Happy New Year, everyone!

2010 was a good year for me - how was it for you? See you all next year!

Apples

I have what you might call a love-hate relationship with apples.


Applesauce...shudder.


Apple chunks I can gnaw away at, however...yes.

Christmas

After weeks of having to stare at all those deliciously wrapped gifts on the windowsill, I finally got to open them on Christmas.


Grandma and grandpa came to visit me for my first Christmas too.


I got lots of nice new toys, including this great big box.


What a fun day Christmas is!

O Christmas tree

A few weeks ago Daddy brought home a tree. Then him and Mama decorated it with some delicious-looking shiny balls.


Then they put presents under it. So the first chance I got I charged over to one especially tempting bag and tried to rip it open.


Mama and Daddy laughed and said I had to wait until Christmas to open my presents. Oooooh...now I get it.

A swing and a bounce

In a rather futile attempt to keep me entertained and from knocking over the Christmas tree or climbing up on the sofa to eat the remotes, Mama and Daddy have tried many different contraptions.


They say I'm supposed to bounce on this but I'm not really sure yet what I'm doing.


I don't know, but this one seemed a bit weird.


My monster chair is super fun, but I don't ever use it to sit.

I don't know why they try all these things. I'm pretty satisfied with a closet full of diapers to dismantle.

Bal'more, hon

So it seems that we are leaving Amsterdam next month and moving to Baltimore. I don't know much about this new place - only that Mama and Daddy went to college there. Which I guess makes it a great place, because if they hadn't met there, I wouldn't be here writing to you today.

I am pretty excited about living in a new city, having a new room and being closer to a whole bunch of people who want nothing more than to give me hugs all day, every day. I think this is going to be good!

Reunited

This past weekend I met up with my old friend Edgar, remember him?

He's a good guy. He let me destroy his play area and slobber on all of his toys. He objected slightly to my pulling his hair - but that tuft of hair he's got is so tantalizing, I couldn't help myself.

Apple bottom

Solids

Ever since my half birthday, Mama and Daddy have been trying to give me some solid food every day. Sometimes I accept it, sometimes not.

Bananas are a-okay in my book.


Peas are not welcome here.


Oatmeal I am undecided on.

Daddy don't go

Last weekend Daddy went away. I tried to stop him from going but my plan didn't work. Mama reassured me that he'd be back in just a few days.
