I'm pretty quiet and graceful about opening gifts this year, but I had a lot of fun.
Playing with a puzzel Nick & Debbie got me with Daddy.
I love this new eskimo doll. 
Signing "hat" (even tho she's wearing a "hood").
What a pretty doll with a lit up snow globe.
Opening up another gift.
Wow my doll has eyes that OPEN and SHUT.
Look at those fingers!
My doll makes me laugh because she talks and laughs too. 
Dad, Mom and I met Colleen and Andy down at Newport to celebrate our Christmas since Colleen & Andy will be with his family this week. My sister Colleen & I were having fun.
This morning I kept pointing to Mommy's "hat" which is her bandana that she works out in. She told me to put it on and I had so much fun doing it!
I LOVE my bear and spent some time this morning situating my bear into the baby swing. I also managed to reach up and turn on the music for the bear while she's in the baby swing.
I just stretch out on the floor, mostly in the kitchen when Mommy is cooking or in the Living Room. I find it comfortable to stretch out and kick back.
...Tiggers are wonderful things, their tops are made out of rubber, their bottoms are made out of springs. I love my tigger!
I LOVE our new Christmas tree! Ocassionally I take off ornaments but for the most part I'm very good. I even showed Mommy that I knew some new signs - owl - and - lizard - when she pointed to these ornaments and told me what they were I signed them.
I really LOVED this painting that Grandpa Stanton did. It hangs right above the bed in the spare bedroom and it was the first thing I saw when I got to Grandma's house. I kept wanting to touch it!
Almost time to eat!
You can't tell by these pictures but I really LOVE my Grandma! I just didn't want to be picked up.
Sharing Dad's beer with Aunt Jan.
No beer left but I love the bottle.
Mom took me to Sharon Woods to play with our Russian friends. Here I am with Stephan.
I'm hugging him here.
What a cutie!
Lots of fun things to do!
HA HA (I love saying this)!
I had a ball!
Here Kevin's holding me and Stephan by the water!
I LOVE the slide!!!
Today Mommy took me to the Children's Museum. We met some friends there, and I'm sitting with Stephan above. I loved it all but especially pushing the baby in the stroller and sliding down the slide! 
Here's a video of me dancing.
Also, I turned 15 months old yesterday and had my checkup. I now weigh 22 lbs and am 2 feet 7.25 inches long - 35% for weight and 75% for height - which means I'm tall and thin!
I'm up to about 40 signs and I'm not in perfect form in this video but it's pretty good! Also remember that my signing isn't "perfect" since I'm just 15 months old!
This morning, after breakfast I caught sight of some cheerios so I ate some. Then Mom gave me a bite of green olive and I loved that even more than cereal! Here I am signing PLEASE because I wanted MORE (and signed more) olives - not cereal! I made friends with a family where the band was playing at the street fair this weekend. I just love giving hugs - especially to other kids!
