This is (the back of) my cousin Aby. She turned 2 this past November and between the two of us…well, let’s just say that Great Grandma’s house was only quiet when both of us were sleeping! We did just about everything together (yet separate), which means I have lots of pictures to share!

We played in my pack-n-play together…until Aby stripped her doll butt naked and I knew I had to get out of there or I’d be next!

We ate together and insisted on eating each other’s foods…Aby now likes pickles and I’m eating raisins again!

We braved the 30mph wind together at a nearby park–I swear if she kisses or hugs me one more time I’m runnin’ all the way back to Wisconsin!

We tried to share Great Grandpa’s recliner…but synchronized toddler rocking doesn’t really exist.

We went to the OKC zoo together…and although I wasn’t really excited about sharing the Turtle…

I had no problems sharing grapes when we were hungry…

or the same log when we needed a rest.

Once the family arrived we took turns entertaining everyone. Aby played the piano…

and I put various things on my head…like this plastic measuring cup!

All in all we had a great time together! In fact, it might even be safe to say that really we are just two peas in a pack-n-play…

looking for the same great view. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! See you next week!

I found this in Mama’s car…I wonder what it is?

It’s a balloon! Maybe I can blow it up!

Now if it would just stop bouncing off of my racket…

With no snow oustide my buddies and I thought we’d make a sled inside…pull us Mama, pull us!

Papa told me to come downstairs if I wanted an early Christmas present…I can see it through the railing!

It’s my very own drumset!

Let’s take these bad boys for a ride!

Papa’s playing his drums too…I’m helping him stay on the beat.

I like the snare and the bass drum…Mama says they vibrate the floor…

Oh yeah…I could get used to this. I’ll have John Bonham beat in no time! Have a great week!

it really makes me drool…and I look really good in red!

Mama got me Bucky for Christmas…and he’s soooo cool. He even plays the school song! Wait…he’s not wearing any underwear!

Look at all of this ribbon Mama has…what should I do with it?

I think I’ll wrap Bucky!

Uhm…it’s 10 degrees right now. Not only is Mama crazy for bringing me out here to see the ducks on the lake, but Uncle Nathan is crazy for thinking anything above 30 is COLD!

We got these strawberry sandals for cousin Aby for Christmas and Mama just told me I’m going to see her in OKC in a couple of weeks…so I thought I should test them out and make sure they are good shoes!

Check out my new Big Bird hat! Thank you Grandma Lily and Grandpa Bill!

Aunt Robyn and Uncle Pete came over and since we (still–uncle-ish Scott) have no snow…we manufactured our own!

Mama and Papa took me to an electronic train show inside our Botannical Gardens today. (yes…Papa and I seem to have the same facial expressions…a lot!!!)

It was awesome. The trains just kept going around and around and around…

I think I got dizzy! Hey…I just saw a weiner mobile on the train track!

Sometimes looking over or under the railing just isn’t good enough! Have a great week!
