Big Smile!

kristel - 31 January 2009

They caught me smiling.  Usually I’m too distracted by the red camera lights.

Story Time

Thomas is having fun with one of his favorite books… although it’s hard to decide since there are so many good ones.

I love books!

Okay, so after catching up with all the Christmas pictures, the 4 month pictures are finally here.  And next week will be picture time again!  How can that be?  These were taken the same night after a long plane ride home from Oregon.  Thomas is not very excited about picture time, so we gave up and went to bed.

Gramma Kathy

I had a wonderful time with Gramma over Christmas vacation.  She took turns holding me over and over again and I giggled a lot with her and Grampa.

Family Christmas Pictures

We try to always take pictures under the tree at Christmas.  Thomas hasn’t quite figured out the camera yet.  He is laughing and smiling the whole time and as soon as you point that camera at him he stares at that red light.

Here I am meeting my friend Teresa.  Teresa is like another grandma to me.  She thinks I’m really great and I think she’s really great too.

Some people find me very entertaining.  I’ve captured the attention of Auntie Barb, Jaime and Uncle Jeff all at the same time.

Just Being Me

Here are just a few close ups of me.  I’m still growing and learning new things, like chewing on my toys.

Day-After-Christmas-Christmas-Eve

kristel

This year we celebrated Christmas Eve on the day after Christmas.  We were really lucky to even make it to Oregon since Portland had more snow than it could handle.  Back home it would have only taken a few hours to clean up, but it took days in Portland and also some rain to help those 55 plows catch up!  Here are a few pictures of Thomas meeting the Heinze side of the family.  Thank you Uncle Greg, for letting us borrow some great pictures!
