New Year's round up

Mommy and Daddy brought out the potty for me...and I used it. Made a few drops and then did some pretend grunts for show. Hee hee. We'll see how that goes.

One of my new favorite words is....why? And, I don't know (sounds like "i no no"). I can make lots of sentences now. I'm pretty good at talking, but I probably won't say much when you see me. I get shy.

These days, I'm a pretty good eater, although some meals I still don't eat anything. If there's a steady supply and variety of foods, I can usually out-sit everyone else (like at a party). I'm kind of a slow and steady eater. I love love love fruits of all kinds, even kiwi and pomegranates. And I like lemons too. I love fish, especially salmon. And rice with soy sauce or teriyaki sauce. I like meats, like chicken or fish, though not that into ground meats. I do like sausage however. All sausages. And of course spicy food. Oh, and meat on the bone. Like Salt and Pepper Chicken wings (love them so much. And I like ribs. Last time we had ribs, there weren't enough for me! I also like hot tea, even though sometimes it's bitter, like the kind they serve at chinese restaurants.

I copy everything my big brother does. I'm sure he gets annoyed at me sometimes, but I think he likes having me follow him around. Most of the time, we play well together, but you know how it goes, we fight sometimes. Cameron does teach me a lot though. He shows me the dances he learns at school and dance class and we'll put on a show for Mom and Dad. They love it.

Sleep. I sleep a lot. I get about 12 hours at night. I think I could sleep more, but my brother gets up earlier and starts making noise and asking for breakfast and all that. I'm at one nap, and it's usually about 2.5 hours. I love my crib and I fill it with lots of friends (stuffed animals, several dogs, bears, etc). Still on the binky....it's gonna be tough losing those. Mommy says I'm a good sleeper. Yay!

Happy Birthday Connor and Bella!

We went to Bella and Connor's 2nd birthday party. It was at the Little Gym and we had a great time. Okay, I had a great time on the balance beam, and then jumping on the jumpy thing (with Mom). Yup, I made her jump too. :) Cameron was wild running around with Tristan. Then we had pizza and cupcakes. Yum! I was very pooped afterwards...I napped in the car...and then at home too! Woweeee!

Stats

My stats for 2...
I'm 25 and 1/4 pounds. Only. And I'm 32 and 1/4 inches little. Hey. You know what they say. Good things come in small packages. :)

It's my partay!

My birthday was super fun. Mommy and Daddy put up fun decorations and we even used the garage for extra space (it's brr brr cold outside these days). It was a carnival theme, so there were some games and stuff for us to play. For lunch, the kids had dino nuggets and fries. The grownups had Mommy's quiche and some other stuff, like salad and shrimp. Then we had yummy cake and even a special surprise from Mommy! Frozen chocolate banana pops! Yummo. Good thing there was plenty, cuz we just kept eating them. All my friends came to celebrate with me...and I got a whole lotta dump trucks! :0 Thanks everyone for coming!

So in preparation for my upcoming 2nd birthday, Mom and I have been practicing singing ( I love to sing, ya know?) and I pretty much know the words to the Happy Birthday song...and I can even change the names out. Which I love to do. Plus, I'll be singing to Paw Paw soon.

I also like to sing itsy bitsy spider, and whatever my brother is singing or whatever is on the radio.

Been doing a lot better at Gymboree. I even walked on the parachute (toes curled up) because Mom sat herself practically in the middle of it for bubble time, and I had to be near Mommy. And I even mumble (under my breath) the answer when Miss Rita asks questions about the pictures. And I will do all the pretend play that she asks us to. It's pretty fun and I'm enjoying it. Thank goodness Mommy didn't stop taking me!

Brrr...

Watching the parade at night...it's cold. But I'm bundled up!
