Merry Christmas

I am not real sure who this Santa guy is but I hope he starts coming by our house a little more often.

Tub Hoops

And I thought playing in the bath was fun before. I love to play basketball in the bathtub now.

Larson Christmas

Not only did we get to watch football on Papa's new TV we also got to play football and Nick even got his own Hawkeye uniform. Uncle Brian was excited for the Nebraska game next week. I didn't know they had bowl games before New Year's Eve???

Lasagne

No Jersey

Uncle Mike got me dressed after my nap, he said we don't need to wear a shirt.

First Trip to Qwest Center

Mom and Dad took me to my first Creighton Bluejay basketball game on Wednesday for my birthday.

Look at me

I wish I was big like Jessica.


My cousin Delaney doesn't really understand why I don't walk like her yet. She tried to show me how but I don't really understand what she is saying-I just smile at her.

Birthday Party

I had a Birthday Party last Saturday....cake, presents, you name it. My favorite gift was a basketball--ball is my favorite word too!!

TOUCHDOWN SANTA

As you can see, all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.

Florida

I went on an airplane for the 1st time. It wasn't really that exciting because I couldn't move around very much. I had a wonderful time in Florida with mom, dad, Jessica and the Larson's. I loved playing in the pool and the beach was fun too. Jessica almost touched a dolphin out in the ocean, I was taking a nap so I missed out. Maybe next time we go I can try to play in the ocean with them.

Trick or Treat

I was a giraffe and Jes was a witch. My costume was comfortable so I was happy about that...I could even play basketball in it and say TOUCHDOWN!! Oh ya...I have had an ear ache for about month now. It wasn't getting better so I got tubes put in this morning. If you thought I was happy before, you should see me now-wooooohhhooooooooo!!

NWMS

I went to Maryville a couple weeks ago. I got to see Grandpa Clem, Grandma Laurel, and a bunch of cousins. We went to a football game too. It was a fun but quick trip, we did get home just in time to watch the Hawks beat Michigan State.

Lalalaleaves

I am starting to talk quite a bit but nobody really understands me although I think my doctor knew I was pretty mad when I screamed at her while she was digging in my ear again today. I don't know why mom and dad keep taking me there but it seems like we are at the doctor at least once a week. Mom says my ears will get better soon.
I have learned a few words such as: dad, I am also starting to say mom. I also learned how to say bye and wave but I am not real good at it yet. Sometimes I like high 5's too, especailly when we are watching the Hawks this year--dad says I am good luck because they have won every game since I was born.

Happy 60th Grandma Nancy

Grandma Nanc turns 60 on Friday so Julie came home and we had a surprise party for her. I didn't get to go to the party but everyone said it sure was fun. I also got to meet Aunt Jules' boyfriend John. He is a good Irish man just like me.

Mom and Dad

My mom and dad left me. I couldn't believe it. One day I woke and Mila was at home with me. She took me to Grandma Lynn's....no big deal. Then it was time to go home and mom and dad didn't show up. Grandma Nanc came and picked me up and told me mom and dad went to Cancun for Boogie and Megan's wedding. I had a lot of fun with Grandma but I was a little disappointed in my parents. They finally came back home 5 days later. I didn't know if I should be excited to see them or mad at them. I think I made mom feel bad because I wasn't real excited to see her, dad acted tough like he didn't care but I think he felt bad too. I trust them again now though.

We got to dogsit for Gus Kelly a few weeks ago. He is a lot bigger then me but I like to chase him around, he doesn't like it when I pull on his hair so he usually runs away from me.
I also got to start eating normal food. Some of the things mom and dad give tastes good but not real sure about a few things. Grandma gave me a couple of tasty foods when mom and dad were in Mexico but she told me I couldn't tell them because my mom only wants me to have healthy food.

Busy Crawling

I finally figured out how to crawl about a month and a half ago so I have been busy ever since. Some of my favorite things now include plants, cell phones, cords-especially cords that are plugged into the wall. I even crawl up a few stairs when I have a lot of energy. Not quite walking yet and have no clue how to go down the stairs but it won't be long.

GO HAWKS!!

I made my first campus visit. Dad said I need to make a lot of visits but to make sure they are all in Iowa City. My cousin Nick and Aunt Jamie went too. I learned a few new words during the game, I guess the Hawks won but it wasn't pretty. I am starting to get sick of my car seat.
