Flushed with pride.

Don't get too excited. I'm just tryin' it out.

Happy New Year!

Today, Mommy and Daddy and I hosted David, Darle, Barb and Danny for a New Year's Day brunch. Mommy took this photo about an hour before our guests arrived. She set the table all by herself, but reassures me that, "Someday, this will be your job." I can't wait!


Last night, Mommy and Daddy and I went to a New Year's Eve party at Viki's house. They dressed me up in this groovy new outfit Grammy Bern gave me for Christmas. I was quite the little hippy chick!
Speaking of Christmas, it was a great one! Grammy and Papa Bern came to visit and brought about 8 million presents with them (actually, they shipped them ahead of time). I also received gifts from Grandpa and Grandma Parr, my cousins, and all my aunts and uncles. Oh, and Santa brought a few, too.


Her are a few pics of me cuddling up with various and sundry loved ones over the holidays. Enjoy!

Wake-up call

Daddy made the mistake of handing me his cell phone to distract me while he was changing my diaper. Big mistake. I proceeded to punch numbers randomly and ended up calling Grammy, Aunt Cathy and my babysitter, Darle, at 6:00 in the morning. I also may have inadvertently placed a couple of calls to Antarctica, or New Zealand -- Daddy won't know 'til he gets the bill!

Something to talk about.

I'm now consistently calling Mommy "Mama", and Daddy "Dada", and Felice "Kitty".

I can also utter reasonable approximations of apple, water, hi, flower, mail and ball.

And although I haven't said so yet, I totally understand what hair, nose, hands, juice, sippy, book, bath, hat, coat, apple, shoes, socks, fingers and toes are.

Wait 'til Mommy and Daddy find out I also know what #*%&^@**! means! Won't they be surprised!

Gobble!

Grandma and Grandpa Parr visited for a few days to help us celebrate "Thanksgiving"... a wonderful holiday that involves mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry relish, stuffing, rolls, gravy, apple pie, pickles, olives and, oh yes, turkey. I ate a little bit of everything and am still bursting at the seams!

I read books with Grandpa...

...and showed Grandma my favorite toy.

A grand time was had by all!

Like father, like daughter.

'Nuff said.

From parties to pigtails.

My goodness, it's been a long time since I posted! Two weeks ago, we went to visit Grandpa and Grandma Parr to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Aunt Dede made a sumptuous dinner, and I played with my cousins Emily, Lauren and Ellie. It was great!


Next came Halloween. I wore the costume Grammy Bern gave me. Mommy called me her "little honey".



Now we're up to the present. My hair is now long enough to wear in pigtails. Aren't they cute?


Of course, pigtails do make for some interesting "morning hair".
