18 and 19 Months

I know, I know, I'm so far behind. I'll try to get better about posting. I'm 19 months now (almost 20 actually) and spend most days running from mommy, learning new words, feeding myself, and seeing what I can get away with.

I occasionally get in trouble, but so far mommy and daddy haven't figured out a discipline that works well. Most of their attempts just make me giggle and I flash them my sly little grin. Lately mommy tries a "timeout", but I don't really get it. IF I sit where I'm supposed to for the required time, I get back up and do exactly what I was doing before; then repeat. Good thing most of the time I'm a sweet little angel.

I'm getting really good at talking and can say lots of words - mama, dada, GG, Pa, Nana (Krystiana), Kai, baby, kitty, duck, bird, moon, hat, ball, truck, boat, train, hand, eye, knee, teeth (my fave activity - brushing my teeth), hot, owie, help, chee (cheese), nunny (bunny crackers), juice, nana (banana), bowl, pu (cup), Twilight (my fave book), Bob (the Builder, my favorite show), t (tv), tan (crayon), pull (my request at the sight of any wagon, ride-on toy, etc.), dirt, and probably some more that I can't think of right now.

Here's some pics from the last couple months. There's not many because mommy's too busy chasing me to grab the camera.

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.

Watch Out For the Monster

..I'll be back soon to catch up on Christmas and 1.5 years posts...

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...
