first time sledding! Here is a picture of me whizzing by!

2nd Birthday

Opening my new alarm clock and iPod player from Aunt Margie! I liked playing with the buttons.
Holding up my new dress to show Aunt Kim how pretty it will look on me.

Mommy and Daddy had a cake at my birthday party, but Mommy couldn't stand not having a little treat with candles on my actual birthday. We split a donut three ways so she had something to put candles in.

Playing with my new pots from the Stewarts while resting my cute little bum on my new bunny 'pillow pal' from Grammie and Grampie.

Mommy and Daddy got me an easel!

My first chalk work of art.

Birthday Party - I'm Two!

I think I'll start this party off with a little performance.
I snuck into the kitchen and got caught red-handed with my finger in the icing!

Blowing out the candles, while Mommy assured Uncle Darren that he could have a piece from the opposite side of the cake.

Jeremy and I stuffing our faces with cake.

I LOVE balloons!

We kept people busy getting our balloons that floated to the ceiling.

Ducks

Mommy and Daddy cleaned the freezer out over the holidays, and found bags of just a few pieces of bread. Off we went to the park to feed the ducks!

I'm bossing the ducks around!

Two pics...

After being obsessed with hair elastics, clips and barrettes for the past month, I had the bright idea last night to actually put some in my hair. I made Mommy put all the barrettes I could find in! I found Mommy's boots in the front closet!

Dentist

I had my second dentist appointment over the Christmas holidays, my first one being after my fall that pushed my front tooth upward. I was an amazing girl, completely surprising and impressing Mommy and Daddy. The hygenist had cartoons up on the tv for me, because they knew I am a little girl.
This will go much more smoothly once I remove my socks.
The hygenist checked all my teeth and polished every one.

Ruth is teaching me how to brush my teeth.

Dr. Gelfand was happy to pose for a picture!

Waiting for Daddy, holding my new tooth brush (with a suction cup on the bottom) and toy from the treasure chest.

I love bling!

Christmas Visits to the Farm

We managed a quick visit on Dec. 22 to say hi to Uncle Mark, Aunt Arwa, Alya and Nora, and get a Baumgartner family picture. Photo credit goes to Uncle Richard and Aunt Peggy!

Cousin Paige is showing me Omi's tricks. There are candy canes and stockings of chocolate all over the tree!

Christmas Day - thank you for my dress, Grampie!

No visit to the farm would be complete without a roll on the sheepskin rug.

Boxing Day Play

My first hot chocolate ever! I'm now addicted, and ask for it all the time.

Enough snow for sledding...

Well, we didn't have snow for Christmas, and everything is melted now, but we had a couple of days with the white stuff. Mommy and Daddy were sure to get me out in my sled for some winter walking.

Christmas Morning

Seeing all the presents that Santa left for the first time.

Helping Cali open a present.

My new shopping cart! It has a place for Jenny AND my new baby doll (which has yet to be named).

The living room mid-morning...

Basking in the sun with my sister.

My new laptop, which Mommy and Daddy have since customized with emails from them and songs I like.

I'm obsessed with elastics, so these were a hit!
