Wowie...Mommy will love this freebie!

Well, today I noticed a really great freebie that momma is going to love! She is always taking lots of pictures of Emalyn and I, but she says she never has the time to go get them printed and sent out to people. So, I, being the IT savy 2 year old that I am, found a really neat website called Shutterfly.com.

Here comes the amazing part.... Shutterfly is offering 50 free holiday cards that all the mommies and daddies can put their adorable kids like me on and send out for the grandparents and friends to see. That's right kids! 50 FREE holiday cards! They have really cute holiday cards http://shutterfly.com/cards-stationery for Thanksgiving and Christmas http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-photo-cards: however, they not only have cards, but they also offer calendars http://www.shutterfly.com/calendars/ too! Everyone loves getting cards in the mail and the wall calendars are a great idea for Christmas presents, birthdays, and Mother's/Father's day! (You might start thinking ahead)

Momma is also going to love the ease of putting any downloaded pictures of Emmie and I on her shutterfly. com account for future use. From there she can choose which one she wants to use for her cards or wall calendars and shutterfly will never delete any of her photos! How easy does that sound!

If that sounds easy, you might try being wordy like me and blogging about this great deal so other mommies and daddies can get the word out and take advantage of the fabulous deals at Shutterfly! Just follow this link and you can be like me, except now I have to go take a nap...boohoo! I would rather play with Tinkerbell and Elmo!http://blog.shutterfly.com/5358/holiday2010-blog-submission

Baby Sister is here!!!!!!

My baby sister, Emalyn Eris Caudle, came out of mommy's tummy early in the morning while I was sleeping on August 10th, 2010. I love her soooooo much! She has lots of dark hair and she likes to sleep a lot. I love to give her kisses and put my head next to hers to touch her. I think we are going to be great friends!!! When she cries, I make sure mommy has her "nummy" to give to her, which mommy thinks is really sweet! I try to help baby sister and mommy out when I can...in between my Elmo time, of coarse!

Baby Sister's due date....

Today is the day that my baby sister is supposed to be here! Mommy is getting really sad though because she isn't here yet. I came 2 weeks early and baby sister is running late! I just really REALLY wanted to meet everyone, but baby sister seems happy in mommies belly for now. I wish she would come out and play. If she doesn't come soon, the man with the white coat is going to put mommy in the hospital and give her medicine until she comes out. I think dada said it is going to be on August 10th if she isn't born soon! I love you baby sister!

I'm SOOOO Embarrassed...

Mommy found a video today of me at 5 months old that she said was way tooo cute not to put on my blog. I'm a little embarrassed because it is of me completely naked except for my hair bow, laughing and giggling when mommy tickles and kisses me! I admit it was really fun at the time, but I can't believe she is making me put this on my story! Oh well...mommy wins again!

My Buddy...Case

Mommy was going through some things on our computer and she found a video of my buddy Cas e and I. Case is bigger than me (he is 13 months old in this, and I am just turning 10 months) He is funny, but I kind of like the Nilla wafer that Mrs. Holly let me have better right now. Anyway, Case lives in a town called Colorado Springs. Mommy and Daddy took me there to visit some of their friends. I had a really good time seeing new faces and playing with my new friend. Maybe soon, Momma and Dadda will move there so we can play. I miss you Case, I hope to see you soon.

Reading, Reading, Reading....

Here I am reading about my ABC's sitting in my favorite chair! I LOVE to read! Dada says I will probably have a library in my room soon. Also, this is my Tinkerbell chair, and I love her sooo much. I lean over and give her kisses on my chair everyday! I also have my blankie with me too! Blanket goes with me just about everywhere. Mommy calls me "Little Linus". Whatever that means!

My new things...

I have so many new things that I like to do right now at 1 1/2 years old..

1. I love to watch Tinkerbell and give her kisses on my "tinkerbell" chair.
2. I love to feed the fishies in my fish tank. Mommy and Dada got me them for Easter.
3. I have a pink baby stroller that I love to take room-to-room and load up everything I find in it. Then I like to push it around with my baby doll and blankie on top. I wonder why I can't get it through the door sometimes though. It is so full, so I get mad.
4. I have begun the "art" of doing temper tantrums. Mainly, I cling on to mommy and won't let her go when I am mad. Sometimes, I throw up too!
5. My new words/phrases are....apple, fishies, bubbles, blanket, "Can I have a sip of that?", "what's that?", shoes, socks, bath, among a few....
6. I love chocolate milk and ice cream sandwiches!
7. I am getting really good with the fork and spoon. I even keep it upright with the food getting into my mouth! Yeah!
8. I love anything to do with water. Nana and Papa got me a water table for summer, and I love to play and splash in it. Mommy says I have to wear a swimsuit while I play with it now, since I get so wet!
9. I have LOTS of new teeth. They are all in except a few on the top now.
10. I LOVE to show off my belly button to people, along with giving baby sister kisses on mommy's belly!

Silly Mommy!

Iwanted to make sure I got a picture of mommy and I being silly on here. I haven't had a chance to put many pictures up lately since mommy has to show me how to do things still, and she has been REALLY sick with my baby sister growing in her belly!

My beads!

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to show off my new beads! I just love to wear them ALL day long and look pretty. I wish I had one of every color, but these will do for now. I even had to wear my silver one after the bath. I walked around naked and all, but had to have my beads as soon as I got out of my bubbles!!! I am such the little lady!

I'm 18 months old!

Well, mommy took me to see my doctor for my 18 month checkup and I am still really small! I weigh just under 20lbs, but they rounded up for me, so really I am 20 lbs and I am 30 inches tall now!!!! Hooray! The doctor looked in my ears and eyes and said I am healthy, but I didn't like that much. He also listened to me talk and jabber on...I said my favorite word for him too today, which is APPLE! He was fun, but I didn't like it there because of my shots and they pricked my finger too. I am beginning to not like going to the doctor now. YUCK

Picture time!

I'm going to tell mommy that we need to put new pictures of me on here. I also want everyone to see my funny scary face that I make, so maybe I will pose for mommy and daddy at dinner sometime! :-)

My 15 month checkup...

I had to go to the doctor on Monday, March 1st to see the doctor. He is a really nice man. I like him, but I don't really like his nurse friend because she made me cry when I had to get measured and then she stuck me with something sharp. They said I weigh 18 lbs now and Iam 28 1/2" tall. I am in the 3% for my weight and in the 5-10 for my height, whatever that means! Mommy said that it means 97% of the kids my age are bigger than me in weight, and about 90% are taller than me. I guess I am just little, but healthy!!!!

I'm having a SISTER!

I just wanted everyone to know that I am going to have a little sister. Mommy and Daddy found out yesterday that the baby in mommy's belly is a little girl like me!! I hope I like her. I think it will be fun to be a big sister. She is supposed to be born on August 2nd, but mommy thinks she will be a little early! Yeah!

Snow. Snow. Snow

I woke up this morning with mommy and my blankie to HUGE snowflakes falling. It is really pretty to see. Mommy says it is going to snow all day today, so we might not go shopping but it is soooo pretty. Maybe I will play in it later! For now, I will settle for my oatmeal and milk with my blankie at my side!

I am Linus...

Linus, who? Mommy keeps saying that I am just like Linus from Charlie Brown, but I don't know who that is. I just LOVE carrying around my soft green blankie all day. I don't care if it gets dirty, it has to go with me everywhere I go! It is my best friend! I wake up and take it out of my crib. I eat with it, I carry it around and play peek-a-boo with mommy. I cry everytime mommy takes it away to wash it. Mommy and Dada say I look really cute, but I'm just playing with my best friend!

Cora + Blankie = Best Friends Forever!

Happy Berfday Dada!

Happy Berfday Dada! I luv u! I wish u were here to play with me today, but Mommy says u had to make me some $. By the way, I love elephants and frogs! hehe

My 1st Halloween!

Here I am with my 1st pumpkin! I was more interested in the falling leaves though at the moment!

I was a beautiful little elephant for Halloween! I love elephants so much! Mommy made my costume and fixed my ears! She even dressed up as a witch! Halloween is Mommy's favorite holiday, so we had lots of fun. I didn't eat my candy because I was too little, but mommy said she would eat if for me!

Me and my 1st pumpkin. I am not sure what it is for, but everyone says I look cute sitting next to it! Mommy loves the fall, so she especially thought I was cute!

Pictures of Me Now

Here I am with Mommy and Dada at the Myriad Gardens downtown in the fall. I am almost 1 year old!

I love this picture of Dada and me. We are best buddies. He loves to turn me upside down and give me kisses. We fly in the air, and we play peak-a-boo with my favorite green blankie!

I am showing off my two bottom teeth, but I have 6 teeth now and 3 molars coming in!

My Oh MY...

Well, it has been a really long time since I posted anything and so much has happened. I am so sad that Mommy and I haven't kept up with my Big Story! Oh well, a little person like me has just been so interested in new things, so I have kept busy being a curious little monkey!

Here's the top 10:

1. I am now 13 months old.

2. I weighed 17 lbs at my 12 month dr. appt and I was 27 3/4 " long. (I am getting bigger, but I am still only in the 5% of all the other babies my age.

3. I am walking ALL ON MY OWN now, and I am practically running all over the house. Mommy has to chase me everwhere! I started walking officially 2 days before I turned 1!

4. I adore Curious George and Kayla, the blue elephant George plays with all the time! They make me laugh!

5. I have 6 teeth (4 on top, 2 on bottom), with 3 molars coming in right now, so it has been rough on me and my parents! OUCH!!!

6. I like to put toys down the toilet thingy and watch them float in the water. It's fun, but Mommy doesn't like it!

7. I'm not nursing anymore. I stopped nursing from Mommy a week ago today. Mommy is sad, but I was just ready for my milk and regular foods! I am a big girl now!

8. I love to chase Nala, my best friend, around the house with my arms outstretched! We have a good time. She makes me laugh and giggle. I don't think Nala likes it so much though. She is my old doggie and wants to sleep.

9. I LOVE to open and close the doors to things too, so Mommy says I am a big help. She tells me to close the doors to things and I do it. It is fun. I am learning new things everyday!

10. I am going to be a BIG SISTER! Mommy has a baby in her tummy and is almost 4 months along! My brother or sister will be here on August 2nd, but Mommy says the baby will probably come early like I did! Yeah!
