November 2002 Journal

November!  The month for much colder weather, turning 16 months old, Aunt Atina & Uncle Will's First Wedding Anniversary, Uncle JG's and Pap-pap's birthdays, and the holiday of Thanksgiving!  

We have no major BIG events planned for this month other than traveling to Grandparents Proper for the holiday!




 

I'm 16 Months Old!
November 6 , 2002
Another month has gone by.  I still only have 6 teeth, 4 on top, 2 on the bottom.  I am using the same words as before but more often.  

I still love dancing to music and pointing out "grucks" everywhere I go.  Mommy and Daddy try to tell me all the different names for them, but they are all just "grucks" to me!  I like to help wash my hair in the bathtub but I still don't enjoy laying down to get it rinsed out.  I have to help close the baby gate on the way up the stairs.  Mommy thinks I've learned that from daycare.  I like to push the buttons on the TV and do my "What happened" face and hand shrug.  It gets tons of laughs...unless I do it during The Simpson's!  I like to watch them with Daddy.  Mommy thinks it's funny that I smile at Homer the same way Daddy does!

Well, it's not too be that busy of a month...we needed a break from our busy October.  Don't worry there will be so much going on December that you will hardly be able to keep up!

 

Swimming Lessons Graduation
November 13 , 2002
Daddy and me went to my last swimming lesson.  I was kind of glad about that but sad too.  I was just starting to like it!  I was taught (notice I didn't say learned) how to blow bubbles in the water, lay on my back, kick my feet and reach out for a toy!  Mommy and Daddy said that I am going to take a little break from it for awhile but go back in the new year.  We would miss too many of the classes because of holidays and traveling to take the next session.  Maybe I will be a little older and like it better.
Happy Thanksgiving!
November 28 , 2002
This years Thanksgiving was at Grandma and Grandpa Proper's house in Corry, PA.  Mommy, Daddy and me traveled up the night before.  We had a nice drive and no traffic.  We did leave pretty late though and got to Grandma's around midnight.  I was soo excited to be there that I wouldn't go to bed.  

I did catch a little cold and my teeth were bothering me but the didn't stop Thanksgiving from coming.  Aunt Susan & Uncle Allen Proper, Grammy & Pap-pap Wiles, Great Grandma Young, Uncle JG, Grandma & Grandpa Proper, Mommy, Daddy and me were there.  We missed Auntie Atina, Uncle Will & Nickoli McCoy this year.  Uncle Will had just gotten a new job and was unable to get the days off needed to make the trip.  We really missed them but understood why they couldn't come.  Since I wasn't feeling so good, I just gobbled down some of Aunt Susan's famous "Tiki God Jell-o".  It was yummy and cool in my mouth.  Everyone else enjoyed eating turkey, stuffing, yams, bread, artichokes and of course....pie!  Grandma Proper makes great pie!  She made apple, pumpkin, lemon and coconut cream!!

After dinner, Great Grandma and me took a well needed nap and everyone else visited and cleaned up dinner.  We had a nice time.  I hope that I'm not sick next year...but I seem to be going on some kind of streak, since I was sick last year too!!  Daddy said that I get that from my Mommy!!

I hope that everyone had a nice holiday and didn't eat too much turkey!

   

Christmas with Aunt Susan & Uncle Allen
November 29 , 2002
Since Aunt Susan and Uncle Allen spend Christmas with Aunt Susan's sister's family, we celebrated with them tonight.  

I am learning really quickly about this "Christmas" thing.  I am getting pretty good at opening the packages too!  Speaking of packages, for the last 2 days Daddy had been worrying about a "pink, Barbie" wrapped gift that was for me.  It was really big!  Bigger than me!!  I took my time opening it, which made Daddy even more nervous.  I'm not sure why.  I was being careful and gave every piece I tore off to Grandpa so he could throw it away.  Finally, Daddy jumped in and helped me!  I got a Power Wheels Quad Runner!!  It is sooooo cool!!  It's red and yellow and has 4 wheels.  I was so anxious to ride it that I jumped on it before Daddy and Grandpa could get it put together!!  After they were finished they showed me how to make it go....IT GOES BY ITSELF!!!  All I have to do is push a button!!!  Every time I do it makes me laugh! 

Thanks Aunt Susan and Uncle Allen for the GREAT gift!!

I got other cool stuff too, a couple sweat shirts with "gucks" on them, a baseball glove for me to grow in to and a noisy horn to attach to my new cool toy!!
