Potty

Santa brought me a potty chair for Christmas. I LOVE sitting on it while reading, or playing with Mommy's iPhone. No potty success yet though.

Snow Baby

We woke up this morning with snow on the ground!  Mommy took me out to play in it.

Snow baby : )

Check out my cute polka dot hat from Great Grandma Sharon.

Swinging in the snow.

I got to wear my little pink camo snow boots for the first time. 

Santa!

I got to meet Santa Claus this weekend. I was a very good girl and wasn't scared of him at all!

Failed Christmas Pictures 2nd Edition

Mommy has been trying unsuccessfully to get a good Christmas picture of me this year. The same thing happened last year.  Either I am crying, not looking at the camera, walking away, talking on the phone, or my eyes are closed.

Very unhappy Santa baby : (

I don't want my picture taken!

Enough Mom!!!

Get that camera out of my face!!!!!!!

Even Santa can't make me smile.

Are we done yet?

Talking

Talking on the phone.

Too busy texting.

Eyes closed.

Getting a little closer.

Here are a few more pictures of me from my recent trip to North Carolina.

Being cute in the rental car.

Checking out the fishes.

I colored it all by myself!  Just kidding.

Packers fans with a Bear.

And just a couple more pictures from Thanksgiving.  It was our first Thanksgiving in our new house and Mommy made her first turkey.  Everything turned out great, and the Packers won!

Ducky baby!  Good thing we didn't eat duck for Thanksgiving : )

Does this costume make my butt look big?

Watching Packers on Thanksgiving Day.

Sweet Packer girl.

Walking

I am finally walking!  I haven't had a chance to write a blog post in a while because I have been SO busy walking.  I have been keeping Mommy and Daddy pretty busy too.  Check out this quick video of me walking in my Santa dress.

Going Down Stairs

For a while now, I have been climbing the stairs in our new house, no problem.  I recently learned how to go down the stairs all by myself (with a watchfully Mommy nearby).  Here is a video of me tentatively going down the stairs.

I am also finally taking steps on my own, but Mommy and Daddy have yet to get it on video.  Hopefully a video of me walking will be up soon!

Uh-Oh

I just learned how to say uh-oh this morning while eating breakfast! 

Happy Halloween!

I am a cute little sock monkey for Halloween this year.  I got to go trick or treating for the first time, because I was too small to go last year.  Here I am, all ready to go out.

 Mommy put mittens on me so that I couldn't take my hat off 

(and to keep my hands warm, of course)

 Check out my cool pumpkin bag.

 Ready to hit the neighborhood with Mommy.

I want some of my candy!

 Can I please have some M&Ms Mom?

 Candy, candy, candy! Or is it a Q-tip?

 Or a telephone?

 Waiting for trick or treaters.

 Ready to hand out candy.

Double sock monkeys.

Angry sock monkey.

Autumn

I have had a pretty good Autumn so far.  Daddy has been busy cleaning up leaves, Mommy has been busy cooking in the kitchen, and we have all been busy watching the Brewers!  I even got to use my new sidewalk chalk that I got for my birthday.  Check it out:

 Chalkin' in up.

 

 I may look like a boy in Brewers gear, 

but I make a pretty boy!

 He has such long eyelashes : )

 Chalking with Daddy.

 I already love to draw with chalk, crayons, and pens.

I have really been enjoying living near Madison this Autumn.  I got to go down to the Union with Daddy one afternoon, and I have been to the Vilas Zoo three times!

 Goofing around at the Union.

Sitting in a Union chair.

 Bundled up at the zoo.

 Little Bear, Big Bear. Who's cuter?

 I didn't want to be carried or put in my stroller at the zoo, 

so Auntie Kelly & Great Grandma helped me walk.

 This is our giant Ash tree.  It was BEAUTIFUL last week, 

and now it is empty.  Lots of work for Daddy!

 But before Daddy (and Grandpa) could clean up all of the leaves, 

I had to play in them a little bit.
