The Beer's: winter wonderland....

As usual time is flying and I continue

to be a busy body....

learning so many things

and growing up WAY TOO FAST.

I can now say the following names:

Abby, Emme, Lacey, Bop Bop,

Fuzzy, Beans, Bryn, & Brecky

and of coarse- Papa, Daddy, Mommy, Grandma....

My vocabulary is becoming quite extensive

and I'm getting really good at repeating.

I can say help, tractor, shovel,

kitty, puppy, cow, baby, belly, up,

please, thank you, mine, block,

cheese, treat, and SO much MORE

Lately Mommy has been working some extra

shifts and getting in some extra classes

before the baby comes so most weeks

I've been going to daycare all 5 days.

I don't mind because I love daycare and

being around other kids, it's a good routine for me.

But once baby gets here we'll get back to the

usual 3 days/week and I'll get to spend

2 weekdays home with mommy & baby.

Daddy is REALLY dreading getting TWO

of us ready in the mornings, he says I'm

quite the handful to chase around

most mornings.

I'm also becoming mr. independent and

wanting to do many things for myself,

I get pretty bucky if you try to offer me help

when I'm adament to do things on my own.

At home I still sleep really well in my crib,

therefore- me and the baby will each have

our own crib (thanks to Brandon and Abby,

I won't have to share!)

I still go down like a dream most nights,

typically around 10:00pm. I sleep through

the night and my usual wake time is 7-7:30am.

If someone will snuggle me and feed me milk in

the mornings then I will usually sleep in until 9am!!

I love hanging with my cousins, even if they're girls!

They have fun toys like this princess phone--

I just love to talk on telephones.

Plus look at this sweet ride,

I'm rocking this hot pink babie-mobile!

They even have fun dress up clothes,

check out these high heels!

It's not too often we get family photo shoots

anymore so mom's gotta sneak a selfie

in when the opportunity arises!

And here's the other growing baby in

my mommy's belly...

Whoa- that baby sure takes up a lot of room!!

It's fun to play dress up in mommy's closet too-

I mostly like to try on her hats, headbands,

and jewlery!

I occassionally get to take tubbies in this swirly tub,

although I'm not real fond of the swirlies!

but I do have a fascination with turning the water

spouts on, which mom doesn't prefer.

If she won't help me up I'm resourceful

enough to find my own way to reach things

that I'm determined to get at!

I stacked these boxes of soap and climbed

right up, voila!

                                                     My mommy, daddy, and I went on a
                                                       family vacation to the Holiday Inn
                                                           waterpark hotel in Owatonna,
                                                    I had lots of fun swimming in the pool,
                                                  playing in the arcade, and running through
                                                  the halls/riding the elevator! I made supper
                                                 especially exciting when I pushed a small piece
                                                   of my fruit loop up my nose to the point
                                                of no return-- mommy couldn't see it anymore
                                                     and couldn't get me to blow my nose to
                                                    make it come out-- she thought for a while
                                                we were going to have to make our first ER visit
                                                  but luckily a snot avalanche broke loose and
                                                                             out it came!

                                                                    I love pop-tarts,
                                                      luckily I didn't have to wait 30 minutes
                                                          after eating to get in the water!

                                                                   I think the most fun part
                                                     about the water park was the spouts that
                                                                   shoot water up in the air!

Oh, and my water gun!

Daddy took me down a really big

water slide in a tube like this,

the look on my face convinced mom

that I wasn't a fan!

But I didn't mind this little water slide,

I even went down by myself!

The tubby in the hotel room proved

to be just as amusing!

Mommy and daddy thought I might

be fascinated to see the neat animals

at cabelas... little did they know this

display model trike would hold my

attention and keep me entertained

to a much further extent than those animals!

Mommy's been on daddy's case to get a few

last minute projects done around the house so

she can continue to make room for the baby....

so a man's gotta do what a mommy tells him to do--

Here daddy and I are making some shelves and

storage space for all mommy's junk!

and here we are setting up

the baby's crib-- although,

I much rather preferred to play in it!

                                                           I really like kitties and puppies,
                                                          at auntie Manda's house I get to
                                                                       play with both!
