It was a Very Merry Christmas

We had a great Christmas!! I opened lots of presents from Santa, Mommy & Daddy, Nana, Kiki & Poppy and all my other family. On Christmas day, we stayed at our house and Nana came over to open presents. My Aunt Laurel and Uncle Lucky came by too. A few days later we went over to Kiki and Poppy's to open even more presents. I must have been as good this year as I thought I was! Some of my favorite presents were pretend ice cream, cookies and cupcakes for learning colors, shapes and numbers. I also got a CD player/karaoke machine, a sleeping bag, a rocking chair, drill, books, puzzles and some really fun games. I was very busy opening presents because not only did I open mine, but I helped everyone else open theirs too!

Welcome to the world Ollie

Well, after months and months of waiting, my baby brother is finally here!! His name is Oliver Graham Norris, but we just call him Ollie. He came just a few days before Christmas. He is really cute and I like him alot. He mostly eats and sleeps, but Mommy and Daddy say that what he needs in order to grow big like me. I am really enjoying helping Mommy and Daddy and spending so much time together as a family. I will go back to school after the holidays to tell my friends and teachers all about Ollie.

Its Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas

We have been very busy getting ready for Christmas and for the arrival of my baby brother on the 21st of December. I have already been to see Santa Claus and I told him that I wanted "a toy" for Christmas. I think I have been pretty good this year, so I am expecting good things!

Daddy put up our Christmas Tree and I "helped" Mommy put the ornaments on it. I have really enjoyed playing with the ornaments-taking them off the tree, hanging them on doorknobs around the house- just doing my part to help decorate the house. And today, Mommy and I made Christmas cookies! I had a lot of fun cutting out the shapes and putting the sprinkles on. Mommy had a hard time keeping me from eating them though. When she finally let me eat one, I thought they were really good.

Well, hopefully the next time you hear from me, I will be introducing my baby brother. Until then, enjoy the Christmas season!

Monkeying Around

We had a great time on Halloween! My Kiki came over to bring me candy and then we went out trick or treating. Mommy and Daddy say I did a great job saying "trick or treat" and "thank you." Then we went over to Nana's to take her a birthday present. Her birthday is on Halloween, ya know? While we were there I got to play some with Tyler and Amanda. I stayed up really late that night and did not want to get up to go to school the next day! I think we've all recovered now.

Happy Fall!

We hope everyone is having a nice fall. It finally feels like fall here in Texas. We have been staying busy getting ready for my baby brother's arrival in a few months. Mommy is feeling great and things are looking good so far. I am really looking forward to meeting my brother and helping Mommy and Daddy. And, I am now sleeping really well in my big boy bed, so my brother will now have a place to sleep!
Here is a video (kind of a long one) and some pictures of me playing over the past few months. There is also one from a hayride at the pumpkin patch. We went a few weeks ago with Tyler, Amanda, Aunt Alisa and Nana. We had a good time, even though I was a bit cranky from not taking a nap that day.
Mommy will post some pictures from Halloween soon and maybe some pictures of her growing belly :) Stay tuned!

I Am Going to be a BIG BROTHER!!!

I am very proud to tell everyone that I am going to have a baby BROTHER soon!! Mommy and Daddy are very excited too. Officially he won't be here until around January 3rd, but Daddy thinks it will be a Christmas baby. Mommy is feeling great and she has been working on our room that we will share. I even have new Big Boy bed that I love. I am not sure about actually sleeping in it though.

San Antonio in July

We had a great time in San Antonio in July. We went there to see some of my family on my Mommmy's side. My Grandma and Grandpa Dean were there along with my cousins, aunts and uncles, some of whom I had never met before. It was fun to see everyone! While we were there, we went to Sea World to see whales, dolphins, sharks and seals. We also went on a boat ride on the river and to the childrens museum. And we ate ALOT of mexican food! It was really HOT, but we had a great time!
