My First Professional Haircut

Mimi and Mom took me to the Panda Room where I had my first official haircut. Mom had done some evening out, but this was really the first "style" because I actually had enough hair to do something with. I have to say that the lady did a very nice job, because now it sits just so, and it has a cute curl in the back. I didn't think I could be cuter than I already was, but I am!

Sleeping in a Shopping Cart

After a long flight from Dallas to San Francisco I was all tuckered out and couldn't stay awake. My mom decided to try a "No Drug" flight, meaning no Benedryl or other cough syrups, and boy was she sorry. I was a little monkey on the plane and I did not want to sit in my car seat. I am going through a throwing phase and everything mom gave to me to eat and play with I threw at other passengers. The flight couldn't end soon enough. Of course I fell asleep as the flight was landing. Then I was woken up, saw Mimi, collected luggage, strapped in the car and carried off to the market. After the long car ride I was out cold. Mom decided to bring me into the store and prop me up with Mimi's purse. They had an easy time shopping with me being such an angel and all.

Don't Mess With Texas

Last week my mom and I visited Texas to see her best friend from college and her family. She has two little boys and they are both very cute (my mom's opinion). I myself have a big crush on Sean, the little one, because he is such a nice little baby. I often gave him loving pats and hugs and kisses and sang songs to him. I couldn't give him enough attention. Michael, the bigger brother, and I didn't get along as amicably. He pretty much just ignored me unless I touched his trucks. We had some nice moments, but for the most part he was a bit possessive of his trucks. Lucky for me that he had so many trucks that he couldn't keep tabs on all of them, so I just played with the ones he wasn't watching at the time. If he chased after me and didn't want me to play with his things, then I would just pull his pacie (pacifier) out of his mouth and get a rise from him. You can see from the picture that he's being a bit obtuse- he doesn't want to sit on the couch with me and the baby because he's afraid of cooties.

Sometime in March

Less than a week after the 70 degree weather (and my blowout) it snowed. Go figure. So I dressed up in my faux fur and set out for the hills of Central Park for my first sledding expedition. It was a borrowed sled from the kind neighbor upstairs. At first I didn't really know what was going on- dad was at the top of the hill and mom was waiting at the bottom. After the initial push I was a bit disoriented, but then I realized that it was just like a slide and I didn't want to stop. So we sledded for awhile and I had a great day.

Crazy Girl on a Horse

This is me at the park getting wild. I like to play on all the toys here, but I have to say that this horse is probably my favorite. It is about 70 degrees out today and I just went out to breakfast with my mom and Holly for popovers and salmon. Holly ordered the salmon, but I ate half of it (as is my habit). No we are at the park where I get to run around and have my fun with the big and small kids. Unbeknownst to me, I am about to have a very major blowout (in the pants kind) and I will have to go home and immediately be placed in the shower where mom hoses me off because it is EVERYWHERE. I have a sneaking suspicion the smoked salmon has a little to do with it, as well as the previous weekend's illness that I am recovering from.

Dolly Loving

I really love my Dolly- almost as much as my Bee (blankie). I take her for long walks in the stroller. I also feed her milk, clip her nails, lather her with lotion (or balmex or vaseline- whichever I can get my hands on), and most recently I livened up her face with some temporary tattooage. She still loves me no matter what I do. Isn't she the cutest?

Bridezilla

There are so many great dress up things at my home. Like a closet full of my mom's shoes, and purses, and scarves. I found this item in one of the closets and couldn't resist putting it on and running around our apartment. I think that I will make a beautiful bride.

I Ate Amy's Breakfast

Last weekend I went to breakfast with my mommies college friends at a diner on the East Side. I was on my best behavior except for I did spill a large glass of orange juice. I had my own uncomfortable seat- one of those hard wooden highchairs, but quickly had myself reseated on Amy Lynn's lap. It turned out that I was lucky because she ordered a spinach omelet, which I ate more than half of, not including her toast, which I also wolfed down. Amy is about six months pregnant, so I am surprised that she didn't have more of an appetite. She let me touch her baby belly too.

Eliora's Birthday

I went to one of my best friend's birthdays in February. She is really fun and we love to play and gossip together, and give each other lots of hugs of course. We used to be in the same class at Montessori, but then Eliora was moved up and Caleb became my best bud.


Here's a picture of Caleb and me. We have a great deal of fun together. I run around everywhere and he follows, usually because I've taken something that is his....like his cereal. He's a lot of fun to play with because he's not afraid to do anything.

Brushin My Tee

Normally I hate brushing my tee, usually to the point where mom has to wrestle me to the floor to get the job done, that is until today when I received my new extra soft brush. The brush is so soft that I refuse to put it down. I have been massaging my tee with it all morning and getting ALL of the grime off of them. I now love brushing my tee, and never want to give up the toothbrush.

The Godfather

I went to New Jersey for lunch with my Godfather this weekend. I haven't seen him for months, maybe even a year, and he was calling himself a "deadbeat dad". I don't really know what that is, but maybe it has something to do with me being scared of him when I first saw him. I had a pretty tasty lunch of chicken and fries, and then I had a great time running around making cute faces at the other patrons. I also received a couple of late Christmas gifts from my Godfather. For some reason he celebrates Christmas in February, I didn't want to say anything, but somebody should really set the guy straight. He gave me a book (which I love) and Uniqua, a cute little purple doll that sings lullabies to me. I guess my Godfather is pretty cool.

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.

The Train Show

Mom and I went to the Train Show at the Botanical Gardens and it was really cool! I didn't know what it was about at first, but when I saw those trains chugging along I became really involved in the excitement of it all. I also got to see famous New York architecture in my size. How cool is that? Look at me, I'm almost taller than the Statue of Liberty!

Can you see the trolley car in this picture? It took me a minute at first, but once I figured out it was above me, I couldn't get enough of it.

Rocking With My Pals at Rockerfeller

Since I am a New York City girl, my parents felt it was necessary that I see the tree at Rockerfeller Center. Little did I know that Spongebob, the Grinch, and Elmo would be there too. OH,WOW! I was lucky enough to get my picture taken with them, but I was so enthralled that I forgot to look at the camera. It really is me in the picture, I SWEAR!
