Playroom!

Mom and Dad took the Christmas tree down the other day. And then they started to move everything around and the next thing I knew, I had a new Playroom!

I helped Dad lay the floor tiles out.

And then we played and played and played.

I can roll around and crawl and throw my toys and I don’t have to worry about hitting my head on anything or pulling anything over. It also means I can’t chew with Bug’s toys, but that’s okay. I think I have enough of my own. And there are plenty of his toys upstairs when I play there 🙂

Children’s Museum with the Cousins

I went to the Children’s Museum the other day with my four cousins from Wisconsin. It was a lot of fun. We spent a lot of time in the Habitot area where I could crawl around. My cousin Sean showed me around and helped me play with the big white ice castle bricks.

Then I went crawling through the caves, where cousin Charlie found me and gave me a really sweet hug.

And cousin Erika had me laughing at myself in the mirror. Cousin Allison was very busy running around playing, I never had a chance to get a photo with her.

We also saw the Dinosaur exhibit. One tried to eat me but I wasn’t scared. I knew my cousins would protect me.

Happy New Year Everyone!

My 9 Month Stats

I went to see Dr. Miller again, but this time I wasn’t sick! It was just my 9-month check-up. It was pretty swell. I got weighed and measured and tickled and listened to. And there was only one shot and it was quick. Here are my digits:

Weight: 19 lbs, 8.5 oz

Height: 28 3/8 inches

Head: 17 3/8 inches

Dr. Miller says I’m “Perfectly Proportioned.” I just think I’m “Perfect”

I Met Santa

Mom and Dad, along with Grandma and Grandpa Nibs, brought me downtown to see the Macy’s 8th floor exhibit.

I loved it. I loved the shiny lights and the moving characters and the dogs! Mom read the story to me as we went through. It was really cool. And then, at the end, Santa was waiting for me! We went bright and early in the morning so there was no line and I got to see Santa right away.

At first I was scared and crabby, but then I started laughing. Even Santa thought I smiled a lot, and said something like, “Wow, he sure is smiley!” We didn’t try to correct him.

Mom will post the real Santa photo soon, so stay tuned! (And she asked that I tell you that she had the wrong settings on her camera, which explains the fuzzy shots. She fixed it halfway through the exhibit. Oops.)

Finally Getting Better

I’ve been a little sick these last few days. I’m starting to feel better, and sound better, but I still have a wicked cough (you should hear it!). Anyway – last week I stayed home with Mom the day after it snowed. We stayed in our PJs most of the day. It was super fun.
