Mommy and I went out for some errands tonight and when we got home, there were cars in our parking spots.  She went and told the lady she had to move her car and as she came to the door, we noticed she has a puppy!!  We finally got the car situation figured out and our next door neighbor offered to let us in to play and meet her puppy!!!

She's smaller than baby Hayley!!!  I got to hold her, her name is Misty.  Mommy made me sit down so I could hold her in my hands.  She's only 7 weeks old and so cute.  I was laughing and loving her.  We'll have to go play with her again real soon!!

Today is Mommy's birthday!!  I'm going to be a good girl for her.  After Daddy came home from running errands, we had some breakfast and then got dressed.  We hit the grocery store for a few things and then went to my favorite place, Creature Comforts!!  I love that pet store.  So many birds and fish and mice to hang out with.  I always run around looking at all the fish. 

Today, I got to take some home!!!  I really wanted a Nemo fish (clownfish) though.  Mommy said not yet.  She said when I get older and she doesn't have to take care of me as much, we'll get a salt water aquarium and have a Nemo fish or two. 

When the girl was netting out my fish, there was one in the tub and Mommy asked what I wanted to name him.  I said "Bubbles."  I couldn't believe it, they said ok and the lady started fishing out another fish!!  I named this one "Nemo."  (Mommy's comment=Go figure!!!)  One is orange and white and the other is orange and black. They are funny and I really like to watch them eat. 

After nap time, Daddy had to leave to go work at the Zoo and Mommy and I hung out.  We played and I colored pictures while Mommy made dinner and then she gave me a bath.  She hasn't given me a bath in ages.  That's Daddy's job!!  It was a lot of fun.  I got some new toys to go in the tub.  Some measuring cups are pretty neat.  Mommy was making the one cup fart on me and I kept laughing my head off.  She is wondering if I'm really a boy because I laugh at burps and farts!!! 

I was such a good girl for Mommy, after bath, I went right to bed!!  I did call for Daddy a few times but I kept forgetting he was at work.  I'll see him in the morning. 

Happy Birthday Mommy!!

Merry Christmas to all my friends and family!!

We had a great day.  I woke up and was really surprised to see presents under the tree.  I couldn't even wait to get my diaper changed before opening presents. 

Santa was really good to me this year.  I got a pair of roller skates, a Doodle Pro, some new coloring books, alphabet flash cards, an art desk and a fish tank. 

After opening every present, I said "oh wow!"  I really enjoyed playing with all my new stuff and then Mommy and Daddy made me take a nap early.  We had to be at Great Grandma Kay's at 2pm.  We were a little late though because Mommy and Daddy weren't as organized as they had thought.  I wonder what they are going to do when Zia gets here?? 

I love seeing all the people on the Knapp side of the family.  There are soooooo many of them!!  I really enjoyed playing with the older kids and my favorite part was meeting Hayley.  Mommy made me sit on the couch so I could hold her.  I pointed out her eyes, her nose, her toys, her hair.  I kept giving her kisses on the top of her head.  Everyone thought we were the most precious things.  Everyone thinks I'm going to be a good big sister.  Mommy is scared that all I'll want to do is hold her.  We shall see.  I know I'm going to love my sister.  Based on holding baby Hayley who is only 3 weeks old, I know I'm going to love Zia. 

We had some yummy food and I played with Jordan.  He kept falling down and I just laughed and laughed at him.  We were the last to leave because as things started to calm down, Mommy and I got more and more relaxed and enjoyed the day. 

I got a new dollie from Great Grandma but I put it someplace and we forgot it.  We'll have to make another trip out there to get it soon.  I have all her clothes, but no baby.  Not like I leave the clothes on babies or anything. 

When we got home, I put on my skates and colored and hung out with all my new stuff.  Mommy and Daddy are really wanting to get everything back to normal soon.  The apartment is crazy messy with everything!

We hope everyone had a great day with friends and family!

We had Christmas Eve at Aunt Leslie's house this year.  It was really fun.  I ran around and ate crackers and pretzels.  Mommy wasn't very happy with me for not eating some "real" food, but what is she supposed to do force it down my throat?  Hanging out with the Johnston's is always fun.  I really wanted to play with Cousins Johnnie and Robert, but those boys only wanted to fight so I just ran around and back and forth.  I got to watch the end of the Grinch and hang out with family. 

We stopped at Grandma Patty's for a few before hand and really had a good time there too.  Thanks for everything!

I went to bed as soon as we got home because Santa is coming.  I did get to play with my new toothbrush and iPuppy. 

We had an awesome time in Buffalo.  Thanks to Grammie and Grandpa for everything.  Especially to Grammie for helping us shovel out when we got stuck.    Mommy got all the pictures up that we have so far.  She said the journal page will have to wait because I'm not letting her type properly because I'm sitting in her lap banging on the keyboard and playing with stuff on the table that I'm not allowed to play with.  Mommy should know better than to do computer stuff when I'm awake. 

Pretty much as soon as we woke up, we had to leave.  We didn't know how the roads were going to be because of the crappy weather yesterday and it's a good thing we left early.  We were really sad to leave, but ran into some crappy weather in Syracuse.  A bunch of cars in the ditch and slow driving through the whole area.  Once we got south of Syracuse though it was great.  We ran through the McDonalds to go potty and grab me some french fries.  I really like french fries. 

I took a bit of a nap but not long.  Long enough to refresh me.  When we got home, Daddy had to run out so Mommy and I packed up all my old toys into totes and put them in my room.  This way we have more room for all my new toys.  All my animals are upstairs too.  I really like going up and down the stairs to play with stuff up there. 

I love my sit-n-spin and all the rest of my cool things.  Thanks to my family in Buffalo for the great things.  We had an awesome time!

I woke up this morning to find Cousin Jacob in Grammie's house!! I really like playing with him even if he doesn't really like to play with me.  I bet he gets better with me when I get a little bit older and can play hockey with him. 

As soon as Daddy and Aunt Alyssa woke up, we got to open our Christmas presents.  I got a new baby doll, a kitchen and a bunch of other cool things.  I was really funny because I opened the present from Jacob and then I didn't want to open anything else!  I just wanted to play with my baby.  Jacob picked him out all by himself.  I got a bunch of new puzzles too.  I'm so good at doing them now. 

We did a lot of playing and I really wanted to go play outside, but I refused to let everyone get me dressed up.  So I stayed inside.  It was a blizzard outside.  Tons of snow and blowing snow.  I took a nap instead.

Miss Beth, Jessie and Kayla came over after my really short nap with Daddy and I got to open presents again!  We had some yummy food and I love my new coloring book, crayons, Mr Potato Head and Elmo Phone.  I loved playing with Kayla and chasing her around and having her chase me around.  Kayla is so fun to play with.  I bet she'll be a good babysitter when I get a little older. 

I spent the rest of the day playing with all my new toys.  What a great Christmas. 

Mommy let me and Daddy sleep in this morning because we were up so late last night.  I had some breakfast while Mommy and Daddy packed and cleaned up.  Then we hopped in the car and headed to Buffalo.  It was a great trip.  I got to watch Nemo a bunch of times. 

We stopped in Bath for some lunch.  While I was eating my food, a woman came up to us and commented on what a good girl I am.  She said when her two girls were younger they couldn't go anywhere because they were naughty.  She said I'm beautiful and Mommy and Daddy are lucky.  Of course, they already know that, but it's nice to be reminded by a stranger and to hear how much of a well behaved little girl I am is nice too.

I didn't sleep at all on our way.  Mommy was really worried about that.  I started getting cranky when we were close but Mommy and Daddy made my baby doll dance and that always makes me laugh. 

I was really really excited to see Grammie and Grandpa!!  They had to leave shortly after we got there to go bowling. Mommy and Daddy took advantage of that and ran out to the mall to grab a few presents.  It was really busy.  We didn't stay long because they didn't bring my stroller and I was really tired and the mall was really busy.  We got what we went for and left. 

We had some dinner and then Mommy let me play for a little bit and then she put me to bed.  I went without a fight.  Mommy was really excited about that.  Grammie was sad though because she came home I was sleeping already.  Later that night, cousin Jacob and Uncle Keith and Aunt Alyssa came to beat the snowstorm that was supposed to hit on Sunday.
