Thanksgiving Weekend - Me & Ian

Ian and I were two peas in a pod this weekend as witnessed in these photos...wherever he was, I was. And vice versa.

Thanksgiving Weekend - Me & Emily

We headed up to Dallas this weekend for Thanksgiving...I got to meet my newest cousin, Emily.

For most of the weekend I only casually gave "baby" a look or two (what can I say? I was entraced by Ian...he's older and louder and all sorts of active). But here I am trying to take a good peek at Emily...I liked to try to rock her in her swing.

Me & Caroline & the Ducks

While in Conroe, I got to hang out with Caroline, the neighbors' granddaughter who was also visiting. I have met her many times...she is one day younger than me! We had a blast feeding the ducks together...we had all the "old people" laughing. Caroline would throw the bread and I would shout "Yeah!" over and over and cheer her on.

Look at all those ducks!

Note that on this video, despite the fact that Caroline (on the right) is dancing about, it is actually me yelling at the top of my lungs in excitement...I am weird! Oh and adorably cute (according to Mommy).

Conroe

We went to Houston/Conroe this weekend for a short stay (Daddy had a business function). So I got to have some unexpected Pops & Granny time at the lake.

Pops helped me feed cat food to the ducks...

I posed for pics on their deck (well ok, not posed so much as pointed around and attempted to do anything other than pose for a picture)...

And Pops showed me more ducks in the lake. All in all it was a great time.

Fun with Trina & Beau

T & B stopped by tonight to hang out. Little did they know, I would require their full attention the entire evening. Here is Trina doing some leg extensions with me as the weight. Ha ha.
And I had a lot of fun playing with Trina's scarf...here is me with a turban...

and here is me doing my best nun imitation.

Ummm..Should I Be Doing This?

Word Update

My new name is little Miss Chatterbox. Ok so it's not new considering I have been babbling for months but I now say so many words including: ball, bye, mama, dada (and sometimes i call him nana for some reason), kitty, duck, apple, oh no, uh oh, hi, car, chickie, flower, baby, night night, yeah, yay!, wow, cheese, nose, eye, ear, mouth, shoe, green, hat, juice, hot dog, cake, cookie, kick, cool, yummy and strawberries to name a few.

I also can sing EIEIO and do animal sounds (moo, quack, meow, woof woof, roar, an elephant and fish lips. And I also do the hand motions to the Itsy Bitsy Spider and Eric Carle's book From Head to Toe.

Just thought you might like to know more about my talents.

Discovery Green

These two things pretty much sum up my time at Discovery Green (a park in downtown Houston that I highly recommend to anyone -- big open fields, cafes, a playground, fountains to play in, and artwork to see) - FUN! I spent forever playing in the giant fountain and was super soaked by the time we left!

Hanging Out

We had a lot of chill time in Houston...so we caught up with Pablo who entertained me with many things including this bottle (yes it is a beer bottle but it had water in it!) that I was just fascinated with. Rosemary also came over to play with me. I let her read me some books (or rather insisted) and pretty much entertained her with all my running around like crazy. Thanks R for coming to see me!!!
