High Five!

Sorry for all the blogs today...but I couldn't resist adding this. Doing the "High Five" is my favorite new trick:)

My first baby doll

I got the sweetest little baby doll for Christmas and it looks a little bit like me....I felt like I was looking in the mirror or something. Here is a little footage of my first few moments with my dolly.

And so this is Christmas!

A very Merry Christmas to you all! My first Christmas has been an absolutely magical time. On Wednesday, Mom, Dad, Pater, Bill, Lucy and I all loaded up and headed to La Grange. On Christmas Eve, we all went to church and then came home and opened presents and it was so much fun. Once I started to realize that inside all of these pretty boxes were new fun toys for me, I was very excited about them! Some of my favorite toys were a little car from Gigi, a doll from Mimi, a cow that mooooooos from Popo, and some Mega Blocks from my cousins Avery and Dax. After playing with the toys for a little while I headed over to my mom's cousins' house where there were babies everywhere! I have so many cute little cousins it is ridiculous! Finally, I got to turn in for the night and wake up to lots of fun on Christmas day consisting of eating some delicious turkey and dressing, playing with my toys and going on a walk with mom and Aunt Rachel. Today we were all just playing with our toys and you will never guess who showed up at Mimi's house....Santa Claus! I sat on his lap and he reminded me a whole lot of my Popo, but it was pretty neat. After Santa's visit, we came back home to Austin and we are all absolutely pooped! I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas too!

My Mary is getting married!!

Well my sweet nanny Mary who I love so so much had a really big day today. She and her boyfriend Luke who have been dating for a couple of years went jogging at town lake and as they took a detour to a beautiful lookout point, Mary stumbled upon lots of pretty rose petals, strawberries and champagne and then Luke got down on his knee and proposed!! Mom and I were hiding in the bushes taking pictures and it was so special. Congratulations Mary! I love you!

Strike a pose, there's nothing to it.

Just thought I would share a few of my favorite poses that came out of my 9 month photo shoot.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

Today I took my first trip to see Santa. I was very interested in the crazy amount of facial hair that guy has, but other than that, I don't really get what all the big whoop de doo is about just yet.

Oh Christmas tree Oh Christmas tree

Christmas 2008-my first Christmas on the outside!

Christmas 2007-still growing in Mom's belly!

Our new Christmas tradition


Mom, Dad, and I have been quite busy decking the halls and I am absolutely entranced by my very first Christmas tree. Mom assures me I was kinda around last year at this time but I don't remember, so she showed me this picture. Ha ha! Anyway, I love all the bright lights and shiny ornaments. And my dad says it is a tradition that he and I put the star on the top of the tree because he used to do it with his dad, so I did my best to get up to the top of the tree and help...
