11 months old!

Today I am 11 months old. One more month 'til my birthday! I went to lunch with Mom, Aunt Jennifer and Diane. Then I played with Zoe.Wow! That's a big tree. (check out my 2 new top teeth!)

Playing at home

I was just chillin' out playing with my new toys. This is my new laugh and learn kitchen. I have the home too...I can climb on it better!

I love this ABC book that my Grandma gave me. Turning the pages is so much fun.

Especially on the Y page where there is a mirror. I like to give myself kisses.

New TV

Yesterday we got a new TV for the kitchen. Grandpa Dave installed it today. I got to watch my new Baby Einstein movie....happy Laney!I was very happy to eat my carrots and watch TV so mom could make dinner.

When I am done eating Zoe helps clean up what I dropped!

Playing

I love playing with my dolls. I got a stroller from G'ma Carole & G'pa Dave and I like to push my babies in it.The only problem is turning around once I get across the room.

Usually Mom is taking the pictures and not in them.

Hmm...where do I get those blue eyes?

My First Christmas!

Well, this Christmas stuff is pretty fun.
Santa brought me Elmo slippers! I knew sitting on his lap was a good idea!Grandma Carole and Grandpa Dave gave me a new doll. I was watching Uncle Brady with Avery and he pats her on the bottom so I did that with my baby too.I was very interested in Avery. She didn't care much about me! Here I am giving her a kiss.

We are only 8 months apart in age!

Uncle JJ is lots of fun!

Here I am reading my favorite Christmas gift. Santa gave me an Olivia book in my stocking.

Playing with my toy food. I like the toys I can pick up and carry around.

Here is the grocery cart I got from Mom and Dad.

Grandpas Dave and Roger had to put the grocery cart together. Dad had enough putting together with my horsey! He set a new rule that gifts have to come pre-assembled!

Mom had to help my unwrap my gifts.

My First Christmas Eve!

On my first Christmas Eve I opened the presents from my cousins. Aunt Jennifer got me this horse. I named him Charlie. I'm clapping for myself because I figured out how to get him to rock.Grandpa got me this Elmo Live! Mommy had a very difficult time getting him out of the box.

These are my favorite things to play with at Aunt Jennifer's house.

I'm not so quiet anymore! I was walking around Aunt Jennifer's singing.

Here I am with Grandma, Grandpa and my cousins.

Here is my Great Grandma with all her great (and we are pretty great!) grandkids.

This is mom and dad and I after church.

Here I am with my cousins.

This is before we went to church in from of my Christmas tree.

Gingerbread house

At Stacey's we had our Daycare Christmas party. We made gingerbread houses and got to eat them. By the time I was done eating mine I looked like the Grinch, all covered in green frosting.

Amaya!!!

My cousin Amaya is here from Chicago for Christmas. I only get to see her this one night.

Hey, Grandma, not without me you don't!

Stinky Feet!

Grandma Carole always asks me if my feet are stinky.
So, I have to smell them. Yip, pee-yeu!

Santa!

I met Santa tonight. I was not so sure about him, but he seemed pretty harmless and mom said he'll bring me gifts if I would sit nice on his lap. When do I get these gifts?I wasn't quite ready to smile, so this is what you get!

Some Firsts...

I had some first the past couple days. Last night was my first snow. I was leaving Abbey & Maddey's Christmas program and the snow was really coming down. I was quite amused by it. Here I am walking to the car with Mom and Alex. I had to leave before the program was over because I thought it was my program!French Fries?
Here is Alex being silly. We went out to eat Saturday with Grandma and Grandpa Vogel.

You want me to eat this?

Well, if you say so...not too bad!
