My first art project

I did my first art project today at mother's morning out! Of course, Mom and Dad think that it is a Picasso, but it really wasn't that hard. My hands have looked like smurf hands all day! I am sure that there are many more of these to come...

Typical morning

Just catching up on my sports

Sunday afternoon at the park

I went on a long walk today with Corinne. We had a lot of catching up to do- we chatted the whole time! It was so nice out today, the perfect park day.

Toothbrush

Now that I have 6 chompers, mom and dad tell me that I need to brush my teeth. Hopefully we can get rid of this cheese breath I have had for the past couple of months! I did not know what to expect of the toothbrush, but I ended up liking it. We are only using water and the brush now, no toothpaste. Yeah for good dental hygiene!

The Abacos

After Christmas, we flew down to Treasure Cay in the Abaco Islands of the Bahamas. It was beautiful! So warm and sunny, and the water was the prettiest blue/ teal color I have ever seen. We had a blast boating and island (or Cay) hopping. We went over to Baker's Bay a couple of days (it is developed by the same company that did Mountaintop in Cashiers). Dad, Bo Daddy and Andy went sport fishing while Mom, Gogo and I stayed back on the beach. Diane Sawyer and Mike Nichols were there, and I got to meet Diane!!! She and I played patty-cake on the beach, and she called me "impossibly cute!" I (well, really mom) will never forget it! We had a great trip, and I hope to go back sometime soon.

Christmas in Amelia

We had Christmas this year in Amelia Island! I loved getting to see Gogo, Bo Daddy, uncle Andy, Ba, Uncle Hank, Aunt Patti, Little Hank and Cliff. We had a great tree that Gogo put up- it had tons of bright twinkle lights on it (and plastic ornaments, yeah!). I had so much fun crawling (yes, I am finally crawling now) around, and playing with the presents, the ornaments, the lights, the tree and every door and cabinet knob I could get my hands on. I am really into everything right now- watch out! My favorite present had to have been the TMX Elmo. Not only does it laugh when you tickle it, but it falls on the floor and kicks and screams. We had a great Christmas lunch that Andy whipped up, everyone left very full. It was great meeting Aunt Patti, little Hank and Cliff, and I really wish that I got to see them more often. Ba is finally feeling better after her terrible broken arm accident. She had a stylish sling on, and was in a wonderful Christmas spirit. Merry Christmas from Florida!

Christmas playgroup

Corinne, Catherine, Patrick, Emerson, Andy and Carter

My "big brother" Sage

I get so excited on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3:30 when Sage comes over. He is my nanny Teresa's son, and he really makes me giggle. He is 5 years old, and is already teaching me lots of cool things.

Elizabeth Stanton Means!

I am a little late posting this, but my cousin Ryan and his wife Heather welcomed a baby girl just before Christmas! Elizabeth Stanton Means, they are calling her "Ella." She is so beautiful, and I know will grow up to be such an amazing little girl. I hope to meet her soon- come down for a visit!

Barton's Christmas Brunch

Andy, Kate and Henry

We went over to the Barton's house yesterday for a little Christmas brunch. As always, Miss Biss is the best hostess, and we always leave their house very full. I got to meet a new friend, Henry Ledbetter. He is exactly 4 months younger than me, and I know will be a good friend. I just wish that I got to see him more often! (the Ledbetters live in Rome, GA).
