Looking at a few Maxim and Self mags.

Look at my cool boots, they're pretty hard to walk in, but I still like them.

Another day of snow...

Another day chance to wear my blueberry suit. We love to go out and play in the snow. Gramma Sue's booties are the best in the snow!! I can walk around and keep my little toes warm.

Happy Birthday to Gavyn!!

Today Mommy took me outside for a bit, so I could play and enjoy the fresh air. It's warmed up here alot in the last couple days, thank goodness!! Mommy and I were starting to go stir crazy.

After we played out for a few, we came back in and played with my new cool tool bench. Thanks Grandpa Steve!!

Grandma Renee sent me this rocking chair, it use to be her's and she gave it to Mommy. Now it's mine to rock in, soon we'll have it reupholstered. Thanks Grandma Renee!

Daddy and Mommy made pizza for dinner, it was a first for me and I loved it

Mommy made me two different cakes, a carrot cake and a chocolate cake. I was too full from my pizza for cake, so I'll have to try that tomorrow. The pizza and the cakes were all allergen free.

Opening a few presents!

Thanks Auntie Linda and Uncle Mike for the book!! Thanks Uncle Dominique and Mary for the boat, I played with it after everone left in my bath! Thanks Jill and Brian for the books, I love them!

Mr. Teddy

Today I packed around my old buddy Mr. Teddy.

This is my very first Teddy bear, Grandma Renee got it for me before I was born.

Here I am trying to get Daddy to read to me. I picked a book out, went over to Daddy and put it on his lap. I opened the book and looked through the pages, then I caught Mommy taking my picture.

Look what I found!!!

I have holes in my face!! hehe When ever Mommy or Daddy tell me "No" I put my fingers up by my noses or in it. ( We're not sure if he's doing this because he thinks that "no" is Nose or if it's just him picking his nose.)

I love reading books

Here is Daddy and I reading my favorite books. I got them for Christmas from my cousins , thanks very much Melanie, Deion, and kids!! We read them atleast 4 times a day..

Here I am picking a book for Mommy to read.

Mommy reading to me.

Once in a while I pull out all of my toys.

It's fun because sometimes find something that I haven't played with for a few weeks.

Gosh Mommy, Stop taking my picture!!!

Booties that Grandma Sue made for me, they are so nice!!

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to walk in them, they are just a bit big.

Sleepy boy

More tub time!!

Allergy Testing

We just got done at the allergy doctor, not much has changed. I’m still allergic to wheat, soy, egg, peanut, rye, green bean, turkey, and beef. I did grow out of my allergy to peas, which is good. At least I can have another veggie that's not the color orange. The doctor said, that I look a bit orange from all the carrots and sweet potatoes I eat. We will retest again in another six months. This time we talked with a dietician, she gave us a few good ideas to try, and a bunch of information to read up on. Mommy couldn’t believe that “gelatin” is from beef, so no jello for poor Gavyn. The list of food no-no’s seems to go on and on.. Hopefully with time he’ll grow out of most of these allergies, but until then we have to watch everything that goes in his month.
