Random October Cuteness

This is me and Kiki. Auntie Laurenne bought Kiki for me when we went to Las Vegas in July. I love sleeping with Kiki and carrying him with me everywhere I go...he is the first toy of mine that I named.

I love talking on the phone. Lots of times, I will pick up the phone and talk to Gaga (Collin)...that's probably who I was talking to this time.

No, Mama Goat, these are my goldfish. You can't have them.

I love reading.

Bubble wrap fun.

Being silly and wearing Scottie's toque that he got for Christmas last year.

Just sitting with my big brother on the couch.

Halloween. We went to ARF first to see Grandma before going Trick or Treating. Aren't I just the cutest little witch you ever did see???

So much has gone on since my last post 3 months ago.

August was a really bust month. Mama and Daddy looked at houses to rent and we found one. So, all of August Mama packed (and we unpacked) boxes...she got a little frustrated at times...lol

But here's a picture of us helping Mama bring boxes to the living room.

At our new house there are goats. We moved into a house at the back of 2 acres, and Dina lives in the house at the front of the 2 acres...and they are her goats. Here we are feeding the goats orange tree leaves...they like them.

In the middle of the month, we moved in...and before we even got anything unpacked, Mama, Scott and I went to NY to visit Auntie Michelle, Uncle Tony, Madisyn and Kian.

We had so much fun. They took us to Ottawa the day after we got there. We got in later at night than planned cause our plane was delayed and then they lost our luggage.

When we went to Ottawa, we went to Boston Pizza, Toys 'R Us, Tim Hortons and Superstore. On another day we went to the zoo in Watertown and then we went shopping. Mama and Auntie also bought us matching outfits to get pictures taken it...yeha, that was lots of fun :)

On our way home from Vegas, we stopped at Bass Pro Shops and got to see a really big aquarium. The stingray would swim right in front me in on the other side of the glass and it scared me.

After Auntie's wedding, we went to Vegas. This picture is of us shopping.

My Auntie Christine got married in July and I got to be a flowergirl. I got to wear a pretty dress. All the pictures Mama has of me on her camera, though, I am wearing my bib so you can't really see my dress, but I will show you a picture anyways.

My first set of pigtails. Mama worked real hard to get these in my hair and I didn't like it, not one little bit, but I got over it cause she thinks they are so cute :)

A little bit of April and May.

Well, Mummy finally took me in for my 1 yr. appt. I weigh 20 lbs 13 0z (I think that was 50th percentile) and I am 30" tall (90-95th percentile, is what the Dr. said, I think).

Mummy and Daddy think I am so small. But Dr. Jones says that I am tall and skinny.

I have all 4 molars now. So, that makes 12 teeth. I was a trooper...they sure hurt coming in, but I made it through it.

I love watching SpongeBon with my brother. We both call him "BobBob". Cousin Bria came over for a couple of days while my Auntie was in England and we made her let us watch BobBob all the time. She thinks it sad that one of my first words is "BobBob". I think it's funny.

Here's me at my Auntie's Bridal Shower wearing her bride tiara. Don't I look like a princess???

Mummy and Daddy bought me and Scottie a toy each when we went to the bookstore. I got a princess doll. Isn't she so pretty???

Here I am sound asleep in my high chair. This is my first time falling asleep there.

I am such a good sport. Every so often, Scottie manages to get ahold of a pen and when he does, he will draw 1 of 3 places...the wall, himself, or me. Guess which one (or two) he chose today.

Scottie and I love wrestling together, too. We always have so much fun playing together. I am so glad that he is my brother.

And now for some May.

For Daddy's birthday, we had a luau party for him. Mummy bought us flower leis.

Oh, goodness...this was a fun day. Mummy was making supper and Daddy was sleeping. What better time than to decide to play in the fireplace. Now, we have never used the fireplace, so apparently, the people who lived here before us, did not do a very good job of cleaning in out...but, we did ;)

Daddy was asked to teach some girls at church gun safety. Well, we went to the Freeman's house to do that, and they have all kinds of animals...cow, goats, chicks...in this picture, even though it is hard tell, I am petting a baby chick.

You know what, I think for now, I will leave at here for May. I will have to get my Mummy to update again later for the rest of May.

Make sure you read this whole post...at the end is a super duper cute video of Aerin talking...so worth the 1:25sec.

This is me and my brother being silly.

Easter.

The Easter Bunny was so good to me this year. Scott found my basket for me. I don't really understand yet how to go looking for it.

I got a dress, a Princess nightgown, sandals, ColorDropz for the bathtub...those are so cool. I love having coloured bathwater...princess bubble bath, and some chocolates.

Over at Aunt Shelly's house I got to pet a horsey. He was so cool.

And, of course, doing what I do best...chillazin'!!!

We are so silly...okay, fine, Scottie is really silly. :)

And here we are in the bathtub tonight with half blue and half yellow water...eventually is will be green. Mama put in the ColorDropz tonight.

And last, but not least, here is a video of my sweet little girl talking.

So, here is my life since that big long shopping day at Bass Pro Shops.
This is a pair of sunglasses that my Grandma G gave me...don't I look so pretty???

Here I am playing with the baby that Auntie Christine gave me for my birthday...I am also wearing the outfit that Auntie Michelle gave me.
I really love my baby.

Scottie has been moved into a real big boy bed now and I got his old bed. We were hanging out and playing one day and I guess he must miss his bed, cause this is where we ended up playing.

Grandma G gave me this sit on bear for Christmas. Now that I have enough balance I can sit on it by myself...Mama used to just hold me on it.

This is Mama's new favourite pic of me.

And here I am again, playing with my baby. I was taking her for a walk.

I am 1 now.



I can say all kinds of words...I can say, "Hi." "Wow" "Uh-oh" "Ball"...and if you ask me where the ball is, I will get it for you..."Bubble" and "Dada"...for doggie.

I walk everywhere now...I have gotten so good at walking.

I have started giving kisses...they are wide-open kisses, so Mummy gets a little slobbery sometimes :)

I sleep in a big girl bed now...as of tonight. Mummy moved Scottie into Solomon's bed, Solomon will go to Camille's bed, and I got Scottie's bed.

I had my birthday party on Sar. Mar. 21. It was a lot of fun...I got lots of nice outfits, a book, really cool sunglasses and hair bow clips, and a cool baby and a stroller. I love my baby.
We had my party at the park. It was such a nice day out. Mummy, naturally, took lots of pictures.

Somebody has decided not to like bathtime anymore.
And it can be pinned down to the very day that happened...Fri. night of last week.
Bathtime has always been a fun, enjoyable, splashing good time...but as of Friday night...not anymore.
My Mummy is used to being able to sit on the toilet and read her SHAPE or PARENTS magazine for 20 mins while Scott and I play...but tonight, Mummy had to actually get into the bath with us to keep me quiet.
I sat on her lap and snuggled into her like it was nobody's business. I did not want to let her go...then she got me used to sitting in the tub without crying, she got out, and I was just fine sitting there playing until Scott decided to dump water over my head and the meltdown began.
It must be a phase...a silly phase at that...and Mummy hopes it passes really soon...although, with all that exercising she is doing, maybe sitting in a nice warm bath every night might do her some good :)

So, like Mummy was saying in my last post, I am walking now. Today, I just don't want to stop and Mummy was actually able to take some video of me...to be honest, she took about 6 videos of me today.

I hope you enjoy the videos.

I am 11 months old.

-I love to clap my hands.

-I am walking more and more everyday...the most steps I have taken at a time was probably around 12. I was going so fast Mummy couldn't count...but she knows it was a lot. My average number of steps is probably 5 or 6.

-I have 8 teeth.

-My hair is finally starting to grow...but it's still not long enough for pigtails.

-My favourite toy to snuggle with is the teddy bear that Aunt Virginia gave me for Christmas.

-I LOVE pushing and riding the police car toy that Auntie Christine bought Scott for Christmas '07.

-I know how to wave 'hi' and 'bye'...it is so crazy cute when I do.

-I like to help Mummy unload the dishwasher. I like to take the utensils out and either pass them to Mummy or if Scott decides to help, too, I pass them to him and he passes them to Mummy.

-I really like peanut butter sandwiches...but to be honest, I will eat anything you put in front of me.

-I try really hard to drink water out of Scott's sippy cups, but I just haven't figured out how to drink from a straw yet.

-I don't like it when bathtime is over, so when Mummy wraps me in the towel, we play peek-a-boo to make me happy. It works everytime.

-I love my daddy so much. I am a total Daddy's Girl...and I wouldn't have it any other way :)
