3 months old

I have been so very busy. I'm 3 months old now. Let's see, last time blogged my Daddy was taking care of me while Mommy went to work. That was just so much fun. Daddy and I are best buddies. Then both Mommy and Daddy went back to work and Grandma and Pop came up from FL to stay with me. We played, took naps, and got ready for the holidays. I also got to go to some really cool parties. I went to a Children's Party at Daddy's work and got to see Santa Claus. Then at Mommy's office Christmas party I saw Santa again (that man is everywhere, it's amazing) We also had a holiday party with Daddy's department from work. I like to go to parties they are lots of fun. On Sat. Dec. 22 we celebrated Christmas with Grandma and Pop. I like opening presents. I got some neat toys including a toolbox, a leap frog caterpillar, and maracas. I ended up getting the same maracas from Bubbie and Pop-Pop, so I exchanged them for a drum. Bubbie and Pop-Pop also got me a guitar. I'm ready for my own band. On Dec. 23 I drove to Pittsburgh with Mommy and Daddy. I got to see Great Grandma and Great Grandpa. I got to meet Great Aunt Kitty, Great Uncle Les, cousin (first cousin once removed) Colleen, Great Aunt Libby, Great Uncle Paul, cousins (yep more first cousins once removed) Quinn and Shannon. Great Aunt Kitty, Great Uncle Les and Colleen live in Missouri. Great Aunt Libby, Great Uncle Paul, Quinn and Shannon live all the way in New Zealand. Maybe one day I'll get to go there. Daddy says that if so we could go to where Lord of the Rings was filmed. He says that when I get bigger I will like that movie, but right now it is too long and scary for me. Later that day we drove to Washington, PA and I got to meet Great Aunt Cyndy, Ron, cousin (first cousin once removed) Lori, Bryan, and cousin (second cousin) Julian. We had a yummy meal and had lots of fun. Christmas eve was really fun. We had our big holiday meal, played cranium, and then opened our gifts. I got some clothes, a need book from New Zealand and a stuffed animal that I will be able to use to learn how to button, snap, tie shoes, all of the important things for when I get bigger. I didn't want to go to sleep that night. I was so excited to see Santa. Christmas morning I woke up to find out that Santa filled up my stocking with all kinds of fun things including some new pacifiers. Santa brought me some books, and mirror that plays music, and I can plug my ipod into to listen to different music, and my glow in the dark pacifiers that I asked for. He also left me a note saying that he also left some presents at my house in Hagerstown. He said that he got confused. Silly Santa. Then we went and I met my first cousin once removed Scott and his girlfriend Dani. They have drums and a piano at their house too, but it is a lot bigger than mine, and I don't think they teach them the alphabet:) Then we went back home. Santa had brought me more presents. He brought me the Leap Frog Brightlings Station I asked for. It's really cool. I also got presents from Mommy, Daddy, Bubbie, Pop-Pop and Uncle Paul. I got some more clothes, books, a vibration unit for my crib, a leap frog learning tad, Baby Einstein dvds, and more. I haven't even used everything yet. Bubbie took care of me on the 26th and 27th and then on the 28th Pop-Pop came out to. We had lots of fun. We had a quite weekend and Mommy and Daddy took me shopping to return/exchange some of our duplicate gifts. Mommy and Daddy are so silly. They actually bought each other two of the same gifts. On Dec. 31 Mommy and Daddy went to work and guess who took care of me Uncle Paul. We had a great day. I think I got his used to changing poppy diapers:) Mommy and I went to bed early that night and I didn't see the ball drop. On Jan. 1 Mommy and Daddy had colds so they just rested a lot, I liked that. On Jan. 2 I started at daycare. I really like. I get to play with other babies including my friend Mason. When Mommy picks me up I make sure to talk to her and tell her all about my day. Ok, I'm getting a little hungry, time for dinner. Mommy is going to update the photobucket site this weekend. Now that things have slowed down I'm going to update here more frequently.
Love always,
Gideon
