Off to New Jersey!

At Indianapolis Airport - here comes our plane!

Yay - I got a window seat! I was so good on the plane and basically ate, slept and looked out the window.

Seeing my Auntie Colleen again for the first time. I remembered her and got a big smile on my face!

Sunday December 26th... the day we're celebrating Christmas in NJ! I'm on my way to meet my Grammy & Pop Pop!

I woke up shortly after we arrived and got to see my Grammy & Pop Pop! I was dressed up like Santa Clause! This is the first time I met my Pop Pop and I love him so much! We're twins! While we were busy opening presents inside, there was a BIG Nor'easter going on outside!

Me and Allison This is my Auntie Colleen. She is Santa's head elf at the North Pole! This is the first of many, many bags! I must have been really good. :)

Santa and his elf came to visit! (Really it was my Auntie Kristin & Uncle Mike but I went along with it!)

BLIZZARD!!! ... and not the Dairy Queen Ice Cream kind!

So pretty...

but lots to shovel! This is my Grammy's car...

Even though we were busy on vacation, I never missed a meal!

There were so many presents for me to open, I saved a few of mine for the next morning.

New boots!!

Me and my Auntie Kristin!

I sat in the tub like a big girl. Well, I AM a big girl!!

SLEDDING!!! We didn't have a sled so while we were out, my Pop Pop became creative (which he always is) and made me my very own sled! I bet I'm the only girl that gets to go sledding in a bucket!

Wheeeeeeeeeeee.............

Grammy & Pop Pop were planning on having some people over to visit tonight and I didn't want to take a nap before. There was just to much to see!

New Year's Eve at Auntie Col's. She opened her presents from Auntie Mare!

More Christmas Parties!

First we went to my Daddy's work party at the Desert Ridge Marriott. I was excited to meet everyone!

I've been waiting a long time to meet Daddy's boss. This is Inder... I call him Uncle Inder and I like him a lot!

I can't remember who this is, but he was nice. I was passed around to everyone - they all loved me! Inders wife is in the background, she held me all day too!

Now it's time for our Christmas! Look at all the presents... even the big box is mine!

My new giraffe to help with my teething...

Daddy helping me open - it's hard work!

YAY! Another book. I'm going to bring this one on the plane with me.

Love eating the paper...

Even the dogs got presents! I'm taking a rest on the couch - it's been a long day.

Look at me!! I'm standing up! This is my new Exersaucer from Grammy & Pop Pop. I love you and can't wait to meet you Pop Pop! I hope Mommy let's me bring this on the airplane... it's not that big!!

This is great. So many toys and buttons and sounds! I love it.

I miss everyone and can't wait to see you SOON!!! Mommy & I packed yesterday so we're all ready! Less than a week to go. xoxo

December 8th - a busy day!

I'm 4 months old today and you know what that means.... another photo shoot!! I also went to the doctor today and had to get more shots. He said I'm looking good - 16 pounds, 6 oz, 25 3/4 long and in the 95% percentile! I'm growing so big. I am also about to get 2 new teeth on the bottom so don't make me mad! Oh, and I get to start eating! This should be great...

4 Months! Good thing there was that huge present behind me...

Ok, rice cereal 101. So far, so good.

Hmmm... not sure what all the fuss is about this stuff. It tastes kind of funny.

Still processing...

Oh no, not that spoon again!

Yuk. I've decided I don't like it one bit...

Where's my milk?! Mommy & Daddy said I have to try again tomorrow. I hope they forget!

Here Comes Santa Clause, Here Comes Santa Clause...

I get to meet Santa today! I'm all dressed up and so excited!

Daddy was playing a game with me before we left. He likes to try and get my nose with his fingers!

He always gets it and I always laugh!!

We're here and I'm next in line! I can't wait...

Me and Santa! He even gave me a candy cane and of course, I tried to eat it! I told him everything I want for Christmas... hope I didn't forget anything!

My Christmas Party!

Dinners almost ready... Daddy made lasagna for everyone! I hope he makes it again next year when I can have a piece.

Look at all those presents! Some are even for ME! :)

I was pretty good at unwrapping...

and then I kept trying to eat it!

I wanted to eat everything! It was fun!

Thank you Auntie Janice for my presents!!! I love you!

My First Trip to the ZOO!!

When Daddy came home from work & said we were going to Zoolights - I was SO excited!

I'm all ready - can't wait to see the lights!

I have the best Daddy ever...

My Mom's pretty good too!

There were so many colorful lights to look at

Lots of monkeys too!

My favorite blue tree

This was my first Christmas adventure this month, with many more to come. I love Christmas! Santa too! :)
