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!

My first 10 steps!

I took off walking when I saw the doggy on Thursday night. Dada wasn't ready.for me to take off like that. He said I was very amibitious! I like to walk... so when I saw Mommy come home from the grocery store I decided to surprise her too! I started walking to her by taking 4 steps...balanced...took 6 more steps and stopped! ALL ON MY OWN!!! She was really excited and shocked. We were all smiling and very excited!

9 months old!

I am officially 9 months old now and I went to the doctor for my checkup. I weigh 15lbs 12 oz and I am 261/2 inches long. I am still a tiny little girl, but I will try to catch up with the rest of them soon!
