Wow has it been a hole year already? It seems like only yesterday I was nearing my mommy and daddy for the first time.
I would have to say that it has been an exciting year. I got to do a lot of new things, well actually everything I got to do was new but that is besides the point.
You will be happy to know that my daddy's training is coming along real well, the 8 months that he had at home with me helped a lot. Right now we are working on him trying to get me changed while I move around. Don't tell him that I said this but he is not too good at it but he is getting better.
This year I met both mommy's and daddy's family. It is always fun when I get to see them.
I also have gotten to try lots of new foods my favorite one I think is turkey dinner, it is just so yummy I just can't get enough. I sure hope that we have it again soon.
I have also gotten to meet my two doggies. At first mommy and daddy were not too sure how they were going to react but now they are two of my bestest friends. Nanuk is funny, every day when daddy lets them in after work Nanuk comes running in the back door and runs into the living room looking for me only to come back into the kitchen and find me sitting in my chair. Every day I am in my chair in the same spot but she always runs past me. When she finds me she comes over and gives me a sniff and a kiss and I sometimes give her a little bit of my cookie.
Madison took a little longer to warm up to me. She was not too sure at first but now that I am eating regular food and she has learned that I tend to drop some she has become really friendly at meal times lol. Some times when she is cuddling with daddy on his chair and I come over she grumbles but daddy always tells her to stop and for me to not bug her. It is fun though and I know Madison is just playing around, and Madison even gives me kisses now.
I thought it was going to be scary when daddy went back I work and I had to go to a baby sitter but it has been lots of fun. I am on my second baby sitter, my first one had to move but I still get to see her. She was lots of fun. She has two boys and it was interesting watching them run around and play. Have you ever noticed how loud boys can be? Wow and I don't think that they ever stop. She also has two girls. They used to argue over who was going to help take care of me.
My new baby sitter has 4 boys. Ain't that just crazy? Her oldest is my best friend. I give him smiles when I see him and he gives me a hug when daddy picks me up. I don't get to see them too mug though cuz they go to school (what ever that is but it sounds like fun seeing as just about everyone seems to go there) so for most of the day it is just me and the sitter. She takes me for walks when the weather is good, and we go for car rides sometimes and maybe one day she will take me to her farm and I will get to see the animals.
Also this year I have gotten to try lots of new foods. Do you have any idea how many different ones there are? My daddy does a lot of the cooking, it is a good thing that he is kinda good at it, mommy cooks on her day off and she is good too. I haven't found too many foods that I don't like I seem to like them all. But I would have to say that turkey and ham are my favorite. Though after my birthday with mommy and daddy and then my birthday party I would have to say that birthday cake is up there too.
Mommy picked up a strawberry ice cream cake for my birthday. I wasn't sure what it was cuz it sure didn't look like strawberries but WOW was it ever good. About half way through my pice my hands were getting cold from it but it was just too yummy to stop eating.
This weekend we all went to grandmas house and mommy surprised me with a birthday party. Everyone was there, grandma and my other grandma and grandpa and my great grandma and great grandpa and my other great grandpa and my great aunt and my aunt Tracy and uncle Rob and their 3 girls and my aunt Teri and uncle Sid and aunt April and her tow kids and Jason and Nat and Wrigley. I think that is everyone, sorry if I missed anyone. They got me presents and aunt April brought cake, and guess what? I got a cake all to my self. It wasn't ice cream cake but it was still good. It was chocolate. They put it on my tray and I got to dig I. And did I ever. I used both hands and got most of it in my mouth then got some in my hair, behind my ear, in my ear, in my nose and all over my face, I think it was smart of mommy to take my shirt off first. The I only place I didn't get any was on my chair.
Well I hope you liked hearing about some of my first year. I sure hope the next year is as good.
I should be going now though. Mommy and daddy think I am in bed sleeping, don't tell them that I am up in their room using daddy's phone.
Talk to you later.

How is it going?
Hi every one. It has been a while but I have been busy.
Did you know that I am over 11 months old? Do you know what that means? Can you tell me cuz I don't know. Lol.
I am almost a hole year old. Mommy and daddy are going to have a party at grandmas house, it is going to be a couple of days after my birthday but that is ok cuz it means I get to see my family. And I also get to work on a few things that I am going to show them that I can do. I can't say too much here cuz it is a suprise but it may have something to do with standing. Hehe. Mommy also said I get to have cake all to myself. I can't wait. She said something about ice cream cake not too sure what that is but it sounds yummy.
I have been busy since my last post here. Playing with Nanuk and chasing Madison around the house, it lots of fun. Sometimes I wait for Madison to get up on daddy's lap and lay down then I go over and touch her paw. It is fun and I usually laugh when she grumbles at me then she sits up and leans way back so I can't reach her.
Nanuk is always fun to play with. I will go over to her when she is laying on the couch and pet her but it is lots of fun when daddy gets on the floor and starts getting her to grumbly talk, I always giggle at that. She will do it when daddy lets her in at supper time when we get back from the sitters. Nanuk will normally run past the kitchen table where I am sitting and go into the living room looking for me then come back into the kitchen and grumble at daddy cuz she doesn't know where I am then when she sees me she comes over and says hi.
Madison is even coming over to say hi to me now and she has even learned that I drop food when I eat so Madison has started laying down in the kitchen to wait with Nanuk until I am finished then they both clean up.
Mommy and daddy had to get me a new sitter cuz the one I had needed to move. I miss her but mommy said that when she gets settled in she will take me over there for a visit. I can't wait.
The new sitter I have is real nice. She has a few other kids of her own but they are all at school when I am there so it is just me and her. She also takes me out for walks during the day. And guess what they have. A POOL. I am not too sure what that it but if it is anything like the bathtub or water bowl I am there. Mommy said it was too cold for that yet though. What does mommy know? How does he know it is too cold? I am sure that I could go in it if she would let me, as long as no one tries to wash my hair I will be ok. Silly mommy it has been warmer her too so how can it be too cold? The sitter also said that some time she will take me to their farm so I can see all the cows and things can't wait for that one.
Well this one is taking a few days to write, see what happens daddy when you don't let me have your phone? How am I supposed to keep everyone up to fade if I can never blog? This is why I need my own phone. Hehehe.
Well yesterday was mommy's birthday. She took the day off so I had a mommy and daddy day also grandma and Teri came over on Friday while I was sleeping so I get a surprise when I woke up yesterday. And as if that was not good enough, we all went to Ottawa yesterday. We picked up a foster dog for aunt Nicole at the vet. Then we went to the parliament building and walked around. It was fun seeing all the people around there. Daddy pushed me in my stroller, it is so iChat fun when daddy does that. We went racing around everyone and doing circles around then. At one point just after the RCMP car drove past daddy and I BLASTED through a stop sign. Daddy said it was a good thing that we were on the wrong side of the road.
When we left there we went to meet aunt Nicole. I didn't know we were going to see her. And she had Simba with her. Mommy called him and he came running and jumped on her lap in the car then he came into the back seat with daddy and me. We were dropping off the foster dog at the doggie sitters where Nicole was keeping Simba for the day.
After we dropped off the dogs and has some lunch we went to the agricultural museum. I didn't know what that was before we got there but all I can say about it is that it's lots of fun. The first building we went in to had horses. Do you jibe how big they are? The one I saw there was bigger than I am even when mommy was holding. It was even bigger than daddy. But I was not scared of it and it was friendly. The other horses we saw were not as big as that one. Then we saw some alpacas and then some cows and baby cows. The one little cow was giving kisses through its gate, it kissed daddy's hand then mommy let it kiss my foot. But grandma couldn't get a picture of it.
When we were looking at the black and white cows grandma asked if she could get a picture of me beside one of the cows. Just before she got the picture the silly cow stuck its tongue out and tried to get me. Its a good thing daddy was watching cuz he was able to move my stroller out of the way but the cow just kept sticking it out further and trying to get me. Wow cows sure do have a long tongue. Grandma got a good picture of that one I think. There was another one that was trying to get a drink of water but it let it's water bucket get real full first then splashed its tongue around. It almost got me with the splashing and then it was getting the cow beside it with the water. That made me smile.
After that excitement we went to another barn and got to see where all the baby's are. We saw baby pigs. They are so small when they lay beside their mommy. Then we got to see the real small cows. Some of them we couldn't touch cuz they were only a couple of days old but some of them we could. There was another one there that was giving daddy kisses but then it would try to nibble on him. It got his pants and his jacket. Both daddy and I laughed at that.
Before we left there for the day we went into one last place. We got to learn all about honey bees. They are a lot friendlier than I thought and if you don't bug then than they won't bug you. Also with out then we would not have apples or strawberries or anything like that or even honey. Though I haven't had any honey yet mommy says I can have some after I turn one. I can't wait.
The last place we went into was the tractor museum. This was mine and daddy's favorite part. And I got to have fun that daddy didn't. There was a tractor there that you could drive, like a video game but you sit in an actual tractor and it moves. I went in it with aunt Nicole that is why daddy didn't do it with me. It was so much fun. I was smiling at everyone below me and steering and I even tried honking the horn. Mommy was saying that there was a lady watching who was surprised that I was as young as I am, she thought I was older. Daddy did get to take me on one that showed the difference between steel wheels and rubber wheels. That was lots of fun. The rubber wheels were ok but the steel ones were funny. They go bouncy bouncy, shaky shaky all over the place. It was a little harder to steer that one but I did. Aunt Nicole, aunt Teri and mommy made it hard though, they kept standing in front or the tractor taking pictures. And I think daddy needs to have a look at it, I think there is something wrong with the steering, I would turn the steering wheel and the tractor would not turn. Then I tried to honk the horn to get them to move out of the way and wouldn't you know it the horn doesn't work. I don't know who they have working on those tractors there but maybe they need my daddy to do it. Lol.
After all that we went out for supper then went home. Everyone was tired. I was not feeling good, I have a little cold, so I got to sleep with mommy and daddy.
Well if mommy's birthday was that much fun I can't wait for mine. I'll tell you all about it. Buy bye for now.

A long time.
Holy mackerel, it has been a long time since I wrote anything here. Sorry it has been so long. I have been busy learning new things and I haven't been able to get daddy's phone, but I got it today lol.
I don't know where to start. I guess I'll mention my second Christmas I had. It was after real Christmas. Mommy and daddy took me out to grandmas house and aunt April and my cousins came over and visited. They got me some more presents. And it was fun to see them. We also had a good supper, but I can't remember what it was.
The next day we went over to aunt Tracy's house and visited her and my other three cousins and my other grandma and grandpa. Also I got to meet my cousin samantha. I had lots of fun there and I had yet another Christmas. There I got a cool bouncing bike, I sit on it and the seat bounces up and down and it makes cool noises. Aunt Tracy also gave me a toy that her kids used, it has a handle and wheels so I can hold onto it and walk. I am really good at it but I don't k ow how to turn so I get stopped when I walk into the fish tank or the dog bed but it still is lots of fun. Grandma and grandpa also got me a motorized 4 wheeler, now that is cool. Daddy put it in the basement until I get bigger, both mommy and daddy said I can use it outside in the summer I can't wait!
I have been busy at the baby sitters too. I have lots of fun there. Some days there is SOOOO much going on that I forget to take a nap, but that's ok I take one when daddy takes me home. My sitter has a dog named Eve. She is black like Madison but not as big. One of my favorite things to do is feed her when I am having my lunch, I think it is one of her favorite things too. I don't get to feed the dogs at home, mommy and daddy don't let them at the table when we are eating which I think is unfair, so I always make sure that I drop food for them to get when I am finished hehehe. Don't tell mommy and daddy that I do that though, they think it is just me not getting the food to my mouth and dropping it by accident if they knew I did it on purpose they might get upset.
Oh yeah I almost forgot. There was one day that the sitter couldn't take me so I had to go to another sitter. Her name is Shannon and she has a little girl a little older than I am. We had SOOOO much fun. We played with her toys and played games. They also have not one but two Nanuk dogs. How lucky are they? Though their dogs are not as fluffy as my Nanuk is. And guess what I did, I fed them my lunch too. Hehehe I am such a stinker.
I am also moving around a lot more now too, and faster. No more belly crawling for my I am up on my hands and knees and zooming everywhere. And when I am not crawling around I am pulling myself up so that I can stand. There are so many cool things that are higher up did you know that? I like to rearrange the Xbox games and DVDs that are in my reach, and to see what mommy and daddy have on the coffee tables, though lately they have not been leaving anything on them.
One thing that I like to do is watch mommy or daddy take Madison and Nanuk out to the dog pen. I stand at the window a s giggle at them. Then they have to go around to the front door cuz I won't let them in the back door. I also laugh at Madison and Nanuk when they are just in the back yard.
Madison is getting better with me though I don't think she likes me moving around so much. My favorite thing to do to her is when she is cuddling with daddy in his chair I'll come over and stand up and touch her foot. A couple of times she grumbled at me but daddy was there to tell her not to. Then she sits up and leans way back into daddy to get as far away from me as she can. Once she does that I move away and do something else until she lays back down then I am right back trying to pet her again. She pretends that she doesn't like it but I know that she does, she will fake sniff me and give me a quick kiss instead.
Nanuk isn't as much fun to bug though. Even when she is chewing a moose bone on the couch I go over to her and she will just lay there while I pet her and do anything I want to and she doesn't even move. And don't worry mommy and daddy are always right there and they are teaching me how to be gentle with both Madison and Nanuk and both of them understand when sometimes I get a little too excited. Just yesterday I was trying to play with a toy with Nanuk, we were both on the floor and I was giving her one of my toys then taking it back. Later on after supper I even tried to share my bottle with her, she wouldn't take it but she did lick up the drops that fell on the floor.
The dogs haven't pulled me in my wagon too much, it is easier to do that when mommy and daddy both are there. But they did take me once. It was a lot of fun, I felt real special, I don't know too many other kids that get to have their dogs pull then in their wagon. Can you guess which one was the better puller? I'll give you a hint, it wasn't Nanuk. Daddy says that Nanuk is the laziest malamute ever. We unhooked Madison for a few minutes so she could go poopie and Nanuk started walking even slower than normal, if you saw her you would have thought she was pulling a lot of weight, not just me. And when Madison was hooked up Nanuks pull line was slack most of the time. She is such a funny dog.
I have a question for you, where did the green go? The white was nice at first but now it is boring and I miss my green. And what is with the cold? Did someone forget to turn the heat on? Tell them that I want the heat back on, I don't like this having to put my snow suit on every time I go outside. And I think Madison wants the warm back too. I think it was Nanuk who turned the heat off, and brought the white stuff, she likes to sleep out there for a long time.
Well I should go and have a nap so I will be awake when mommy gets home from work.
I'll try not to take so long next time I write something on here.
Talk to you later.

Christmas
Hi everyone. I know it has been too long since I posted anything. I have been busy at the baby sitters as well as learning new things.
I have learned how to climb on boxes. They are so much fun. Though the box I was climbing on mommy moved cuz it got wet but that is ok cuz now that it is gone I just taught my self how to use the couch to pull my self up. It is a lot better than the box cuz I stand right up and I can reach things up there too, like the newspaper when it is there and Nanuk when she is sleeping there. Hehe. I still zoom around the house but I am a lot faster now, mommy and daddy can barely keep up with me. I also have a new favorite pass time. I just found out that there is a real cool bowl on the floor. I have see the dogs drinking out of it so I figured it must be something good. I was right, it has water in it!! It is just like my bath except I don't lay in the water. I have lots of fun splashing in it. One time I splashed so much that the floor was all wet, and the cupboard was wet and I was all wet too. When mommy and daddy are in the kitchen some times I keep them busy just trying to keep me away from the water.
Another fun thing I do is clap my hands with daddy and cheer with him too. It is lots of fun when he gets it right. Some times I also like to just hear how loud I can make my voice, then mommy and daddy try to beat me but I just go louder so I win.
It is also fun to do it when daddy bounces me on his knee. It makes my voice sound funny.
The last few days here have been busy but also lots of fun. On Sunday aunt Nicole and uncle Sid came over and they brought Simba and Sora and Luna as well as their foster dog Cadence. Then grandma came over with Paul and they brought Wriggly. With Madison and Nanuk that made 7 dogs in my house. Wow. I had more dogs than I could watch. Madison and Nanuk were real happy to see everyone too though they still are not too sure of Luna and Cadence was a little too excited some times for then but in the house they all got along together.
Yesterday was a fun day. Mommy was home all day cuz she didn't have to work and then we got to open all the things that were under the tree. I got a lot of new clothes and some new toys. Now I have my own remote control. It sings and makes noise but I think I have to program it cuz it doesn't control the t.v yet but I will fix that. I also got a real cool bike. I can either sit on it or when my legs get a little stronger I can walk behind it. Right now I like sitting on it and listening to the music that plays. I am learning how to push myself but I am not too good at that yet but daddy will push me on it and we go zoom zoom zoom from the kitchen to the living room and back. He also showed me how to honk the horn to get things out of my way. I like to honk it at mommy and Nanuk. It is fun to see them move as I go scooting by. After seeing all the stuff I guess I had Santa Claus all wrong. Now I feel bad for crying when I saw him. Next time I see him I will give him a big smile.
Oh yeah! Can you guess what we had for supper last night? I'll give you a hint, it was my most favorite food. That is right TURKEY!!! This Christmas thing is lots of fun, everyone over, and presents and turkey too. I think it is one of my favorite days so far. I don't know what else is coming up but it has to be good to beat Christmas. And mommy says that tomorrow we are going to see my great granddad and great grandma. I like seeing them as well as my uncle Jon an aunt Trish and Erin and Amy. It is going to be so much fun. Then one more week and I get to see my grandma and grandpa ( daddy's mommy and daddy) and my aunt Tracy and uncle Rob and Emily, Cassandra and Shannon. It is going to be so much fun I can't wait.
Well I should be going to bed.
I hope you all had a merry Christmas
Talk to you all later.

Wow
I know I know, it has been too long since I wrote anything here. I am sorry but I have been a busy busy baby. What with playing at the babysitter's then playing with mommy and daddy as well as Madison and Nanuk and keeping the foster puppy in line I have been super busy.
I don't even know where to start. Daddy is back to work now, which means that I go to the sitters every day. It is so much fun there. Now that I move around a lot I keep the sitter real busy. And they have a real cool pet, it is a cat. How cool is that? Don't let Madison and Nanuk know this but I really like the cat. I think that that is why Madison sniffs me when I come home, which I don't mind cuz some times she sneaks in a small kiss when no one is looking.
The one thing I miss though is going to under one club with daddy, but he said that he will take me next week when he is not at work. I can't wait.
My aunt Teri came out to my house last weekend. It was lots of fun to see her. She took me to the city on Saturday while mommy was at work. We had lots of fun shopping and we got to see aunt Nicole too.
Oh yeah, one evening mommy came home from work a little early and mommy and daddy bundled me up in my snow suit and put me in my stroller. I thought we were going for a walk with the doggies but when we left we didn't take then. I didn't know what was going on. We walked out to the main street and just stood there. It was strange cuz there was a lot of other people standing on the sidewalk too. After a while we heard a siren and saw flashing lights, but they were not going very fast. When they Finaly got up to us I saw that there was a lot of people walking or riding on the back of trailers and they all had flashing lights on them. Some people came up to us and gave us candy. I let daddy have it cuz I can't have candy yet. One person came up and gave me a big stuffed raccoon it was so cool. It is almost as big as I am. (Nanuk really likes it but she can't have it). There were even a couple of tiny horses puling carts. They were so cute, and someone put antlers on them. One even tried to come over and see me but the person in the cart would not let him get too close. The one shiny trailer thing ( mommy called it a float) had a big man on it with a big white beard and dressed all in red. Mommy told me that he was Santa Claus. I don't know who he is it he sure was happy.
Mommy told me later that it was the Santa Claus parade. He must be a really famous person to have all that fallow him around.
A few days after the parade mommy and daddy took me to the mall. And wouldn't you know it, that Santa dude was there too. He was sitting on a really big chair and children were sitting on his lap. I thought that was kinda cool, but then mommy and daddy put me on his lap then they moved away! I was not too sure about that, but then I saw the camera and let them get a couple of pictures but not too many. I wanted to get out of there. I am not too sure about that Santa guy.
So yeah. I am still not crawling on my hands and knees, though I do get up on then and rock back an forth, but wow can I move in my belly. One of my favorite things to do is play with the gate mommy put up in the doorway to the kitchen. It is there to keep Iggy our foster puppy in the kitchen while I am playing on the floor. Though I usually go over to it and play with him through the gate. On Sunday Iggy had one of my slippers on the dog bed while I was on the floor so I cralles over there and played with him. We played a little tug of war and I am happy to say that I won, though I did give it back to him. We then passed it back and forth to each other. He is still a young puppy and has to learn how to carry the long bones though. He was carrying one past me the other day on his way to the kitchen and bonked me on the head while he walked by. It didn't hurt but I did tell him to be more careful next time.
Last night daddy took me to his Christmas party at work. I slept on the way there and was still tired when we got there so at first I didn't want to give any smiles. But once I woke up it was fun to watch everyone's reaction when I gave them one of my big smiles. I think I was the hit of the party. I was even nice to daddy and let him eat his dinner. Though I was eating my cookie. We left when I was starting to get tired but as we were leaving we walked past where the music comes out of and I started dancing in daddy's arms. It was a fun night and I slept the hole drive home then when we got home I got to spend time with mommy. By that time I was not tired and when mommy and daddy tried to go to bed I kept playing on their bed, though after close to an hour of playing I got tired again and let mommy out me in my bed. Also when I got home I had so much energy that mommy stood me up in front of the couch and I held my self up and played with Nanuk while she laid on it. Daddy thinks I will walk before I crawl on my hands and knees.
Well I should get to sleep now. I have a busy day tomorrow. Don't tell daddy that I was using his phone while he was asleep ok.
Oh yeah I almost forgot, remember that tree mommy and daddy were talking about putting in the living room? Well they put it up. I didn't know they has a tree in a box downstairs. I wonder what else is down there. The tree also has lights one it, not that is just cool. And they are not the only ones that have one, my babysitter has one in her house too? I didn't think that she knew how much I liked trees.
I am still trying to find out about this Christmas thing though. I'll let you know when I find more out about it.
Talk to you later. Night night.

First week at the sitters.
Hello!
How is everyone? I am doing good. As you can see I spent the week with the babysitter. It is lots of fun. I get to play with other kids there, though they are all older than I am but I don't mind. There is also a doggie there too.
Daddy went back to work this week. He left Monday before I woke up so I didn't get my cuddle time with him, but when he got home he made up for it. Daddy ended up being off for the rest of the week, he says it is because his work was screwed up BUT I know the real reason is because hi missed me. Hehehe.
On Wednesday mommy brought a foster doggie home from her work. His name is maverick and he looks just like we think Madison would have looked like at 6 months. Yeah he is only 6 months old so that makes me older than him can you guess by how much? I turned 8 months old on Tuesday ain't that just awesome? Mommy brought Maverick home to play with Madison and Nanuk but when he got here he was a little scared at first then just wanted to sniff around. Mommy was off yesterday and we had all the dogs in the yard but still no playing. I think it was because Nanuk and Madison were feeling a little sick. This morning though 20 minutes before mommy had to take him back to work he started playing with them and they all had a blast.
Yesterday mommy took me to the last day of my mother goose club. That is where we learn fun songs. It was lots of fun and mommy also got a cd of the songs to play.
Yesterday was also my daddy's birthday. I am not sure what that is yet but we got to go out for supper and that was lots of fun. I kept mommy busy by grabbing everything that was in my reach, that should teach mommy and daddy for forgetting to bring me my toys. Did you know that knives and forks make a lot o noise when they fall to the floor? I also had fun playing with mommy's menu. Daddy tried to give me small menu that was on the table but I wanted the big one.
We also met mommy's friend there too. So I had lots of fun keeping them all busy. Daddy and I also had a sword fight at the table, don't worry though we were only using spoons. After that daddy showed me how to fling a sugar packet across the table with a spoon, that was funny and I will have to remember how to do it.
When we got home the dogs were excited to see us. When we all settled down I sat in my excer saucer and played and giggled at maverick, I am not sure what I was giggling at he was just laying on the dog bed and I thought it was funny.
Mommy also got me a new bigger car seat for her car cuz I al getting bigger. Daddy is going to take the one in his truck out cuz I am too big for that one and he is going to put the one that was in mommy's car into his truck.
Well let see what else is up? Oh yeah! Does anyone know what has happened to the trees? I am kinda worried, they are not green anymore. I liked looking at the green leaves but now there are no leaves on the trees and there are a pile of things on the ground under the trees. Mommy said that they are the leaves but that can't be cuz they are not green. If anyone has any ideas as to what happened let me know. Also, what happened to the days? I like walking with the dogs and seeing everything but now it is dark when we walk. Why is that? I miss my sun. And it is not warm anymore. Now mommy and daddy have to put more clothes on me before we go out. How many layers soni need? The hat I don't mind, as longas it stays out of my eyes but the mittens are a pain. How am I supposed to grab anything with those things on? I want it to warm up so I don't need all those things on. On the bright side, a lot of the houses around here look neat in the dark. They have bright flashing lights on them and some even have things on the front yard so at least that looks good.
Mommy and daddy tell me that they are Christmas lights, what ever that is. They also talk to each other about putting up Christmas lights and where to put the Christmas tree. I think that they are crazy cuz they say that the Christmas tree is going to go in the living room. Don't they know you can't put a tree in the house? Trees are big and the living room is small. I can't wait to see their faces when they try it and I will say "see I told you so!" though it will probably come out as "da da ga goooo bluffffff. Lalala mmmmmm" but daddy will know what I mean.
Well I got to go now. I will be sure to let you all know how this tree in the living room goes so you can have a laugh. Also don't forget, let me know if you find out what has happened to all the trees and why is has gotten cold and dark out in my walks.
Later.

Almost back to work
Well I go back to work in a few days. All I can say is "I DON'T WANNA GO!!!!"
Baby sitter is all lined up and Brooke likes going there so that will be good.
I am surprised at how fast the time has gone by. It seems like yesterday I was finishing up painting the living room and taking Jen to the hospital.
I have enjoyed my time home with Brooke. It has been fun bonding with her. One second I need to see what she is into. Ok back, she was just playing with shoes at the front door.
Well this blog started by a few people who thought it would be fun to see what I go through being home with Brooke. Well it turns out that she is the best baby ever and it has been easy taking care of her. So I decided to write through Brooke's eyes just to make it interesting, which I think it is.
Now that I am going back to work I have been debating on keeping this blog going and I think I will I'll just change the name of it from stay at home dad to dad away from Brooke.
Or I'll just keep it the same and have fun coming up with new stories. Though none up till now have been made up, they are all 100 % Brooke. Lol.
Well I should get going now, I need to get Brooke lunch and something for me, and I think Brooke wants to use my phone.
