From.my.very.own.camera!

Thanks Nene and Duke!
I just had to add the one of me standing on my head (I am sure you know I didn't take that one but that is my life...SILLY!)

Catching up on life...

I haven't posted much in January, especially these last few days because I was experiencing computer difficulties. Mommy and daddy set up the computer now so I can't change settings. Honestly, I like all the black screen, the voice navigation and no keyboard (the mouse is much more fun any way).
Well, I thought I should catch up on life before I turn three...you know get all my ducks in a row before the big day. January has been fun! Uncle Dave came to visit for Papa's birthday so that was a fun day all around. We got more snow! Sledding is fun but I think falling off is more fun. Hady and I had a lot of fun playing together. She can almost crawl! I still like to take pictures and Hadley is my favorite subject. Nene and Duke aren't going to be around for my big day so they gave me my present a little early...my very own camera! Wait till you see what I capture when I have my own camera to carry around!
Well, here are some pictures from the month so far....stay tuned for my big birthday celebrations. I took one of the photos...can you guess which one?

Hady's 8 months old...

Let's see what is new with Hady....She turned 8 months old a few days ago! She has been a big part of our lives these last 8 months.
And there are a few other things that are new...
She has two teeth (almost).
She is so close to crawling.
She loves to stand up but falls over without any notice. I try to stay away or I get blamed for knocking her over. (She is really clumsy.)
She likes to make funny noises. Who knows what she is saying...I sure don't. It probably goes something like this "Geez, I have the coolest big brother in the world."
She claps.
Mommy and daddy are trying to teach her sign language but she just claps.
Here are some pictures from her 8 month birthday. My big day is coming up soon! 8 months is nothing...I will be 3!

Photography by Rice...

So when I dream of what I want to be when I grow up...mommy and daddy always say 'dream big.' I have big dreams...just let me tell you.
Today I dreamed of being a race car driver, an airplane pilot, an artist, a daddy, a train conductor and a photographer. I get to practice all these things on a daily basis. I race cars around the family room, I fly planes high above the couches, I paint and color and draw, I love on my baby sister, I put train track together with daddy then blow my train horn as loud as I can and I take pictures with mommy's camera.
Today if I had to choose just one...I would choose to be a photographer. Here are some pictures from my studio.

Jump and fly around...

Today called for a little afternoon fun (I think everyday does but today we photographed it).
PS...It is hard to tell but my feet are off the ground in all the pictures. Just check out the crazy 'do in pic number one if you don't believe it!

A little love...

Nothing like a little love in the morning. It is snow day number two and we are hanging in our PJs, playing with our mountain of toys. I was waiting for Hadley to wake up so I could smother her with love. Mommy gave in and woke her up at 8:30. Seriously, who sleeps till 8:30 in this house?
I think Reagan is getting a little annoyed that she doesn't have a quiet house this morning...But we all know she loves us (hair pulling, chasing and all).

More snow...

So the snow kept falling all day and late in the day mommy bundled me and Hadley up and we headed outside to play. I threw snow at mommy (she said I couldn't throw it at Hadley), we took a ride in the sled (mommy wouldn't let me and Hadley go down the big hill so we just went down the street...it was still fun), I ran and rolled in the snow so much I had it in my pants and Hadley loved every minute of it (I think...it is tough to tell because she only smiled a few times but she didn't cry).

SNOW DAY!

Mommy was just back at work 6 days before we got a snow day. I love snow days...they are the laziest days around. You stay in your PJs, you get dressed just to go out in the fresh blanket of snow, you play outside until your nose freezes and then come inside for hot chocolate, then you spend the afternoon playing and playing and playing and playing...
The snow is still falling outside and our freshly shoveled driveway is now covered again. I think we will have to go outside again to shovel the driveway and play in the snow.

Sunday...

I like Sundays. I especially like today. Spent the morning chilling in my PJs, playing with my train, then I got to go get a new fish with grandpa. It lives at grandpa's house but since I picked it out I will kind of claim it as my fish. But while I was out on the town with grandpa, Hady was hanging in the kitchen with mommy. Who knew pots, cups and spoons could be minutes of fun? Nothing occupies Hady for hours...but we still love her!

The beginning of a new year...

Mommy went back to work and Hadley and I get to go to school five days a week. I know mommy misses us and I miss her but it is fun to be with my friends everyday. Molly, Elise, Adeline, Milo...those are my besties and Hadley has her whole group of baby friends. But we spend the afternoon playing with mommy and eachother. I really can't remember life without Hadley. She is so fun to have around all the time. I love her! Here are a few pictures of our (quiet) afternoons at home...Yesterday definitely wasn't very quiet since we got our instruments out and sang away.
