funny faces!
i seem to only have one (with slight variations) but we're working on it. mommy and daddy seem to have a few crazy ones and i'm totally into learning more. oh, and notice that daddy and my outfits match. coolness.

project!
daddy and i are slowly creeping through the alphabet, making letters out of wood. started with an "m", then an "a", i wanted to make a "j". of course, i wanted to make it for my friend jaya. and then mumbled "oh yeah, and daddy that's for jeff too". i draw the letter, and i do some of the cutting, and then i do the sanding...

Ballerina Gabriella's Debut Movie
This is a video made by the amateur in the family (mommy), not the seasoned professional (daddy). So let us know if you encounter any technical difficulties, and don't hold it to the usual high standards please!

ballet

great class today... i love thursday's, always look forward to ballet. i did my own hair today and although i didn't let it bother me, the clip was falling out for most of the class. if you look at my forehead, that's the red clip dangling. but i didn't slow down. it didn't phase me... the show must go on! and then there's the pic of proud me next to my proud mommy... 

A Morning in the Life of the Little Mommy

When I first get up in the morning, I head right into the nursery to check on Betsy. Then I push my stool over to the changing table and get her all cleaned up and back in her cozy jammies. Then we head downstairs for breakfast. Today I had cereal and strawberries and blueberries - yum! After that it's time to get dressed, and then I primp with mommy. I have to wash my messy face, put on my face lotion, brush my teeth and do my lipgloss (chap stick!!!). Oh, and then of course my hair... sometimes Mommy or Daddy give me piggies, but today I did my own hair. Isn't it "pretty and stylish"? Mommy calls this the Christmas Tree Look. All that and Daddy wonders why it takes me so long to get out the door, sheesh! Little Mommy's are busy little people! I didn't even have time for Sesame today... oh the sacrifices.

Practicing to be a Big Sister

Mommy's belly is getting SUPER HUGE which means my little brother or sister must be coming soon. This weekend Daddy put together the crib, and I helped Mommy get organized in the baby's room. I decided that Baby Betsy gets to sleep in there until the baby comes home, so every night I get her in her jammies, tuck her into the crib, and read her a book before Mommy and Daddy read me my books. I am such a good little Mommy, and I can't wait for MY baby to get here!

piggies

daddy might need a little help, but he gets an "a" for effort, for sure. he brushed my hair too, then put these two piggies in. 

super bowl!

the half time show was super-cool, they had a "special" show we waited for, then watched in 3D. i didn't understand the word 3D but these things were flying out at me, it was crazy! my friends came over, we had a ton of fun all playing together all around our house, it was awesome!
