Flashback Sundays

Look at what a chunk-ster I used to be! Before we got the highchair Mommy would feed me in the bouncy seat.

Here is a snap of the first time Mommy hosted playgroup at our house. We used to just sit and play and then take a nap while the mommies had fun. Now we get into a sorts of trouble and there is no down time for the mommies.

We all used to go for lunch after Little Maestros class on Fridays. Sometimes I could wait until I got home, or at least in my stroller for my nap, but it looks like this day the highchair made a good substitute.

Brunch At Home

Michael and Rachel came over for a bagel brunch today and I had so much fun catching up with my number one fan. Michael was happy to come over because he loves Christmas trees and Daddy said he could hang an ornament up. Here he is putting up the mouse, he could barely contain his excitement.

After brunch, I really bonded with Michael. We had a good time reading about good New York City walks with kids and looking at all the funny pictures.

We had so much fun together that my number one fan felt a little left out...

But I still love her. Here we are having a bye bye hug before I take my nap.

Gold Star

When Daddy does nice things for Mommy she likes to tell him that he deserves a gold star or a yummy cookie. So the other evening, it was our turn and we gave her a gold star for our Christmas tree. Here I am admiring how sparkly it is.

I was so impressed by the sparkles that all I could say was ooohhhh and aaahhhh. I showed Daddy what a beautiful star it was and was very excited when he told me that I could put it on the tree.

Daddy and I make such a great team, he does all the heavy lifting and I do all the work that requires little hands. Here we are getting the star on the tree on our first try. I can't wait to decorate the tree this weekend!

Frosting Fun

I had so much fun yesterday because William and Marci invited us over to bake and decorate Christmas cookies. The mommies baked 5 dozen and the babies decorated some of them. Here I am having some fun frosting Sara's hand.

I tried to shake some sprinkles on the cookie as pants, but they ended up getting all over the table. The clean up crew had their work cut out for them.

My favorite part of sugar cookies is the frosting. I loved dipping the cookie in frosting off the table and then eating it. Mommy thinks I ate around 2 cookies that way, I think it was more around 4!

Here I am showing off my new goatee fashioned out of frosting and sprinkles! Thanks William and Marci for all the fun and sorry for the mess!

Christmas Tree

Yesterday we went to pick out our first Christmas tree. When I came back home later that day I was so happy to see that it was delivered. The first thing I did was welcome the tree to our home. I love the way it smells!

Since the tree was a little crooked, Mommy needed to wait for Daddy to come and fix it before we could unwrap it. Here I am taking a pic with my 5ft. friend.

Daddy came home and was impressed with our pick! He unwrapped our friend and moved her to a different location. I can't wait to decorate and make her beautiful.

Small Apartment, Lots of Friends

Yesterday Mommy and I hosted some friends at our apartment. I had not seen my friends in such a long time because of all my traveling, so we had so much fun catching up. Here are some of us showing off our pearly whites.

Santa Is Not My BFF

This weekend my parents took me downtown to visit Santa. I get my memory from Daddy, so I don't remember much from last year and didn't remember Santa at all. This unfortunately led to a less than pleasurable chat with him.

Santa has a lot of experience with kids, so he was pretty resourceful and gave me a lollipop and let me hold his jiggle bells.

However, I'm very familiar with trickery, so when I realized what was going on I let everyone know that I was not happy. Not even Mommy sitting next to me could remedy the situation. We are all hoping for a better experience next year!
