HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I just got back from Pawpaw and Gung gung's house. I had a great Christmas break. I spent a few days without Mommy and Daddy at first. PP and GG made sure I had a good time, so I didn't miss Mommy and Daddy at all. But when they came, I was very happy. On Christmas Day, we opened presents....and as you can see from the pictures, I had a blast. Climbing the stairs was one of my favorite activities. And playing with Gung gung's drum set and computer. I've been busy taking care of my baby doll and making soup for her. I even pretend to change her diaper and pat her when she cries. I can't wait for the movie "Happy Feet" to come out. It was in the previews of March of the Penguins. They showed a penguin tap dancing....I pretended I was the penguin and danced like crazy. I could watch that part over and over and over again.

I went to Manhattan Beach one day. I played in the sand and crushed Daddy's sand castles. That was a fun day, because after that, it started to rain. And then we didn't go out much. Good thing I got so many toys for Christmas. These days, I can say Mommy, Daddy and Pawpaw pretty well. I had a very hard time with "Gung Gung" and usually resort to giving Gung gung a kiss instead. It's easier that way. I've also learned to "show my teeth" which is sorta like smiling, but it's pretty funny looking. Hee hee.

My first road trip was the drive up from LA. It went pretty well. The first hour, I read all my books and then played with all my car toys. Then, I watched videos for the next 2 hours. I know, I shouldn't, but I kept crying, so M & D let me watch. We stopped for lunch at Harris Ranch and the food was yummy! I had a little of everything and lots of fruits. After lunch, I napped and by the time I woke up, we only had about an hour or so to go. Mommy didn't let me watch videos anymore, so I played with my toys and read some books again. It was pretty boring this time around, but I survived. Finally, we got home and I was so happy....because I got to play with all my new toys again! Yippeee! I guess I didn't do too badly for my first long road trip. I think it took us around 6.5 hours...not bad.
