Patio Play.....

It was really chilly this afternoon but that didn't stop me from wanting to play on the patio. Mommy dressed me in some warm clothes and let me go outside. I rode around on my motorcycle for a little while and even though my nose was red and hands a bit cool I would not admit for a minute I was cold. Mommy says I'm still too little to act this tough.....

Thanksgiving.........

We celebrated Thanksgiving tonight by going to Uncle John and Aunt Andrea's house for dinner.

Uncle John let me watch him carve the turkey with his electric knife. I watched in amazement the whole time. My mouth literally hung open which mommy found amusing. Unfortunately these are the only two pictures we have of our Thanksgiving festivities. Mommy and daddy were busy visiting and didn't take any more. Friday we went to spend the weekend in Alvin and mommy forgot to pack the camera. We did have a wonderful and fun holiday and hopefully we will be receiving more photos from relatives that managed to snap a few candids....

Go Coogs........

This afternoon the University of Houston played UTEP at Robertson Stadium. Daddy decided it was a good time to take me along for the game. It was my first time to watch the Cougars play in person. I was very excited but daddy was too busy keeping me in line to actually take pictures inside the stadium. He let me run around for a while before we left and snapped a few action shots......

Taking a stroll through the grass....

Checking out a piece of wood.....

Practicing my football moves. Ready, set, hut.....

Just being adorable....

Staying Out Late.........

One of the toy stores near our apartment was having a drawing for a Thomas train table. Mommy and daddy bundled me up and let me stay out late to see if we could win.

We were a little early for the contest so we decided to take a stroll through the mall.....

Once inside the toy store I couldn't be contained. I played with the train table, puppets, leggos, and anything else I could get my hands on. Even though we didn't win I had a great time!

Pesky Rats.......

It was a beautiful afternoon so mommy and I grabbed an old loaf of bread and headed to the park to feed the geese and ducks......

As soon as we threw the first piece, out of the water came the pesky neutra rats. They were not shy either. In fact, they practically ran right up to us. Mommy had to throw the bread farther out to keep the rats at a safe distance.....

They almost resemble little otters......

The geese had their fill of food today. There were several people that had gathered to feed them. We shared our bread with a couple of little boys who were watching us......

Then we headed over to the cage where all the doves live.....

I love to listen to them talk. Grandma and grandpa taught me to coo just like them.....

Next stop, the slides! I started out on the small ones. As I reached the bottom I would lay back and stare up at the clouds.....

Eventually I wanted to go down the big blue slides. I would go down the middle and mommy was on the slide right next to me. It was a lot of fun......

Just A Swingin........

We spent the weekend at grandma and grandpa's house. Hunter and I had a great time playing outside. There is plenty of space for us to run around, but every once in a while we need to take a break and catch our breathe......

I'm In Control.....

It's uncle James birthday and he decided to have a barbecue at his new house this evening. He lives in Alvin not far from grandma. Since we were spending the weekend there, we stopped by for some food and fun. Not only did I get to stay up way past my bedtime, but I got to eat hot dogs, hamburgers and play with this fun spider that Makenzie brought over.......

I learned how to make it move really fast and I loved that I could control it all by myself.....

I think I need one of these!

Big Shoes To Fill.......

I like to sneak into mommy and daddy's closet to hide. Lately I have been trying on daddy's shoes. I like to wear them despite the fact that it is very hard to walk when I have them on. I think I have tried every pair of shoes that daddy has, but these are my favorite!

Lunch At Pappasitos.......

We took Ali to Pappasitos for lunch to celebrate her birthday. Aunt Jodi, Makenzie, Lexi and Hunter were there too. Ali caught me being sweet to mommy while Lexi seized the opportunity to have her picture taken.......

Happy Birthday Ali......

My First Time To Finger Paint..............

This afternoon mommy made some baby safe finger paint (2cups cold water, mixed with 2cups of flour, separate into smaller bowls and add food coloring). We placed a towel on the kitchen floor and it didn't take me long to figure out what I was supposed to be doing......making a mess!

A little red here, a dot of green there. A master piece in the making!!

I like the feel of cold, gooey paint on my fingers.........

I guess I should have warned mom before I dipped both hands and started shaking them about as finger paint covered the kitchen......Luckily it was easy to clean:)

M & M 's Are Mmmm, Mmmmm, Good..........

Following a very long nap, Gramary stopped by with a bucket full of candy since I didn't see her on Halloween. She gave me some M & M' s which I would pretend to eat but really just store in the sides of my cheeks until they were about to burst........

Mommy was about to put an end to eating candy BUT.......

How can you say NO to this face????

Time to clean off all that chocolate and practice auditioning for this years Grinch. Wouldn't I make a cute little Who?

Makenzie's Birthday Party........

Makenzie celebrated her 5th birthday today at Chuck-E-Cheese. This particular location had different rides like the carousel. This time it was just my size and I wanted to keep riding. I think we spent most of our tokens in this very spot. Sometimes I would have the carousel all to myself, but this time my cousin Hunter and my friend Gavin joined me........

We played on the slide.....

There was a remote controlled train that daddy and I enjoyed. You could push the lever up to make it go faster and it had buttons to make the horn sound..........

We rode on this huge rocking horse. We had to climb stairs just to get inside......

I took Chuck for a cruise.......

Daddy taught me how to ride the waves.......

We posed for pictures and ate pizza and cupcakes. I have been practicing for a month now and finally got to sing "Happy Birthday" to Makenzie.........

My cousin Lexi really enjoyed her cupcake......

Then we watched Makenzie open her presents. What a fun day!
