Goodbye Snugride,


hello Diplomat!




Dad spent New Year's Day installing my new car seat and lowering the crib to the middle position. I was at the height limit for my infant car seat so I have a really snazzy new one. Mommy is happy she can now fit in the front passenger seat if daddy is driving. Before it was a really tight squeeze with her long(ish) legs.

Holidays!

I had two trips since I last blogged - one to Connecticut and one to Michigan. Here are some of the best photos from the trip. It was wonderful to see so many family members. I never had so many hugs.

I got to open lots of presents. I had some help, but did a pretty good job by myself.

Thanks to everyone who was so generous and got me such fun things!

By visiting Lansing (and East Lansing), I got to step foot in my third state capital (Boston, Hartford, Lansing). I had a little conflict though - I was in East Lansing during a bowl game where they played Boston College. (One is where my great-grandpa taught and one is where Grandpa went to college). Needless to say I did not express my ambivalence to anyone there.

How on earth is this comfortable?

Only babies, with their amazing flexibility could sleep like this....

Visit

We had a lovely visit from our cousins (I think they are technically my first cousin once removed and my second cousin?!) last night. Robby and I were fascinated by the toy trains...

Busy Week

So I have had 2 playdates this week. I am quite the ladies man, I guess. I got to play with 3 different baby girls in just one week. I had lots of fun playing in their exersaucers. Believe it or not I do not have every toy out there, not that I need one. My jumperoo is just as fun! I don't think there is room in our house for it anyway.

I also tried some sweet potatoes. Until today, I had mommy/daddy fooled into thinking I was really getting the hang of this eating thing. However today I didn't want any food.

And there is more to come. My cousins Nikki, Rob, and Robby are going to have dinner with us on Friday. They are coming all the way from California. We also leave for Connecticut in just a few days, and then to Michigan after that so there is sure to be lots of packing going on. Maybe I will be nice and not poop on every outfit every time I wear it and save mom some laundry.

Weekend Trip

I got to visit Keene this weekend and visit with my Great Grandparents and my Great Aunt/Uncle. As you can see, I thought Floppy was super soft and friendly.
