Reading a good book

I can't wait for Christmas!

Mommy worked hard decorating the house for Christmas the weekend after Thanksgiving. Here are some pictures of the decorations upstairs. I'm all ready for Santa to come now!! I also know what Santa says and every time I see a picture of Santa I say...... HO, HO, HO

Stitches out

Lauren got her stitches taken out Wednesday afternoon. She was such a big girl and stayed very still for the nurses as they took them out. She didn't squirm or fight at all. Such a brave big girl.

Stitches

Lauren fell at Kindercare today and hit her forehead on a shelf or cabinet corner. She had a pretty deep cut so we took her to her doctor and they had us take her to the ER for stitches. They gave her 3 stitches in her forehead. Lauren was a little trooper and only cried while they were actually giving her the stitches, otherwise you would have never known she was hurt. We took her for a little ice cream after to make everything all better.

Ready for the cold!

Here I am modeling my fur coat...

And here is my super warm winter coat that I get to wear outside to play...

18 month doctors appointment

I went to my 18 month doctors appt yesterday afternoon. The doctor said I'm doing well and growing up big and strong. I still have my ear infection so I'm back on antibiotics to hopefully clear it all up this time! Here are my #'s from my appt yesterday.
Height - 33 1/2 - 90th %
Weight - 25.2 lbs - 65th %
Head - 18 3/8 - 50th %

Happy Holidays!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. I had lots of fun visiting with grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and cousins for the holiday. I also enjoyed spending lots of time with Daddy and Mommy. Daddy and I got special time together while Mommy painted the basement on Friday and then again on Saturday while Mommy put up Christmas decorations. I did get to help decorate the tree in the basement because it is "MINE". I had a nice surprise Sunday morning when I woke up and there was snow! I loved looking out the window at the snow. Here are some pictures from my weekend.

Here I am with Grandma and Grandpa D on Thanksgiving.

We all were so happy that Mim was able to come for Thanksgiving!

This was the first meal we ate in the dining room of our new house. Mommy and Daddy moved our kitchen table in there Thanksgiving morning since we haven't found just the right dining room table yet.

Grandpa and Puck were sleepy after eating the big meal!

Mim and Grandma were nice enough to read me books.

And I got Grandpa to read a book for Puck and I.

Here I am helping put up the tree in the basement on Saturday (while talking on the phone and taking care of my baby - I was a busy girl).

I love you Santa!! Don't forget to keep me on your nice list and bring me LOTS of presents.

Your doing a good job Daddy....maybe move it a little to the right...

Mommy, this is how you put ornaments on the tree...

Don't you love how I decorated the tree with the old garland I found in a box....I think it looks beautiful.

I was a little confused when I got up Sunday morning and my tree didn't look like this anymore. I guess some elves came and moved the garland and even put different garland on my tree. I like it both ways....even though I think the way I have it in this picture is the best!

It snowed Saturday night after I went to bed. Mommy and Daddy snuck outside and took some pictures of the Christmas lights on our house with the fresh snow on the ground.

Here is what I saw Sunday morning when I woke up!!

Then we got ready and went to Grandma Schulte's house for Thanksgiving. I had lots of fun playing with all my cousins and my Grandma!

Asher and I are the littlest cousins on the Schulte side (and we like to think we are Grandma's favorites), Asher is almost a full year younger than me, he was born on May 1st of this year.

Here are all my cousins on the Schulte side. Aren't we all cute!! :)
