Mommy & Daddy Snarls

SMILE!......

Visiting Ben & Linda

We went to exchange presents with Ben & Linda. I did not sit still long, but I did have to keep an eye on Ben so he wouldn't "get me". Linda needed help putting the lid on her water bottle. I had lots of fun.

Merry Christmas

Christmas was lots of fun! I got so many cool toys!





My very 1st tricycle









Pop-A-Cone.... YUMMY!










Monkey Kiss









My fav cuz, Alana









I love to read and I got lots of new books for Christmas













I don't know about this, Mommy.....

Dancing with Guitar Hero at Lynn & Tom's house

Checking out the ornaments

I really like our Christmas tree. I'm careful most of the time not to pull the ornaments off. Here are some of my favorites:



I really like rocking in the rocking chair, and I like horses. Here's the best of both in an ornament.

This is my SECOND Christmas. Gamma got me this one.








...and last, but certainly NOT least, Jesus IS the reason for the season. Happy Birthday Jesus!

Christmas Outfit

Check out the new Christmas dress Grandma O gave me. The stockings have the shoes built in. Too cool! I cannot wait to show everyone my new dress.

I'm a HAM!

I love to play dress up. Look at this beautiful headband I found!

..I've been very careful not to pull the ornaments off the tree, but I still have to touch them. My favorites are the eskimos, snowmen and angels... Oh yeah!.... and anything that has me or Mommy & Daddy's picture in it too!

Check out my outfit with the matching pants (not). I just love taking clothes out of my dresser drawer and putting them on..... layer upon layer.

LOOK! Ornaments!!!!

I'm 19 months today!

Christmas is very exciting for me this year. I love pointing out the pretty decorations and lights on all the houses. I want to touch all the pretty ornaments on my Christmas tree too.

Some new things about me:

I'm getting two more teeth now.... that makes a total of 8!

I'm being courteous by using the signs, "please and thank you".

I also am signing "drink" when I'm thirsty.

Mommy & Daddy must be careful what they say and do around me..... I'm a little mockingbird.

Southpark Santa Picture

Well, I didn't cry, but I did not smile either..... did you see the mug on this Santa guy?!? I don't think he has any teeth!

Smile!

This is what I do now when asked to smile for the camera.

I'm 18 months old today

I love the word "Bubb-ooooooos" (bubbles with puckered up lips), but I'm also saying a couple new words: "Mel-mo" (Elmo), not to be confused with "Elbow" (I found a new body part and I'll show 'ya, too).

Check out my house!

Daddy brought home a box from work. Mommy and Gamma decorated it. I'm having so much fun!

Look.... it's got a plaque that says, "House of Traci", a porch light, a doorbell, flowers and two windows!!!

PEEK!

Happy Halloween

I'm still not quite sure what I'm supposed to do on Halloween, but I loved visiting the neighbors and watching their reaction to my costume. I missed my afternoon nap so it was a very short night. I slept long and hard this night.





Daddy helped me with my costume














How do I look, Mom?








Oh yes.... I like it!

Pumpkin Patch Time

Mommy and Daddy took me to the pumpkin patch at The Farm. There was very few people there and we got to ride the hayride all by ourselves. We visited the petting zoo at the back of the farm, but I didn't want to touch the goats. Daddy did, though. I played on the swing and the slides and toured a hay-maze quite successfully. There was a corn-box (a sandbox with corn) that was a lot of fun. As you can tell from the pictures, I was quite tired. I think I would have had more fun if I was not so tired.




Gotta have a picture in front of the sign... it's tradition now.








You sure this is okay, Daddy? It sure is chilly today.










When I've got the "dead pan stare", you KNOW I'm tired.






Here's the corn-box Daddy buried my legs in.... too fun!

On the hayride back, I had to lean on my Daddy. I was SO tired.

New tradition.... gotta get a picture with the size chart.

Kitty Hawk Beach Vacation!

I was very nervous with the ocean at first, but by the end of the week, I was RUNNING to the water. Here's some of Mommy's favorite pics....:




Daddy and me just veggin' by the ocean








I am stylin' & profilin' in my new swimsuit!







Look! There's the ocean!!! Did you see it?!?

Okay, ocean..... here I come!!!










Me & Gamma checking out the beautiful sunset.

I'm 17 months old!

I'm a big girl now. My new words are "bubble" and "book" (but it sounds like booaah). I like to shake my head, "no" and I MEAN IT! Mommy & Daddy call me their human video recorder.

Olive Garden

I'm the Olive Garden Pasta Princess. Bring on the breadsticks!!!

16 Months Old

How much does Mommy and Daddy love me?........ THIS MUCH!!!

Indoor Playground

We found a great indoor playground just around the corner from our house. It had so many fun things to do. I was running from one thing to the other. Mommy & Daddy could not keep up with me.



This is my pet turtle













This was a blow-up obsticle course. It took me a while to learn to walk on this thing.


I had NO FEAR of this steep slide. Look at the big smile on my face!

Uppa Hands

(left)

Daddy says, "uppa hands" and this is what I do. I'm styling & profiling in the jogging suit my Gamma got me. What do you think?

(right)

Daddy put me on the counter to get a good picture. I'm not sure about this.....

Eeeeeeeee!!!

I've turned into a little copy-cat. Mommy & Daddy call this "Eeeeeeeee" because I tense up with both fists, grit my teeth, stretch my neck and stick my chin out. Everybody says it's too stinkin' cute.

Early Halloween 2008

I could not wait to try on my new Halloween costume. The video is rather long, but too cute not to share. The only full-length mirror we have is in the hall bathroom, so it was a tight squeeze. Check it out!!!

15 months old today!

I was being a ham while taking these pictures, so it was too hard to choose just one:




Here's the demure picture.... I'm not awake yet. But it shows how big I've gotten.






Here's the happy baby picture. I enjoy making Mommy & Daddy nervous because I would not sit still in the rocking chair.

..... and these pretty much speak for themselves......
