The Rosen's Visit Chicago

I had a great time hanging out with Kristin, John and Baby Claire when they came to Chicago last weekend. In a few months they will be our new neighbors!

Claire and I are eating oranges. I didn't totally love when she hung on me, but at least I got an orange out of it.

Here I am with my new buddies!

Mom is holding baby Ethan Cottrell, Schnella has Claire, and

Kristin is holding little Caroline Cottrell.

Here Dad is with Claire before they went back to NYC.



See ya later guys!

Fun with Friends in MN

Here I am with Grandma B.

And Great Aunt Jane loved to give me kisses.....she's so funny!

Tallie and I are jammin in her basement. I really enjoyed her drum set.



Here I am with Baby Alice (Rapacz). She is a cutie!

Brobie and I are buckled in and ready for our flight back to Chicago.

What a fun time we had!

My Second Birthday!

These are pictures from April 5, 2010, the day I turned 2! I was at Grandma and Grandpa Lenz's house in MN. Here is my day.....

We had the lunch buffet at Pizza Ranch, where I got to eat two of my favorite foods, pizza and corn!

Here is Grandpa helping me blow out the candle on my birthday cake. We (including myself) sang "Happy Birthday" a few times. I love that song.

The cake was delicious! It was just the beginning of cake and cupcakes for the next few days!

Don't I look older now?

Here I am helping Grandma with her hair. I'm big enough to do that sort of thing now.

Things I like

Playing with my friends

Driving my car

Dressing up

And most of all, cuddling with my mommy

Fun with Tallie on her Birthday

Tallie, Josie and I waiting for this party to get started!

Tallie's cousin Josie. She made quite the impression on
me as I now name most of my new toy friends Josie.

It's fun getting in on the action and watching T open up her presents

Tallie and I getting our last few jumps in before bed

Strange, but I was told that the bubble wrap was not really

part of the present....what could be better than popping bubble wrap?

Christmas 2009

Christmas at home in Chicago.

Christmas Eve with the Thompson's

Christmas morning at Grandma and Grandpa Lenz's

Sledding with mom on Christmas day. I didn't totally love it, but

what else was there to do, we were snowed in!

Our "not on Christmas Christmas dinner."

Tallie and I are wondering why people insist on interupting us

while we eat.

Thanksgiving

I got to stay at Jeff and Kassie's house for a few days before Thanksgiving. I had such a blast, especially with my cousin Tallie. Here I am playing in the basement with Tallie. Both of us have our new monkeys attached to our backs. I even set the baby stroller aside for a moment to act like a monkey.

Here I am the morning of Thanksgiving, all dolled up.

I love Kassie, Jeff and Tallie. This is them at Thanksgiving.

I went to Macy's 8th floor with Grandma and Grandpa T.

Here, I am giving this cute bear a smooch.
