I got so excited when I saw the plane, I kept saying "daddy's" over and over.

I'm ready for Christmas in WI

Christmas preview

snowman on the potty

First of all, let me just say, the camera LOVES me :)

Mommy found my baby in the potty, head first the other day. I was trying to get her to talk someone else into using that thing! Then, I thought maybe the snowman going on the potty will get her off my back. Nope, she still keeps asking me if I want to go on the potty. I keep shrugging and crying that I don't. She tries to bribe me with the Gabba Gabba undies, she makes me clap for her when she goes on the potty, and tells me how all of you go on the potty, but I just am not interested!

Happy Thanksgiving

and GO PACK!

This video is really dark, but I hope you still enjoy it!

Eating cheese, saying cheese

Christmas kitchen

Mommy let me start playing with my Christmas present early.

Coke

eating

Mommy asked me to get in my chair to eat my noodles while she ran upstairs to grab something. When she came down, she was suprised to see me sitting in a chair in the living room with my noodles. She didn't specify my KITCHEN chair!

Samantha!!!!

another great find by mommy

Mommy and I built this today

Monster Mash at church

vegetables (and a fruit)

Mommy was really impressed that I remembered the names for all these vegetables. Before she started filming, I was naming them all. After the camera came out I could only chose what she asked for.

whoa

Pumpkins (and gourds)

Yesterday mommy bought my some pumpkins and gourds. I can not stop talking about them. First she put them outside on the front step, but after less than 24 hours of me dragging her to the front door to visit the pumpkins and trying to get outside to touch the pumpkins she brought them in. I'm so happy, as you can see, and I love to show Cha Cha our bounty,

Potty training

Mommy thought Tues. would be a good day to start potty training. She put on my Yo Gabba Gabba undies, took some pictures, got my potty in the living room so it would be handy and was "ready". I asked for some milk, she let me have some and I retreated around the corner out of sight where I proceeded to pee on the mantle. A few minutes later she wondered why my socks were all wet and thought I was tracking milky socks around...NOPE it was pee! Within 30 min of beginning, she was already mopping the floor :)

She wasn't ready to give up though. She put on a new pair of undies and waited. Then, she really wanted to take a walk. So I was back in a diaper because she was too afraid I'd pee in the stroller. When we got home I was very crabby and naughty. She figured out it was my molars again and threw in the towel on trying to do the potty training until I'm not dealing with the teeth.

Trip to WI

Here are just a few of the photos from our trip to WI. Mommy had to help me chose just 5 because my blog limits the number of photos per post...there were over 300!!

gobba gobba

Mommy fears she's created a Yo gabba gabba monster.  I request this show at least twice a day!!  Of course, when she pulls out the camera I pretend that I don't know what she's talking about :)

seriously dancing

I enjoy dancing, but as you can see I take it VERY seriously!

rocking horse

Mom found this mini horse at the thrift store for $2.00!! She knows it's a little bit small for me, but I like it. She was a little concerned when I launched off of it, but I wasn't hurt :)

18 month stats

I weigh 26.6 lbs and am 33" tall. Both of these are 75th percentile. Mommy forgot how big my head was...but she's pretty sure it's bigger than average.

Today I enjoyed coloring with markers at my desk. I did sample the tip of one of the markers, but it didn't taste good so I spit it on the floor. Now the pink marker doesn't have a pointy tip anymore :)

crazy afternoon

I didn't really take a nap today. I fell asleep in the car for 30 min. while we drove Samantha home, but that's it. I did some silly stuff that mommy decided to capture on video.
