I love Disneyland!

This was the first time that Danni rode in the stroller without her "pod" ... she just learned to sit up on her own!!


Now she's a happy little back seat driver!

My favorite... we only rode twice this time!

Smiling on Small World!


Short lines make me HAPPY!


Crazy upside downer sister!


She loves to make faces!!


Silly Danni!!!

Danni gave Papa a massage on the train ride...

I gave him a kiss!


First time on the "Big Choo-Choo"....


Trying to slide out of a Papa hug....

Okay... so I am becoming a Disneyland addict!!! A few times a week, I will ask to go to Disneyland to ride 'Small World' or the 'Up&Down' ... I also ask to go on said rides with Papa. He is my best riding buddy!! Papa met us for a fun day of playing in the Park. It was a perfect day -- the weather was cool, the lines were short, and no one had a melt down!!! :) Mommy and Daddy are definitely renewing their passes again in 2010! Yippeeee!!!

Cookie Monster

Sampling the cookie dough!


Yummmmm....

Having another sample....

And another....

I LOVE to bake. Well, mainly, I love to work the big pink mixer. And I love to sample whatever it is I am baking... Yum! This week, I helped Mommy make chocolate chip cookies. I also helped eat them once they were made... the quicker I devour them, the sooner we can bust out the mixer and bake again!!!! :)

Danni's 7 Months Old

ALREADY!!! I can't believe that Danni has been around for 7 whole months!! I guess my parents are going to keep her! It has been an exciting month for her! She learned to sit up all by herself, she can eat solid foods, and she grew two more teefs!

Danni weighs 18 lbs 1 ounce! Still growing and growing!!!

A few of my favorite things!

I love the 'Dora Cart' at the grocery store. It has a TV screen inside that plays Dora: The Explorer while Mommy shops. On Mommy's side there is a screen that plays commercials. I get the better end of that deal! :)


I never want to get out of the Dora Cart!


I love putting monies in machines. I don't even care what I get out of them! I score gumballs for Mommy and 'reddies' (hot tamales) for Daddy...


Sunglasses!! I don't like it when it's too bright outside, so I asked for ... then picked out my very own sunglasses.


The chicks dig them.

As I am getting older, I have my definite opinions about what I like and what I don't like.... Here are a few of my faves.... this week.....

Escaping the Rain

Driving the Jeep! (Papa Don would be proud -- I picked this car all by myself!!)



Waiting for the ride to start...


Cruising....

Danni drove the fire truck...

I showed her how it was done... (lights and sirens blaring!)


Overhand skee ball....




She loved all of the noise and lights. We ARE related! :)

My favorite part of playing air hockey was getting the puck out of the goal...

Danni was on Daddy's team...

She made a good goalie... she's already missing most of her teeth.


Shooting the air guns... at nothing in particular...


Sliding down!
Riding the 'vanilla horsie' on the little Up&Down....


When I realized that the Up&Down had no seatbelt, I cried to get off. Safety first!!


Hitting buttons on the machines....

We've had LOTS of rain. Too much for me since I love to be outside running around and playing!!! My parents took me for some indoor playtime at one of my favorite hangouts, John's Incredible Pizza. Not only did I get to eat pizza, noodles, and ice cream for lunch, I got to play video games and ride on the rides as well. I guess if I am cooped up inside, at least it can be in a place that sends us all into sensory overload!!! :)

Pump It Up!

I climbed to the top all by myself!

The giant slide and me!


Climbing through the tunnel...


Bouncing!!!


I love being silly!!!


I never slowed down!

Little boy on a big slide!


Danni wanted to join the fun!


She had to watch from outside!

I got little sister kisses when we played on the floor....


They had a tunnel that was just her size... she likes!


I took a break to drive ...


Bouncing tired Danni out...

ANOTHER favorite Christmas gift was from my Great Aunt Dur! She gave me a gift certificate to 'Pump It Up!' (This is an indoor bounce place that kids like me LOVE!) Mommy, Daddy, Danni, and I headed over for "Pop In Playtime" ... a special session where pre-kindergartners can bounce without worrying about being run over or launched into outer space by big kids!! Mommy and Daddy were impressed that I was able to climb up and slide down the GIANT slides all by myself! (And without a trip to the ER!) :) I think we will be heading back to Pump It Up again and again!!! :)
