Brownie Batter

Chocolate craving? check. Spatula of brownie batter? check. Pants? um......There's no time for finding your pants when mommy is making brownies!

Preschool

I take a preschool class (mommy goes with me) every Wednesday. It is so much fun! We sing songs, read stories, make crafts, and play games. Yesterday's theme was penguins, so we learned how to waddle and we made a penguin hat.

Bunk Beds

Mommy, Reid, and I went to the Gholz' tonight for dinner and a play date. We always have so much FUN at their house!!! Mommy spent time with her wonderful friends, while I played with Nico and Brooks. I learned how much fun bunk beds are, especially the top bunk! :) Reid enjoyed hanging out with his buddies Evan, Austin, and Elana on a blanket.

Ironman

Our little man is growing big and strong. He weighed in at 15 pounds today and has almost doubled his weight in 18 weeks!

Brother & Sister

Splash Zone

My favorite fun spot at the children's museum: WATER WORLD!

Bath Time

Crowded Tub

by Shel Silverstein

There's too many kids in this tub

There's too many elbows to scrub,

I just washed a behind that I'm sure wasn't mine,

There's too many kids in this tub!

4 Months!

Freezer Bowl

Sorry for the delay in blog updates, mommy has been squeezing me extra tight and filling up our days with fun activities since she goes back to school next week!I helped daddy pick out his warmest clothes to wear to the freezer bowl last Saturday. While he cheered on the Bengals, I stayed home with mommy, Reid and Aunt Katie. We made brownies, ate ice cream, re-decorated the family room, talked, laughed, and played!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

My snow day included...

watching the snowflakes come down,

snuggling with Reid,

and playing with the pots and pans!

Chocolicious

Mommy and I have started our own Christmas Eve tradition... baking! While daddy and Reid went on the annual lunch outing to Chicken on the Run, we stayed in our jammies, cranked up the Christmas tunes, tied on our aprons, and made some goodies. Our specialties include oreo balls, chocolate-covered strawberries, and brownie-Reese cups.

Special Day

Mimi and Papa have season tickets to the Children's Theatre and it's always a special day when we go to the show. The tradition is that any grandchild over the age of 2 can go to the theatre... well, I am now in that club! My first show was Beauty and the Beast and I came home wearing a tiara. This time, I saw Holiday Follies and I came home singing jingle bells!
