Santa Baby

Well, with my first Christmas right around the corner, my mommy figured I shouldn't be a Scrooge and put me in a Santa hat. It's not so bad at home, but do you know how embarrassing it is to go to Wal-Mart like this? The only saving grace is all the GREAT comments I get from the ladies doing their Christmas shopping!

Christmas Puppies

These are my doggies, Jasper and Sako. They wouldn't sit still for the picture so my mom had to give them treats in order for them to stay still long enough to take the picture. Jasper is old and cranky but he still likes to cuddle with me and my mom sometimes. Sako is lovable and just plain crazy! He licks my face every once and a while but other than that he doesn't pay much attention to me right now. His ball is far more important!

Christmas at the Cricks

I can tell that every year is going to be an adventure with decorations. We FINALLY got our tree up this week and it looks awesome. We also decorated our fireplace to show off all of the cards we've received. Cool!

Chubby Cheeker

I'm sure you've heard of Chubby Checker...I'm way past his time. Well, I'm considered the "Chubby Cheeker"....don't know if I'm musical yet, but I sure love music. It makes me smile and coo. This is a new picture that my mom took of me. She loves it because it shows off my chubby cheeks. She and my dad sure love to kiss 'em...they must love me!

The Doctor Visit

This is NOT a picture of me after I was at the doctor's! In fact I was wide awake and mortified at the thought that the nurse would put 4 needles in my thighs...2 on each side! I let her know very loudly that needles weren't my favourite thing. I think everyone in the office knew actually! The whole visit wasn't bad though because the doctor is really nice and she said that I am 24.5 inches long and weigh 13 pounds 4 ounces which puts me in the 98th percentile for girls my age. My mom and dad said that I had no hope of being short and I think they were right. My dad said that I am going to be a long legged, brunette, blue eyed beauty! I can hold my head up really well now and can push my chest up when I'm on my tummy. The doctor told my mom that she can't leave me unattended anywhere because I am close to rolling over from my stomach to my back. I am also following sounds really well and always look for my mom if I can't see her right in front of me. The best thing according to my mommy is my smile and my noises that I make when people talk to me. After all is said and done, I am looking forward to going to bed because I am sore, tired and very cranky...maybe that baby Tylenol will come in handy after all!

2 Month Milestone

I am 2 months old today! My mom and dad can hardly believe it. My eyes are getting more blue everyday just like my dad's. How cool is that? I weigh 13 pounds and I'm now wearing 3-6 month clothes! I love to listen to music and I smile a lot and "talk" when I hear my favourite songs. I like the fact that I can recognize some things now. I have to go to the doctor's office on Tuesday. My mom is going to take me and she told me that I am going to have a shot. Doesn't sound good...hope it doesn't hurt! I'll try to be brave. We are going to a Christmas party for my mom's work this afternoon so that everyone can see what a big girl I am now. I even get to see Santa...hopefully he doesn't scare me because I don't really like beards that much.

Snow Angel

It's the first of December! I am so excited to go to Canada for Christmas and meet the Canadian side of my family. Today is 29 degrees Farenheit (-1 Celsius) and it's blustery and snowing. We are taking a family outing to Red Lodge to the Christmas stroll tonight. I am looking forward to seeing all of the pretty lights and decorations with my mom and dad. Maybe I'll even get a sneak peak at Santa Claus!
