27 Months - December 2006
December 26, 2006 - January 1, 2007
(2 year, 17 weeks)
I had a lot of fun at Ma and Grandpa Jim's
for Christmas. I did get a little tired of opening presents though.
It's hard work being a kid. It was really nice seeing my cousin
Lincoln. He is so cute. I liked his toys too.
I have started saying Not instead of No
and it's driving Mommy crazy. I think it's really funny.
I am also on a Wonder Pets kick. The
Wonder Pets save the (insert pretty much any animal that you can think of).
Mommy is trying to use the whole team work philosophy to get me to pick up
my toys. To her credit it does work when she starts singing "what's
gonna work? Teamwork." I also like pretending that the laundry
basket is the fly boat. Confused about the Wonder Pets? Check
out Nick Jr.
I am missing Chanukah and Christmas
already. No more candles or lights. :-(

December 19 - December 25, 2006
(2 year, 16 weeks)
Not sassy as in mouthing off but sassy as
in check out my new sassy hair! On Friday, Mommy took me to the kid
haircut place and I got my haircut while sitting in the fire truck. I
also got a really cute felt flower bow that I want to wear everyday.
The biggest highlight of this week however
is that I went to the Shedd Aquarium and saw the baby beluga whale named
Bella. I also got to see Mommy and Daddy belugas, dolphins, penguins,
sea horses, sharks, and lots of fish. I had a great time. Check
out the video below. A new photo documentary to follow soon.
Baby Ian and I have colds together.
We have coughs, runny noses, and tonight even fevers. There is clearly
nothing like brotherly and sisterly love.
Hanukkah has been fun. I love when
Daddy lights the candles every night. I have even been repeating the
prayer said when the candles are lit. It is one of my evening
highlights aside from making sure the Christmas tree lights are plugged in
the minute it gets dark.
Grandma Gigi got me a Bitty Baby from the
American Girl store. I named her Baby Colleen. Did you know that
this is also Mommy's name?! Sometimes I like calling Mommy Colleen but
the other day I called her Miss Mommy after she called me Miss Rachel.
It was SO funny.

Favorite Activity:
"Body Slam" which involves a body slam onto pillows.
Hmm...wonder where I would have learned that one? Daddy
perhaps?
December 12 - December 18, 2006
(2 year, 15 weeks)
I got to see Uncle Jeffrey and Aunt Lauren
this weekend. We had a big family brunch on Sunday and I got to play
the piano with Pa. I also got my first Hanukkah gift - a doctor kit.
I LOVE my stethoscope and wear it everyday.
I have been told that I am such a polite
little lady. I have been saying excuse me when I make gas - belching
or otherwise and I eat like a grown up with my utensils. I even had my
napkin on my lap at lunch today. I mean a girl has to be up on her
etiquette even while enjoying her happy meal.
I jumped where both feet left the ground
at the same time on Saturday!

"Oh Chanumas Tree, Oh Chanumas Tree"
Opening my Gift
December 5 - December 11, 2006
(2 year, 14 weeks)
I am so excited! I got a Christmas
tree on Sunday with Mommy, Daddy, and Baby Ian. It was really really
cold outside but I didn't care. I love my Christmas tree. It is
the first thing I want to see in the morning. I have a special Elmo
and Zoe ornament and a Snoopy ornament. First Mommy put blue and white
lights on the tree and then she video taped Daddy and I as we decorated the
tree. We even sang while we put ornaments on the tree. You're
probably thinking "Oh gee, I wonder what Christmas carols a girl of such few
years would happen to know?" Well it might surprise you to learn that
B-I-N-G-O is the official Pogany Christmas carol.
Ooh!!!! But the REAL exciting news
is that I am going to go see Laurie in concert and I can't wait. Mommy
got tickets for us to go and it is all I can talk about. I even told
Baby Ian's doctor when we went to his appointment last week.

Dancing to my favorite preprogrammed
keyboard song. And yes, I am really dancing this fast.
