I Was a Good Girl This Year

Santa had a big bag of goodies for me this year, probably because I was such a good girl. My pile of presents was larger than I am. At one point they almost toppled onto me, but my mommy saved me. I really didn't understand what was going on with all the wrapped boxes, but I liked all the toys and clothes that were inside the boxes. My best gift was Spongebob Squarepants beanie baby. I like to suck on his nose.

Doing Some Business

Today I visited my Pops (Gramps) at his workplace and helped him send out some of his mail. It was my first time in a business environment and I felt really good sitting in the president's chair. A smile works wonders when trying to sell something. I was glad to be of help, but I wasn't able to stay long because I had a lot of Christmas shopping to do.

My First Holiday Party

I went to the 6G Three pad last night for a holiday party. I was pretty excited because my dad had been talking about the food all week and I even saw Amy Lynn cooking up some pretty yummy smelling chili.

Well it lived up to its expectations. As you can seen in this picture with Katie, I dressed for the occasion.





I thoroughly enjoyed the festivities (my dad and I fighting over a cold one) and I met people my own age like Camilla aka chicken. Chicken is pretty cool and just like I was about four months ago. My mom said we might hang out some more and I am happy about that because I'm tired of hanging out with big people all the time.

Rough Day

Yesterday was a difficult day for my daddy and me. We are both big Steelers fans and our team lost. The small consolation I have is that my Pops (grandpa) grew up in Cinci and is a Bengals fan (they won). It was still a tough game because the Steelers couldn't get it together (for the 3rd game in a row). At least I look cute in my jersey which is Polamalu. For those of you who are not familiar with him, he is the player with the really long hair. I hope to have hair like that someday.

The Jumpster

Last night I wouldn't go to bed so my mom and dad put me in my jumpy swing to wear me out. It took 2 hours of solid jumping before I was ready to go to bed. I was having a blast. I can jump really high now. It worked because I woke up at ten a.m. this morning after eleven hours of sleep. The best thing was that it snowed last night, so I saw snow for the first time in my life this morning. What a day!

Amy Lynn is ENGAGED!!

My mommy's college friend Amy Lynn is engaged. I've been sucking on her fingers all night because I am so happy! She is the first (actually third- refer to comments) person I have ever known to have gotten engaged while I've been alive. Wowsers. This holiday season is on the up and up. My mommy and Amy polished off a bottle of champagne to celebrate. Amy said the wedding is going to be at the end of July. I can't wait, even though I will probably have to stay with a babysitter.

New Bib

My mom bought me a new bib when we were on vacation in the desert. It was pretty smart of her because I was ruining all of my other bibs with squash and yam droolings that didn't quite make it into my stomach. I like my bib a lot because it has kiss marks on it just like the ones my grammy leaves all over me when she sees me.

My First Thanksgiving

I went to Palm Springs for Thanksgiving. My grandparents have a house in La Quinta. I like it there very much because I can sunbathe in the nude. My parents like to travel and I have decided that I like to travel too. I sat in first class with my grandparents and enjoyed it very much. It was so relaxing that I slept through both of the flights. I know that I am young and inexperienced, but I was born for first class. My mom and dad sat in coach. My mom liked it because she said that it felt like a date.

I had a lot to eat and drink on Thanksgiving. This was by default of course, but it tasted good to me. I also got to hang out with my Aunt Mish and Uncle Stefan who both live in California. I don't get to see them very often so it was a special weekend.

I Can Sit

This happened about a month ago, but I think that it is a Top 5 moment in my life. As you can see I was pretty excited about the whole event. I mean look at me- I can now defy gravity! At first I was a bit wobbly and I have to admit to my chagrin, I toppled over many times. I laughed a lot with my mommy when it happened. I think she laughed more than I did though. Now I can actually sit up and play with my hands at the same time. I can even sit up and put my hands in my mouth!

This is a very good position for when I have an upset stomach. It usually makes pooping easier. Did you know that everybody poops? My mom hasn't read that book to me yet, but I hear it is pretty good.

Hello World

My name is Cassidy. I am seven months old and I have decided that it is time for me to blog. Many people want to know about me and my mom is slow to send them pictures. This way they can just log on and find out about what I am up to. Welcome to my life.

A little bit about me. I was born on May 5th 2005. I think that it was a pretty easy labor, but I don't remember much of it. All I know is that it was very tiring and I slept for 5 days straight. In that first seven months of my life I have become aware of many things. Like my hands. I love my hands. I can stare at them for hours. If I get bored of looking at them I can put them in my mouth. They are also good for holding things to put in my mouth. If I like something, I will usually put it in my mouth.

As you can see I am pretty cute. It gets me a lot of mileage. When I am behaving badly I don't usually get into very much trouble because one smile will melt any heart. I like to talk a lot too. Raspberries are my favorite. I especially like to try to make them last for a very long time. I think my longest was 20 seconds. I will write more later, but I have to go play on my Exersaucer.
