My Crazy Hippo

This past weekend we took a trip to see my Grandma & Grandpa Peterson, Uncle Adam, and Aunt Kaitlin for Christmas.  The car ride was kind of long for me soooo...me Mom, Hippo played.  I had some great convos with the Hippo.  Listen up!  

Videos

Mom has tried to keep up with videos, but she only has the video on her phone.  I overheard her and Dad talking, and I think Santa is bringing her one for Christmas!  Some of these things I don't remember, but I guess she does.  Check me out...



 Mom always wonders why I don't gain weight, well I can't sit still...I have to stay busy..Kicking!

. 

This is me rolling over...I did this for the first time about 6 weeks ago, but I haven't completely mastered rolling from my back to my stomach.  I did it once, but I'm just not ready to do it again.  But I love sticking my toes in my mouth...mmm they taste so good.

 

 This is how I talk now...I entertain my parents quite abit.  They are so easily amused. 

Firsts

Take a look at all the "FIRSTS" in my life:

First Day of Life:  It was a great day.  I got to meet my parents!  I was a hog weighing 9lbs 2 oz and 22 inches long.  I met a lot of family and friends at the hospital.  It will be hard to learn all there names but they are such good friends of Mom and Dad that I know I will see them more as I get bigger.

My First bath at home.  It wasn't that bad, I really like when Mom washed my hair!  

One of my First Smiles.  Mom was able to catch it on camera eventually.

First Husker Game.  Dad went to the game so my Grandma Potter, Aunt Julie, and Aunt MJ came to watch it with me and Mom. 

First time meeting my cousin Rowan.  He is 23 days older than me.  We are great friends already!  We cheer on the Huskers together.  Even though he lives in Iowa he is a Husker fan.  That is so cool! 



First day in Church...Baptism.  I was very lucky to have so much family join me.  My Godfather, Uncle Matt, and Godmother, Aunt Julie, Aunt MJ, Aunt LaCosta and both Grandparents came and even my Great Grandma Pryor.  My cuz Rowan was there too! 

My First full day at Babysitters...Mom's First day back at work :( 

I love Laurie's but my Mom misses me and I miss her too, and sometimes my Dad. 

First Halloween .  We started off with my First trip to Vala's Pumpkin Patch.  Mom and Dad got some kettle corn and I fell asleep on the hayrack ride... they still got me a baby pumpkin.  I was a cow for Halloween and even went Trick-or-Treating.  It was such hard work I fell asleep in action.

First Thanksgiving.  I spent it in Schuyler while Mom was on-call.  Grandma and Grandpa Peterson and Aunt Kaitlin came and celebrated with me. 

My First performance.  I was Baby Jesus in Christmas on the Hill, put on by the LifeTeens in Schuyler. 

Well I think I've updated you on all the things in my life so far.  I'm impressing Mom and Dad with rolling over and a lot of talking.  You should hear me I'm good.  Hopefully Mom will find time to post the videos she has of me.   

Look at me!
