First Valentine's Day

In order to give my Mommy and Daddy some alone time, the night before Valentine's Day I went over to Papa's temporary Saudi home to hang out with him. We had a fun evening together talking to Nana on Facetime and I had fun exploring a new place.  Thanks to Papa for taking care of me.

On Valentine's Day, Daddy had the whole day off of work so I was able to spend the whole day with Mommy and Daddy!  At some point in the day they took me outside to take pictures with the flowers.  

Will you be my Valentine?

My First Christmas! pt. 2

When you have to travel so much to see family, Christmas gets to last a really long time.  It's pretty fantastic.  After a great Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa Sperling's, we drove to Houston to have Christmas with Nana and Papa.  My aunts and uncles and cousins all met us there in Houston to have a big family Christmas. It was crazy and exciting. Nana made us all get dressed up and take family pictures.  They turned out great.

After the posing and smiling we all got to open presents.  I still wasn't really sure what to do but it was fun anyway.

I had a great First Christmas part 2 with the Gilbert family!

I Met Santa!

I met Santa. He's a pretty cool dude. 

I'll be Home for Christmas!

On November 29, Mom and I started our journey across the world to the USA to be there for the holidays.  We left Dad at home to work a couple more weeks before he was able to come to the USA. Overall our journey was very smooth.  I make life easy on Mom!  I never really cried, threw a fit or anything. I just go with the flow.  Although by the end of the 16 hour flight we were both very ready to be off that plane.  Nana picked us up at the airport and snapped a picture of us before we got in the car.

Before we left for Houston, Mom had told Nana about how much I like to stand up and see the world. Mom was worried I wouldn't last too long just laying on the floor this time. So, Nana and Papa gave me my Christmas present early.  I LOVE it! I haven't quite figured out that I am the one making it move but I'm getting better everyday. 

 Nana had worked hard to get the house nice and Christmas ready for us and it looked beautiful.  Everything was ready except that the Christmas tree wasn't decorated. One night when Papa was out of town Nana, Mom and I decorated the Christmas tree.  I was lucky enough to decorate two trees this year!

We have also spent time with my Great Grandma Eddy.

First Halloween

My first Halloween was spent in Saudi Arabia.  Mom decided that this year I was going to be a skeleton.  Halloween morning we went to Lulu's to decorate cookies and play with our friends. Mom of course stole my cookie from me but its ok because I was able to play with Brooklyn.  She was nice enough to let me borrow her exersaucer for a little while!  I can't wait to have my own.

 I also spent the evening hanging out at Dan and Heathers handing out candy to kids old enough to go trick-or-treating.  Of course most of my time there was spent napping and testing out my future friend Luke's super cool stuff. Since I slept most of the evening activities I don't have any more pictures.  Don't I look super cute in my skeleton?!
