Funny Face.

I make lots of silly faces. I'm a baby, what can I say? I'm learning and practicing all my expressions. Well, mom and dad got a kick out of all the "out-takes" they captured over the course of 10 days and the 1,000 pics they took! So here's a handful of good ones. Enjoy!

The Kissing Bandit.

Kissing is my new favorite hobby. If it has a face, I'm sure to kiss it--right on the mouth too! So watch out, I'm puckered up and ready for you! Daddy, you better hope I grow out of this one ; )

Children's Museum VA

Mommy, daddy, Gram and Gramp B. and I went to the Children's Museum in Harrisonburg, VA. What fun! I dressed up in different hats, played musical instruments and played in the barn!

Oma's 90th Birthday!

My Oma, daddy's grandma, a very special lady to me, turned 90 on December 11th. I was SO CLOSE to being born on her birthday. I just couldn't wait to get out and meet everyone though! Any-hoo, the whole reason we went to VA was for her big birthday celebration! So here are some pics of the big bash. I had such a great time with all of my cousins (3rd, 4th or 5th?? Whatever they are, I loved them all!)

Oma, Gram, Daddy and I. Whatever I did, it was funny!


Kait, Elmo and I. Group hug!


Lynn, Earl, mom and me.


Kelsey, Amanda, mommy and me.


This is as close as I could get to giving Shenandoah a kiss (gram and gramps' new kitty, or as I like to say, "she-she").


Abby and I playing with our Christmas toys!

Christmas Vacation!

I had the best Christmas ever! We went to VA and got to see both sets of Grandparents! Woo-hoo! While on vacation, I grew up. I started walking, full on. It happened on Christmas Day, so let's call that mommy and daddy's gift from me (not quite sure they'll consider it a "gift")! I also started saying a lot of new words and phrases ("ah boom", "all done", "gentle", "kitty" which sometimes sounds more like "she-she", and "shh..." I even (kinda) make the gesture by putting my finger in my mouth! I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of it all right now. I'm getting 6 new teeth, many of which are molars. Can you say ouch? I think I'm going to take a nap and finish this later....

Ok, I'm back. Here are some pics from Grandma and Grandpa B.'s house, Christmas morning and all!

My first fat lip, that I got the day before we left on vacation. I bumped my mouth on the table, ouch!


Dreaming of my vacation...only one day away!


Pics of me with the family...




And visions of sugar plums danced in my head...


Christmas morning, woo-hoo!






Hanging out over the holidays.





Playing with the grandmas.




Fun in the kitchen. I know kitchens won't always be fun!





Mom said no : (


I can do it all by myself!
