You better not try to take my eggs!!!!

I love hunting for Easter eggs!! I am so ready to find some eggs!!


Geting ready to go Easter egg hunting! I was a little scared of all the excited people, and was starting to warm up a little to the idea of hunting for eggs. I practiced several times yesterday-- and I really like it!!

Here I have just entered the room where the eggs are hidden for my age group. I am starting to get excited!!

Putting my eggs in my basket--see the shelf behind me-- I got all the eggs off that shelf, and no one helped me!

Going in for the last egg!

Look at all that loot!! Once I realized there were no more eggs left, I didn't want to leave the room, and tried to put all the eggs back on the shelf so that I could collect them again. When mom and dad finally made me leave the room- I cried! I can't wait until next Easter!!

Here I am with my friend Aubrey. Our mom's wanted us take a picture together, but I didn't want to. Directly after this picture was taken, I ran to my mom and cried. Then, Aubrey M., being the nice friend that she is, came over to me to say hi and check out my eggs. She started to touch my eggs, and I thought she was trying to steal them--- let's just say that I made sure that no one else would dare to touch my eggs again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here Comes Peter Cottontail.....

Well, mom and dad just didn't have faith in me to take a great picture with the Easter Bunny on my own this year, so they intervened. I fell asleep on the way there, so they let me sleep a little while, and then they placed me in the Easter Bunny's lap while I was still sleeping. They poked me a little to wake me up, and I didn't realize I was on his lap. Then they tickled me, and that is when they took this nice picture of me!! And, the great news, I never did cry, and I even gave the Easter Bunny "five"!! Happy Easter!

Aubrey is deathly afraid of photographers!!!

This is the favorite picture, I was patty-caking for this one!!


Here I am such a happy girl!!


Sweet little face.


I was a little sad right before this picture was taken.

More Piggy-Pops!!

How's it going up there?! Look how long my hair's getting!!

I'm on the run!!

I think I'm so big when I have a water bottle to drink out of!!

Look how good I'm growing......

I got this SMASHING outfit from my aunt Kristin and uncle Josh. I love the capri look on my chubby little legs!! Thank you!

I just LOVE black beans!! Then, I get tired while I'm eating, and I start wiping my eyes and face, and, well, you see what happens!!

I am finally able to somewhat push my popper around with out falling over!!! I had such a hard time before because I thought I could put my weight into it, but I found out that if I did that, I would fall flat on my face!!!

I like to curl up in a blanket in my mama's old rocking chair and watch Baby Einstein videos. Now I am starting to really enjoy Sesame Street, though. I particularly like Big Bird and Elmo.

You can't see my book shelf here, but I am choosing a book to read. That is what I mostly do these days, read book after book, after book, after book. I like to back up to whoever is sitting on the floor and plop down on their lap with a book of MY choice!!

I'm such a happy girl!! As you can see here, I can now run. I practice by running up and down the hallway!

Here I am, just a playing away before leaving to go to the babysitter in the morning.

Uncle Josh's Birthday

I love my aunt Kristin!! She's great!!

Me, my mom, and two uncles-- aren't we a good-looking bunch?

That Grandpa-- he's real great!! I really look up to him!

I love seeing my grandma. She always has all kinds of ideas to keep me entertained!

Don't I have a nice profile?

Over the weekend.....

Amy and Josh came to visit me-- I got to play with them in the snow for the first time ever.
I'm just resting and taking a break from being Stevie Wonder.

My uncle Josh's 25th birthday party! I loved the chocolate cake!

This is my Stevie Wonder imitation!!

This is the first snow I have seen-- too bad it didn't stick!

Look how long my hair is getting!!

My mama took this picture of us herself, on a day that I stayed home sick.

I love to pull things out of my diaper bag!!

I can really get to laughing!!! My dad should be a stand-up comedian!!


I love to wear hats backwards on my head. I just walk around with them on, read books, etc...

A Whole Bunch of Pictures

My friends Victoria and Kaylei came over the other day. This picture turned out good with Victoria. We pretended that they were my big sisters, and they fed me and gave me drinks of my juice. I like playing with them!!

Here I am all snuggled up sleeping in my blanket. Notice the teeth marks on the top rail of the bed-- a little vampire in the making!!

Who me?! I'm a sleeping angel!!
I have been getting into more things these days-- I think I could make a pretty big mess with this stuff!!

Sometimes when I won't eat what mom and dad are eating, my mom lets me lick the spoon in the hope that I'll want more! It didn't work this time!

I love to play with Skyla and Love a Lot.

Another favorite past-time that I have is to sit at the computer with dad and play with the calculator!! Maybe I'll be a budget-queen- the female version of my dad!

Every once in awhile my mom gives me "Piggy-Pops". We'll call them "Pig-tails" when my hair doesn't just "Pop" right out of them.

Some friends gave me this bus because their kids out-grew it. I love to go upstairs to play in it, and will stand at the bottom of the stairs and bang on the gate and say "Up!!!"

I loooooove to talk on the phone. I always press the buttons, and have accidentally called several different people.

The Nature Center

I'm on my way to the Nature Center for the very first time!! I don't need this silly hat!

Picture with dad. They said I did need the hat, after all!!

Picture with mom--I'm more interested in this thing on the side of the stroller.

Wow!! A dead coyote head!! Gross!

It sure is green in Missouri in January! ;)

Outside in the REAL Missouri weather in January!
