Uh-Oh!

I learned a new phrase within the past week – “uh-oh”. I use it in proper context as when I drop something, I say “uh-oh” or if there is any other sort of mishap around the house, I am quick with an uh-oh. This phrase came in handy over the weekend as we had a couple of incidents.

A couple of days ago Mommy and I were driving back from the store and I was holding my favorite stuffed animal – a Care Bear. I love my Care Bear and you can see us together in the pictures. As we were driving home I began to shout “uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh”. Mommy looked back and noticed that I didn’t have my bear anymore. This is not uncommon as I routinely throw things on the floor of the car. The problem was, I wasn’t looking at the floor; I was looking at the window and saying uh-oh. Yes, you guessed it – my bear jumped out of the window. Mommy turned the car around and luckily we found my bear in the middle of the road. We have been reunited…for the time-being anyway.

The other pictures you see are of my bed in several pieces. No, the bed didn’t break from me being too fat. I know what you are thinking – the fat kid finally ate too much and broke her bed. No, it's not true; I didn’t break my bed – I fell out of it. I woke up from my nap and as I always do, I stood up and leaned over the edge. Well, apparently I leaned too far and I landed on the floor. Daddy said that the thud was unmistakable and he hurried up the stairs to find me standing in the middle of the room crying. Fortunately, I did not hurt myself but I was a little frightened. Anyway, later that day Mommy and Daddy moved my bed to the lowest setting so it will be a lot tougher for me to get out again. You can see me helping with the repairs in the pictures.

PS - in one of the pictures you can see the headboard of the bed with all of the stickers containing warnings and disclaimers. Kind of ironic wouldn't you say?

I have a drinking problem

While an intervention may not be necessary, I have a drinking problem. I have discovered that I can get water out of the refrigerator. Thus, today I spent a portion of the day lumbering my little legs up to the frig with my shot glass in hand to get myself a glass of icy cold water. Approximately 15% of the water that comes out of the frig actually finds its way into my mouth. The rest is absorbed by my clothes or lands on the floor for Monty’s drinking pleasure.

By the way, Daddy says that when he drinks too many shots he can’t find his pants either. We have a few pictures of that as well but we can't post those because Daddy says that people may get a little too excited. Mommy threw up a little in her mouth after he said that.

2nd Cousins

A little posing with Andrew, Matt, and Lexie. I was able to show Aunt Karen how I can walk too!

Family Ties

Today I spent time with my 2nd cousins Matthew, Lexie, and Andrew. You can see us posing for pictures above. Matthew and Lexie live in Delaware so I do not get to see them much. You can see Lexie and I posing – us girls need to stick together in a family full of boys. Matthew and I also had a moment of reflection about the downfall of the Cowboys.

Happy Easter

As cynical as I was a few months back about Santa Claus, I was very happy to meet him at the mall. I sat in his lap and told him what I wanted for Christmas and listened intently to everything Santa had to say.

On Saturday, Mommy and Daddy took me back to the mall to meet the Easter Bunny. On a happiness scale of 1 to 10, (with 10 being the happiest), I think I would rate my trip to see the Easter Bunny about a minus 5. I cried almost immediately and grabbed Daddy like a koala bear. Daddy was able to pry me away and place me in the arms of the monstrous mammal but I was scared out of my mind and sobbing uncontrollably.

At that point, Mommy and Daddy decided to downgrade the photo package they previously selected. Still, the woman at the register trying to sell us more pictures said “I just love the pictures when the children are crying.” Yeah, that makes sense psycho-lady. Maybe I’ll change my opinion next year but right now a six foot bunny who lays eggs is about the scariest thing I can think of.

On Sunday we went to Grandma and Grandpa’s house. You can see me collecting eggs in their yard. It was a nice day and I ate a lot. Grandma is a good cook.

Attention all shoppers!

I was a little bored in our shopping buggy so Mommy and Daddy decided to let me out to walk around. Wow, what a big store Wal-Mart is!!!! They had some sales in the clothing aisle so that is where I spent most of my time. I got a lot of attention from the other shoppers as it is pretty obvious that I am just beginning to walk. It is odd how Daddy is nowhere to be found when I get attention from most people but when a pretty woman comes by to say hello Daddy is always there. Hmmmm.

Another day, another birthday party

My friend Avery's first birthday party!

Idis and I playing in the music class for Avery's birthday.

Here I am playing at the "Education Station" for my friend Ella's first birthday this past weekend.

Ella and I playing together at her party.

Happy St. Patty's Day

Today I went to a birthday party at The Music Class. We did a lot of singing and dancing. It was a very nice time. Check out the pictures.

I wore my green today so nobody pinched me. By the way, my shirt says “Daddy’s Lady Luck”.

These shoes are made for walking

Look at me, I can walk! I can use my little legs to walk across the room with my book so that Mommy can read to me. I love my books and Mommy reads to me all of the time. I am going to be soooo smart and make Mommy and Daddy proud. However, when I am done with my reading and while Mommy isn't looking I also like to cut loose and watch television shows requiring minimal mental capacity. Take for instance what is on television in the video. If you look closely you will notice that it appears to be paused on a television show that contains a studio audience. A daytime show with a studio audience? You know that has to be good stuff.

Who knows, maybe the next word I will learn after "Mommy" and "Daddy" is JERRY! JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!!!!!!

Take care of yourselves, and each other.

Come Luke, Come Over to the Dark Side

My friend Luke came over to play with me. He's one of my best friends. We played in my playroom all day while Mommy was asleep on the couch (just kidding). Anyway, we laughed and played with my toys, read books, talked about life, and watched tv. After much negotiation, I agreed to watch Fox News for a little while and Luke agreed to watch CNBC and the Food Network. We celebrated with a hug as you can see in one of the pictures below.
