My First Haircut!

Hi all,

I'm feeling a little bit lighter today- and no, I haven't been doing pilates.  I got a haircut people!

Here's me at Gymboree with Gloria, my stylist.  She set me up in this nice Jeep Wrangler with some cartoons from the 1950s.  Once I had my bagel I was good to go- Gloria tidied me up without incident.  See below!

I think after seeing the before and after shots (below), you'll agree that this was a much needed operation.

After!

Stay warm out there!

Happy New Year!

Hi everyone!

Happy New Year! Hope everyone had as exciting a night as I did.  Mom and Dad had Aunt Megs and Uncle Tim over last night and they had a pretty wild night that culminated in a 10pm bedtime for everyone but me (I tucked in at 7).

I just returned from a week at Mimi and Papa's in Florida.  Big thanks to Uncle Tim for surrendering his closet to me (not for my clothes THIS TIME, but for me and my crib) and really thanks to everyone for waiting on me hand and foot!  I had so much fun with everyone down there and loved playing with my new toys and the best appliances in America (great microwave and washer/dryer! Love my appliances!!)

The sun didn't come out much, which was fine for me given my complexion, but made the week a little less exciting for mom.  Here are some pics of me on the beach and pool:

This hat stayed on my head long enough to snap a pic and then had to be removed. I do not like headgear!

I stayed in this hut for 32 seconds. Too far from the action.

Mom had several parenting fails this holiday season, and she wanted to come clean 'for the record'.  Here they are in no particular order:

1. She waited until Christmas Eve at 4pm to take me to meet Santa, and the line was so long that we were told that Santa went home at 6, whether or not there were still kids on line. We could "wait at our own risk".  Silver Lining: I did get to see this Santa, who was taped to the door of the mall California Pizza Kitchen.   I touched his beard and felt very satisfied with our mission.

2.  She didn't order enough Christmas cards. No excuses.  Sorry, they were so cute!

3.  She didn't take any family pictures on Christmas morning or New Year's Eve.  

4.  While she is in FULL confession mode, she also wanted me to pass along that she didn't wrap some of my gifts, and quite honestly, decided to keep one or two of them on the backburner until I get tired of some of my other new toys.  Good to know, Mom!!

5.  This falls outside parenting, but she did have ice cream for dessert 8 nights in a row.  I think we can all agree when I say, NO COMMENT.

Here's to a 2014 that is filled with lots of fun, forgiveable parenting fails, and of course, good health and cheer.  Love you all!
