Merry Christmas... Dear Everyone!

Dear Everybody, December 2009

I’m not sure how I got this job; something about being the youngest and having no responsibilities. I don’t know what they’re talking about. I’m super busy. I have to learn all sorts of important things. Like, why does everyone get so excited about that fat guy in the red suit? I’m also busy rolling all over the floor and starting to sit up all by myself…. I think I’m busier than the rest of the family put together. I am the only one that gets so exhausted that I need several naps every day. Oh, and don't forget I have to keep practicing the things I learn, too. Mom thinks I’m really cute when I talk but her favorite thing I do is when I see her I squeal and get really excited.

Anyway, mom says I should talk about everyone in this thing. So how about my dad. I think he’s the greatest. He goes to work and then he comes home and scoops me up in his arms and wants to play. Sometimes when I wake up in the night I see him up playing that x box and talking to the TV. Mom tells me he’s playing Halo with his buddies but I think he’s just weird. He also loves to rub his whiskers on my feet and it makes me laugh so much.

Mom is with me all day long and we play a lot. Sometimes she is working with small shiny things that she calls beads. I’d love to get my hands on them, but mom says no because I’ll just put them in my mouth. Mom also plays in the kitchen with food. My favorite is when she makes me rice cereal and sweet potatoes.

My big brother Kermit is 5 years old and he makes me smile. He’s just so silly. He likes to hold me and let me play with his cars. He says he’ll help me to play baseball someday or teach me all about (insert our college football team here) football. He loves to go out and ride his bike. I wish I could go with him, but mom says I’m too little. He can write him name now and he likes to tell me all about the letters he’s learning in school. He’s so smart. I hope I’m as smart as he is when I grow up.

My big sister Miss Piggy is 4 years old but is counting down the days until she turns 5 in January. She has the coolest toys and she’s great about sharing them with me. Her ponies are my favorite so far, but her babies are also fun. She helps me to hold her babies. She can also write her own name and draws me all sorts of pictures of princesses and then tells me about the stories she reads in school. She pretends she’s a princess all the time and wears such pretty dress up clothes. I can’t wait to wear her dress ups and look just like her.

Well, this wore me out. I need to go have some lunch and take another nap. Merry Christmas and don’t touch the tree. (that’s what Mommy tells me all the time)

Love, Baby Girl (7 months)
