Bathtime Story by Daddy

Happy Birthday, Miss Amy!

Happy Birthday!

Thank you for taking such good care of me!

Miss My CupCake

Don't tell momma this, she will think her hubby is a big softy. Anyhow, last night as I was getting CC ready for bath time, I got all choked up reading her expected pre-bath time story; "Bath time for Baby". I did not do the story justice with the usual flair in which I deliver the tale. Sorry Cup Cake.

I will miss you...ok and your mommy too.


Parting is such sweet sorrow...

Personality

Crazy Crumbz is really showing her personality. At bed time, she will grab daddy's throat and massages his jugular while she slips into a dreamy bliss. However, when daddy moves to place her gently into the crib, all bets are off. She is wide awake and very aware that she is being moved from her warm, comfortable spot on daddy's lap into the cool confines of the crib. Long gone are the days of when she would point to the crib and welcome the ability to spread out and drift off to sleep on her own.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Brayden

Today I partied like a rock star with my friend Brayden. I am not sure how old he is (4), I am sure my mommy will remind me again and I seriously doubt mommy will let me date Brayden when I am in high school. However 10-12 years afterwords not a big deal. Just like mommy..

Anyhow here are some cool pix that I think you all will love. Am I a photo "Ham" or what?
Happy Birthday Brayden, you will always have a special place in my heart :P



The place we romped and rolled is called My Gym and it is in Red Mill, deep in Virginia Beach.

Where is momma?

Daddys' Girls

Tonight, we spent some time at the Behr house to say "see ya later" to Larry. He's off to Leavenworth, KS for a year. :-( I really wanted to get a picture of the guys and their girls. Since Jose has more girls than hands, Sofia decided to sit on Uncle Nutz's lap. We all have pretty and healthy girls; very blessed!

Momma and Daddy love

Well the little girl has taken a liking to Mommy and daddy smooching! Yesterday when we all finally got home, little CC was in daddy's arms getting some smooches, momma came over for some smooches and the wee one liked the sight of mommy and daddy smooching.  So as soon as we would break apart, Cupcake would push our two faces together for more smooches.  Cute, I like kissing momma!

Growing up

Daddy's little girl is growing up. I took cupcake to the pool this evening and of course she loved it. She hesitated a little before getting in however once in she did not want to leave. for fun she would climb up the ladder walk around to the edge of the pool and ease back in and repeat with daddy assistance. After a dozen or so evolutions, she was on her own and doing just fine climbing up the ladder, walking around, easing back into the pool and moving along the edge to get to the ladder. Almost brought a tear to my eye!

Skylar Rae Behr is here!

Congratulations Chris and Larry! Skylar Rae was born on December 28, 2008 at 14:40. She weighed 8 lbs 12 1/4 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long! She's a cutie; looks just like her mother!

Christmas with Grandma Charmie

We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at Grandma Charmie's house. Mimi, Uncle David, Uncle Steve, and Uncle Mike were there also. We had a nice Christmas dinner with Grandpa D and his family. Thanks for all the great gifts and the warm hospitality!

Dinner with the Reed Family

Aunt Amy and Uncle Jeff had us over for dinner on the 23rd. It was so much fun! As you can see from the pictures, I was the only little girl there. Kaleb R., George S., Devin, Cayleb, and Dalton...a bunch of boys.

Aunt Amy had beautiful Christmas decorations but especially liked her Florida Gator Christmas tree; it was AWESOME!!

Dinner was delicious and we had a GREAT time! Thanks for having us!

My Friend, George

While I was in FL, George and his mommy came to visit me! He's a cutie and I had so much fun playing with him. Aunt Marcella is such a sweetie and I love to give her hugs. Here are the pictures from our visit.

Christmas with Miss Amy

Miss Amy and I exchanged gifts before we left for FL. I loved my books and can't wait to get my new Baby Bug subscription. Check out our pictures.

Friends

I love this!

18 Month Check Up

Click the picture to see a larger version.

This afternoon, CC had her 18 month checkup. She was the perfect little girl while Dr. V examined her. I kept wondering what happened to the "real" CC.

Her stats:

weight - 25 lbs 10 oz
height - 31 1/4 "

head - 19

She's getting to be such a big girl. She decided to "show off" to the doctor that she knew how to put on her socks and shoes all by herself. I think Dr. V was impressed. Also, each time CC goes for her wellness checks, she gets a book. As you all know, she LOVES books. Dr. V asked her to point out items on the page; CC knew them. She's smart like her daddy, I mean mommy. :-)

Auntie Anne's Going Away Party

Today we had a "going away" party for our good friend, Anne. It's a bittersweet time for us; we're happy for her next adventure but sad that she won't be next door.

We had a great turnout. Nutz made his famous tacos and they were delicious as ever. As a "don't forget us" gift, I made a video, A Story of Anne...and her friends, for Anne. I included pictures (and lots of them) of our years (still can't believe we've known each other since 2004).

Goodbye, Vicki!

My good friend, Vicki, is moving to DC! I know, it's not that far! As a celebration of Vicki's new adventure, we (Anne, Vicki, and I) had dinner at The Green Onion; it was DELICIOUS!

Good luck Vicki, we'll miss you!
