All Smiles

Today I learned to dip my french fry in ketchup. We were sitting at the dinner table and Braeden picked up a french fry and started dipping in his peas...then he realized after watching Dad that it was the red stuff he wanted. We have eaten fries a couple of times since and he definately enjoys dipping every bite in ketchup.

Here I am just hanging out with mom being cute. Mom promises to try and get more picures but I really make it hard for her. Everytime she breaks out the camera I attack her. Just in case you are wondering if what I look like or if I have grown. I always look cute so don't worry about that and I mom says I get heavier everyday so thats got to mean something.

Snow

Look snow in South Carolina. I have lived here a little over three years and this is the first snow I have seen. I did not get a picyure of it but Braeden enjoyed trying to catch the flakes with his hand.

Toast with Strawberry jam

Those of you that know me well know I like to eat. Here I am enjoying eggs and toast with strawberry jam. I thought it was very yummy.

Race Day

My very first doughnut. I was very eager.

Here we are all decked out for race day. It was between 15 and 20 degrees but we survived thanks to all of our Ohio State gear.

Presents

I can't believe it. Its my first wind up toy. Elmo is in a motor boat and after you wind up the propeller he zooms around the bath tub. This is exciting.

I will make a great Buckeye. I already have a team jacket.

One of the trip highlights was my Christmas stocking. It is a reindeer stocking that sings Jingle Bells. It is very fun. I made everyone push the button over and over again.

Wow!A motorcycle! Santa must have been confused; Dad was the one who wanted a motorcycle.

Are these for me?

Christmas was fun although it was really hard to concentrate on opening presents. Next year I will be ripping off the paper. Mom says I have way too many toys but I must disagree. A boy needs options.

Grand Ma and Grand Pa Hallers for Christmas

Me and Grand Pa. I would point and grunt and he would graciously take me to my next destination.

Every kid needs a good set of tables and chairs

The South Carolina State Museum

<
Mom and me spent the day at the museum. There was tons to do. My favorite was the puppet show and the dinsoars come in at a close second. It was a busy day. Towards the end Dad got off early and he played too:)

Child Prodigy

Braeden loves music and any kind of musical noise or rythym. Brent wanted to go ahead and get him a keyboard ,"Just in case he is a child prodigy," but we settled on an Xylophone for starters. This is the day Daddy brought it home. It was a sweet moment as Braeden looked up at his daddy with a face that said,"It looks cool, show me how to make it work."

What sound does the car make?

VROOM..VROOM!

My New Chair

My new chair is so awesome! I can climb in to it myself. I am naturally a lounger so this works out perfectly. In this pic I am also sporting my new "magic shoes." Mom and Dad bought me these shoes for Christmas hoping I would start walking on my own. No luck yet...don't they know its easier if they just take me where I want to go. I am really good at pointing them in the right direction.
