Christmas 2009 in OH

Window peekin at Nana Peg's houseThank you Papa Henry for making me my very own rocking horse!

Huh?

Cruz & I playing cars on Papa's chair

Weeehhh! Cruz did a good job carrying this load.

Cruz would carry 5 cars at once in his arms, chin and pockets. I think he needs a purse:)

Cruz & Uncle Christian

Aunt Kel got me my own wagon/dump truck that I can haul stuff around the yard with this summer. Mom can't wait for me to help her in the garden!

Merry Christmas!

Papa John with Cruz and I. We had a great time playing together at Papa's house.

My brother and sister on their new bed that Santa brought them. I'm not so sure there is room for me?

Happy Birthday to me! I loved my cake so much that my dad had to take it away so I wouldnt eat it all.

It has been a great 1st year!

We can't get over how quickly Jack's first year has passed by. He has grown and changed so much and continues to learn and try new things every day. A little risky at times but so much fun to watch as he explores. He is walking pretty good. Still crawling when he wants to get somewhere quickly though. Jack's mimicking different phrases and words. He especially loves to shake his head at you when you say, "Eh ah" or when you say, "Auh oh" - he'll say the "auh" part - still working on the "oh"! He had his first successful wave at a stranger in McD's at a truck stop of all places:) Jack has 4 partial teeth - none of which are totally in but none the less he finally has teeth and hair...no more Benjamin Button. Eating has not been so fun lately. He's been more picky and defiant about getting into his seat- which makes for a long drawn out eating time of him rocking in his chair so hard that he shakes his cars and sippy cup on to the floor:( Good times when we are out of our high chair and playing. He's gotten most of his bday and Christmas gifts early because mom couldn't wait for him play with his new toys. He loves his ball popper and tricycle! That is all for now. My postings will most likely be once a month from here on out as it takes quite a bit of time that I don't seem to have anymore! Happy Holidays to each of you!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Jack!

Buddy and Nelly are great footstools. They are the perfect height to get up to the couch:)

Are you kidding me? I was happier playing with my cousins!

Gramps with Cruz and I!

Great Grandma Lucy had the best "scooter" that I loved playing with. I wish she would've let me take it home!

Rebecca and mom at her baby shower at the lake.

Lucy and Rebecca the shower. We were so happy she was able to make the trip.

Our attempt at a family pic in front of the tree. Not so much...

Gma & Gpa Farmery came to visit me Thanksgiving weekend. It was so good to see them again!
