My career as a post smacker

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! This week, Mom and Dad took me to the park. I loved it! There are so many things to play with, like empty water bottles and food wrappers and other "trash." I guess they have some toys there too.

This was when Mom and Dad got tired of watching me, so they locked me in jail. Just kidding!

I was really interested in the posts that hold up the slides. I may decide to be an engineer of some sort. Or maybe just someone who goes around hitting posts. Can I make a living doing that?

The slide was really big, so I told Dad I would ride down with him so he wouldn't be scared.

Now don't get scared, Dad hasn't dropped me yet!

It's almost Christmas! I love looking at all the Christmas decorations around town, especially all the lights on the houses.

And then, on the night before Christmas, I am supposed to hear reindeer on the roof? What are they doing up there?

Hold on, you're telling me that some guy in a red suit is going to break into the house while we're sleeping? And you're okay with that?!

He's going to bring me so many presents that I won't even be able to hold them all?

Awesome! I think I like this Santa guy! Merry Christmas everyone!

Like, call me!

It's me again! I'm getting to be such a big girl. I love laying around talking on my phone. I'm one year old going on sixteen.

Since I got the whole walking thing down, I can't get the cat to sit still. She keeps running away from me! I don't know why since I certainly do not pull her tail or grab her fur. Not me.

I love bath time. It's a good thing I do, because my daddy says if I don't take a bath, I'll smell like a foot.

You can't really tell, but I have a whole bunch of teeth in there!

This is my serious face. Sometimes I contemplate the meaning of life. Or the meaning of the Teletubbies, at least.

Happy birthday, Daddy!

I hope you have a great day, Daddy. I love you!

So it's been a big week for me, as you will see below. But it's been a lot of fun, too. Sometimes, I take a few dollars from my Auntie Tori's purse when she watches me. She can be a little hard to deal with, so I need compensation.

Here's an extreme close-up, so you can take in all the cutie goodness.

I've been a very busy girl lately, there is so much to see and touch and grab. Sometimes I wear Daddy out. I don't know why.

Here's the real excitement for this week. I've gotten this whole walking upright thing down. I figured it was about time.

I've also learned that walking around desk corners can be dangerous for mouths. Who knew?
