Whoa, what a busy time of year! I've been having so much fun. Since we last spoke I turned the big 1, I’ve started dancing like a maniac , I hit up Vegas to see my MeMaw and J-Gramps, I ate my first legit Thanksgiving dinner,  spent lots if time with my awesome Uncle J-Bone, grew about a dozen more teeth (ok, maybe only about 4 more- my counting is still not so good), and attended about 5 different family Christmas gatherings.  I know, I’ve been swamped.  How has the holiday season been for you?

My 1^st birthday was fun. Nothing fancy, just hung out with my Mommy, Daddy, and my favorite brother of all time.  Brandon made a super awesome cake for me all by his self. I think he’s been paying attention to Mommy’s cake making.

Lately, I keep myself busy by playing, dancing, clinging to Mommy's legs (mostly when she is trying to walk around), cleaning the floors and storing my findings in my mouth, and hollering. I'm much more playful now. I like to hide behind stuff and pop out or turn my head away and whip it back (it's my version of peek-a-boo). I can be pretty emotional and sometimes Daddy calls me Drama Bear or Angry Bear, but mostly I'm sporting a big 'ol smile.

It was soo fun playing w/ MeMaw and J-Gramps for a weekend. Mommy, Daddy, Nonny, Pops, and Uncle J-Bone went to Vegas for a very belated birthday celebration for Uncle J-Bone. My uncle was far away serving in the military when we were supposed to have had the original get together.

While I was there I got to go see a huge lion and a cool water show. I even went to this buffet and ate almost all of their fruit!! Yum yum! They are the best and I love playing with and loving on them. I wish I could see them all the time!


I also got to visit Nacogdoches, TX. They have leaves there that are bigger than my head!! I had soo much fun walking through them and hearing them crunch under my feet. We went there to visit family. Uncle Tommy and Aunt Peggy's place is amazing. We played outside a whole bunch and ate lots of yummy food. I'm so lucky to have such a great family!

Of course, I got lots of stuff for Christmas. Actually, my toy box lid wont even stay on because it's overflowing w/ super awesome toys. Thank you all for thinking of me!

Love you guys!
