Happy Christmas

Merry Christmas Everyone.
Hope Santa was as good to you as he was to me.
No third thumb, sadly, but I wasn't really sure of where I'd put it anyway.
Thanks to all of you for making my first xmas really special.

Uma and the Fat Man

Merry Xmas eve-eve!
I had a wonderful day, hope you did too.
I spent the morning with Nanaji and Nanima, playing, rolling and learning about the Grinch (a most unpleasant fellow, I assure you).
During the afternoon I was with Varma Auntie and Uncle while Mommy and Daddy feasted on homemade dosas.
At the same time I learned Meerauntie's secret: she can cook! Quick, shout it from your cribs, tell your neighbors, it's true!

After lunch, Mommy, Daddy and I went with Meerauntie to see Santa. Apparently he lives near Meerauntie, which makes her a good Meerauntie for a girl to know.
Impressions: Fat, Soft, Happy, Hairy, Near-sighted. All in all okey-dokey.

Evidence of our first meeting is posted herewith. I plan on using this image in the future to demonstrate that I indeed paid early homage to the fatty, which should easily earn me a pony by age 10.
He was kind enough to ask me what I wanted for xmas.
All I want for xmas is a third thumb to suck. My arms are getting tired.

For Whom the Bell Tolls...

A word to the wise, and unwise.
Jingle bells can bite back. Perhaps in response to my prior claims regarding my bell-eating ability, I was attacked by said bells on this past Wednesday.
I was minding my own business, eating my bell, when my lip became firmly stuck in the opening.
I was rescued immediately by Mommy (my hero!), with no visible or lasting effects.

Beware the bells! Beware!

Cheers!

Happy Holidays, everyone.
Today's a big baby travel day... headed to cleveland for xmas.
I had my first sippy cup today, and i liked what i tasted. not to mention that pear juice really gets things moving down below. Mommy and Daddy are going to have fun with the next diaper change! Presents for everyone!

Time for me to pack!
Talk to you all from cleveburgh...

Ice, Ice Baby

here's a good shot of my new earring from meerauntie.
by popular demand.
give the people what they want, i always say (if i could talk).

Global Warming

Only nine days until xmas, and my first Minneapolis winter has been a piece of cake. It was sunny and 54 degrees today, and Mom and I enjoyed a nice time on the veranda.
I've moved from simple push-ups to inconsistent scooting forward and back. Giving Mom and Dad plenty of time to ready the house for the new mobile me.
New earrings for today, courtesy of Meerauntie.
Uma will now refer to herself in the third person, as Uma does love her bling.
Uma's going to eat dinner now, and there aint no stopping Uma when it comes to peas and carrots.

Only the Strong Survive

Here's a photo of my first push-up. I've found it is important to exhale on the effort.
With any luck, i'll be crawling soon, and doing these one-handed.
I went to music class today, played a drum and ate some bells. I am just short of being a virtuoso bell-eating machine.
I'm getting excited for xmas, and will write soon.

Mobile time

I recently learned that I can turn my mobile on. It is quite fun. I can turn it on any time I want, even in the middle of the night when Mommy and Daddy are sleeping. I love to watch Travis Hafner (the donkey), Moo Cow (the cow), and Herbert (the sheep) dance above me with the music. Soon I will bring them down to play with me, but for now I like to talk to them while they dance around.

My role model

Orange is my color (Post One of Many)

Hi everyone, and welcome to my blog.
This endeavor began because "blog" was in fact my first word. or it may have been "burlap" or "blowwfffmm". but i digress.
I wanted you all to know that my current favorite food is carrots.
Mommy hooked me up with some choice orange today, and i'm very excited about the whole thing.
I must be going, as i am currently not wearing any pants (carrot-fueled explosion!)
Much love to you all.
