Day 107

This is the last day of the year I was born! We are going to go celebrate with my auntie and uncle and cousins. Of course I'll be in bed before it's 2009 in New York! But before I go to bed I'll be rooting for the Gophers in the Insight Bowl! Go Gophers!

Day 106

Here I am consoling Ellis. He's a Bronco fan and he's upset that Mike Shanahan was fired. I'm sure somehow that's my fault too as I'm quite the jinx for them!

Day 105

The good news is the Broncos lost and I'm a jinx and never have to wear Broncos stuff again! The other good news is that I don't have an ear infection like mommy thought I had! Did I mention I love putting things in my mouth?

Day 104

I'm smiling because the Vikings and the Raiders won, not because my daddy dressed me in icky Bronco stuff!

Day 103

I spent the morning with daddy while mommy worked, and later on I spent time with grandma Helen while mommy and daddy went to a party.

Day 102

Here I am in my new Bumbo chair that Santa brought to help me sit up and be social in (I think I'm doing a good job!) and I'm wearing my new outfit that my aunties Susan and Lisa in New York sent for me!

Day 101

Merry Christmas everyone! And thank you for all of my wonderful presents!

Day 100

I'm 100 days old! That's a lot! Here I am dressed up for Christmas Eve at grandma's.

Day 99

This waiting for Santa is tiring work!

Day 98

Wurd.

Day 97

Daddy, mommy and I are spending the day at home not doing a darned thing. It's tiring!

Day 96

I got all dressed up in my cute outfit so I could go belly up to the bar with mom and dad today. We went to Breckenridge Brewery and I was a really good girl.

Day 95

Mommy, when you say "refer to the shirt" I can't help you. I can't read!

Day 94

I'm a happy girl!

Day 93

I like Wednesdays because mommy stays home with me. I was good and slept in until 8:15 this morning! (ok, I woke up twice at night but still!) Do you like my shirt that Mean Girl Tara gave me? She picked it out because she knows that I AM a smart cookie!

Day 92

I have an announcement to make!

Day 91

Brrrr!! I'm happy that mommy doesn't go to work til 3 this afternoon and that daddy is taking a personal day so that we can all snuggle up together and stay warm. It was wayyyyy below zero last night!

Day 90

Today has been fun. We went out in the really super cold to go shopping earlier this morning and now I'm watching football with dad (ok, I'm napping, but kinda watching!)

Day 89

I'm a happy girl today! I even have a video to prove it!

Day 88

TGIF! I had fun at Grandma's today with auntie and uncle and my cousins! I even napped this morning before we went over there.

Day 87

Today I spent the morning and early afternoon with Grandma and then came home and hung out with mommy. Tonight we have watched some Christmas shows. I can't wait til Santa comes!

Day 86

Ho ho ho! As promised, I got to see Santa today! Now I don't have to be a good girl anymore!

Day 85

I had a good day with grandma and then came home and hung out with mommy and daddy. Just a regular old day in the life of a girl who turned 12 weeks old today!

Day 84

We hate Mondays. Mommy hates it because she works til 9:30 at night and doesn't get to see me ALL day. I hate it because mommy works til 9:30 at night and I don't get to see her ALL day. So, here's my crabby face.

Day 83

Today we drank the kool aid and went to the 3rd annual Colorado Nasties Cookie Exchange/Secret Santa party. Mommy heads up the Secret Santa program. I got to meet all kinds of nice people and LOTS of babies, and of course everybody loved me! Here I am being initiated into the Mean Girls Club with Tara, mommy and Lily!

Day 82

Can you hurry up and take this picture, I'm trying to watch the Gators!

Day 81

I spent most of today with Grandma and had a lot of fun. Then I came home and was cranky!

Day 80

Snow day! We got our first real snowfall today. There's about 5 inches out there. Mommy and daddy both decided to stay home with me today. I'm just THAT special! I love snuggling with daddy!

Day 79

Today I'm just hanging out with mom on her day off. No, I didn't start the day dressed like this, but now I sure am comfy in a diaper and baby legs! Mommy made some banana bread and she's making mac and cheese for dinner. Yum, I guess?

Day 78

Another typical week day - went to grandma's, mommy picked me up, and I came home and hung out with mommy and daddy. I'm 11 weeks old today!

Day 77

It's December today! I slept until almost 8:00 this morning and boy was mommy happy! (ok, I woke up at 1:45 and 4:30 also, but still) Today is mommy's busy day where she works until 9:30 so we had to take my picture early while mommy was making her breakfast.

Day 76

Yep, I'm cute!

Day 75

Last night was a big night. I slept in my big girl crib for the first time and mommy said I did really well. Today we went to Bass Pro Shop to try to see Santa but we would have had to wait an hour and a half and I don't think people understand that I'm on a schedule here! So, we got a couple things and then went to the happiest place on Earth...er... Target! Except this time I slept through our whole visit.

Day 74

This morning when I woke up at 6:15 we got ready and went shopping. We went to Kohl's, Old Navy, and two Targets. I slept through Kohl's and Old Navy but of course I woke up at Target - it's my favorite! Then we came home and listened to Christmas music while mommy worked on decorating the house for Christmas.

Day 73

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Day 72

Today I helped mom make a pumpkin pie. Two, actually. I was in charge of the pumpkin - it's a very important job! Tonight we are going to mom's friend Hollie's house for dessert to celebrate her husband's birthday. I haven't seen Hollie since I was about 5 weeks old. That's half of my life ago!

Day 71

Respect the Turkey!

Day 70

Yep, I'm up with the kitties! Ok, I'm up early every morning, that's what I do. But today I came downstairs with mom while she got ready for work and watched the kitties eat their breakfast!

Day 69

Today we went out to breakfast at Pete's Kitchen - but I slept through it. This afternoon we went over to Aunt Judy and Uncle Pete's to watch football. I was really happy because the Raiders beat the Broncos! But everyone except for mommy and cousin Michael were sad because they wanted the Broncos to win.

Day 68

I went to my first hockey game tonight with mom and dad. Dad says I have to be impartial but I don't know what that means so I cheered for the Gophers with mommy. Sadly, they didn't win. I cried every time Denver scored. Dad thinks it's because of the loud noise, but really it's because I wanted Minnesota to score.

Day 67

Today has been rough! Well, the early part wasn't. I woke up at 5:30 all bright eyed and bushy tailed and had breakfast and then got to hang out in mommy's bed and I spent some time talking to mommy while she tried to sleep. I whacked her in the face a few times too just to make sure she heard me. Finally after an hour and a half of that we got up. Well, later this morning I had to go to the doctor. No one mentioned the shots until it was too late for me to figure out a way out of there quick! But I was a good girl and only cried for a minute! I am 12 pounds even and 22 inches long. I'm growing fast!

Day 66

I was kinda cranky for grandma today. Mommy worked a pretty long day (by my standards). It's much more fun to be cranky for mom! But I ended the day with a smile for my mommy.

Day 65

Only 300 more days until my 1st birthday! But my mommy wants me to stay a snuggly little girl as long as I can. They say I'm going to grow up way too fast. This is what I have to say about that!

Day 64

Grandma left this morning and I slept through it. Oops. But I got to hang out with her while mommy got ready for work. Then I went to my other Grandma's house while mommy worked. When we came home, mommy took me for a long walk. It was 80 degrees out today! Then I went and took a nice nap in my crib and listened to my Metallica lullabies.

Day 63

Why am I so sad? Because my grandma is going home tomorrow morning!

Day 62

I'm 2 months old today! And to celebrate, I slept for 6 1/2 hours straight last night! But then I went back to my old ways of 1 1/2 hour spells for the last 2 sleepy times. Mommy looks really tired. Today we went to my favorite store (Target) and to Old Navy and now I am half watching football with daddy and half sleeping.

Day 61

Today was pretty eventful so I stayed awake almost ALL day! Boy I bet I'll be fun tonight! I went to cousin Aubrey's birthday party and all my cousins were there - Aubrey, Andrew, Michael, Tyler, Ethan, Alex, Anthony, Devin and Gerard. Lots of people held me so I had to stay awake to get to know all of them, right?

Day 60

Today was a very busy day. We went to get Fluff's food at Alameda East. Then we went to get cupcakes at Lovely Confections. When we were there we ran into Gavin, Lyddie and Gabriella and their moms! After that we went to mom's work to pick up her new Crackberry - err Blackberry. Mom doesn't want me talking about crack quite yet! Now I'm off to Target with grandma while mom ditches me for the New Kids on the Block!

Day 59

Today mommy went to work early so I hung out with grandma Mary and we went to Castle Rock to see her cousin. I was a good girl and now I'm home and daddy's trying to get me to take a nap!

Day 58

I hung out with grandma in the morning while mom went back to sleep - til 11:30! Then we went and did some retail therapy at Yankee Candle and my favorite store, Target!
