What a Christmas!!

It was a great holiday season. We went down to South Carolina for five days before Christmas, celebrated down there, flew back Christmas eve, and had a great Christmas at home. It was a lot of fun down in South Carolina, and I received a lot of great gifts. Christmas morning was a whirlwind- so many great gifts. Every time I turned around, there was another gift to open.

 A new kitchen for me-

In the afternoon we got together with extended family for a Christmas dinner that was excellent. Great job cooking Becca. It was so much fun to play with my second cousins. I had a blast with Patrick and Piper.

 Happy New Year everyone!!

Breakfast with Santa

I saw Santa yesterday!!! My Great-aunt Marty invited us to her church for breakfast with Santa. Piper, Becca, and James were there too. I loved eating the pancakes and the Dunkin Donuts munchkins, and then I was very excited to see Santa. I was intrigued at this big man sitting in a bright red suit, especially when he was waving at me, but I was not to sure about him up close. I sat in his lap for the picture, and then I was gone. Piper and I had fun playing outside afterwards.

Some recent pics including from Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving with Paul and Margaret. They cooked some great food and it was a lot of fun spending time with them.

Mommy made me this shirt. She's getting good with her sewing machine.

Mommy took me to her favorite restaurant. The grilled nuggets are the best.

We celebrated Thanksgiving at school today

It was Thanksgiving at lunch time today so we had a feast- turkey, green beans, cranberry sauce, stuffing, bread, and assorted fruits. Best of all, parents were invited, so daddy joined me for lunch. I loved the green beans and cranberry sauce, and the turkey wasn't to bad either. I'm looking forward to doing it all over again next Thursday.

Daddy was able to hang out in my class for awhile after lunch, so it was fun playing with the toys with him. 

18 Month Check-up

I had my 18 month check-up today. I can't wait until the day I'm done with shots!! Not fun. Like the last visit, Dr. Gallagher said I'm doing great. I've had a growth spurt in the last three months, and I'm now 31 1/2 inches tall (50th percentile). My weight is 27 pounds 7 1/2 ounces (85th percentile). I'm a solid little girl!

Mommy and Daddy's 1st Parent-Teacher Conference

Last week mommy and daddy had their first parent-teacher conference. My main teacher Ms. Sylvia had lots of nice things to say about me. She said developmentally, I'm right where I should be for my age. She also said that I'm an absolute joy to be around and all the teachers and staff love me. Mommy started to get teary eyed. Ms. Valerie, Ms. Sylvia, and Ms. Kelly-Anne do a great job and mommy and daddy are so thankful that I'm in the classroom that I'm in.

Ms. Kelly-Anne put my hair in pigtails one day last week, and mommy loved it!-
