Happy Tuesday #46

Hi everyone,

My first Valentine's Day was great fun. Mommy and I went out together and on a whim we got my pictures taken. It was lots of unexpected fun. During the shoot I was so relaxed; no performance anxiety to be found. I was barefoot, carefree, and the smiles kept coming. So here it is. A belated Valentine for you.

Will you be mine?

Love,

CK

Happy Tuesday #45

Hi everyone,

One of my favorite toys is my ride-on lion. I don't ride it much yet, but I sure like pushing it. Besides being cute and making cool noises, my lion is teaching me valuable life lessons. Yesterday, just as I really got moving with my lion, I ran into an obstacle. At first I didn't know what to do. But instead of giving up, I came up with a solution and continued on my journey. Problem solved. Lesson learned. No bunny's gonna break my stride.

Don't let a problem get the best of you this week...especially if it's roadkill.

Love,

CK

Happy Tuesday #44

Hi everyone,

If there is one thing I've learned during my eleven months, it's that life moves very fast. Mommy and daddy are very busy doing house chores, working at MasterCard, and doing homework. While it's good to have a strong sense of responsibility, it's also important to kick back and take it easy. When I want to take it easy, I know just what to do. I find a chair that's just my size.

Take it easy in your favorite chair this week.

Love,
CK

Happy Tuesday #43

Hi everyone,

My cousin Luke is a good friend to me. He calls me "baby" and smiles when he sees me. Sometimes we eat lunch together and it's always a good time. We laugh (he always gets my jokes), we make funny faces, and we even enjoy the same foods. One day last week we had a cheerios eating contest. I didn't think I had a chance, but while he mugged it up for the camera, I took him down. Better luck next time cuz.

Have some fun with a good friend this week.

Love,
CK

Happy Tuesday #42

Hi everyone,

Now that I'm eating almost all table food, and almost one year old, I'm ready to go up a size in my clothes. So over the weekend, mommy went through my closet to see which of my clothes still fit and which are too small. I thought it was real fun cause I got to try on some crazy outfits, like red pants with a light purple and green polka dot top, and brown pants with a pastel lion sweater.

As mommy and I sorted through my clothes, I thought back on some of my fashion choices during my first year. Overall, I think I did pretty well for a baby. I took some risks and most of them paid off. But my fashion sense wasn't always right on. I look back on some of my choices and wonder... what was I thinking?

Put on something crazy this week.

Love,
CK

Happy Tuesday #41

Hi everyone,

Lately I've been doing a lot of exploring. It's my most favorite thing right now and I'm pretty good at it. Sometimes as I make my way from room to room, I like to pretend I'm Ferdinand Magellan traveling around the globe. There are so many new adventures and discoveries, but I can't understand why mommy isn't more excited. Doesn't she know how close I am to finding a lost civilization in our pantry? Grown-ups. I'll never understand them.

Explore something new this week. You never know what you might discover.

Love,
CK

P.S. I miss you daddy!

Happy Tuesday #40

Hi everyone,

I've heard it's a baby's prerogative to change her mood. Now mommy says I'm a good baby most of the time, but even she will admit I have days where I mope around the house with a fussy face. I know I shouldn't fuss because I have toys to play with, food to eat, clothes to wear (and get dirty), and so on. But there's just something cleansing about a good cry. I guess I'm not the only one who thinks so. Mommy sure has her hands full.

Get a little fussy this week.

Love,

CK
