Merry Christmas

It's a little late, but Merry Christmas! We had a wonderful Christmas with family. For Christmas eve we went to GG and Pa's and Santa came to visit. On Christmas day, we found our present and stocking stuffers from Santa, then went to Gammy and Pappie's (after almost getting stuck in our neighborhood), and finally to Aunt Stacie's and Uncle Steve's for our Richardson Christmas. I got lots of wonderful presents from everyone including my favorite - my very own vacuum.

Here's pictures of all the festivities:

Snow Days

This is old news now, but we had a lot of snow in December. I got all bundled up and went out sledding with mommy and daddy. I loved the snow even though it was cold. Mommy had to force me to go inside.

Here's a picture of me in my cute snow gear:


And here's a sledding video. It may not look like I'm enjoying it, but I loved it and wanted to ride over and over again. I also rode down the hill with mommy and daddy, but that was a bit too windy and cold for me.

17 Months Old

Sorry I'm a total blog slacker. I meant to post Happy Thanksgiving and some videos, but got too busy so I'll post them here. This last month was lots of fun, but I was a little grumpy for most of it because I have two front teeth (bottom) and a molar coming in. Not cool!

This month I became a really good helper and always help mommy unload the dishwasher and put away groceries. I take every item out of the bag and hand it to mommy to put away. I love to feed my stuffed animals and baby. I'm starting to eat better myself and use a fork pretty well, but decided I'm too big for my highchair and like to sit (stand, climb) on the big chairs.

My favorite activities this month were shooting people, working out with daddy, playing dress-up, talking on the phone, and doing tickle monster (videos coming...). I also had lots of fun at cousin Nadallie's birthday party and play dates with Krystiana and Kaila.

I also switched to one nap this month. It was tough for about a week and I was really tired, but now I love it 'cause it gives me more time to play. I usually sleep 7:30pm-7:30am and take a nap from 12-2.

Ok enough rambling, here's the pics and videos...

16 Months Old

I learned so many new things this month. I can now drink from a straw, spin in circles, speak Chinese (okay maybe not, but that's what it sounds like), make animal sounds (cow, dog, cat, monkey, owl, and thanks to Pappie, elk), put myself to sleep (just need a quick hug and kiss, no more stories or songs for me), and sign more, hungry, and down. I'm almost running, but it's more of a speed walk right now.

My favorite things to do this month were read my books, go for walks (especially when the crunchy leaves fell), and sit on chairs, pillows, boxes, or anything I can find actually.

Here's pictures from this month:

And here's a video of me spinning and showing my "where'd it go" pose (I usually do it better, but you get the idea):


I also learned how to take pictures this month. I can hold the camera and push the button all by myself, but I'm not very good at aiming yet. Here's some of my pictures where mommy and daddy helped me aim (I'll save you from the ones I aimed - the carpet isn't that interesting):
