Tonight Uncle Damian and Aunt Sharia came over and we went to dinner at Shinsei. After dinner we went to Highland Park Village to catch our carriage ride that my daddy booked for us so we could look at Christmas lights in Highland Park.
I loved sitting on Sharia and Damians lap-looking at the lights! I sang the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" for most of the ride and threw in a little "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" every now and then. I fell asleep as soon as we got back in our car after the ride.

Dinner and a carriage ride

Baby Alive
Baby Alive..where to start. Today mommy decided we try our new baby alive that Aunt Heather sent to me. Mommy opened the package of food and read the directions. The directions said to mix the food with a tiny amount of water and feed the food to the baby. In between each spoon full-you have to give the baby water. Easy enough....
We started making the food which turned out to be a mustard yellow goo. We fed the food to the baby and she wanted more! We kept feeding the baby and giving her water all while the mustard yellow is dripping down her face.
All of a sudden-she had to pee! How exciting. Except that once she went pee she only had one diaper that came with her. We changed her diaper and you will never guess what happened next-she had to poo again..and then pee, and poo, and pee. She went pee on her potty and on the floor!
We really like this baby alive but we need to go to the store tomorrow and buy a ton of diapers because this baby won't stop going pee. What a great business idea!
I accidentally duplicated a video on the beginning on this next video but the rest of the video is new!

Christmas Part 2-Afternoon
We drove over to Gigi's house to have our second Christmas. On the way mommy put a CD in that she gave me and I sang two songs that I love - "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "The Wheels on the Bus." What fun-daddy made his windshield wipers move when it said they go "swish swish swish" in the song!
Once we arrived - we ate breakfast. The breakfast was so good! After breakfast we started opening presents. I got so many neat things!
Sharia and Damian got me this dinosaur that I can ride and feed! I was a little scared of this dinosaur at first but am warming up to it a bit. I still will not ride it! They also gave me a book and some other cute little things like an elmo art set with colors and coloring books.
Gigi and Raul gave me a kitchen set that I just love. I like all of the compartments like the microwave, the sink, the refridgerator, the drawer, and cabinets. I could cook and rearrange things for hours. They also gave me an art table, a cute dress, etc.
I had a great time eating Nila wafers with all 4 of the dogs-I get right in the middle of the dogs and beg for them to Gigi. I also ate banana pudding after I had my dinner which was turkey, stuffing, green beans, and a salad.
At the end of the day I was pretty tired because I refused to take a nap all day. I played a little with Chunky which was loads of fun. I fell right asleep on the way home. Once we got home mommy dressed me for bed, brushed my bed, and she held me and sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" - I sang with her. I fell asleep in about 5 minutes and am sleeping now.
Thank you everyone for making my second Christmas so much fun. I have a lot of things to do when I wake up tomorrow and can't wait to start!

Christmas Part 1-Morning
Merry Christmas! This morning I woke up and mommy, daddy, and my papa were all standing around my bed and told me that Santa came. After mommy changed my diaper daddy took me into the kitchen to show me that Santa ate his cookies and had the milk that dad left him.
We headed into the dining room and I saw all of my presents. We opened presents and it was so much fun. Mommy wanted me to rip the paper off of the gifts but I really did not understand that-so my parents had to open all of my gifts.
As they would open each one-I would play with them...or sometimes I would get stuck on certain toys and not even look at the others.
Cosmo sent me a white piano which I sat at and played. I really like the stool that goes with this piano. He also sent me a doll that is called Baby Alive that pees and poops.
Nanna and Papa gave me an Elmo Live Doll, a highchair, ironing table, and crib for my baby dolls, some cute clothes from Gymboree, a glo worm doll to put me to bed, a cute book, and some other neat things.
Whitney gave me a really cute puppet theatre and puppets to play with.
Mommy and daddy bought me some Wii games, a table to color at with 4 chairs, an ice hockey game, books, The Laurie Berkner Band Cds and DVD's, a digital camera, 2 aprons, more colors, and some other things that I really can not remember right now because I am exhausted!
After opening my presents I said good bye to my papa and we got dressed and headed over to Gigi and Raul's house for my second Christmas. To be continued....

Merry Christmas Eve
After picking up the turkey today with mommy and daddy - I fell asleep and went straight to bed with no dinner. Daddy wanted to make cookies for santa with me but that is not happening. After I went to sleep mommy and daddy had dinner and went to work on putting my gifts together and put them under the tree. I have not seen them yet but as soon as I wake up in the morning I will have a big surprise for me because not only will I have all of these presents but my Papa will be here! After we open our presents in the morning - mommy, daddy, and I are heading over to see Gigi, Raul, Damian, and Sharia for my second Christmas. I am so lucky! Mommy will take a lot of pictures because she doesn't remember much from last year!

The Park
Today I went to the park with mommy and daddy. My parents turned around and I had dirt all over me-I called it poo poo. Daddy thinks I am scared of heights. When mommy would take me up on the playground...I would act very scared. I went down the slide with daddy which was fun.

Sleeping Bag
Mommy bought me a new sleeping bag. Isn't it cute? I like to put my babies in it and say "Shhhhhh night night baby."
In the video below I am singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." I know some of the words and some I just make up. Sometimes I add Nino to the song or baba.
Mommy and daddy took me to look at Christmas lights last night after dinner. I would say "more" because I didn't want it to end and I would also say "colors" and "more colors" when I saw colorful lights on houses. I loved to see Santa and called his reindeer dogs.
Sometimes I like to say "mommy daddy, daddy mommy, mommy daddy, mommy daddy" over and over.
Tonight I ate pizza-my favorite food in the world!
I am sleeping now. Mommy told me Santa was coming in two days to see me..I am so excited!
