Potty!

I sat on my potty for the first time last night. Nothing happened, but I sat there for awhile whilst Mommy ran water in the sink as an incentive. This exciting event is slowly becoming part of my daily routine. You can be sure Mommy will let you know when something actually happens.

Christmas To-Do

Here I am in my beautiful Christmas dress - we went to church Sunday night, and I got to play with some older kids. Apparently, I was the only little one in the nursery area. So they were all at my beck and call.







(Mommy's sick, so this is as good as it gets)



Christmas morning, we opened our gifts. What a to-do! We didn't take pictures of everything - rather, here's a sample...

Christmas Party

Last night, Mommy and Daddy's kinship had a little Christmas gathering - which frankly, I could care less about.

The exciting news was all the food I got to eat...

olives - green and black
ham & cream cheese balls
artichoke hearts (not so much)
chips
rice krispie treats

and who knows what else Granny slipped me. It was so delicious!

Today, I'm tired. Possibly from all the eating last night as they didn't keep me up past my bedtime.

Goings On

Mommy's a slacker - she hasn't been feeling so well this week...

Last night for dinner, I had mini corn-dogs, a fruit bar, and some frozen peas. Obviously, I had mustard with my corn dogs. However...while I was waiting for them to cool off enough, I enjoyed dipping my fruit bar in the mustard. Mommy tried really hard to not look grossed out. After all, there's nothing *wrong* with eating fruit bars and mustard...

Also, I had a bite of her 3 Musketeers bar. It was like a party in my mouth.

Continuing with crappy food - she let me have a peanut butter cookie after dinner. Awesome! Now I know what that container is on the table, and I'm asking for it all the time. Mommy is not giving in though. She's a tough one.

No pictures - we're having battery related camera problems again...

For lunch today, I'm having shrimp flavor ramen noodles with tuna and frozen peas. Mmmm. If Mommy could stomach it, she'd let me have mustard with it, but instead, I just got some Bragg's Liquid Aminos. That's good too.

I've kind of been a toot this week. A little bit teething, a little bit tired of Mommy and the house all day, a little bit natural tootness.

Mustardy Goodness

I really like mustard - hot mustard, regular mustard, you name it. If I've got left over mustard on my plate, I will dip anything into it, or just eat it straight. For example...I had mini corn dogs for lunch with mustard. The corn dogs are gone...but hey, I've still got frozen green peas... that's obviously a winning combination!

Happenings

Mommy has joined the crowd and decided I can have juice. It's not my favorite yet - I'm used to refreshing water, but I do like it in small amounts.



Paka and Grammy sent me this awesome winter coat - I just got it today, so of course we had to try it on and take pictures. I smiled very big when I saw it. Thanks Paka and Grammy!

Makin' Music

Or at least the beginnings of it...

Today's lesson - the bow is not a sword.

TRAUMA!

My world has briefly come to an end. Blankie and bunny are in the wash. Mommy says they're getting a "bath", but I doubt if I'll ever see them again.

In other news, Mommy had a brilliant idea, and fished out an old cell phone - so now I have my very own. Yay!

I still want blankie back tho'.

*update - blankie and i have been reunited. all is well. phew.

Ooooh

Go here to see one of my Christmas presents I'm getting this year.

Just in case you're wondering, Mommy doesn't have any expectations, but it's a beginning. As Granny says, in Japan, they start at 18 months. Mommy says she's not Japanese, but is ready to give this a whirl. When it arrives, rest assured there will be lots of pictures.

Clothes

Mommy scored some 95 cent tops at the thrift store. Here I am modeling the first - a lovely red sweater in excellent shape. I look so grown up in it. And yes, I have a purple barrette in my hair - and no, it doesn't match my sweater (although it matches my socks) - but it was the only one Mommy could find, and she was tired of my updo.

Some Pictures

Here are some pictures - Mommy's been slacking again.



I sat at my little table to eat for the first time. It went moderately well. I'm still a little short for the chair, and Mommy was worried I'd fall out of it. But I did fine. (I'm eating a chimichanga. I love this mexican type food! Mommy and Daddy are very proud.)



I've been sitting my baby doll at this table and "fixing" her "food" for her to "eat". Very cute.
