One Day on One Day OFF!

So Mommy left me with Keisha and Edina for the first full day yesterday, but today we woke-up to a white world and Mommy has a snowday! She said it was a nice way to break back into work and getting up. I slept like a champ sleeping seven hours and then four more. Mommy is going to take me to see Keisha for an hour or two today just so we all stay used to it, but it is a nice treat to have Mommy home again. (p.s. these are my penguin long johns. Granny gave them to me. She also gave Mommy and Daddy and Catherine ones to match! We will have to try and get a family penguin pj picture...)

Keisha and Edina:)

Here I am with my new nanny Keisha! She is the best. She is going to take care of my new friend Edina and I while Mommy is at work. Here I am with Daddy looking at Keisha and Edina. Edina lives with her parents just three doors down. She is two and half weeks younger than I am. Her mommy met mine while Mommy was walking Catherine and they figured out that we can share a nanny.

We also had a last lunch this week with Jill and Sydney at the Cheesecake Factory. Mommy says she will miss being able to go out to lunch with me.

The right penguin

Mommy posted my picture with the wrong penguin. No wonder I was so upset in the earlier pictures. Here is the right one.

THREE MONTHS!

Here is the second attempt at my three month picture with the penguin. Mommy took it after her practice first day at work. I got to go play with Keisha and Edina for the morning. I had a good time, but I think it was hard for Mommy to leave me. She goes back to work on Monday.

Here I am at two months.

Here is the first try that did not work so well...

Here I am smiling away on my belly :)

Thirteen Weeks and a trip to Florida

I went to Florida with Mommy and Daddy.

Here I am with Aunt Blake.

Uncle Obbie got to feed me...so did Grumps

Here I am dipping my toes into the water.

Here I am with Granny. She was very excited to see me in Florida.

I got to go to the fancy Golf Club with Grumps to have lunch.

Mommy says I am too cute in this picture.

Here I am on the airplane!

Twelve Weeks

This is me in my new chair. I am still getting the hang of it :)
Here I am with mom in my Dr. Seuss suit from Uncle Obbie and funny socks from Margaret. They match it perfectly.

Here I am at 12 weeks officially in my cute dress from Denise. I am not sure about Mommy and the camera.

Here is my cute penguin dress. Mommy and Daddy like penguins a lot.

Daddy and I were all smiles!

A trip to see friends

Here is my friend Sydney. We went to see her and her mom on Monday. It was the first time Sydney and I noticed each other. I was up on my arms.

Look at us looking at each other.

A new use for the fishing pole

Daddy figured out that he could hang my new favorite toy from his fishing pole in the car during our 11 hour trip home. I was great in both the car and the plane!

They all thought it was funny that I would sleep on the table.

Grumps got a puppet to entertain me with :) We have matching hats.

My first Video and Mommy is singing

Here is a video of me playing on my play mat. If you listen carefully you can hear me talking, but even stranger you can hear Mommy singing. I think she has a beautiful voice even if I am the only one.

Sleeping with Daddy

Mommy said she couldn't resist posting this picture because I was too cute with my Daddy sleeping. I explored lots of places to sleep while we were away. As many of you know, I sleep in my carseat mostly because I hate sleeping flat on my back. I also slept on the Boppy next to Daddy like here and I learned to fall asleep in the swing.
