Merry Christmas & Happy Birthday!

It has been action-packed fun the last couple of weeks. I've only been to daycare one day since December 21 which translates to lots of Mommy-Daddy-baby- bonding time. I really like those two! The first couple days of time off I stayed busy with Mommy making the last minute preparations. I've officially got the waving "hello" thing down. Then finally it was Christmas Day. Grama Jan & Grampa Bob came over for breakfast and presents in the morning. We had Christmas dinner over their house that evening. It was lots of fun. I had two more days of bonding after that. Mommy says December 27th was the day when she realized I was truly her daughter when I inadvertently had my first taste of chocolate and LOVED it! Mommy said she could tell by the look on my face I very much enjoyed that chocolate. On the 28th I made a guest appearance at school. I had a surprise of my own for Mommy & Daddy on my birthday when I transitioned smoothly to the sippy cup. Mommy quickly packed the bottles away before I could have a change of heart. In the evening I had a birthday party with G&G, Uncle Bran & Aunt Erica. There was a decorated cake as well as a cake just for me. I was soft, sweet & squishy! December 31 marked the next milestone as my pacifiers all mysteriously vanished. I've been okay with that so far. I guess I really do not need a binky anymore. Enjoy all the photos and Happy New Year!
