"Boob Horns"

I got into Mommy's things today.  Need I say more...

Smiles, Snow and Snacks!

Today was a big snow day!  We woke up to LOTS of snow and smiles from Harry!

At first, I thought it was too chilly out, but then Mommy showed me the new snow pants she bought for me and I was excited to give them a test run out in the snow...

Mommy said that she wasn't feeling ready to shovel snow and since Daddy is on a business trip, I decided to give it a shot!

We capped off a great day by making cookies!  Yummy!

Photo Shoot Outtake

Mommy and Daddy bribed me with LOTS of candy tonight for our annual Christmas Card Photo Shoot.  Mommy took this one in between serious takes.  Can you believe I'm only 2 and half!

Some of Harry's Faces

Mommy sure does like taking my picture!  She caught me half smiling...

and snoozing, too!

The 4th Annual WPI Christmas Party

Today, we hosted a big Christmas party and there were 13 of us kids (Brandon was missing!).  We sat on the couch together for the traditional photo!

Felicity got to play with all her friends including Eleni and Kaylie (below) and we did a kids book, swap, too!

Harry enjoyed being held by all the ladies.  First the Morin girls (Jenny and Ally)...

and Carolyn, too!

Silly Story Time

Today my friend Thomas came over to meet Harry and he brought his baby brother Wes, too.  Harry and Wes are only 8 days apart!  You know I love me some Thomas!

And then after my short nap (the one day I fall asleep Mommy has to wake me up!) we went to Starbucks for story time with Miss Maegan and my friend Ava was there!  After story time we walked around the mall, did a little shopping, ran away from Santa and acted like goofy girls!  I sure will miss Ava when she moves to the big preschool room this month!

Our Silly Family

Harry seems to be mesmerized by something(s) about Mommy...

Felicity makes Daddy play dress-up

Looks like the the two of us are going to have some fun times!

Some Harry Firsts!

Being new to the world means I get to experience lots of new things for the first time.  Here is a small sampling from the past few days.

My first bottle! (Which meant Mommy got to leave the house without me!)

Watching the family decorate the tree for my first Christmas!

And my first bath!

Looking forward to sharing many more!

Our visit with Mimi and Papa!

We were so lucky to spend Harry's first Thanksgiving with our family including Mimi and Papa, who now live in South Carolina!  Here are a few photos from their visit!

Mimi first few minutes meeting Harry...

Felicity snuggling up to Papa...

And a group shot of the 4 of us!

We can't wait to be spoiled by them again at Christmas!  Only 22 days until they come back!  

Introducing Harry Nason Lipchak!

After a 9 month hiatus that seemed to coincide with Mommy's pregnancy, we're back and better than ever!  And when I say we, I mean there is someone else that I share this blog with now...it's my little brother!  Yep, I'm a big sister now!

Here is the first time I met Harry (who by the way is named after two of our great-grandfathers and not Harry Potter or Prince Harry...)!

Here is Harry looking at pictures of me on Daddy's iPhone when he was still in the hospital.  I think he likes me!

And when Harry came home from the hospital, I jumped right into my role as Big Sister and changed his diaper!  Mommy and Daddy are so lucky they have me!

Hopefully there will be more updates to come!  Stay tuned...

Goofin' off with Griffin!

Today my friend Griffin came over with his parents for a sleepover! It was pretty fun especially because I got to boss him around! I'm working on my sharing, but this weekend was a little tough for me. I did sit down and show Griffin how to make cupcakes though and he did a good job paying attention!

Then I invited him for a bath! And he helped me wash my hair! What a great friend!

The bonus was that we both slept through the night! That means we get to have another sleepover sometime! Maybe I'll be better about sharing by then!

Sharing...

Whoever said I'm not good at sharing has no idea. I'm great at sharing when I benefit from it! Look here. I'm sharing Daddy's cake and it is really yummy!

"Cool"

That's one of my new favorite words.

I try to give a thumbs up but it usually looks like this...

Busy, Busy Morning!

Today we met Thomas for a morning playdate. We shared a meal at the Noodle Noggin Diner.

And we climbed up in the castle, too.

I brought Auntie Becky along and we took a cute photo together, too!

There was also a music class. I didn't really want to sit for the class...I wanted to keep playing. But every once in awhile I was interested...mostly when there were cool instruments involved. Especially drum sticks!!!

After our fun time at Noodle Noggin, we hit the grocery store. I drove the cart around while Mommy filled it up!

What a busy morning!

Happy Birthday, Auntie Carolyn!

I celebrated by eating a cupcake! Hope you have a great day!

Lots of hugs and kisses to you! See you soon!

Felicity and Becky take on the Mall!

This morning we hit the mall! What a great place for a toddler to play! You can run, play, shop, and eat! I just LOVE the mall. Today I dragged along my partner in crime, Auntie Becky!

First we hit up the Disney Store! I immediately picked out a lion (Simba) and a rolling suitcase (from Little Einsteins) even though I've never seen either show or movie. I walked all around the store as I plotted my escape. Then I attempted to shoplift them both, but Mommy caught me before I made the alarm go off!

Now, no mall trip would be complete without playing on the floor pad/game thingy. Even Auntie Becky loved it!

We did hit up the Starbucks but they did not have my favorite snack anymore! What a bummer! So, we shopped some more. I think Auntie Becky has good taste, don't you?

Then I told Mommy that I wanted THAT doggy, but she said "No but maybe fish." So I kept saying "I need fish!" over and over again in the store! It was very funny!

We ended our mall outing with lunch in the food court to do a little people watching.

I was so wiped out that I took a 2.5 hour nap when I got home. Phew! What a day!

The Faces of Felicity

This morning I had chocolate chip/blueberry pancakes. Can you tell? Did you also know that I can eat as many pancakes as Mommy? Yummy!

After breakfast we hit Target and I did some shopping myself. I found a hat and purse in the dollar bins that I just had to have. And only mommy's sunglasses completed the look! I tried the smiley look...

then the serious one!

After shopping all morning, I took a short (non-existant?) nap and then decided to read some books by myself. Mommy snuck up on me in the library and I was sitting in my chair with my hat on reading my book out loud!

The Fun Arrived Today!

I was waiting by the door naked today. Mommy even took some pictures but I decided not to post those. Anyway, I was waiting for Auntie Becky, Grammy and Grampy to come over! And boy did we have fun all morning!

We did Ring-Around-the-Rosie and always ended up rolling around and giggling on the floor!

Grampy lifted me high in the air and I just kept yelling "UP", "DOWN" and "MORE" until he was too tired!

Then I rode my car around and gave Auntie lots of drive-by kisses!

And Grampy did his signature "Vroom", too! I finally figured out how to hold the "handlebars" but the funniest part was when I tried to Vroom myself. I just cracked everyone up!

Auntie Becky is staying all week and I'm very excited!!!

At the Car Wash!

Today, Mommy brought our dirty, dirty car through the car wash. It was my first time that she can remember. She kept taking pictures of my face because I really wasn't sure what to think!

Curious?

Confused?

Scared?

Whatever it was, I was certainly not my cheery little self...

Until the end when I asked for more!!!
