Another Haircut

Yesterday I decided to cut somethings. I started with my fingernails, toenails, and then my hair. Mindee was the one that cut it this time. She did a really good job even though I wouldn't hold still at all!

The best thing about getting a haircut is that I get to go to lunch with Daddy afterwards.

No Pants

So I have gotten over the "No socks" phase... now on to bigger and better things! Pants! Mom had just wrestled me into my clothes for the day and put me in the crib for a second. By time she got back, I had taken off my pants! I am getting pretty talented.

Rocking Grandpa

Yesterday I was asked to babysit Mimi and Grandpa. Of course I agreed because they are really well behaved when I tend them. Well... it was past Grandpa's bedtime, so I decided to rock him to sleep. I think I did a pretty good job. Thanks for letting me tend you Mimi and Grandpa!

Bouncing with the Snowman

Cold Outside

Aspen prepares to go outside at Grandpa's. Yes, even Aspen has to be bundled up like the kid on the movie Christmas Story.

Wrapping Paper

Grandpa likes playing with the wrapping paper too!

Missing You

This year Matthew, Lisa, Justin, and Brittany weren't able to be with us for Christmas. We missed you guys, but were thinking of you.

Christmas Eve!

On Christmas Eve, we set our presents out into piles of who they belong to. This is the Laraway haul. Can you believe it! Look how cute I am in my camp chair!

So Many Toys!

This Christmas thing is a blast! I got so many new toys! Thanks everyone!

Wagon

Look what Santa gave Grandma for Christmas! A huge wagon! I have been wanting to pull Grandma down the road, but it was too rocky. Now I can! Yipee!

Daddy?

I am adopted.

Snowed In

On Christmas day we got snowed in. Daddy didn't dare to take our car through Sardine Canyon. We didn't get to go to Mimi's. I was really sad about that. But, at the same time... if you are going to be stuck somewhere, it might as well be Grandma's!

Second Christmas!

Since we weren't able to get to Mimi's on Christmas day because of all the snow, everyone went to Mimi's on Saturday for a second Christmas. Grandpa and Mimi gave a new carseat! I grew out of my old one, so I needed a bigger one! Boy is it comfortable!

I was also excited to see Bosley puppy. He is alot smaller than Aspen... just my size.

Mount Everest

Whoa! I can say that I am now officially the first 10 month old baby that has successfully crawled to the top of Mount Everest.

Sledding Fun!

Grandpa took all the grandkids sledding. I liked riding around in the sled with my cousins Kate and Livie while Grandpa pulled it.

Mush! Mush! Grandpa!

Picnic Time

Aspen always enjoys going to Mimi's. She loves to play with everyone and lay on the picnic table.

Just as Fun!

The box that my carseat came in was just as fun!

Mush! Mush!

Aspen helped pulling Kate and Olivia around on the sled. Mush! Mush!

Favorite Things

My two favorite things: Daddy and Grandpa's watch.

I Looked Out the Window and What Did I See?

I wasn't big enough to see out the window by just standing up, so I moved my truck so I could kneel on it to see out. Sometimes I stand on it, but Mommy says no, no, so I get down and just kneel. I like to wave and say hi while looking out, even though there is no one out there. Sometimes Aspen joins me. My favorite is when it is snowing. I could watch it snow all day!

Payback

Ha! Mommy made Grandma take her picture by the Christmas Tree.

I volunteered to be in the picture with her though.

Five Generations

Wow... Not many kids can have a five generation picture taken.

Birthday Breakfast

So on Thursday I turned 10 months old. Geez, I am getting big. To celebrate, Grandma took me to breakfast.

They tried to feed me eggs. Well, I tasted them, and decided that they were yucky... so I threw them on the ground.

Birthday Drink

I was getting a drink, and I spilled. But don't worry, I sucked it up off the table.

Playland

After I was done eating, Jillian asked if I would go and play in the playland with her. I think Auntie Jiggy might be getting a little big for the playlands... but I of course humored her. I took her through the tunnels and down the slide. I think at one time she was doing smushies on the windows. She is so funny.

More Fun

Later that night I got to go out to eat with my other grandma and aunties. There was Erin, Michelle, Mandy, and Mimi. We went to Bajio. I ordered rice and beans... oh yum!

Help From Aspen

Sometimes when I am given a bottle, I won't hold still long enough to drink it (I just have to play). Most of the time Mommy holds me in place, but Apsen helped out this time. Thanks Aspen.

Cheese!

Here is my picture by the Christmas tree. CHEEESE!

Story Time

I love to read stories to my Daddy. He is just learning how to read. I help him sound out the big words.

Just Wanted to Say Hi

Chili

My favorite food right now is still chili. I chow down every time Daddy gives it to me. Mommy tries to only give it to me on the weekends when Dad is home to change my nappy.

Nanny? Please?

Auntie Jillian had a sleep over at my house last night. She is going to work at Great Harvest during Christmas, so she came over for awhile. It was great to wake her up in the morning. I pinched her nose, and then climbed under the covers with her.

She really helps Mommy while she is here. She played with me at church which was a lot of fun. And guess what?! She cleaned the house while we were at Mimi's. Can you believe that?! (Let me tell you, that is no easy task.)

Mommy says that she wants a nanny/maid now. I would like to hire Auntie Jiggy. How much do you charge Auntie? Or will you do it for free since I am so cute? You can sleep in my room. We can get bunk cribs!

Birthday Celebration

Today we went to Mimi and Grandpa's to celebrate Grandpa and Kate's birthday.

Unfortunately, I was a big grump. I missed my morning nap because of church, so I was tired. We had to go home early to put me to bed. Next time I will be better. I promise.




I like going there because Olivia helps me walk. She is just the right size to hold on to my arms.

Tradition

Mommy has a long running tradition of having to get a picture in front of the Christmas tree. So, here we are. CHEEEESE!

Play Group

On Wednesday we went and played at Mikey's house. It was really fun. All of my friends were there: Reese, Brady, Ladd, Grace, Max, and of course Mikey.



Mom thinks it is funny to see us all crawling around chasing each other. Most of us are really close in age. Reese is 10 days older than me, and I am only ten days older than Mikey.

First Christmas Present

Jillian gave me my first Christmas present. I loved everything about it! It was wrapped so great and had a wonderful bow on it!

But wait! It gets better! Once I was done playing with the paper and bow, I realized there was a cute outfit in the box. I will be so handsome.
