My First Disneyland Adventure!!

My first ears!!

I love my new hat!

Walking on to Pirates of the Caribbean (my first ride) with Mommy!


On the Pirates boat!


Not too thrilled about the impromptu family photo...


Hanging with GPL on the Jungle Cruise....

Hot Chicks were eating out of my hand!!


Uncle Po stole my ears....

Taking a lunch break with Uncle Po.

I snuck in a quick stroller nap!

Eating a rice-krispy treat that was as big as me!

Waiting for the carousel with Daddy and GPL.

Ramey was a bit forward about holding hands.


Taking a flight aboard Dumbo with Daddy.

Hanging out in the caves on Indiana Jones while Daddy rode the ride. (Mommy and Daddy liked the "Baby Switch Passes!")

Being 'Goofy' in the hat store!


On the photo-op Dumbo with Mommy.

Having a drink with Uncle Po.


Daddy and I in line for the Jungle Cruise....

Waiting on the curb with Ahntee Suz.

Disneyland makes me SMILE!!!

Chatting with Ramey after we enjoyed some ice cream....

Being silly with Daddy on Main Street.

For Christmas, my Grandpa Larry gave everyone Disneyland passes - so this weekend we all got together to put them to good use!! I absolutely LOVED it! We went on several rides -- believe it or not, I wasn't scared for a second on "Pirates!" My next favorite was the Jungle Cruise (they added some piranhas to the ride that startled Mommy and Daddy!!). I got to meet a new friend, Ramey - she was really pretty and held my hand. I had to put a little distance between us though when she wanted to go to the Princess Faire and have me inaugurated as a prince! (Thankfully, that was closed!) :) I had such a fantastic day -- and impressed Mommy and Daddy with my wonderful behavior -- maybe they'll take me back.... SOON?!!!

Zoooooooo!!!

A splash in the drinking fountain felt nice on such a hot afternoon!!

Seeing eye-to-eye with Ahntee Suz!

BOO-ing Ahntee Suz!!!

Steering clear of trouble on the playground!

RUNNERIZING!!!

I saw lots of goat-dee-dees in the petting zoo!

Nice goat petting. (This was after I got busted for going in the roped off "Rest Area")

Showing Ahntee Suz around

We're going home ALREADY?!

We decided to take advantage of the summer-like warm days that we have been having and headed to the zoo!!! My great ahntee Suz came along to share the fun!!! We had a nice time checking out all of the animals -- but my favorite attractions were still the drinking fountains and the playground! I had fun hiding with Suz and then popping out and saying "BOO!!" It was a super fun day -- I just hope it's a little cooler next time!!!

Uncle Po's FB Shots


Uncle Paul has finally joined all of the grown-ups on Facebook... but he needed a profile pic. I agreed to help him out. Cute babies are chick magnets, ya know! :)

LEGOS!!


There's nothing like the sound of a tub full of legos hitting the floor!!!

Getting ready for some construction... and destruction!


I love to build towers! (Then destroy them!)

The beginnings of a masterpiece!

Trying to get my grin up into the camera!!

One of my new words last week was LEGOS! Because I love them!!! I love to build towers, then I laugh when I bang them into things and crack them apart!!!

Is it REALLY January?!

EXCITERIZED to be out playing on a sunny afternoon!

I'm learning to climb UP the slide!


Almost too tall to fit through the bike rack!

I went down the big, curly slide all by myself (and got my pants all full of static!)

Cutie boy!!

This weekend it was over 80 degrees outside! That meant that it was time to put on my shorts for some playground action!!! Mommy, Daddy, and I enjoyed the warm, sunny weather with some fun at the park!

A New Dee-Dee Friend!


Giving the dee-dee a kitty treat shower....

Putting the treats back in the container (so I can dump them again, of course!)

Reloading....

NICE dee-dee petting!

Getting ready to give the dee-dee MO!

YAY! for Dee-dees!!!

Daddy and I were playing out front one afternoon, and a baby dee-dee (kitty) wandered over and started to play with us. I LOVED it -- the dee-dee is just my size and did all kinds of things that my other dee-dees won't do.... She ate out of my hand, she licked my fingers, and she let me hold her. She's come back a couple of times. I think it's because I'm a good playmate.... my parents think it's because I feed her well!! :) (And they SWEAR we will remain a 3-Dee-dee household.... we'll just see about that!!!)

Tool Bench!!

Working with my tool bench...

Building requires concentration!

Showing my muscles (and my flat abs!)

Every time mommy gets the camera out, I have to give her a couple of face-right-in-the-lens ham shots!!
WOW!!! I love my tool bench!!

I THOUGHT that Christmas was over.... but apparently it isn't! YAY! My Auntie Lisa sent the coolest present ever -- a new tool bench! I love it that now I have something that is acceptable to bang on and take apart!! Watch out, Daddy, soon I'm gonna pass you up in the handyman department!!!

Lunch with Mama Vee!

Giving Mama Vee some lovin'

Getting ready for the ketchup massacre....

You'll notice that this is a light week for pictures -- usually Mommy snaps about 200 on average -- this week she only took 35! That's what happens when she leaves her camera in toddler-range and it disappears for a few days!! She found it in time to snap some pictures of my fun visit with Mama Vee! We got to go out to lunch at Carl's (I can finish a whole Big Cheeseburger all by myself!) ... luckily, there were a couple of good shots of me before I smothered myself (and the booth) in ketchup!!

The Christmas Finale!


I DEFINITELY know what cameras are for!!

Helping Grandma Marilyn put her new Wii Fit together.

WHOA! It's a beh-beh!!!

Talking on the Wii Fit Leg Phone with Auntie Elaine.

I LOVE Christmas!!!

I loved it! This year, Christmas was the neverending holiday!!! Mine didn't end until 2009!!! My grandparents were under the weather on Christmas Day, so we had a belated celebration on New Year's Day. My Auntie Elaine came all the way from St. Louis to celebrate with us. I had fun helping my Grandma Marilyn put her Wii Fit together. (Can you believe that SHE has a Wii Fit and I don't?!) We had a nice lunch, some delicious brownies for dessert, and then some great times playing with the "beh-beh" (or vacuum -- my new addiction!) How many days until it's Christmas again?!
