My Family

Abby - Abby is my big sister and best friend.  She is 19 months older than I am and I absolutely adore her.  From the moment I was born Abby loved me.  She wore her big sister shirt with pride!  The first time Abby met me at the hospital I was sleeping in my isolette and she thought I was a doll.  She was shocked when I stretched my arms out and made a bit of noise.  She only had baby dolls that were still - I was a whole new type of doll to her!  You will see pictures in the photo album of me and my big sister - a lot of times she dressed me up in her princess dresses and I happily let her.  I love playing with her and making her smile.  Although we are the best of friends, I do occassionally pick on her and make her mad at me.  Sometimes I will pull her piggy tails or take her dollie from her and run - and boy do I run!  But at the end of every day we hug and kiss good night - even if I have had to say sorry to her more times than mommy can count!  I call her beebee - but she really wants me to call her A bee rather than bee bee - so I am working hard on pronouncing my A's!  I love my BeeBee!

Mommy - I call my mommy Mommy or Mama and I love her so much.  I used to call her DaDa until a few months ago and she would always laugh and say I am not DaDa I am mommy - and then I would grin at her and say Hi DaDa.  She actually loved that though - she was so thrilled to hear me talking that she would answer to anything I called her.  So one day in May I walked into her room and decided to surprise her and I said "Hi Momma" - of course I melted her heart even more.  Now mommy hears her name all of the time and she does always smile - even if I am into something I am not supposed to be into.  I am very, very active - so at the end of the day when I go to bed I know Mommy is exhausted -but I also know that she says it is the best exhausted she has ever been.  I love my Mommy!

DaDa - I call my daddy DaDa and I yell it at him a lot of times to make him laugh.  DaDa is so much fun to play with - each night when he comes home from work BeeBee and I run to the door and yell surprise - and our DaDa smiles and grabs us to wrestle.  Abby and I give DaDa a great workout and together we pin him to the ground and tickle him.  We make him laugh so hard!  DaDa also greets me every morning with my morning Sippy of Rice Milk.  Each night he gets 10 sippy's of rice milk ready (he says on the runway) so that they are ready for me to start the next day.  I love my milk and I love that the second I make the littlest sound in the morning my DaDa comes running to make me happy.  He can run downstairs and back up faster than anyone I know!  Of course if he is slow to start one morning I just get louder and louder to hurry him up - ha ha ha!  DaDa also loves my mushies - before I go to bed every night he asks me for mushies - and of course I gladly hug and kiss him.  Like my Mommy, my DaDa goes to bed exhausted every night too!  Come to think of it so does Abby!  I love my DaDa!

Me-Mom - Abby calls our maternal grandma Me-Mom.  I am learning how to say Me-Mom so right now I call her ME - ME and she smiles.  I am so lucky because my Me-Mom lives only 3 miles away and I get to see her almost every single day.  Me-Mom loves to take Abby and I for walks through the neighborhood, but I have to sit in the wagon because Me-Mom would never be able to catch up to me if she let me go in the front!  When Mommy and DaDa ask me what does Me-Mom say I always say "OHHHHHHHH" - because all through the day I make Me-Mom nervous when I jump off the couch, climb on the kitchen table, jump off the top of our play slide, etc.  I am one active little boy!  Me-Mom also goes to bed tired after spending a few hours with me too!  I love my Me-Mom!

I also have so many wonderful Great Aunts, Great Uncles, Aunts and Uncles and Cousins.  I am so lucky to have a big, extended family.  I love my family!
