16 months old

Hey Graham Fans - Just sharing the latest goings on in my world. I can't believe how fast November went! I was glad there were some days we got to play outside. We even went to the park a couple of times. It was a lot of fun. I can now climb in the wagon on my own. It makes it really easy to communicate that I want to go for a ride. I also love to drive now. Daddy lets me get in his truck. I steer and push buttons and even honk the horn. Funny thing is Mommy can never get her car door open when I want to drive her car.

Uncle Greg was over the other week and he played with me. He taught me now to slide down the stair railing! I experienced my second Thanksgiving. This year we went to Grandma's house in Sigourney. She had her Christmas tree up already. It had these pretty red balls on it that I kept taking off. somehow they all ended up out of my reach. I got to play the piano, use her vacuum, and play with the toy tractors. The highlight was getting to play in the shed. I sat on the tractor, the lawn mower, and the four wheeler. Luckily Kayla was nice enough to hang out with me while I had fun. The other highlight was when Daddy and Uncle Greg took me to the John Deere store. Wow - I wish we could go there everyday! Toys to play with and real tractors to check out. You should all go there and check it out.

Mommy and Daddy went to a party the other night so their friend Kristin came over to play with me while they were gone. We had a good time. I think I really entertained her. I don't understand though if she comes over to play with me, why she put me to bed. I was worn out and all but really thought she should have to go to sleep too. Adults are always pulling the wool over my eyes!

Since my last update, I had a double ear infection. It made it really hard to sleep. Now that I am working on another update, I have an infection in my left ear. This really stinks. I don't like to feel bad. Mom sure hopes I quit getting these - me too! We skipped story time because my nose is all runny.

Really it seems life has been pretty average. I have been helping Mommy a lot. She was cleaning the windows so I helped her clean them. She also was wiping down the counters so I helped her by wiping the trash can. When we were done we washed our hands. The other thing I do now is help her unload the dishwasher. Sometimes stuff is still wet so Mommy dries it. I help her dry stuff. When I am not being helpful, I am usually climbing. Mommy put out some Christmas decorations near the stairway. I cleverly climbed the outside of the steps to reach them and rearrange them. Unfortunately a couple of things were broken. Oops! She also put up the Christmas tree. It looks pretty, but I can't reach any of the pretty things. Instead I throw Dakota's ball into the tree. It entertains me.

I am sure I will have more to post soon since Christmas is coming. Hope you all are being good so Santa finds you. I know I am ALWAYS good!
