Me & My Cousin!

I get to hold him because I'm a big girl!

My First Cousin

Look, it's Baby Baker! Mommy & Daddy got to meet him today and brought back these pictures. Isn't he just so perfect and fabulous? Well, of course because he's my cousin! I hope to visit when he's home this weekend so I can hold him.

Happy New Year

December is a really busy month. It is my birthday, but also some of my friends.

My birthday was a lot of fun, we went to a playland with lots of inflatable bouncy toys. We all made funny faces.

Mommy made me a really awesome birthday cake with Cinderella.

Of course its also Christmastime. I went to see Santa; he was really nice and gave me a candy cane.

I got so many toys this year and had a really fun time opening them. We stayed in our pajamas all day and ate too much for breakfast.

Baby brother had some more pictures taken of him too. I can't wait to meet him. I will also get my first cousin tomorrow! Aunt Erica and Uncle Brandon are so excited to be parents!

Fall brings new adventures

Okay everyone, first let me apologize for being MIA since the summer. I hope you are fine! That puppy Dublin sure was a handful. I think I've done a really good job training her so now I can do other things. Besides Dublin, the most exciting thing happening with me is that I am going to be a cousin & a big sister in the coming months! Uncle B & Aunt E are expecting baby D on Jan 5, and Mommy & Daddy have promised me a little brother around March 28th! It's all very exciting. The summer was hotter than normal this year, but now we are back to sunny 70s-80s during the day. Grama Ellen came to visit me in September which is always fun. Then in October, all of us, even Mocha and Dublin packed it up and headed for the beach. Our house was two blocks off Port Aransas beach. Mocha & Dublin really enjoyed their walks on the beach each morning. I started dressing myself which thrilled Mommy & Daddy. We spent afternoons playing in the sand and surf. Vacation flew by and then we were back making preparations for Halloween. We went to the pumpkin patch and I was Tinkerbell! Grampa Jeff was just here last week so he was here to celebrate at E & B's baby shower. I got to help unwrap the gifts! I'm really looking forward to Turkey Day in a couple weeks, and of course Christmas and birthday after that. Pack a couple pairs of shorts and come celebrate them with us!

Summer Fun

We've been doing lots of fun stuff now that it is summer in San Antonio (I think summer really starts in February here). Anyway, first up the safari again. This time I made a friend.

Meanwhile Dublin and Mocha are making friends.

Mommy and Daddy made me a smore for the first time ever. I really like them.

On the fourth of July we went to Sea World and saw some shows. We did see fireworks but I got kinda scared so I didn't take any pictures. I did get to see Elmo again though.

We had a very nice spring in Texas - we even got blue bonnets again this year, but it was very cool - modelling isn't as glamorous as it seems!

Grandma Ellen came to visit again - among the cool things we got to do was shopping at the San Antonio Children's Museum!

I have also been expanding my palatte (trying new things) - and even new silverware with a little help.

Finally, some big news - we got a new puppy for Easter! Her name is Dublin and we got her from the animal shelter. She is really nice and cute but still likes to chew on everything, especially my shoes. She gets a lot of time-outs.

We have a lot of fun together though, and I get to help feed her.

Anyway, I will write again soon.

Maddie

Mommy and Daddy are wayyyy behind on my blog, so they are going to do a few to catch up or I will give them a 'time-out'.

Anyway, since I last posted I have been doing a lot of new stuff.

First I am working on my bike (trike) riding - Daddy is very proud.

Then we went to the Rodeo aand I finally worked up the courage to ride a pony!

Finally we got around to taking my formal Birthday pictures!

Anway, I will post more exciting news in a few days, promise!
