UPDATE

Just a little FYI...our computer crashed (yet again) and is gone away to be fixed. Not sure when it will be home again. SIGH! But don't worry...Mommy still tak a picture of me EVEY DAY!

We look forward to updating you when it comes home. Sorry for the wait.

We are all doing well. 2 weeks ago I officially started calling Momma MOMMY now. I think she misses Momma, but too bad! I have set my mind of Mommy. I learned it from Ezri (who I call Heri). Mommy's belly is getting bigger and BIGGER by the day. In case you haven't figured it out yet, I am having a baby SISTER. Well, the Dr. said she was 92% sure it was a sister. We have discussed various names for my little sister and I have decided that I like MARY LOU the best. Whenever Mommy and Daddy say sister now I say , "Maur-ree Le-oo" with a smile. They keep saying they reserve the right to change their minds...but I reserve the right to keep telling them to name her Mary Lou. I am talk-talk-talking so much now. I say new things every day. When B-3 came out to test me for my 6 month eval I actually tested out of the program. NOW I go to their pre-k on fridays, not a s ab3 kiddo, but as a PEER ROLE MODEL!!!! Mommy and Daddy are very proud. Currently my favorite movies are "Nemo and Daddy Nemo" (aka Finding Nemo) and "Wa-yee" (aka Wall-e).

Well, I think that's the big news for now. I 'll check in again when we get our computer back...or when we have time to use someone else's.

12-8-08...How Lovely Are Your Branches...

I am in love with our Christmas tree. I won;t let Momma and Daddy turn it off. When they try I say, "twee ohn. Twee ohn. Momma. Pwee. Twee ohn."

Every hour or so today I went over to the tree and named all the ornaments that I could. And whenever anyone comes to visit (including the plumber) I bring them over to the tree and tell them all about it.

My favorite ones are:

"ran do" - reigndeer
"bay-bee" - The Baby and Momma hugging
"drah-mmms" - drums
"choo choo" - train
"sta-wa" - star
"can-do kay" - candy cane
"eh-wa" - elf
"Ho Ho" - Santa
"ah-poo" - apple
"beh-wa" - bell
"na na" - the Momma, Daddy, and Baby in bed
"key key" - gingerbread cookie
"sna moe" - snowman
"yah-yah bee-wa" - the old car with the bear

12-7-08...Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree...

We decorated our "Ho twee" (translation: Christmas tree) today. I put on my newest ornament. It's a (you guessed it) choo choo train.

Daddy put the star on top, like he always does.

Here it is...our tree!

12-6-08...visiting Santa with Max

My good ol' cousin Max took me to visit Santa in the city tonight. We had to walk on the side walks, wait for lots of "don't walk" signals, and go past a bunch of wee-oos (vehicles with sirens). Every time we walked over a crosswalk I yelled out "Choo choo tra! Choo choo tra!" becasue they reminded me of train tracks.

As we got closer and closer to where Santa was, there were more and more lights!

I brought a gift and gave it to Santa to give to Toys For Tots. Momma helped me pick it out - it was a fashion design set for a big girl (stratigically chosen so that I wouldn't get upset when it came time to give it to Santa). I put it in the box all by myself.

We had to wait in line for a few minutes and at first I kept saying, "No Ho! No Ho! No Ho!" and whinning. Momma said, "Oh boy! THIS shoud lbe fun." But when it was my turn, Santa's helper opened the gate for me and I RAN witha huge smile on my face right into Santa's arms. He scooped me up and hugged me tight! I hugged him right back and said, "Oh Ho! My Ho!"

Max was not as happy to Santa. This made me a bit concerned. The BEST news is that since Max was so upset, Santa gave us candy cane in an attempt to cheer him up.
