Christmas 2009

This year we spent Christmas at home with my daddy's side of the family. We all went to 4pm mass on Christmas Eve and then we hosted dinner & family gifts at our house. On Christmas day mommy, daddy & I spent the morning opening presents from Santa and each other and then we went over to my Aunt Cathy & Uncle Todd's to join everyone for dinner. Here are some pictures and videos from the two days. I can't believe it is all over and I have to wait a full year to see Santa again!

'Tis The Holiday Season

Over the past couple of weeks we have really been getting into the holiday! We went to see the Cleveland Orchestra Christmas Concert with my Nana, Papa, Aunt Cathy, Uncle Todd, cousins Zach, Emily and Ryan, Uncle Dave, Aunt Taron and my cousin Lauren. I managed to sit for it from 8 to 10pm like a perfect little gentleman! I even entertained the people around me by moving my arms along with the songs and clapping with excitement after each one was over! I also got to got to the mall and ride the Christmas Train with my cousin Emily and go to my Nana's preschool for their Holiday Concert and a visit from Santa! This year I didn't scream at Santa but I would not sit on his lap. Mommy tried to place me there and I squirmed right off before she could count to two. I did however express my love for him by giving him a high five and blowing him a kiss. Maybe by next year I'll be ready to sit on his lap! Here are some pictures and a video from these activities. I can't wait to celebrate Christmas!

Say "Cheese!"

At the beginning of November I went up to my Nana's preschool to have my picture taken. I was just about 20 months old but I look like I could fit in just fine with her students! Aren't I handsome??

My "Dora The Explorer" Dance

For the past couple of weeks I have been really into the cartoon "Dora the Explorer". When I need to get a fix in I scream "Dora & Boots" until someone gets the point. My favorite part of the show is when they celebrate at the end and sing the song "We did it, we did it, we did it, hooray!" I dance around the room every time I hear this. Here I am caught on video.

Thanksgiving 2009

This year we spent Thanksgiving down in Houston with my mommy's side of the family. We got to spend time with my Mam, Pops, Aunt Megan, Uncle Ty, Cousin Amelia, Uncle Gavin and of course the dogs, Maggie, Harley and Jake. Here are some pictures and videos from the week that we spent down there. We had an absolute blast!

Jake quickly became my best friend because he always sat still while I tried to pet him, "nice doggie."

Our trip to Old Town Spring...I loved the "Christmas lights"

But not the "Choo Choo"...

My Future Little Brother Or Sister

Halloween 2009

This year Halloween was a lot of fun for me because I had been practicing wearing my costume and carrying around my "treat" bag for trick or treating! As you know, a couple of weeks ago I got to wear my costume to Boo at the Zoo. Well, last Thursday I went up to my Nana's preschool to partake in their Halloween parties and parade so I got to wear my "Dinosaur" one more time before Halloween last night. Here are some pictures and a short video from my parade at the preschool followed by some pictures and videos of me actually trick or treating on Halloween. Enjoy!





I think I'm showing off my "treat" bag to daddy in this video....
