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.
