How I Roll

Here's me and my new ride, courtest of G-pa and Gramette! Most of the riding I've done has been in the house so far....it's too cold outside! But oh, it is FUN!!!!!

"Christmas" Pics

Okay, so Mommy did not take hardly any pictures of actual Christmas. Mimi and Aunt Heather will have to send those to her.

BUT. On the way back to Colorado, we stopped at Fort Union to look around. In case you don't know what Fort Union is, here is a blurb from the website:

"Fort Union was established in 1851 as the guardian of the Santa Fe Trail. During its forty-year history, three different forts were constructed close together. The third Fort Union was the largest in the American Southwest, and functioned as a military garrison, territorial arsenal, and military supply depot for the southwest. The largest visible network of Santa Fe Trail ruts can be seen here."

Since my parents (especially my Daddy) are very into history, things like this are what they like to do with their free time. They are nerds. And I am their cling-on.

So anyway, here's some pics of me and my guardians at Fort Union. It was a beautiful day. There's a picture of me "doing it myssef" with my stroller, and digging in the dirt like good boys do. The middle picture Mommy LOVES LOVES LOVES. And the last two are of me and Mommy walking on the Santa Fe Trail. Please excuse Mommy's saggy butt jeans....we were traveling and she didn't feel the need to dress up.

For G-pa.......

Here are some pictures of my pre-Christmas mischief.......

Embarassed

My Mommy said to tell you that she is very embarassed that it's been over a month with no blog. Pathetic. What can I say? I keep her so busy that she has nary the time to go to the bathroom, much less blog about me.

And oh, I keep her soooo busy. There are so many things that have happened to me in the last month.

The scariest is that I fell down and almost knocked out my two front teeth. One of them is chipped now but thankfully they both stayed in. That was a stressful week for Mommy because we had to go to the pediatrician and the dentist and it was no fun for me. Mostly in general I don't like people messing with me, so I gave that dentist the what for. I didn't bite him though so that's something.

I have just returned from a very fun Thanksgiving with my Aelvoet family.

But before we went to Hondo, we went and saw my great-grandparents in Odessa. My G-Gpa has the funnest thing--a WALKER! Oh how I loved to be pushed around in it by Daddy! That was the best and highest car ever!

I was very good on the trip to Hondo and on Thanksgiving Day, I loved seeing everyone and was quite the social butterfly. I met all of my cousins and lots of extended family. There were plenty of little kids to play with and I just walked around all day and had the best time!

And then on Friday, Mommy and Daddy went to Houston to visit their friends and left me ALL ALONE with Gramette and Gpa. I was a very big boy and was very brave. I was well-behaved too, or at least that's what they told Mommy. She knows me so she finds that hard to believe, but whatever. I also learned how to wave bye-bye (and mean it) and how to be an indian over the holiday.

Our drive home was pretty scary. We were caught in a blizzard in Northern New Mexico, and Mommy was very scared. Daddy was pretty chill about it, though. And I'll admit, I was somewhat cranky which added to Mommy's distress. I worked through it though.

Mommy and Daddy mostly took video so there aren't lots of pictures but here are some! These pictures are of me with my great-grandparents and riding on G-Gpa's walker, playing with the tugboat in the pediatrician's office while I was there for my teeth, and me just getting into general mischief at the house. Mischief is my business.....and business is GOOD!!!!
