Christmas tree 2010

Here's a picture of our tree from this year. Mama says it's light on ornaments because she didn't want to turn it into a horse tree. But she didn't have too many that were not horse themed.

The snowman guards the presents!

Mama got some unbreakable ornaments for the next couple of years. Nothing fancy, but some are sparkly and some are shiny and I will be able to hang them up.

Pre-Christmas at Oma's house

I got this neat erasable writing toy, which I still use in the car


I got a new stacking toy, and I do really good Dr. Seuss impressions with the rings.

I got a flashlight of my very own!


The mixing truck was a big hit!

I tried to teach Oma how to juggle

Grandma was trying to figure out my new bead toy and getting upset that she couldn't get all the beads to to "match" in the "proper" patterns. It was kind of funny.

Daddy and I hanging out, playing with my loot!

Everybody's crazy 'bout sharp dressed men!

Daddy got dressed up, and I wanted to "help", so he gave me a tie as well.

Look at us!

I got my paws on the camera, and took this picture of Daddy (with a little help from Mama.)

In the can

Well, actually it was in my "big boy" potty! I had my first successful session this morning, and a proper fuss was made by Mama and Daddy.

Now to get my communication skills up to speed so we can have more of these events. (This would make Mama very happy--she's grumbling about the costs of diapers.)

Brothers

Handsome devils, aren't we?

Big shoes to fill

OK, so maybe big slippers is a better description.

Swimming lessons

Mama did not learn to swim until she was a teenager, and she wanted to make sure that I learned before I was that age. So I have just completed my first round of swimming lessons. Daddy got to come and help one day, and that meant that pictures were taken.


Here I am kicking up a storm towards the end, even if I did complain about it.

To end the session, I went down the frog tongue slide. Daddy did actually get the whole thing.

The videos are taking a long time to load, so Mama will need to get the others up later.
