I've Been A Very Good Girl

I always go to bed when I'm supposed to... (*unless I'm not sleepy)
I always eat what Mommy makes... (*unless it tastes yucky)
I never cry to get what I want... (*unless it's really important)
I never pull the kitties' fur or terrorize them (*unless they're stupid enough to come near me)

Yes, I've been very good this year, Santa. I even sat on your lap without crying (*until I was done, that is! -which was exactly 30 seconds after this picture was taken).




Please forgive the weird blue strip on the right side. Our scanner is pretty old, and it seems to do this every once in a while.

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a great holiday at Uncle Mike's house. They were good hosts, and we watched lots of football and ate lots of good food, compliments of Grandma Sharon. The next day we went up to Paradise and had a family gathering with Grandma Penny and all of Mommy's brothers and sisters (except for Uncle Robert who lives in TN w/his family). We met at a local restaurant and everyone got to eat what they wanted; yum!!



Hanging out with cousin, Casey.

Daisy loves Chinese food!

Kissing Grandpa Mike.



Being held by Tyler.



Looking up from Mommy's leg.

The next post will have Daisy's first picture with Santa. She met him at the mall yesterday, and much to her credit, she did not cry for a full 2 minutes. I think the beard had her entranced for a second.

The Latest From the Camera

These are all the new pics I have downloaded. Enjoy!

Daisy's Hat

As promised... here's the little girl in her winter hat.

Daisy the Movie Star

I took this video with my digital camera tonight. You'll need Adobe Flash Player to view it (if you're having problems playing it, go here and download the latest update).



I had planned to follow up this video with one of her in the cutest little snuggly hat you ever saw... but it's getting late (*hey 9pm IS late for sleep-deprived moms!) and downloading the first video took about a half hour.

So perhaps tomorrow!
Till then...

Halloween, Etc.

Sorry for the lack of updates...
Let's start with Halloween:


Mommy is the gardener, and Daisy is her blossom.



I don't care if the tag *did* say "Sunflower," she looks like a little Daisy to me!



At Mommy's school, some students decided to dress up as teachers. Here's Mrs. Surla's Mini Me, complete with Baby Bjorn carrier.



Daisy's very excited about the basketball season starting. Here she is in her Sacramento King's onesie.



Daisy's reaction to the question: "Do you think the Kings will make the playoffs this year?"


She sleeps in her own crib every single night now... and she's down to waking up only once to nurse (*which is pretty good for a baby who has trained herself to eat at night when she's home with Mommy). She is so darn close to crawling- she scoots her knees up next to her tummy and rocks back and forth, but then she sort of collapses from there.

It won't be long until she's getting into everything, I know. Can you believe she's more than 7 months old already?
