So, apparently, my mom got a new camera for Christmas from my dad and they're both super excited about it and now follow me around even MORE, taking picture after picture after picture... of absolutely nothing, if you ask me.
I mean, how many pictures of a baby playing with packing peanuts does one need?
And you'd think they'd never seen a kid take a bath before. Honestly.
This isn't even a fair representation, here. I mean, I'm incredibly camera-shy.
We did do things other than open gifts, of course... a LOT of things. Try to keep up...
There was playing in the snow (real snow this time)...
... which, for the most part, consisted of Daddy and Grandpa throwing snowballs at me - I mean, does that seem fair to you?
But I got them back by throwing snow at them... although it might have ended up in my face in the end anyway:
We also went and saw some pretty spectacular lights at a farm:
It was way passed my bedtime, but I wouldn't have missed it! I kept warm in my jammies by the fire with mommy:
I skipped a nap and went to the conservatory where there was lots of running around to do, ooh-ing and ah-ing at a waterfall, beautiful plants, and a train!
I got kinda grumpy towards the end of our visit...
... but Daddy cheered me up right away:
I also hung out with some fellow superheroes...
... and taught them how to fly:
We did spend a lot of time at home, too, where there was lots of playing with the cat:
Listening to music:
More playing with toys:
Being sassy:
Dinner with Uncle Garrett and Ellen:
Drinking of milk naked:
And eating, eating and more eating:
A few times, I was out on the town, and I have to admit... I got into a little trouble:
I can't even say she started it...
(I miss you, Gracie!!!!)
But in my defense, I'd like to say that my new Kissing Elmo toy taught me all my tricks...
(two of my favorite pass-times: kissing and peekaboo)
You guys have no idea how awesome Christmas is... or do you? I mean, what's not to love? When you're one, it's all about stimulation, so lights were my personal favorite. Everywhere I went, there were flashing lights and usually music, too! And then there are the treats and presents and cozy fires and... it's so amazing! I was kinda overloaded on awesomeness this year - maybe that happens when you're little and everything is new?
This year, we visited Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Laura and Uncle Gary in Ohio. Wish I could tell you in detail about all the fun we had! Instead, an overview of some of the finest moments...
It took me a while to figure it out, but I had a lot of practice and finally got the hang of opening gifts this Christmas season:
Again, some favorites: a toy plane that makes noise and has flashing lights...
Elmo!
A cape, handcrafted by a dear friend (thank you, Kim!!) so I can be a superhero along with my buddies...
Tools so I can help Daddy with projects:
And much, much more... I'm pretty spoiled. Maybe I shouldn't show off how much my relatives, friends and parents have spoiled me - you might be jealous...
But I do want to make sure I communicate that while I love to play with ALL my new toys...
... sometimes the most fun is playing in the boxes they came in...
