37 Weeks

Well I am 37 weeks today.

I would be happy if Clare came

any day now, but my babies like to cook,

so I think I have a few more weeks!

On Sunday night I had contractions for 2 hours,

so Greg drove us to the hospital at 12:30am,

only to be sent home and be back in bed at 2am.

Oh well. She'll get here some enough.

I had an appointment yesterday and

I am dilated 1cm and 60% effaced.

37 weeks with Clare.

The Day After Christmas

The day after Christmas we just hung out,
did a little shopping and......
went to a train park!!!

Riding the giraffe with my Dad.

Checking out the ducks with my Dad.

Family picture on the train.

On the fun train ride!


On the tire swing by myself and with Auntie M.


My first candy cane!

Christmas Day

Christmas Day was fun for me!
Some of the highlights...

Tree first thing in the morning.

My Handy Manny "Hammy" Tools
so I can work with my Dad.

My shopping cart, which has
not been empty since I got it!

My Aqua-doodle, I like to draw and scribble!

Opening presents is fun!!

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve I headed over
to my Grandpa and Grandmas house
to open some presents and hang out
before we went to my Great Grandma and
Grandpa house for dinner and more presents!


I got a camouflage sleeping bag that rolls into a backpack.
I love it!
The whole time my Mom was helping
me unwrap it, I keep saying "Wooow, wooow!"

I got lots of other great things,
along with my first set of Lego's.

I got some books and baby dolls at the Great's house.

Grandpa reading to me.


Quality time with Mom and Dad.
Who is more fun??

Christmas Came Early

Last night after I went to bed,
Santa came to my house a few days early.
We decided a few weeks ago to have
our own mini Christmas before we went
up to Phoenix to celebrate with the family.
So when I woke up this morning,
I had all sorts of stuff waiting for me!!
The best thing was the kitchen from Gigi and Grandpa.
I actually had a hard time opening
anything else up after I saw it.....
but I got it done slowly but surely.

I got some stuff to go in my kitchen,
some crayons, coloring books,
sheets of paper in an owl book,
a puzzle and some Mickey Mouse socks!!
Clare and I even got matching pj's from our friend Ethan!!!



Before I came out.

Right after I came out,
still too frozen to touch anything!



Reaching in my stocking....

... out came some Mickey socks!!

Daddy helping me get all the food and
pots and pans out for my new kitchen.


I love my new kitchen!

Me and Mom.

My Mom and Dad had a good day, too.
My Mom got a new watch and my
Dad got a new backpack that he had been wanting.

Casserole Christmas Party

My Auntie M bought a new house a few
months ago and tonight she had a party to celebrate!!
We went over early and I had a yummy
dinner and some good cookies for dessert.
My cousin JD was there and we raced and
chased in the back yard and there was a
fire pit that I would blow on because my Mom
said it was hot and that is what I do when something is hot!
Lots of people thought I was super cute.....
aren't they so smart?
I had another late night, up until 8pm.
I did really good, but then it was just time to go!!

Snacking on some veggies and chips.

My family by the tree.

Running around with JD outside.

I really liked my cousin Connor.
The funny part is, when Connor was my
age he liked my Dad just as much as I like him.

A Visit With Santa Then a Picnic

Today Santa came to visit the library,
so I showed up to see the big guy!
It didn't go as planned....

Cute outfit for Santa.

Being shy behind my Mom when I saw Milo.

Autumn and I playing before the Christmas stories got started.

Then there was a knock at the door
and the big guy that says "Ho, ho, ho!" came in.
Its a good thing I was in the corner playing
with the ornaments on the tree,
because I just stayed there.
I would have stayed in the corner the entire
time he was there, but my Mom dragged me out....


Not having it!

Get me down from here!

Another attempt with my Mom, still didn't go well.
I really didn't appreciate all the laughing my Mom was doing.
So rude!


The four kids from my story time.
Ivan, me, Autumn and Milo
(he liked him even less than I did!)

After that, we went out to the park to play

and have a picnic lunch with Autumn and her Mom.
Autumn and I were not really interested
in lunch or listening, to say the least....

Running around outside.

It looks like I am in jail, that's where my
Mom said I should have been today.
I guess I wasn't on my behavior....

Zoo Trip

Today I went to the zoo with Autumn.
I hadn't been in a while because of Thanksgiving
and it was cold and windy here for a few days,
so it was good to get back into the swing of it!!
As usual, we just ran around and
screamed and had a good time.

Checking out the elephant.

The zoo was pretty slow today,
so my Mom thought we could sneak into
where Santa sits during zoo lights and use his chair.....

Oblivious to anything else when we are together...



Mom and me.

Autumn and her mom, Sarah.

Matching shoes!

Dinner At The Chafins

Last night we had a spur of the moment
talk about dinner with the Chafin's and we went.
I went with my Mom at 5 and my Dad
came later when he got off of work.
Can you believe I stayed until 8??
I was in a pretty good mood, too.
My Mom brought my pj's so that I
could get right in bed when we got home.
The ride home was good, I didn't fall asleep,
although I was close.
Also, I had to hold my Mom's hand the whole drive.
Good thing we live close by!
I missed hanging out with my cousin,
so it was good to see him!

Playing with JD's farm and animals.
He makes really good animal noises!

Playing with Handy Manny.
I really like him a lot, too.
I like his tools because my Dad has all the same tools!

Climbing the stairs.
I can go up, but not down by myself.
I wouldn't stop going up so I got put in time out a few times...

Playing with my Dad and JD.


Thanks for dinner Jeremy and Gris!

M-I-C-K-E-Y

How I love you!!
I love when you sing and dance at
the beginning and the end of our half hour together.
The middle part.... ehh.
