Snow day!

I've seen a little snow over the last 11 weeks but today we had a real snow storm. Mommy and Daddy had to shovel a lot. They said I'll get my turn in a few years. It looks hard so I'm not sure if I want a turn.

Back to the grind

Mommy went back to work today. I'm sad.

Night Out

Mommy and Daddy have a hot date so I'm going to spend the night at Grammie and Pop-pop's house. It will be my first night sleeping in a different crib. But I'm sure it's just the first of many nights spent away from home because I'm going to be a traveling girl.

I like long weekends. Mommy, Daddy, and me had more time to play and cuddle. All weekends should be long weekends. Why haven't you grown ups figured how to make that happen? Oh well, when I'm President...

Helping hands

We packed 20,000 meals for Haiti. Not just Mommy, Daddy, and me - there were about 100 people working together after church. It was pretty neat and I got "youngest volunteer" status. Whoo-hoo. Wonder if I can start racking up the community service hours now for that future high school requirement.

Baptism Day

Dozens of family and friends gathered at Cathedral to celebrate my Baptism. Father Hugh (a cousin, too!) did a great job as celebrant. I was awake and happy (i.e. quiet) during the service, even with Father Hugh doused me with water and annointed me with oil. My godparents, Andrew F., Alec, Rachel, and Andrew M., all looked so good standing at the alter with Mommy, Daddy, and me. Even my grandparents participated by putting on the special white garmet/bib and lighting the Baptism candle. We had a big party afterward and everyone said how pretty I looked in my gown, which was Mommy's Baptism gown (many, many years ago!).

Baby New Year

I didn't have to wear wings and a diaper but I was still Baby New Year at our house. I woke up at midnight to see the fireworks (on TV) and Skype with Grammie and Pop-Pop so they could see and talk to me. Skype is my new thing!
