I Prefer Shoes, Thanks

I don't know what it is with all these hats, but people seem to think that they are my favorite thing. First my mom buys me a new hat and now I just received a handmade hat from Mimi. It was awfully kind of her, and it goes very nicely with my scarf, but I am not into hats! I prefer going hatless thank you very much.











Mom has none of it though. As soon as she pulled the hat out of the package it went straight onto my head (and I had just taken off the other one). Here's the results of my photo sess.

New Hat and Hair

So my mom has been trying to make me wear a hat for a long time, but it's just not my thing. I don't like being pent up, and a winter hat is suffocating. Mom bought me this pink hat and told me that it was sooooo cute on me and I kinda took the bait. If somebody tells me I look good in something, well that makes me want to wear it. It worked with the scarf, so I guess it will work with the hat too.



My mom is really clever because she gets me to do what she wants. I even stayed still for her while she gave me a haircut (well as still as I could). There are only a few uneven spots in my new hairdo. I didn't really want to pose for this second picture, but she talked me into doing that too.

Hang on World, I'm Taking a Call

I just wanted to show off my fancy new scarf that my mom knitted for me. I have to say that periwinkle is definitely my color. She made it just in time as the New York weather has gone from 50's and 60's to 20's and below in just the past week. I'm feeling winter now folks, and is it COLD. I'm glad that I have my passport, because I think that a Mexico vacation is in the works. I'm actually calling my travel agent now to see what she can set up for my parents and me.

I am the Queen of my Brush!

I have learned how to style my hair, and boy is it a relief. No more of my mom and dad tugging on my snarls. In about 2 minutes I can tame my uncontrollable locks, so that they form a very stylish dew like the one you see here. Wow am I babelicious. (And may I add...check out my full set of pearly whites. No, they are not veneers, just my inheritance of the fabulous Weiss family teeth.)

My Uncle's International "Friend"

My uncle Steven had company for Christmas this year in the form of a blond bombshell named Nora. Uncle Steve calls her his "Friend" while she calls him "My Love". I guess that cat is out of the bag.
Regardless, I think that Nora is really nice and friendly. She gave me some great gifts like a singing flower that was actually a point of contention because Pops told Nora that it was really from China, not Budapest (according to the label on the bottom). I guess it is better that she learn about Pop's picking attitude sooner rather than later. I told Pops that I don't really care where the flower is from as long as I can sing and dance with it all the time. Unfortunately I couldn't take it home because it didn't fit in our luggage on the way back to New York. I was very sad.

My La Quinta Vacation

I spent Christmas and the New Year in La Quinta, a small Californian town. I don't know much about weather yet, but I sure liked the sunny skies and warm temperatures of the lower latitudes (or is it longitudes?) I also enjoyed the preferred mode of transportation- my wagon.











During my vacation I discovered that I am an avid golfer. As soon as I had a plastic kiddie club in my hands I was putting the golf balls around like a pro.















Dad taught me a couple of techniques and then Grammy taught me how to wack it.















I was even able to drive the golf cart around...(with supervision of course!)

Christmas #2

My moment with Elmo. Yes, I am a very lucky girl this year because I received the highly coveted Tickle Me Elmo doll. He is so silly, but I have to say that his laughing fits scare me a little bit. He just can't stop laughing!
This is me and blankie in front of the La Quinta Christmas tree. I was feeling a little under the weather, but still interested in all of the gifts.
