Christmas Card Photo Shoot

With Thanksgiving over, it was time to start thinking Christmas cards. Mommy had the camera, the kids, the matching PJs ... now all she needed was for the two of us to sit nicely and smile at the camera. Unlikely. :D Here are some outtakes from my first Christmas card.

If I get real close I look like a bobblehead

How big can I make my bottom lip?

Oh, Mommy

Um, you sure are close with that camera

Oh, you want me to keep THIS hat on?

Are we done yet?

Get me outta here!

I wonder what the return policy is on big sisters? JOKING!

Land ahoy!

No more! I'm DOOOOONE!

Check out the other shots (some better than others) in our November album!

First School Pictures

Took my first school pictures earlier this fall, and we just got them back this month. I was ... well, not that happy about the whole thing. It's tough trying to get me to smile right after drop-off! This was Mommy's first time trying to find coordinating outfits for Claire and I; I think she did a fine job. Maybe next year I'll actually smile!

My First Thanksgiving

My first Thanksgiving was spent here in Dallas. Nai-Nai and Ye-Ye have been busy in Austin with my new baby cousin Tessa, but they came up for some quality Pee time for the weekend.

I wonder if Nai-Nai and Ye-Ye will want to come in my tent?

The older Pee men catching up while I sleep in the stroller

Ye-Ye helping me walk. Mush, mush!

Gotta take care of those three teeth!

A meal fit for a king, and I made sure I tried all of it!

I'm thankful for my family

Lemme guess; we'll be wearing these hats all winter

At the park with Nai-Nai

Ready or not, here I come!

Ye-Ye and I rockin' our hats together

It was just a few days together, but we had a wonderful time. Thank you for coming to visit us!

Houston Trip

We wanted to meet Charlie's new litle brother Christopher, so Mommy took the two of us down to Houston for a quick trip the weekend before Thanksgiving.

In my usual position

Happy to see Po-Po and Gong-Gong

Enjoying a quick snack during one of our frequent stops

Happy to not be in the carseat

Auntie Syndee, you look GREAT for having just had a baby!

Da-Jiu was also home visiting, so we got in some good uncle and play time.

Let's go eat!

Chicken ... yum

Jello-coma

Whoa, this place is a huge aquarium!

Well, at least we're all in the same picture at the same time

See, I can use chopsticks too!

And, just like that, it was time to head back on the plane home. Wow! There are a few more shots from our quick weekend in our November album if you'd like to see more from the trip!

Full of Fun-ness

November was full of lots of different activities. Here are just a few:

At Juliet's 3rd birthday party ... peek-a-boo, I see you!

LOVE Daddy's spaghetti. I could eat it every night!

Hmm ... maybe I need a napkin. Or a hose.

Quick midnight snack

Num, num

Winterizing myself

Mmmm, chicken leg

Playing in the bedding tent

Ready for bedtime

Where's Gavin?

Here I am!

And that is just a little sampling of my going-ons this month. Check out the November album to see more!
