Pee Pee on the Potty!

January13

I’m a big girl now. Today was my third day of going pee pee on the potty. But my favorite part is I get to wear big girl underwear now! WOOHOO!! Some have hearts and some have little monkeys and some are green with a white curly doggy that mommy says is named Poodle. When I get even older than 2 my mommy says I can get the underwears at Victoria’s secret place. I don’t know who Victoria is yet, but if it is a secret place then there must be fun stuff in it!

Four Short Films About Lia

November14

There have been no videos for a long time cause my dad was having trouble getting the movies out of our camera and onto the internets. Now, because my dad is using a different program, the movies all run together. But at least there’s movies.

First, there’s a two minute movie about me doing a puzzle and then dancing to R.E.M. on Sesame Street. Next, there’s a movie about me looking in my book and then looking around the house for the things in the book. Third, me talking on my phone. The fourth movie is me eating and talking about dinner.

Halloween

November2

Lia Butterfly This weekend was Halloween. On Friday I went trick or treating with miss Brenda and my friends Josh and Kimber. Miss Brenda dressed me up as an old lady, but my mom and dad weren’t there with the camera to take pictures. My dad has one picture on his phone, but he says he can’t get that one up onto the internets.

On Saturday night, there was a party at the cafe. Mommy and daddy and Lia were all butterflies! But daddy says he was really a moth. But I think he was a butterfly.

There are lots of pictures of me in my costume here, but if you want to download the big huge printable version of the picture above, click here.

Halloween is fun, but I don’t really like eating candy so much yet. Except ems ems. I love to eat ems ems.

Sick Again

October6

I’ve got a fever again. Last year, almost to the day, I was sick. And now I’m sick again. My head hurts and I’m coughing a lot and my temperature is something like 103 degrees. My mom has been sick for three or four days now, and today is when I really got to feeling sick. My dad’s okay, so he’s taking care of us.

A Conversation with my Dad

October3

Me: “Want this! Want this!” (holding a box of Life cereal)
Me: “This a for Ia and Daddy.”
Daddy: (teasing) “Is that for Bender?”
Me: “NO! This a for Ia and Daddy.”
Daddy: (still teasing) “Is that for…”
Me: “NOO! NOT FUNNY!”

Baby Words

September8

Lia Summer 2009It’s been a long time since I’ve written here. My grammy told my dad that she missed reading stuff here about me, so he’s helping me now to write this here. I should’ve written about a lot of stuff like my new potty that I’m not really using yet or the pet mouse that my cat caught that ended up being my pet for a week. The mouse is gone now though. Mommy says the mouse went to Hawaii to visit his mommy.

So daddy says we’re gonna write about baby words. The baby words I stopped using and the baby words I still use. I don’t say “semi” any more for the number seven and I don’t say “di-mee” for the word diamond. I know the real words now. I can say “music” now – I used to call it “meek”. I don’t even say fickits anymore. I know how to say “fix it.”

But there are still a few baby words that I use. One of my dad’s favorite is “A-B-Songs”, which is what I call the alphabet song. Old MacDonald used to be my favorite song, but for the past year or so my new favorite is A-B-Songs. I also can’t say “Band Aid” yet. I need them a lot cause I’m always falling down, but I call a Band Aid “abandon”. Like this: “Mommy! Booboo! Need a bandon!”

Also, for the longest time, I’d go around saying “Sue me! Sue me!” and my mommy and daddy didn’t know what I was trying to say. Then one day while I was saying it and trying to push past another kid on the playground, my dad figured it out. I was trying to say “excuse me”. Yeah. I still say “sue me”.

There are some other words I say that my mommy and daddy think are really cute, like “beddy buddin”, but that’s most of them. Bye!

Sleep Ritual

June11

I’m in Connecticut with my mom right now, visiting my Grammy and Papa, and my dad isn’t flying out here until two more days. He says he misses me. I think that’s why he’s putting up this video of my sleep ritual that we do every night before I go to bed.

Second Birthday

May31

I’m two years old now! My dad wanted to share some videos of me opening my presents.

In the first video, I open a card and a photo from my Grammy and pepere, but my papa calls to say happy birthday and we have to stop recording and take a break. The second part is of me opening the present from my grammy and pepere. Grammy and pepere gave me watercolor paints and a Dora the explorer bath toy set . That’s what I play with when I’m in the bath now – I like taking the flippers off Dora’s feet and putting them back on. Next, I opened my present from Papa and Nana. It’s a singing flower that sings “You are my sunshine”. I love my flower. Last, I opened the present from mommy and daddy. It’s a car that races around a track. Yay birthday! Yay two!

Here are all the videos.

The Zoo

May28

Daddy and Mommy brought me to the zoo a few days ago. It was fun. My dad put up pictures that you can see by clicking here. Okay, bye!
