My Second Christmas!

Mommy says that Santa Claus is coming here tonight. Silly mommy. I know he has been here with his birds and his deer for a month already. I guess he is finally allowed to come inside. Daddy said he will leave me lots of pressies. I already have a lot of toys, and today I got to play with Tuti, Granddad, Granny, Grampy, and Aunt Diana. What more could I want? Another bike. I want another bike.

Mommy says we have to leave out cookies and milk for Santa. That's fine, as long as he doesn't eat all my teddy grahams. He can have daddy's chocolate covered walnuts. Yuck!

There's a dog in my CHAIR! OMG!

Look! The dog is in my chair! Dog! Chair! Dog! Chair!

*thump-thump-thump *

Come back, dog!!! I want to sit on you!!

There's dog in my house! OMG!

This is my friend DOTi. She comes to visit me sometimes. Sometimes she even stays overnight to play with me. Yesterday daddy threw a ball for her over and over and over and over. I needed a nap after watching her, but the dog just ran and ran and ran. Go dog go! I have some new shoes and a big pink ball! I like to go outside and look at the trees.

I love lima beans. They're so delicious! They are most delicious when I can scoop them with my wooden scoop and get them into my mouth. I also love yogurt. Yogurt tastes good on a spoon or from a bowl. Daddy laughs a lot when I lick the yogurt out of the bowl.

I also love the Monkey-Alligator song. And I love the song about how I named all the animals. I love music. I love the viking kitten song. I love to dance a lot. Mommy laughs when I dance. We dance together a lot.

I am tired from such a big week. I'm falling asleep on the computer. Time for bed!

Leaving My Old Teachers

Next week I am going to start a new class at school. I like that I will be with new kids, but I am going to miss my teachers so much! I love my teachers. They're so nice to me, and they always pick me up when I wrap my arms around their legs and pull on their shirts and say "Yaaaaaaaaang!" I don't know if my new teachers will be like that. My old teachers, well, they really GET me. They know what I want, and how to tell me things so I understand. I hope the new teachers are like that.

I am the oldest kid in my class because my best friends were older than me and they already moved up. So now it is just me and the boys. The boys are so little, they never hug me back even though I give them lots of hugs! Mommy says that the new class has bigger kids so that will be better.

Thursday and Friday, mommy said she will go sit in my new classroom with me for a little while, so I can get used to it. She said that the toys are a lot better and the kids like hugs so I think it will be fun. But it won't be fun when mommy leaves!

I hope everything will be OK. Hey! Look! The neighbor's dog is in my yard! COME HERE DOG!!!

So Busy!

I had so much stuff to do yesterday, since I'm finally going to be in town for awhile. You see, I have been traveling for 5 weeks! I went so many places with mommy, and I thought we were through with traveling but then mommy left and daddy took me to New Bird, where I spent some time with Granny and Grampa and their kitty. It was so much fun!

When mommy came home, she gave me lots of hugs and kisses, and she told me that it was time to start walking by myself. So I did.

Now, I have so much to do! I need to rearrange the bookshelves, sort the laundry, empty the toybox, and catch all the birds in the yard. Yesterday mommy was all hugs and kisses and she was so clingy, I had to do something to keep her occupied. So we put on one of those Baby Einstein videos and luckily, she was mesmerized. It freed me up to do some of my work. I feel bad just plopping mommy in front of the TV like that, but as long as I don't leave her there all day, it's OK, right?

I'm not sure why she's so crazy about it, but I guess it's all the pretty colors and music. I find it amusing, but mostly I think the TV is kind of boring.

Today I have to get ready for friends to come over. Mommy keeps hiding all of my toys, and I need to take them all out because I want to share them.

In other news, I finally have my passport! Yay! I can go visit France, where my friends Isabelle and Le Chef live. They're so nice and I bet they'll show me where to get delicious crepes!! Gotta run!

Where are we going next?

I love to travel and Mommy takes me to lots of neat places. We went to Seattle and saw my cousin Cate, which was great because she has kitties! We also went to New York, which was great because daddy snuggled me inside his coat when it was cold outside. We went to Texas a few times which was great because I got to use a different car seat. That was fun! The first time I went to California I met my great-aunt and saw BIG trees. I like trees! They always have birds! I went to Chicago which was great because daddy gave me as much banana as I wanted. I went to California another time and met my new best friend Catie, and she has a kitty AND a lot of fish. I went to a zoo and saw SO MANY BIG DOGS! It was great. I went to South Carolina which was great because Tuti let me play with her shoes. She has a lot of shoes! I went to Washington, DC which was great because I saw lots of birds. The birds were funny! They would eat your food right off the table! I like to teach my food to fly but the birds eat it and fly so that works well.

Mommy said she is ready for daddy to travel with me so she can go somewhere by herself. I will miss her! Next week I'm going to spend the night at Granny and Grampa's house with daddy because he has a meeting in New Bird. I can't wait to see New Bird again. Last time I was there, we saw dogs. I love Granny and Grampa. They're so funny!


Here is a picture of my favorite dog in San Diego:

"Nigel" 2007, R.I.P.

WAAAAAAA! WAAAAAAAAAAA! (inhaaaaaaaale) WAAAAAAAA!

Somebody ran over Nigel!!! Nigel lived in the backyard and was bigger than Mommy is tall. He was my very own pet rat snake and now he's gone! He wandered onto the street and SQUISH!

Poor Nigel!!!! WAAAAAAA-

Ooooh, a frog. Heeheehee. COME HERE FROG!!
(thump-swish-thump-swish)

It has been a long time since I blogged becuase I tried to take pictures in the bathtub and my camera phone got messed up. I borrowed mommy's camera phone while mine is being fixed.

Hi!


A fancy baby like me has to stay on top of fashion. All the girls in my class wear cool shoes so I want to wear them too. I have a lot of shoes. My favorite shoes are the white sandals with flamingos on them. Mommy says I can't wear them because my feet are too wide. I don't care! I love them they are beautiful I want to wear them put them on my feet!

OUCH! That hurts my feet! I don't want to wear them take them off my feet why did you put them on my feet?

So I won't wear the flamingo shoes. I will wear my white sandals with the bows on them instead. Aren't they pretty?



Sometimes I get bored. Mommy and daddy never hold me for more than two or three hours at a time and that's not enough. I want to be held ALL the time. Why don't they understand this? So I have to make my own fun. Here are some fun things to do in my house:

empty the bookshelf in the kitchen
empty the bookshelf in the dining room
empty the DVD shelves in the living room
empty the CD shelves in the living room*
empty the bookshelves in the den
empty the box of goodies in the kitchen
empty the other box of goodies in the kitchen
empty the spice rack in the kitchen
empty the dishwasher
empty the refrigerator
empty the freezer
empty the cabinet under the TV
empty the shelf under the coffee table
empty the cabinets in the kitchen**

*mommy says that this puts her over the edge. I don't really know what that means, but it's funny when she goes over the edge.
**daddy put locks on most of these, but I can still get to the tupperware and the pots and pans. I hope he doesn't notice and put locks on them too because that's my favorite.

My other favorite thing to do is search the web for pictures of kittens and puppies. Mommy lets me watch this sweet video of cute kittens that sing a beautiful song and I like to sing along. Here is the link. I can sing AND dance to it.

I can't believe I ate the whole thing.

Mommy made me a smoothie and it was deeeeelicious. I loved it so I ate it until it was alllll gone. But then my tummy hurt! So I pooped. I felt better. Then, my tummy hurt again! So I pooped. I felt better. Then, my tummy hurt again! So I pooped. I felt better. Then, my tummy hurt again! So I pooped. I felt better. Then, my tummy hurt again! So I pooped. I felt better. Then, my tummy hurt again! So I pooped. I felt better. Then, my tummy hurt again! So I pooped. I felt better.

Then I was very tired. So I slept. And I pooped. I felt better!

And I slept some more.

Today, mommy won't let me go to school because I have bad electric lights. We rode mommy's bike to the store to get some electric lights for me, and when we got home, OMG she tried to trick me into drinking it!!! This is what she had:

First, she tried to sneak it to me in my favorite drinking cup:

Yuck! Electric lights taste awful!
Then she tried to put some in the port-a-booby:

Eewe! I don't want electric lights in my port-a-booby!
Then she tried putting it in my sippy cup:

What, does she think I'm stupid?

Ooh, a banana!!

(Thump-swish-thump-swish)

Mommy said that my big cousin is visiting with Tuti this week! I love my big cousin. She is so smart and pretty.

I have only met her once when I was little but I can't wait to see her again. I just know she will play peek-a-boo with me as much as I want and not get bored and try to watch TV!

I have a seat at the kitchen table. I am typing this while Mommy and Daddy cook dinner so I have to get back to my seat whenever they look this way.

Daddy gave me some Cheerios as a snack before dinner. I ate some. I taught the rest to fly.

Here are my Cheerios.

Here are the losers.

Cheerios don't fly well but they are really good at falling.

This is my snack. Mommy calls is honeydoo. Heehee! I know all about doo and this is totally different. It tastes so good! It is sweet and juicy!
Squeaky bunny is helping me eat honeypoo. I mean honeydoo.
My head was itchy and now there's honeydoo in my hair. People say I have a lot of hair. LOOK! The big silver box of cold food is open!! (thump-swish-thump-swish)

We were driving around in my car and Mommy stopped the car because some ladies were standing in the road waving their arms. This was why:

The ladies were trying to get it out of the street but it wouldn't go. So Mommy got a big stick and poked it. The thing made a big snarly-hissing noise and tried to eat the stick. We all jumped. It was funny! You can see Mommy's stick in the picture. Mommy poked it again and it left the street to go swimming in a pond. Mommy said it was a big old Snapper. I bet Snappers are fun to ride on. I like snacks.

Hi. My name is e-baby. Ever since I woke up in September, I have wanted to -- oh, look at that coffee mug, Hee! it is beautiful! Want to touch it want to touch it can't quite reach it want it to come to me oh,-- um, where was I? Oh yeah.

I have wanted to keep a diary of the incredible, and sometimes mundane, things I have seen. I have traveled long distances, gathering important knowledge, that I have wanted to share with an audience.

I have watched mommy and daddy toil away on their computer, and for months I couldn't tell my stories because -- did you hear that? Was that a dog outside? -- anyway, I couldn't get around enough to reach the computer and write. But now I can go anywhere I want. I am a girl with credentials. I have a frequent flyer number, an email account, a blog, and applications for credit cards. And now I have something that mommy and daddy don't know about.




I have a camera phone.



Hee! Heehee! Heehee!

A guy at the mall sold it to me for an avocado. It was a nice ripe avocado. Avocados are so tasty. Hee! So are peas. I love peas. Have you ever had peas mixed with oatmeal? It is so good. Not as good as milk. Heehee! Nothing is as good as milk. Mommy has the best milk ever. I like cantaloupe too. But the price for my camera phone was fair and the guy at the mall was a connoisseur of good produce. Now I can take pictures and show you some of the neat things going on in my world. This post is a start.


This is my mommy.
She drives the taco truck and brings me lunch 5 or 6 times every day. She also sings and dances most of the time, unless she is sleeping. When she takes naps I sometimes stay awake to play with her hair. I can swing like a monkey from her hair.






This is my daddy.
He drinks a lot of coffee. He has big nostrils. I can put my whole finger in his nose.







These are some of my toys.
Mrs Hippo is my favorite because-- Heehee! oh, there is something good. Well will you look at that? A phone book. These pages (RIP) make great (RIP) snacks (RIP RIP). Oh, here comes mommy to stick her finger in my mouth-- no, rats, no! oh, she took away my snack. Anyway, Mrs Hippo catches me when I fall down in the kitchen.


I will write more when I can. Right now I am kind of tired. I'm going to take a-- HEY! A doggie! COME HERE DOGGIE!
