I Give Thanks!!!! Happy Thanksgiving...

Today I celebrated my first Thanksgiving and that means that it is only a few short weeks until I turn one on Christmas Day! Can you believe it!!!!

I remember Thanksgiving last year in my mommy's belly. I was getting big and cramped in there so when she ate all that food, I made sure to let her know I didn't appreciate it! I think we all my have enjoyed this Thanksgiving Day feast a bit more...

The day started with me hanging out with my mommy and daddy. We then took an adventure to my Grandma and Grandpa's house in Carson City where my Grammie and NoNo came to visit along with family friends Keith, Jolynn, Lyndsey, Jake and Nita. We watched a lot of football...Go Cowboys! My grandpa cooked a massive beast in a big black pot. It took two of them to get the beast in the pot. The turkey went in very pale and came out a nice golden brown. I was very amazed with this whole process. With the turkey we had ham, green beans, yams, rolls, peas, corn, cranberries, salad and stuffing. As you can see from my picture, I had a nice helping of everything. It was sooooooo yummy! I wasn't able to have any dessert because I was napping when that part came around, but I was happy to be at the table enjoying Thanksgiving dinner.

That night I had my 'Tom Turkey' My Firtst Thanksgiving PJ's on. I was very tired from visiting, eating and playing all day long.

When my mommy and daddy put me snuggly in my bed they said they were thankful for me, but really, I must admit that I'm thankful for them and all my family that loves me so very much and takes such great care of me!

JDR for President...The Best Choice for Babies Everywhere!

Not only am I in a college setting at the tender age of 10 months, but I have decided to run for President of the United States in 2008!!!

JDR has a nice ring to it if you ask me.

As you can see I'm starting my campaign early. I'm wearing bibs to announce my candidacy and I'm meeting with my constitutes. Giving out lots of 'High 5's', 'Kissies', waving 'Bye, Bye', and clapping my hands, a real crowd pleaser.

You might be asking yourself what are the main points of 'JDR in 2008':

First, the right for all babies big or small to put what they want in their mouth with no consequence.

If I'm elected not only will there be more snacking on whatever the heck we want edible or not, but I promise that never again

will we have to eat mashed up food from a jar especially anything that was beef, poultry, or fish before entering the jar. No longer will babies have a nap time or receive any food that isn't the perfect temperature. Never will we have to share a favorite toy and drooling will be open season. If I'm elected we will finally be free to wear our drool loud and proud without fear of mommy's and daddy's following closely behind to wipe it up or change our shirts. Last but not least I will do away completely with any diaper that isn't manufactured to immediatly absorb any and all waste. Of course this would include the cloth diaper!

As you can see I'm the best choice for babies everywhere!!!

Say it with me people JDR, JDR, JDR!!!!

This advertisement was paid for by the mother of JDR. Any views and opinions expressed in this ad are truly that of a woman who some would say has too much time on her hands, and way to much of an imagination. Bibs for JDR 2008 can be found in Washington D.C. where mother of JDR was just attending a conference and picked up the 'Future President' bib. Note to constitutes that high5's, kissies, waving bye, by and/or clapping may or may not happen when you meet JDR. Don't take it personal.

I Think I Can...I Think I Can...I Think I Can

Here is me with my favorite new toy...choo, choo!
It is an early birthday present from my NoNo. My daddy brought it home and as you can see from the picture I'm quite smitten. I can sit and rock in my choo, choo or it is the perfect height for me to practice standing and walking. I really like to bite the stack of Choo, Choo... I insisted on having it my room when I went to bed so I could see if from my crib.
I love my Little Engine that Could!

~ On a recent visit to Wal Mart my daddy loaned me the money to buy some Star Wars guys. Upon returning home and finding no bucks in my wallet, here is my response to my daddy. 'Daddy, I don't know where my bucks went. Maybe the 'Buck Man' came and took them?' ~

~Grandma is sad about Bonnie dog, we should share one of our doggies with her.~

~I arrived at school the other day to find my buddy Matt waiting for me. As I walked through the door he told me that we 'needed to have a chat.' He didn't appreciate the way I had treated him the day before and he wasn't going to stand for it. I told him I was sorry and asked if we were still friends? Matt said yes and then handed me a monter truck to play with. Yahoo for conflict resolution little boy style. ~

~Staring at my mommy's belly I asked her why her tummy didn't have a window like a house, so the baby can look out and I can see in. I'm dying to see my baby brother!~

~Shopping with my parents at Home Depot my daddy picked up these sticks, he informed me they are for stirring paint. My daddy asked me what else we could use them for, and I replied without missing a beat, 'Spanking our puppies on their bottoms.' Ouch!~

~ Conversation while my lunch was being prepared: Daddy, how does God make us? How does he put our arms on? Maybe he staples them. That might hurt!~

~ Shortly after finding out that I would be a big brother, I asked my mommy if there were toys in her tummy for the baby to play with. When she said no, I was puzzled. What is it doing in there, if there are no toys?
I then had to ask if there was at least a table in my mommy's tummy so the baby could eat. Again, she told me no. I was very alarmed that my baby 'someone' had no toys or a table. How do they eat? I asked my mommy. Still don't understand what she is talking about when she says the word placenta. ~

~After attending his first circus with Daddy, Jacob came home and quickly announced to me: 'Mommy, I'm not a big fan of clowns either, we can be twins!'~

~'Mommy, I don't want you to leave me with anyone when you and daddy go to a movie.' 'Nobody Jake.' 'No, nobody mommy except maybe the Wolf Pack Cheerleaders! I like it when they dance.' (I can't make this stuff up!)~

~ After a snow storm me my mommy and I were driving to school, past a lot of pine trees. I asked my mommy why all the trees were decorated for Christmas. ~

~ My mommy asked me if I wanted to be a big brother or sister (I have a lot of kids at school who are becoming such things) in the car this morning, and I said yes. Then she asked if I wanted to be a big brother to a girl or boy and I said boy (shocking). I paused for about 1 minute then I told my mommy that rather than being a big brother I wanted to be a Dragon Warrior. Thank goodness I'm an only child. ~

~My mommy said something insane at the dinner table the other night. I don't even know what it was and I just had to look over at her and ask her 'Where do you come up with this stuff?' ~

~ That was quite a Super Bowl!~

~Driving home from school the other night I informed my mommy that I had my eye on her by announcing, 'I have my eye on you!' ~

~After popping a red jelly bean in my mouth I got a very strange look on my face and announced to my mommy, 'This one is a little bit spicy.' While I had my thumb and pointer finger demonstrating 'little bit'. I then ran to the bathroom to spit it out. Guess I don't care much for cinnammon~

~My mommy and daddy were tucking me into bed tonight, and my mommy insisted on tucking me in...I told her: 'I know how to do it mommy, I'm a big boy!' ~

~Christmas Eve:
Jacob: 'What was that?'
Mommy: 'What?'
J: 'What was that noise?'
M: 'I don't know, but I don't think I heard anything.'
J: 'It must be SANTA!'

~Daddy, There is a Storm in my Room!!!~ Said in the middle of the night as the wind howled outside.

~ 'We can Dance if we Want TOOOOOO! ~ Sung in tune to the Men Without Hats song...you know the one. There is also a dance that goes with this.

~ As my mommy and I drove home we saw flashing lights and heard sirens of a fire truck coming towards us.
Mommy: 'Jake do you see the fire truck?'
Jake: 'Yes, and I hear the siren.'
M: 'Looks like there are two fire trucks.'
J: 'Well actually mommy the second one is an ambulance.'
M: 'You are right it is a fire truck and ambulance.'
J: 'Yep, there must have been an accident.'~
