Just because

Mom laid out a big blanket and a bunch of toys for me to play with one day in the office so she could work on some homework and, well, I had other plans. I was to loud though so mom caught me digging around in the gift closet. She should have known better. I don't stay on a blanket anymore.

This is one of my favorite spots in the house. Playing in front of the mirror with dad. I love mom's perfume bottles. They never let me touch them though. One day I will be big enough and I will get them.


Mom says I look cute here. I think maybe mom shouldn't be left alone with me in the bath anymore. Although dad wasn't much help he got mom the camera. :)

Alfalfa?

Mom was really funny this day.

I just won't let mom catch me dancing on video, but it is sure cute when I do it!

Monae's birthday

Monae and her cake made by my mom and dad

This is me by my cousin Matea who is two months older than me. Couldn't you tell that by looking at our sizes ;)


Look at me I can fly

I was NOT short on attention this day.

Happy Birthday to you

swimming

My cousin Blake (aka Cheeks) called me two Fridays ago and asked if I wanted to go swimming. He said he had fun with me in the bath and thought we could play in the pool better. So we went. I thought it was OK, I was really tired though so I mostly sat there and watched the other kids. Mom and dad got more excited than me I think, they were so anxious and taking all sorts of pictures. I guess it was because it was my first time. They did tell me though that this would be good practice for our Kampling family vacation this summer to Great Wolf Lodge. I hope I have as much fun as they think I will there.

snow

Here I am in the snow. I didn't do much other than sit there, but still it was something new. Mom had been telling me for days she needed pictures of me in the snow, but had to have someone here to help her as she didn't want to just sit me there and then walk away so she could take pictures. Then this day dad got home early enough from work that the sun was still out. It was pretty neat that snow, but man was it cold. Mom says maybe next year I can have some snow ice cream. Sounds delicious.

superbowl

We had some friends over for the super bowl again this year, but I only took pictures of one thing. Jaren and, our friends Tisha and Caleb's baby, Cadyn. Cadyn is two months younger than Jaren. I will also say though, in Jaren's defense, that she was born 6 weeks premature. While we know Jaren is huge this makes it look that much worse.

We had a great time with wonderful company. We enjoyed playing with the babies, eating the good food, and watching the commercials, since the game wasn't much to watch.

VOTE for ME!!!

To try and explain this quickly. Mom got bored on one of our snow days and had been reading one of her new parent magazines when she came across a cover contest for the magazine. Well, Amy had just brought over my adorable 6 month pictures so mommy entered me into this contest.

Then yesterday she got an e-mail from the magazine that they selected one of the 6 pictures mom entered to be in a separate contest for this week and to have people vote for it. So here is the link so you can go vote if you have time. I don't think I can win anything other than pride for my mom and dad on how darn adorable I am.

It's a GIRL!

Yesterday early morning at 4:23 to be exactly, I became a big cousin for the first time!!! My aunt Nikki and Uncle Bob had a baby girl. Her name is Mariah Lynn Trujillo (Lynn is after my grandma Cheryl) She was 8 pounds 4 ounces and 19 inches long. Her and aunt Nikki are both doing well and actually at home right now :)

Mom took me to see my new cousin last night and she was awake a lot of the time and eating like a champ. Don't worry though guys she has a long way to go to catch up with these thighs. Mom kept talking about how cute her ears were, but I think mom is crazy some of the time - who really looks at the ears?

Anyway here is a picture of her. Now I have to wait until May to be a big cousin again, when my uncle Todd and aunt Rhonda have their baby (boy?)
