Jingle Bells

I've been a very sweet girl since Sunday. I told Mama and Daddy that I loved them every couple of minutes at church. I'm a sweet little angel.I've been really enjoying my baby sister lately. She's fun to kiss and play with.I hope Santa is taking note of my current behavior. I only need to keep it up for a few more days and I'll get a tiger.Mama's boots are easier for me to put on than my own.I hope you enjoy my videos. Merry Christmas!

We're a pair.I went to a Christmas party while Mama and Daddy were in Chicago. Curly hair runs in our family.Great Grandma had some nice kitties in her room.I'm officially potty trained during the day. I wear panties during my naps and everything and haven't had any accidents. However, I refuse to go potty in public and have yet to do a big job in the potty. I reserve that for the overnight diaper. You wanted to know all that, right?

I love the freedom of not wearing pants. It allows me to do my yoga moves much better.I've also discovered that I love tights.Mama was going to take pictures of me for Christmas cards so I hid.We made a gorgeous gingerbread house yesterday.It looks just like the box.I practiced posing for Christmas pictures. This is my preferred outfit.Striking a pose in Mama's shoes. Check out my neck.
Life has been good. We're keeping very busy (especially Mama) so the blog has been neglected. Sorry about that! I'll try to take better naps so that she can keep you posted. Maybe I'll even look directly at the camera sometime. That would be a Christmas miracle.

Almost Three

I've been growing up tremendously in the last couple of weeks. My attitude has changed (not for the better), my sense of style is improving, and I'm learning to use the potty (FINALLY!). I pee in the potty when I'm awake. It's so cool. Sometimes I even wear my hair fancy.Refreshing.We hosted Thanksgiving at our house. My cousins enjoyed our new and improved basement. No furniture, all toys.Uncle Jason taught me how to use some new technology (an Ipad).I modeled Mama's shoes.Hailey and Macy stayed overnight. They got in on everything and it was so much fun. Hailey snuggled me while we watched our movie. My cousins loved reading "Everyone Poops" to me at bedtime and they helped tuck me in. We put our Christmas tree up on Sunday. I was a big help.We went to a Christmas event yesterday and it was really cold so I got bundled up.Charlotte had a good time too.Daddy took a bunch of pictures with a picture I made for him and I thought you might all enjoy seeing the trip my picture made. First, the picture went to the airport and had to wait for the plane to get ready.Next, the picture flew on the airplane.The picture helped Daddy find his luggage.The picture shared a chocolate with Daddy.The picture went to hours and hours of classes with Daddy.The picture hung out in the hotel with Daddy.The picture also made some new friends that are old friends of Daddy's.The picture tried to take a shower.The picture had a hearty breakfast.The picture was really thirsty and drank two pops.The picture was ready to come home so it jumped into the luggage.

We've missed Daddy this week, but had a fun time anyway. We spent the day at Grandpa and Grandma's house on Sunday. I played with the guys in the basement with Grandpa.Charlotte has really started to get grabby with my toys. She always wants what I have. However, she doesn't want the bop in the head that I'm willing to give her.We've been doing baths in the morning while Mama's in charge of them. No bed head for me! I found a coloring book with paints in the cupboard and begged Mama to paint. I have painted every day since and haven't made any messes.My big girl bed came on Tuesday. I LOVE it.I also got a new dresser for my clothes. My panties (that I never wear) even get their own drawer.Mama left the crib in my room because she wasn't planning to transition to my new bed until after Daddy got home.I had other plans. I insisted on sleeping in my new bed. I've done well with it so far. I fell out onto some pillows on the first night, but I went right back asleep. I haven't fallen since. I haven't wandered much either. The only problem has been mornings. On the first morning Bubba came in and woke me up since my door was open a bit. This morning I dirtied my diaper so I went and found Mama to help me out. It was 6:30 so I almost made it to 7. Not bad for a start!Besides changing to a big girl bed and learning to paint, I've also gotten brave. I allowed Mama to put money into the ride and I didn't scream and cry like a weenie the other night. Mama was so proud of me for being strong and having fun.Daddy has been sending me funny pictures while he's away. I hope he's enjoyed the pictures of me!
