What a great holiday! We went to Christmas services at our church, lots of our relatives were in town and we got to open toys, toys and more toys!
I had lots of pretty "Baby's First Christmas" clothes to wear. Guess I'll have to hand them down to somebody else. Oh, guess what? I have a brand-new 2nd cousin! McKinley Gail was born on December 21 in Memphis! I can't wait to see her and give her some tips on growing up!
Boy, I've never seen so many camera flashes as I did this weekend! Seems everybody wanted to take MY picture! I've posted some of them below. Granddaddy says one of his favorite gifts is a picture of a child's hands folded in prayer and it says, "And thank You for my Grandpa." But, he says it made him cry when he saw it! Does he like it or not?!? Mom and Dad also gave them grandparent sweatshirts, but it's too warm to wear them yet!
My favorite part of Christmas was opening the presents. I enjoyed tearing the paper off of things and putting it into my mouth. Daddy spent a lot of time digging paper out of my mouth. I also liked chewing on the boxes stuff came in. Mommy spent a lot of time taking the boxes away from me. So, I had to settle for chewing on the new toys. They say I'm teething, because I get kind of moody sometimes (Granddaddy says I sound like a fire engine!) They still want me to "crawl," but I don't know why. I get everywhere I need to go by rolling over and over and over!
Tonight, we're all going to get our picture taken at J.C. Penney, then we're all going out to eat. It's great to have Uncle Daniel and Aunt Christy here with us. They like my new house!
I hope you had a Merry Christmas and took time out to thank God for sending Baby Jesus to us as the Best Gift ever given!
I love you and He does, too!

Happy Holidays!
We had Thanksgiving at our new home yesterday!
We had turkey and gravy, grandma's famous pineapple dressing, sweet potatoes, corn pudding, cranberry sauce, potato salad, mashed potatoes, green beans and rolls with real butter! For dessert, we had chips and dip, three kinds of apple pie, great-grandma's famous "chocolate stuff", pumpkin pie, pecan pie, chocolate mint pie, chocolate cream pie and Grammy's famous oatmeal cookies!
Actually, only the Big People had that stuff. I had my usual strained chicken, sweet potatoes and bananas. But I was thankful for that, too! Most of all I'm thankful for Jesus, who was a baby just like me once! I wonder if he liked strained bananas as much as me?
My latest trick is rolling over from front to back and back to front. Now, I can roll all the way across the den floor and get wherever I want to!
Today, Mommy and Daddy got up before it got light outside and dropped me off at Granddaddy and Grandmommy's to spend the day. The folks said they were going to "hit the malls", whatever that means. I hope they don't hurt themselves!
Thanks for visiting. Come back soon!

What A Busy Month!
Things are really happening fast around here, but I'll try to bring you up to date!
Halloween was just AWESOME! I got to dress up like Piglet and know what? You just go up to people's houses and they GIVE YOU CANDY FOR FREE! What a country! Mommy let me have my first Tootsie Roll Pop (photo below) but took it away before I could lick down to the center!
The other day, we went to a shopping mall and I got to sit on Santa's lap to have my picture taken! Mommy and Daddy said it was early for him to be at the mall, but they were glad the line to see him was short! I hope he can find our new house at Christmas! We've got a real chimney and everything! Grandmommy even bought me a stocking with my name on it!
My latest trick is to turn over on my stomach while I'm sleeping. And I can also sit up all by myself without any pillows to help hold me up! What a big girl I am!
Granddaddy and Grammy came over tonight for dinner and helped Daddy put up some shelves in my room for all of my stuffed animals. Except I don't know how I'm going to reach them all the way up there!?!
They've really done a lot to fix up our new house. Daddy still has a few leaves to rake and Mommy is still hanging pictures on the walls. They're trying to get everything ready because we're having everybody over at our house for Thanksgiving this year! Mommy says I can have the drumstick, whatever that means, but I think she's just kidding!
Thanks for visiting my blog and I hope to see you soon!

Fall Festival
Tonight, we went to Fall Festival at my grandparents' church and had a blast! I wore my Piglet costume and got to eat my first snow-cone! (Mommy ate most of it). There were hundreds of other kids there, all dressed up and playing games and stuff.
Daddy taught me to do "razzberries!" Some people call it the "Bronx Cheer." So now, I can stick out my tongue and make a noise with my mouth at the same time! Mommy isn't very happy with Daddy. She wants him to teach me stuff like how to "wave bye-bye."
We got my Christmas pictures back already and everybody thinks they're absolutely adorable! I'll send you a Christmas card with my picture on it so you can see for yourself! For now, you'll have to settle for the new photos below.
Bye-bye for now!

New Digs!
Well, we're finally moved into our NEW HOUSE! It's AWESOME!
Mommy and Granddaddy picked it out while Daddy was in the hospital. They must have done a good job because Daddy BOUGHT IT! (He says somebody named More-Gij really owns it, but they're going to let us live there!)
It's HUGE! It has four stories and five bedrooms and two bathrooms and a den and a living room and a kitchen and a dining room and a utility room and closets and I already have my stuff spread out in every room!
Guess what? The nice lady next door just brought home a baby boy who was born the day before we moved in! We might get to be playmates!
And there are some more little kids who live across the street from us! We're going to have so much fun together!
Know what? Daddy taught me how to hold my own bottle yesterday! He says I'm a BIG GIRL, now!
Daddy had to work tonight and Mommy went to her Bible Study Group, so Granddaddy and Grandmommy came by to babysit me. We had lots of fun until I had to go to bed. (But I did get to stay up until 8:00 so I could play with them.)
What do you think of my new pictures below? Ain't I a cutie?
Bye-bye!
