Yummy!!!

For lunch today mommy let me have some green bean casserole, it was so yummy! I followed mommy to her room with my bowl and showed her how good it was. She laughed when I licked the bowl clean.

Since mommy has been really sick the last couple of days daddy and I grabbed some BK for dinner. Then we all sat in the living room and watched Last Man Standing. Mommy laughed cause I shake my fries out like daddy does and when I was all out of fries I waved my french fry cup in daddy's face until he gave me some more.

Sickie Mickie

No surprise here--I went to visit the ER again last night. I have been a little bit sick and when mommy called my doctor's office they said I was required to go to the ER because they wouldn't make appointments for chest colds incase it was something bad. It was just a little upper-respiratory chest infection not a big deal. I'm recovering well though!

Oreos!

This morning for snack mommy let me have Oreos! YAY! I even got my own cup to dip them in.

I LOVE Oreos! Mommy says it is cause I am totally her daughter.

Sunday Shopping

Since I have had a cough mommy and daddy didn't want me to be in the nursery at church. That meant that I had to go to the early service --sooo early! Since I wasn't being quiet mommy and I had to leave so we didn't disturb anyone. Mommy and I ran some errands and then waited for daddy in the Lowe's parking lot. Daddy was working the soundboard at church so we had to wait for him to finish up before we could shop. I sat and waited in the car with mommy for a lloonggg time!

Mrs. Kelly's house

Today I was suppose to go see my very first movie-Arthur Christmas....but they were sold out of the tickets at the time that I could go. That was sad but it was ok because I went to Mrs. Kelly's house to hang out with her while Mommy, Daddy, and the grownups went to see it. I took a great nap at Mrs. Kelly's....isn't my outfit smashing?

Thanksgiving & Christmas Decorating

Today was Thanksgiving and we went to Mrs. Kelly's house. It was exciting because Ms. Savannah and Mr. Pete were there! After we left their house we came home and decorated for Christmas. It was so fun. Normally we would wait until tomorrow and do it after we wake up from our post-Black Friday shopping trip nap. Mommy and Daddy said since we are leaving in a few weeks we could decorate 1 day early. YAY! I was ready to help.

Daddy set up the tree while Mommy and I organized the ornaments.

One of our containers of ornaments is almost as tall as me!

Daddy helped me put up one of my ornaments.

And then mommy helped me put one up high!

I stood watch over the tall container of ornaments to make sure they didn't run away.

Then I started to pull them out and give them to mommy and daddy.

I kept giving them more and more ornaments!

I tried to hang some up by myself but it was hard since I didn't have any hooks.

I didn't want to wear the Santa hat but I liked playing with it.

I pushed my little duck around the living room and showed her all the decorations.

The Faces of ME!

Today, mommy and I went to the mall to wait for daddy. We found this cute little Elf hat-it is from the movie Prep N Landing. Mommy says maybe after Christmas we can get it on sale for next year. I sure hope so!

We shopped as much as we could but I finally told mommy I needed to sit down, so we waited for daddy in the car.

I got really upset when mommy told me I can't stick my hand in the toilet and lick off the water. She said it was sooo disgusting and dirty.

I borrowed mommy's fork at dinner time. I LOVE using forks and spoons cause I'm a big girl!

Cowgirl Hat

You might remember that I dressed up as a cowgirl for Halloween....I didn't really like my hat then but I love it now! I keep bringing it to mommy so she can help me put it on!

Aren't I the cutest little cowgirl ever? Also, I am 14 months old today!

Special Time

I was sad this weekend because I didn't get to see my daddy except for 1 hour on Friday. We had to leave for the lock-in as soon as he got home from work and then we were fast asleep when daddy left for staff duty. I was headed to church with mommy this morning to help her with the children's church registration desk when we passed daddy on the road. We pulled over so we could tell him "hi". He surprised me and mommy--when mommy put my window down he snatched me from my car seat and said I was going to go spend some time with him!! I was so excited! This is me at home.

Lock-In

Last night was the lock-in for kids at church. I'm not old enough to stay by myself but I got to go because mommy was one of the grown-ups in charge. At first I was shy but then I started playing with all the big kids and eating lots of snacks.

It didn't take long before I knew exactly where to go to get snacks! I was the only kid who was allowed to go in there. That was nice cause it meant I got to get the good stuff and not just popcorn and oatmeal cookies.

I stayed awake until 1030. Mommy figured that when I started dragging my blanket around it was probably getting close to me needing to go to bed.

I had a hard time falling asleep cause I had so much junk food. My tummy was really upset (I even threw up) so mommy brought me home at 130am. I was sad I didn't get to stay the night but I was happy to be in my own bed and a quiet house.

I felt so much better when I woke up this morning!

Cheerie Cheerioes

After I ate all the cheerios in my bowl I decided I wanted some more from the box....

I finally got it all figured out!

Cucumbers, Ranch, & Baby

Lately I have been bringing my baby to the table with me. I just love all of my babies. When I was at Target I saw a booster chair that had a special seat for my dolly...maybe Santa will bring it to me! Can you find my baby in this video? Don't my cucumbers and ranch look yummy?

Cap'n Crunch!

Daddy's favorite cereal is Captain Crunch with Crunch Berries! Mine is Cheerios but when I see daddy eat his I always ask "pea"! Tonight we had a little bedtime snack.

My First Cold Stone Trip

Tonight daddy surprised me and mommy by taking us to Cold Stone. It was the first time I have ever been there. They have yummy ice cream. I got to have vanilla with Reese's in it.

They played music in there so I danced to it....I was hyper from my ice cream.

My hyperness wore off before we got home....

Christmas Pictures!

Mommy and I went to walmart early this morning to try and find a top and tights to match my Christmas tutu. They had very limited Christmas color stuff (aka only red!) so we got a red turtleneck and red tights. Mommy says it is a lot of red but the giant green bow on my tutu sort of balances it out. If she finds green tights or  a better red top she might buy it for me.

Here is a sneak peek at some of the family Christmas pictures we took. In a few weeks I get to see Santa and I'll post that picture. Mommy and daddy are wondering if I will like him this year or not...

I would like to say Happy Veterans Day to a bunch of people (I'll try to remember everyone)

Painting and More Teeth

First off---my top two molars came in! YAY! That means there is only one left trying to come in. Great news!

I was so excited when we got home from hobby lobby that I went and got the smock my mommy made me. I walked all over the house showing it off so everyone knew we were going to paint.

I was so happy when mommy said that we could paint right away!

Mommy said that we had to clean my hands really good!

Then I got to play with the paint!! YAY!

My smock has paint all over it now!

 Look at my eyes!!!

AH! Look what a mess I am. 

Shopping!!

Today mommy and I went to get stuff for our Christmas crafts. It was so fun! I got to walk all over the place! I even got to carry mommy's clutch. It is the perfect purse size for me. I kept pushing it up on my shoulder when I walked...sometimes mommy had to help me though.

After we shopped at hobby lobby for a while we went to the PX so we could kill some time before we went to see daddy. I was so good. I helped push the cart and when I saw other people knock stuff down I picked it up and put it back...all on my own! The manager and a few of the employees saw me and asked mommy if I could work there!

Oh, and mommy said I should let everyone know that if they are planning on sending anything to the house for Christmas it should be here before the 19th of Dec or after Jan 1st.

A Day of -ing!

After breakfast I decided to do some reading to the oogies:

After that I decided to do some finger painting:

Then after daddy got home I showed him my singing....I sang abunch today and wanted to show him how great I'm getting.

Teeth, Teeth, Teeth!

Yesterday I went to see my very own personal dentist.....Gina! She checked my mouth and said that I now have 4 molars and 1 incisor coming in! WOW! 8 & 9 pushed through the gums already this week now we are just waiting on the last 3 molars to surface! Can you see my teeth?

Deek got to come home from the hospital yesterday too! That was great news. The vet told daddy that he thinks Deek is almost 100% pure American Stratfordshire. He also said that Deek is a totally different breed than the American Pit Bull. Deek will actually grow almost twice the size of a pit bull--and we just thought he'd be a little bigger! WOW! Mommy and daddy said they don't have to worry about unwanted visitors with 2 big dogs and 1 HUGE dog....and they don't have to worry about me trying to date. I don't know why I would though...I am gonna always be daddy's girl!
