Girls Day Out!

Today my friend Kaylie (I call her KiKi) came over and she stayed all day! We had a very busy day! First we went to Michael's B-day party at Pump It Up! What a blast! Kaylie and I did lots of jumping and giggling.

Then all the parents attempted a group shot. You can see my friend Linnea was there, too!

We had pizza and cake for lunch and I sat next to my friend Solomon!

After all that fun, we headed home for some naps. When we woke up we had snack time before heading over to Linnea's and Solomon's for more play and dinner!

Kaylie and I took a bath over there and got into our pj's. Then we bundled up for the car ride. Here we are all snuggled into our seats. About 10 minutes after this picture we were both passed out cold!

Today was sooooo fun. It was like having a live-in best friend...or maybe even a twin sister! I hope Mommy kidnaps Kaylie again soon!

Tickles galore!

Auntie Angie came to visit us for a few days since Daddy was traveling. We did lots of playing with babies and balls.

And then there was lots of tickling, too!

We had a great time...I hope she comes back soon!

Big Girls, Big Fun!

Mommy could tell it was gonna be a silly day today at breakfast. I ate my applesauce with the wrong end of the spoon!

After my nap, my friends Madison and Cooper came over. Madison is a big girl and she helped me play with all my toys! She made sure I stayed safe riding my dino.

And she read books to me.

I can't wait until I'm a big girl, too!

This is how I roll...

Lately, I don't really like to keep my clothes on.

But today I wanted to go outside and play in the snow.

So I put on a coat.

That is all.

My First Shower!

Today, Mommy and Daddy decided to let me take a shower all by myself! At first I wasn't sure...

but it didn't take long for me to jump right into the water face first!

I love tubbies and now I love showers, too! Water is fun is so many ways!
And how about that really green shower, eh? Looks extra green in the flash!

We Rock!

Today, Daddy and I decided to have band practice.

First I tuned the guitar that Uncle Paul bought me for Christmas.

Then we got to it! Front view...

back view...

Daddy and I are total rockstars!

New Friends and Old Family

Today Mommy took me to meet her friends from graduate school. It took them making plans THREE TIMES before it happened! But we finally met and they brought a new playmate for me! His name is Nate and he is a super cutie!!!

I left my sunglasses in the car, so I borrowed Mommy's while I waited for my lunch.

After lunch we came home and Auntie Angie came over to play with me. We made LOTS of cupcakes!

A great day indeed!

My Bilibo

Auntie Maggie and Uncle David got me a Bilibo for Christmas! It's pretty neat. You can do all sorts of things with it. So far, I've tried two things.

Sitting on it

And sitting in it!

I've gotta see what else this thing can do!

My Schedule is Full!

Today was a busy day for the Lipchak/Sands house! During the morning we went to visit our friends Stacy and Joe. They made us yummy french toast and I got to play with their animals! They have an old kitty named Tiger, but he doesn't like to play that much (even though he is my favorite!). And they also have a new kitty named Monty! Mom captured this shot of me watching Monty eat his breakfast!

Then Stacy showed me this fun little stick/yarn thing and I just loved to swing it all around.

And I even tangled Monty up in it. Silly kitty! I better enjoy their kitties because Mommy is so allergic, we'll never have one.

Anyway, after my nap we went to see my friends Skylar and Brendan! I hadn't seen them in such a long time that Skylar is now 4 and Brendan is 1! We had a lot of fun playing in the boat. We didn't get a lot of pictures, and here I am clearly telling Mommy to stop it with the camera already!

Christmas Continues On!

Today we had a family get together with Daddy's family to celebrate Christmas! I always love spending time with my grandparents, aunt, uncle and cousins and today was no exception! We ate some yummy food and got really silly. Uncle Dave is showing me a silly chicken! It took me awhile to get close to it...but eventually I did.

I also got a few presents, too, including this cute moose!

And then Mommy tried to get some pictures with Grandpa Mike and Mimi Maryann, but the only one that came out good was this one with Auntie Maggie.

What a fun afternoon with my family! Thanks for the presents and the laughs!
