Ho Ho Ho!
So, Christmas was this week. As I've mentioned before, I'm a little bewildered by some of the stuff that goes on around this town. They tell me this "Christmas" is a big deal, so I was willing to go along with it, since everyone else seemed to enjoy it.
I didn't even complain when they put these antlers on me at the grocery store. Of course, I did pretend to be asleep ...

I asked my big sister to give me some inside information about Christmas, but the look on her face here tells me she may not be telling me everything. I'm not sure this idea of hanging socks beside the fireplace is, you know, up to the local fire codes, but I suppose I'll go along with it.

Ok, I do like the lights on the Christmas tree. A lot.

And I got some pretty cool stuff too. Maybe Christmas isn't so bad after all.

What's that you say? I have to wait HOW MANY days for it to happen again?

Blue light special
I have a great bouncy seat that has music and flashing lights to entertain me in my leisure time. Recently I've developed a special relationship with one of the blue lights - it makes me coo and giggle.

What Exactly is This "Christmas" Thing?
Everybody keeps talking about "Christmas." I want to know what it's all about, because as far as I can tell, it's an excuse to dress me in strange clothing ...

take me to outdoor "tree lighting" ceremonies (you can read more about this little adventure over at the big pink blog) ...

and stuff me into large stockings.

Resli tells me it's actually fun and that at some point I get presents, but I remain dubious.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's Off to Work We Go ...
A couple of days ago I got to spend a couple of hours at my daddy's office. Lots of people wanted to hold me, including Daddy's friend Debbie. She's has a grandbaby too, so she knows how to hold us - I was comfortable enough with her to take a little nap.

There's so much to do at WUFT that I just couldn't handle it all. Daddy said it would be ok if I just took a nap in his arms while he answered some email at his desk.

I suppose work is ok if you really have to do it, but I think I'll spend the next few years playing instead if it's alright with everyone.

Expanding My Rolodex
This Is How I Roll ...
People get all hung up on "developmental milestones" like rolling over. I don't know what all the fuss is about - I'm only five weeks old and I rolled over just this morning. It's really easy - here, I'll show you how:
First, get good grip on a really cool orange and blue blanket ...

then push really hard ...

this is the tricky part, but don't get scared ...

and then, well, just, you know, FLIP! And try not to roll into the table leg.

What? Only a 9.0 from one of the judges? I nailed that dismount!
