Merry Christmas to All!!

Hi Family and Friends! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I sure did! It was three whole days of fun!

On Sunday, I went to my Uncle George and Aunt Laurie's house in Rochester for the Peterson family Christmas! My Grandma and Grandpa Peterson were there! My Uncle John, Aunt Christine, and cousins, Matt, Tim, Sarah and Sam were there! My Great-Aunt Jean was there! And of course, my cousins, Sarah, Karlie and Jenna were there because they live there! I had so much fun seeing everyone...it was hard to leave.

On Christmas Eve, I went with Dad to Grandpa Peters' in Canisteo in the morning. We hung out there until the afternoon so Mom could get some stuff done at home. When we got home, we quickly got ready for church. We met Aunt Shannon and Sadie there. I loved all the singing and clapping! After church, we all headed back to Canisteo to go to Uncle Dan and Aunt Sue's house where they had the Peters' family Christmas! I got to see lots of family, including my newest cousin, Coby Peters who is only 1 week old.

Today was Christmas! I wasn't too interested in opening presents up this morning. Mom opened up some new toys I got yesterday and I was much more interested in playing with those. My Grandma and Grandpa Peters came over around 10 AM. I got to see them for a while before I took my nap. When I woke up, my Great-Grandpa and Grandma Young were here too! I finally decided to open up some gifts and I got some great things! New toys, new clothes, new books! I can't wait to have more time to play with them all!

Thank you to everyone for making this such a special first Christmas! I love you!!

Exploring the Outdoors

Yesterday, Daddy bundled me all up and took me outside to explore! I got to wear my snow pants for the first time and really crawl around outside all on my own! Mom and Dad were worried about my hands getting cold, since my mittens weren't really made for crawling around, so they put my slipper boots on my hands!! Don't I look funny?!! Delia and Blossom were outside playing too. You can see them behind me where they were jumping and wrestling in the snow.

Here is me the other morning riding around on my little car. See all my teeth! I have 6 of them now, four on top and two on bottom!

Busy, Busy, Busy!!

Sorry it has been so long since my last post! Things have been really busy these past few weeks, lots of preparation for the holidays and with my new mobility, I am busy exploring the world!! Not only do I crawl all over, but I pull myself up on things and crusing around holding onto furniture. This opens up a whole new level of things for me to get into! I sure do keep Mom and Dad busy!

By now everyone should have gotten or will soon be getting our Christmas cards. Those pictures were such a fun day! Mommy bundled me up and took me outside where Dad had the dogs harnessed up to a sled. They pulled me around for a while and then Dad stopped them so we could take some photos. It was my first time playing out in the snow. The pictures are cute, but so is this video of my first sledding experience!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!

One of my favorite things to do these days is pull myself up holding onto the windowsill and looking out the window. The other day when I looked out there was white stuff all over the ground. Mom said it is called snow and that it can be lots of fun to play in.

Sometimes the blinds are down, but that doesn't stop me from taking a peek.

Second Thanksgiving in Arcade

On Friday, Dad took the day off of work and we went to visit my Aunt Michelle, Uncle Joe, cousin Cohen, and my new cousin, Cooper. Grandma & Grandpa Peters came too and we had a second Thanksgiving day feast. It was so fun to play with Cohen's toys, although he wasn't always so thrilled that I was playing with them. That is okay though, I would just move onto the next one.

Here is a photo of my Grandpa Peters with all his grandsons...me, Cohen and Cooper.


On Saturday, we went to Great-Grandpa & Grandma Young's house in Canisteo. There was lots of family visiting from Pennsylvania. There was my Great Aunt Sharon, Uncle Mike, Billy (Daddy's cousin) with his wife, Kathy and kids, Kaitlin and Michael. Plus Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Janine. You know I love a crowd and these were all new people to show off my tricks.

Here is a video Mom took of me last week jumping around in my crib. These are my daily exercises and I usually do them before I go to sleep and when I wake up. It really gets the blood flowing!!
