Squeeky Shoes

Nikelle is getting so big! She is now 19 months and weighs just over 21 lbs. She is such a joy to be around. I love that she is learning new words like: no, no nap, no (with a dirty look), and so many others. She has discovered the outdoors, and helps herself through the doggy door. She does crack us up!


Nikelle loves Gabba and will ask for "muno". If you don't know who Muno is, well he is the big orange/red guy on Yo Gabba Gabba. Every night before she goes to bed we sit on my bed and watch Muno. I don't know if it is a good or bad thing, but I guess she is only little once, and just a little extra cuddle time is worth it.


So, Nik's sister sells squeeky shoes. I have to say, I do love them. Nikelle does too! She now can get into her drawer and find her shoes. Most of them she puts on by herself. Well, she started this thing. When you put them on she dances. We call it the squeeky shoe dance. Nik started making noices (he calls it beat boxing...good thing he stays with his day job). Now, Nikelle would dance to this. One night we got this on video...

Christmas and more!

Well, this might be long. My Christmas break started last week, and it has been a blast to stay home with Nikelle. We have had some fun times together.

Wednesday, after Nik got off work, we headed over to the Christmas village. Since we have all been sick, we havn't made it to Santa. Well, we went to see him, and this is what she thought.







ummm, pretty sure she didn't like him to much! I think she did enjoy the hot chocolate (after it was cool enough, of course) and looking at most of the houses. oh well, maybe next year?

Then the celebrations started!!

It all started Christmas eve. She decided to wake up around 7, which is way early for her. This is what she decided to do: (it's a little dark, sorry)
You need to watch on the left side, you will see her. It is the Elmo live that we got her last year.

Then we went to my mom's and dad's to celebrate Christmas. She got spoiled (or in other words: loved a lot) I think this was a good practice for Christmas morning. She got a doll that has buttons, zippers, velcro, and all the fun stuff to practice. She got a doll house, and a Tinkerbell table.

This is what Santa brought

Christmas morning was a blast! She got up, and walked down the hallway, stared at everything, and leaned against the couch. We asked her if she was going to see what Santa got her. She got supper excited, ran to things and started showing us what she got. We got it all on video. Good thing I only wrapped three things. We would have been there forever. We got her a chair and I thought for sure that would be the thing. Well, she loved her baby stuff more. The stroller has gone everywhere in our house. Of course, she puts the baby in there. The cutest thing, she tries to give her babies her binky, but of course they don't want it so, she takes it! I do think Nik and I enjoyed it since we love toys and this gave us a reason to play with them.

After we went and seen our grandma's we headed over to Nik's parents. There, she got loved a lot again. She got a baby, cute clothes, and a purse with pretties (braclets and a necklace). We all played rock band and watched Nikelle and Anniston dance.
The girls got cute piggy jammies and we all got Grinch ones. They were black with Grinch's on the feet. So, our new band name is the Grinches (I know, thoughtful).




Nikelle liked the boy's game chairs.


My cute nephew, Dallas, we are in the box.



Then he wanted Nikelle in the box too. Then he tried to squish me.

Nikelle was getting supper tierd, way past her bed time, but she doesn't sleep when things are going on. So, she decided to dance instead. I'm going to say she had a nice Christmas, Thanks to everyone!

Nikelle....a dog?

If you have been to my house, you know that it is pretty crazy. We have three dogs and they all love attention! Well, Nikelle loves her puppies and they love her too. One night after dinner she was sitting there and we were working on her animal sounds. Well, she got on her hands and knees and then said "woof woof". Well, I whipped out the camera and tried to get it. I ended up getting a little piece of it. You have to listen real careful. She moves her head up and down and that is when she saying it. Maybe she thinks she is a dog afterall!
Don't worry, Nik is working on Vroom Vroom, because her new thing is cars!

Happy Halloween

Nikelle's second halloween. Hard to believe. It was a nice night. Nik carved pumpkins, I know we are a little late. We had it planned for last Sunday, but because of the swine flu going around his family, we had to put it off until today. Nikelle was funny, she only lasted a couple of minutes with it, but she didn't get grossed out. She got the hang of getting the candy, but she would just stand there and wait for more. She didn't get the hang of going to the next house to get more. She is just so funny!

Nikelle's first Bday Party

Sorry for the delay, computer problems....surprise!
I finally got everything together from Nikelle's first bday party. It was so much fun, and turned out pretty well. I did a Tinkerbell theme and Grandma China made her a Tinkerbell tutu. Good for me though, I did not get a picture of her cake. It was pretty darn cute. Thanks to everyone that came and I still can not believe that my baby turned one! She is getting so big.
