Class Photo

When I returned to baby school yesterday my teacher had a present for me. A framed photo of my whole class! It is so much fun to look at my teachers and friends when I am at home.

I am pointing to my favorite teacher - Ms Nitza I have no idea how they got 12 toddlers to all look in the same direction. The photographer must be a miracle worker.

Last Days in Ohio

I have been very busy my last two days in Ohio. I have gone sledding with my cousin Cole. I drove to Dayton to visit Duncan & Aine. I came back to Columbus to see my second cousins Grace, Jason & Genna. Tomorrow I get to fly on another airplane to go home to New Mexico. It was a lot of fun out in Ohio and cant wait to visit my family again. On a sad note my mommy and daddy were trying to turn me into a big brother on this trip to Ohio but found out today that it didn't work. I am sad for them but also happy to continue to be the center of their universe :)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Cookies for Santa

Today we all made cookies for Santa. We baked them and then decorated them. It was a lot of fun, like finger painting!

Our finished creations, four for Santa and the rest for us!

Carolyn's Pictures

Yesterday my friend Carolyn took some pictures of everyone at a garden in Columbus. These two are my favorites.

Piano Man

I liked the drums yesterday, but today I like the piano.

Drums

Today I spent the day with Nina and Ewan. It was fun, I got to play with different toys (my favorite was pushing a shopping cart around and around the house), watch princess movies, have baloney sandwiches and bananas, and best of all play drums. Nina and Ewan's daddy Noah plays drums and he let us practice. They are very fun but also very loud.

Science!

I went to a science museum today with my cousins. It was a ton of fun, I got to dress up, play with balls, look at x-rays, build things with giant legos, but the most fun was all the water play. I got to put on a rain coat and play in the water!

Baths are great, but baths with my cousins are even better!!

Short Video

Just a quick video I made this morning of Dexter playing around the house.  Today is our last day in New Mexico for a while, Dexter and I fly off to Ohio Wednesday and then Dan joins us next week.  Cant wait to see my family but not looking forward to the freezing Ohio winter!

Stepping Up

My first Christmas present arrived!  Since I will not be home for Christmas mommy said I can open it now!  Its a super fun stepstool so I can reach the bathroom sink and help wash my hands (also fun to carry around the house to use whenever you want to climb on things).  Thanks Gram!

Medical Updates

Medical Updates (easiest to hardest)


1) Dexter saw the dentist today.  He has 5 healthy teeth, exam took 30 seconds.  That picture is Dexter at the dentist's waiting area.

2) I saw the fertility doctors today for my ultrasound.  This was also quick, they just measured my endometrial wall thickness (8.8mm - perfect) and then sent that info off to my doctor in Ohio.  We are now locked in to our 12/17 embryo transfer at 11:30am

3) Dan spent the day in the ER.  His left eye has been hurting him for a few days and it finally hurt so bad he thought he should get checked out.  A CT-Scan and MRI later showed a large sinus infection which is likely pressing against his eye causing the pain.  He now has some meds to clear that up and hopefully his eye pain goes away soon. 

That was our day today!

Puzzle

 

It is important when your working on a puzzle to store all the pieces under your legs.  You never know when a dog or person will want to come by and steal your pieces.

Tooth #5

Tooth number five finally poked through today, and just in time for my dentist appointment next week.  I have been stuck at four teeth for months now.  I celebrated this new tooth by having a fever, taking a second nap and asking for lots of extra hugs.

First Real Haircut

It only took 19 months before I needed a real haircut.  Before this mommy had only trimmed around my ears.  You might be thinking, what hair!  But trust me it was getting long and in this house you need to have it short - military orders!  Mommy was going to take me to a fancy kids hair salon but in the end just cut my hair with the clippers and I stayed still through the whole thing.  She did trick me by putting on my favorite Signing Times DVD - she is so sneaky sometimes.
