Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas to you! Santa found me all the way in Chicago. We opened presents on Christmas Eve because we flew home on Christmas day. I got lots of cool gifts including clothes, books, spin top, musical toolbox and a sock monkey!
It was very cold and snowy so we tried to stay inside as much as possible. Next time I hope it's warm and sunny!
I got to meet my favorite cousin Aidan and my Aunt Gretchen and Uncle Steve for the first time. I also got to meet Uncle Kirk for the first time too! They are so great and even baby sat me while Mommy and Daddy went to the Bears Monday Night Football game. I'm glad I didn't go to that because it got down to -13F. No fun...

At the zoo

We went to the Lincoln Park Zoo to check out the "Zoo Lights" last night.  It was pretty neat-o!  We also got to see a mountain lion in his cage in the snow.  Do you see his eyes reflecting above us???  It was late, cold and I fell asleep.  That was the first and last trip to the zoo that visit.  My cousin Aidan and Auntie Gretchen and Uncle Michael all came with us to the zoo.  Aidan saw the penguin and got to ride the carousel.  I can't wait until I can ride it too!

Going to get coffee

Mommy and Daddy decided they wanted to get coffee down at the corner Starbucks so they decided to take me out in the snow for the first time.  I HATE SNOW.

First Flight

Today I got my wings.  This was my first flight and we were heading to Chicago for the Christmas holiday.  I could hardly wait!  We got to the airport at 4am and it was not even open.  Well, it was technically open but the ticket counter was closed, so we just waited patiently.  Once we got on the plane, I was pretty mellow and Daddy showed me all the cool things out the window.  I sat in Mommy's lap the whole way and didn't even fuss.  Next time, I'm getting my own seat so Mommy has a little break.

Who's hungry?

Today was an exciting day for me.  I had a playdate in the morning with my friend Aiden and in the afternoon I went for a check up at the doctor and she said I could have rice cereal.  Woohoo...Finally get something to fill my belly!  Mommy was feeding me on the floor in the Boppy pillow.  We don't have a high chair yet.  We better get one soon or this will get messy.

Evan and Hadley

As you know, Hadley is my best friend. We go on long walks together and go to yoga on Thursdays. Well today, we had our first actual playdate. Usually one of us is sleeping and we are in our car seats. We got to play on the blanket and here is how it went.

First we kept our distance...

Then I planted one on her....

A big fat slobbery fist!

The paparazzi even showed up. Check out our video:

Lambie, Gibson and Nala

Nala and I love to chill out with my stuffed animals. I have a few...Monkey, Gibson the puppy and Lambie the lamb. If you are lucky, you can get a big, slobbery kiss from me!
