Apple, big boy cups and crayons!

It's Christmas week and I'm so excited to get my Holiday on!!! WOOO! Yesterday was an awesome day! Mama and I stayed home together and did all sorts of fun stuff.
After I got up from my nap I was really, really hungry.... Mama starting cutting up an apple for me and got super excited when i said, "apple" for the very first time- that apple was so tasty! She took a picture of me with my apple right after I said it... she's so silly!

Once I'd finished my apple she set me at the table with three of my favorite foods, shredded cheese, olives and tomatoes! Then she poured me a glass of milk in a big boy glass! She used to help me every time but now she lets me do it by myself and I didn't spill at all! I did end up putting some olives in my milk and Mama thought that was pretty funny.

 

Mmm, mmm... milk is delicious!

After that we got out some crayons, I still can't quite say "crayon" but I can say "paper"! Mama had this cardboard box that she was letting me draw on and then we came up with this cool game, I would roll the crayon to Mama down the box of the lid and then she would lift the lid slightly so that they rolled back to me! Then I figured out how to make them roll back to me without Mama's help. It was the best game EVER!

I also liked to roll the crayons from side to side and of course draw a lovely abstract piece on the box itself.

I think it's funny that Mama takes all these pictures of me and sometimes I try to steal the camera, but this time I posed even though I was still sleepy from my nap.

I have been going through an intense growth spurt recently. Instead of only eating part of one egg I eat two eggs for breakfast! I also love to eat cottage cheese, pickles and olives, just like Grandpa!

Uncle Nolan is staying at my house for awhile, which is pretty cool. I love when I get to hang out with my uncle.

Well folks, I'm exhausted, so I'll say farewell for now, next time I post I will probably have some Christmas pictures!!! Until then, have a very Merry Christmas!

yes- i'm a ham!

well, Mama and I have missed having the internet a lot! Mostly mama tho... I like to wiggle the mouse and touch all the buttons on the keyboard when she isn't looking, hehehe... Mama is home for school break so we've spent LOTS of time together!!! It's so much fun! A few weeks ago we went to the Christmas parade and we gotta take my cousin Olivia with us and her Grandma Jaylynn.
My hands got super cold so I borrowed Olivia's gloves, it was pretty silly.

She gave me kisses too... i tried to escape them but i was stuck in my stroller... 

 We got to eat rice crispies treats and Olivia got hot cocoa! Mama brought me milk to drink. It was so much fun! I loved the horses and dogs, I clapped and cheered right along with everyone. Mama even put me up on her shoulders a few times.

My cousin Olivia has been to my house over a few times too... last Saturday we made cookies together!

 

They were delicious! 

 

Even before they were cooked... num, num, COOKIES!

The next time Olivia came over she said she was tired so we sat on the couch together and mama got us each our own blanket.

 

We didn't actually sleep at all... 

I've been kickin it with my cool and crazy Uncle Nolan- sometimes he makes monkey noises and beats his chest like a monkey and i can do it just as good as he can!!! He's the best uncle in the world! We always have fun together.

Mama tells everyone I'm growing up so fast, I can say, "Piano", "Paper", "Please" and lots and lots of words... I listen a lot to my Mama when she asks me to help her but sometimes I disobey and do naughty things like break the Christmas tree ornaments, and throw my sippy cup behind the tv. Then i get in trouble and that is not fun! I know my Mama loves me and all my aunts and uncles and cousins and my grandma and grandpa. Good night everyone!!! Love you all...
