Christmas Morning

Well, my first Christmas has come and gone! It was so much fun! There was so much activity at Grandma and Grandpa's house. I have some great pictures to show you:











This is all of us on the stairs before going down to see the presents and stockings (an O'Mara family tradition!).

Here I am opening my presents. I loved pulling off the bows!

...and wearing them too!


Grandma and me!





Do you like my Christmas outfit?

I didn't stay in it long, though. I guess you could say I had a diaper problem...

I was so exhausted after all the excitement...I couldn't stay awake. Christmas morning really takes a lot out of you!

I hear I have another Christmas celebration to go too! I'll be going to Grandmom and Granddad's house on Sunday to open more presents. I can't believe it...everyone is so generous! I get to meet some great aunts and great uncles and more cousins!

I hope you all had a great Christmas! Happy New Year!!

Merry Christmas

My first Christmas is approaching quickly! Mommy has been busy shopping and wrapping presents to get ready. We leave on Monday night to go to Grandma and Grandpa's house so we can be there on Christmas morning. Mommy and Daddy got a Christmas tree and have it decorated with lots of pretty lights and ornaments. I love looking at the lights! Here is a picture of our tree:

Mommy and Daddy took some pictures of me for Christmas too. You may have seen these already, but I wanted to put them on my blog. I'll show you more pictures of me after Christmas. I'll try to get some pictures of me opening my presents.

Go Terps!

Mommy told me that basketball season is in full-swing. I'm not sure what that means, but Mommy is very happy about it. She says her favorite team is the University of Maryland, so I guess that's my favorite team too (Daddy likes Syracuse, but I think I'll cheer for Maryland...don't tell him, though!). I like watching soccer and football (I hear the Eagles beat the Cowboys...yay!) so I'm sure basketball will be fun. Mommy put me in my UMD outfit today. I can't wait to watch a game...GO TERPS!

The Newest Thing

I just love laying on my back. Mommy always tries to put me on my belly for tummy time, and I just don't like it! It's okay for a few minutes, but I'd just rather lay on my back. Well, today I showed her...She put me on my belly and I rolled over to my back! Then she put me on my belly again and I rolled to my back again! The third time I even rolled the other way to get on my back! It was great! I haven't figured out how to roll back to my belly again, but that's okay...I'm more comfortable on my back. Plus, I can see what's going on better when I'm laying that way.

Mommy got some pictures of me in the act:

Something New!

I haven't been able to get on the computer for awhile because I've been sick. Don't worry, it's just a cold...Mommy took me to the doctor yesterday, and he said everything was fine. I feel a lot better today. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I did, and I had fun shopping last Friday with Mommy, Grandmom and Aunt Patti. The mall was really crowded! I hear there's another holiday coming up...Christmas! That sounds really fun! I get to spend Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa.

Last night I went to visit my friend Gianna and she let me borrow her Bumbo seat. I'm not quite ready for it yet, but Mommy let me try it anyway. I'm sure I'll be using it a lot soon!
