My new "high" chair

Pictures from my new home...

Here I am taking a bath in Mommy and Daddy's new bathtub. I am the first one!

Mommy and Daddy borrowed our neighbor's learning tower while they are away and I love it! We are going to hopefully borrow one from another friend who isn't using it or if not, get one! I can bake cakes and make breakfast for Mommy and Daddy with my new pots and pans.

We moved in!! and Happy Hanukkah

But, unfortunately, I have no pictures to show you our new home....Our camera seems to be missing, so I also don't have any pictures from my last week. I really love our new home. So much more room and my bedroom is great. I helped Mommy and Daddy with the move by keeping myself occupied....taking bath products in and out of the cabinet, a little Elmo and reading books. Daddy made my crib into a toddler bed which is a perfect reading spot. More news over the long weekend and hopefully, we will have pictures by then :)

Last night was the first night of Hanukkah. I still don't really know what this holiday is, but I have a very cool menorah (from Grandma and Grandpa) that we "lit" last night. We didn't actually light it because the flame is wooden and already there. When we were shopping for a shower curtain at Target, Mommy bought me a tricycle. It is awesome. I wouldn't get off it in the store, but we haven't taken mine out of the box yet. Mary brought me over a beautiful new outfit for Hanukkah....I can't wait to wear it and show you all. Last week, I received some great new books from Aunt Donna and Uncle Tommy in the mail. Mommy says that I have a few more gifts coming in the mail. She is hoping they arrive soon so that I will be occupied for some additional unpacking over the next week or so.

The Day After...Remodeling Fun

This morning, Mommy and I went to the pier and this is what we saw. It was a gorgeous morning.


When we got back, we had to go do some errands to make some final decisions for the remodel. First, we picked granite for the countertops. Then, we met the floor guy. Guess what? Floor guy must have been thinking of me because he suggested we meet in the parking lot of a playground!


The slide had static electricity. Check out my hair!

And, here, Mommy was making me laugh. I look like I am posing, don't I? With the hand position and all.

Last stop was at the plumbing supply store. I helped pick out faucets and tried out several bathtubs. While I was at it, I learned the word, "bath"!

Sign Language ... Mimicking Mama...Tooth #8...Closet Design...Dinner with Saya

This weekend, I said the word "More" and signed the word "More" when we were at lunch and one other time. Mommy thought I was brilliant, but truthfully, Nanny G has been teaching me this word and sign together. So, now I think I have 9 words (Mama, Dada, Elmo, More, Up, Hi, Bye Bye, Baby, Ball)

On Saturday, Mommy tried to get me to make noise while moving my lips with my finger. I kept touching my lips but no sound came out. On Sunday, I finally "got it".



I got my EIGHTH tooth!! So, now I have 4 on the top and 4 on the bottom :)

My hair looks yellow(!) here. On Sunday, we went to the Container Store to design our closets. Well, it took 1 1/2 hours to design just Mommy and Daddy's closet, so Daddy was entertaining me by riding me around the store in a cart! It was fun!

Here we are at Target...(Mommy and Daddy were looking for an Elmo pan to bake my birthday cake, but didn't tell me)

On Sunday, we had dinner with my friend, Saya, and her parents. Saya treated me like her baby sister. I think she wants one!

A Tour Through Our New House

Mommy and I are going to take you for a tour of our new house. We are ALMOST ready to move in. Mommy says we should be in by October. Yeah! I can't wait!

Mommy and I just walked through the front door. To the right of us in the picture is a French door and we are facing the great room (kitchen, living room and dining room) which takes up most of the bottom floor. To our right is a guest bedroom and bathroom.

This is where the living room/great room will look out to our backyard. Mommy and I are standing in front of what will be doors that will slide into the wall (they are actually there now).

Upstairs! This is the family room. Outside the doors behind me and Mommy is a wrap around porch which is upstairs in the front of the house. Through the door to my right is my bedroom and bathroom and another bedroom.

Mommy and Daddy's bedroom. Their bed will look out on the sliding glass doors/porch

The Master Bath....the tub will be in the corner under the windows...

My room!

Faucets....Toilets....Sinks....So many decisions...

Today, we started the day off at the plumbing store deciding on toilets, sinks, faucets. I don't even know what a toilet is for yet, but I tried to help in making the decisions.




Afterward, we went to a festival. There is a picture of me above in my new carrier with Mommy....then, we had lunch. In the afternoon, I started eating a piece of paper towel. I guess they don't feed me enough around here.
