Sandbox....Finally

Finally, I got to play in my sandbox. I got it for my birthday. It rained and rained and the sand was wet and on and on. Mommy finally just let me play in wet sand.
It was so yummy. Mommy said we will go to the biggest sandbox in the world a lot this summer. She calls it "The Beach". I am excited.

Mommy's Present

Daddy built a house for mommy and me.
It is almost done. Mommy still can't believe it. Daddy said she could have the thid floor all to herself and make it her studio! Mom likes to draw and make quilts. She has been working on a design for the floor on our new porch. She is thinking about making and painting tiles.

The Pfeiffer boys: My uncle Chris, my pappy, dad and me. Sometimes, I get confussed because they all look alike.

Move over muppets!

My grandmom and Aunt Sissy gave me a puppet show for my birthday. Mom says I might be the next Jim Henson (Her hero) ! We have been making up stories about mermaids and fairies. We are working on our Punch and Judy skits.

Happy Birthday to ME!

Wow! I turned one today. Boy, what a day. There were balloons and tons of people came and sang me a song. I got to eat really sweet cake and play all day.
Auntie Lissa got me my very own Dora car. It's pretty awesome. I can play pinball while I drive.
Ms. Yvonne came over and played with me. I love me some Ms. Yvonne.
My Godmother Anna came too. She brought me toys to play with in the sand, and some good 'ol fashion lovin. I love her glasses.

Andrew and Mia came too. We all played with my new toys. All in all there must have been 30 plus people that came just to sing me a song. Nana and I practiced all week blowing out my candle but I wanted to touch the pretty flame more than blow it out so mommy blew my candle out. Good thing, because next we got to eat the cake mommy made for me.

At the end of my party, some of mommy's friends and Daddy gave me a bath with my new bath toys to get all of the cake out of my hair.

May 23rd

Mommy keeps telling me I am going to be one tomorrow. She makes it sound so exciting. I can't wait to be one.
Daddy says the girls and Cosmo are preparing a special song for me. It sounds pretty good so far.

Nana and Pappy came down to love on me.
Nana let me help her cook. I love to hang out in the kitchen while she cooks.
I love playing in my very own cupboard!

Happy Mother's Day

Daddy and I took Mom and Grandmom out to lunch for Mother's Day. Mom got this flower from our waitress. It tasted pretty good.
Grandmom and I played out side on Mother's day. I showed her how to eat fish.

My First Easter

My first Easter was a success. I went to Church. I hunted for eggs that a bunny laid. Interesting! Eggs from bunnies are more colorful than regular eggs, and well the color spreads...everywhere. I ate a whole bunch. Yum, Grandma knows how to cook a meal. I had turkey, bread, potatoes, pie, eggs, vegetables and water. I was pretty stuffed and ready to sleep. I fell asleep at grandma's in Greenville, and woke up later almost in Charleston. So far I have learned that holidays equal eating. Fabulous!

Spring Break

Mama has been singing about Spring....apparently this has something to do with daily walks in the park and setting me in grass while she flies remote control dragonflies. Mom hasn't mastered the dragonfly. Let's see, she has had to rescue it from tress, crash landings, and oh a couple of near loss launches. Dad got mom the dragonfly for her birthday. I think he likes to watch her fly it...don't tell mom but dad is a better dragonfly flier.

Sammy and I and the Sandbox

Oh, I have to get one of these. I LOVE the sandbox...I wanted to stay all day and play with Sammy and Alex. I can't wait for the beach! I think Sammy may have the coolest sandbox ever and all of the super fun toys that go with it. I liked to watch the sand go through my fingers. Have any of you guys ever played with this stuff. It is so neat!

My New Friend

MaMa's old roommate at Winthrop University, Heather, stopped by for a visit. She brought her daughter, Echo over so we could play. It was so fun. I love playing with new friends. Especially ones my size!

Valentine's Day

Today, I learned about balloons. Mama always says gravity wins, but not when it comes to these things. Balloons are really neat. When Daddy and I were driving down the road, mine escaped right out of the window. Fascinating. Really!

Go Steelers!

Thanks Uncle Chris and Uncle Kenny! I love my Steelers garb! When I put on my Jersey the boys suddenly scored 18 points, but then I HAD to go to bed. WhenI woke up they next morning I learned they lost! Daddy said I am a good luck charm. I wish mommy would have let me stay up to watch the rest of the game. I tried to tell her I was crying because I was happy but mommy can be sooooo stubborn.

Whoa! I love to travel. I flew in my first airplane, loved it. My daddy is from Pittsburgh, so we went there for Christmas. We spent ten days there. It was so much fun. I met so many wonderful people and did lots of fun stuff. Mommy and daddy went and surprised Uncle Chris at work and then they went to the Andy Warhol museum. They talked about their experience for a long time because they both loved some crazy artist guy that made giants. While mommy and daddy were away, grandma and I had so much fun. We sang, and I worked real hard on crawling. Grandma is so patient. When mommy and daddy came home they played their Wii. That was mommy's early Christmas present from daddy. They love the Wii.




Grandma had a big dinner at her house on Christmas Eve. There were 17 people there. It was exciting! Daddy fed me his mashed potatoes that Aunt Cathy made. They were delicious. And when no one was looking, I tried a little of this and a little of that. That was my first time eating adult food. I was surprised when mommy let daddy feed me food other then the kind that comes in the plastic containers. She usually tells everyone, "No" when they ask if I can have something, but she let daddy feed me whatever he wanted to feed me. I think I ate some stuffing, too. Later Santa came. I liked his candy Canes.

Pappy got a digital camera Christmas morning! He took most of the pictures from then on out. Mommy doesn't have very many pictures of me on Christmas morning. But pappy does, over 50! My first Christmas was a success. It was fun and I got so many nice presents. I got my very own basketball hoop. It happens to be in the shape of a tiger. I am working on shooting hoops. I've scored a couple of points. Yeah, I'm a pro. I hung out with Pappy's sister and her family the day after Christmas. Again daddy has the nicest family. Everyone is wonderful and so nice. I met my cousin and her daughters. They are 2 years old and 5 months old.

Daddy and Uncle Chris fried a turkey for Christmas Dinner. It was tasty!

Later in the week a bunch of us went to Carnegie History Museum. We saw these giant lizards...huge...as big as a house. I hope I never run into one of those in real life. For some reason they were very still. Maybe they were hoping we would not notice them. Mommy and I looked at some quilts there too. Mommy said that she was going to finish her quilts one of these days. Mommy and daddy went to Clarion University. That is were daddy went to college. They ate at a cafe there. Daddy told mommy all kinds of stories. Daddy said he had to protect me from guys like him and his friends.

Daddy is so silly; I think he is a great guy. And I like daddy's friends too. Daddy's friend Scott had a get together. It was very nice. Daddy got to catch up and hang out. Mommy forgot her camera, but she does have a picture with all of daddy's friends in it. Daddy always tells mommy stories about daddy's friends. Mommy says I have to wear earmuffs when he tells those stories and I am in the room. I don't know why. It is not cold.

It was sadly; finally time to go and we packed up the car and drove home. It only took 11 hours. I slept through most of that. So did Igloo and Q ball.

15 days until Christmas!

Mommy and Daddy went to their Christmas Party! It was their first time going out at night without me! I had fun at my babysitters house. Mommy and Daddy teach at the same school with daddy's best friend Keith. That's Lisa, mommy says Lisa knows more about football then any guy. I think the boys are jealous.
I love to make mommy laugh. I just start laughing and she starts to laugh! We go on and on.

Grandma D got me my very own Christmas Tree. It even has an angel theme. I am going to start to collect angel and fairy ornaments for my tree.

Uncle Keith and Aunt Lisa came over and brought me a funny pink pig. I told uncle Keith stories most of the night.

Mommy tried to convince Daddy that they needed a family picture for their Christmas Card but Daddy wasn't having it. So instead mommy got my Godmother Anna to come over and she was happy to play dress up for the camera. Mommy hasn't quite figured out the timer. Sometimes it takes one picture...sometimes it takes 3. Oh well, I can't possibly be still for pictures. Whose got time.
That's me behind daddy!

Aunt Sissy (mommy's sister) and I play!
