Hotwheels are the best!

I have discovered my brother Joshua's race track. It is the greatest thing ever.

WHY I BLOG

To tell you the truth, I blog because I am humble. This may sound funny to some, but to those of you who know me well, you know this is true. The fact is, I was noticing that I was pretty much taking over my family's blog and I thought to myself, "This just isn't right." My mom was out of control, posting this picture and that video and they were all of me! How fair is that? But to be fair to all, there will be plenty of me on this blog.

Just so you know, nobody accused me of being a family blog hog. I came to this conclusion on my own. So, like I just said, don't count on seeing me too often on my family blog - on that blog I'll go back to where I am most comfortable - just tagging along, grabbing discarded toys, and thrilled to be thrown a crumb now and then. But I am a blogger. This you will see.

4 other reasons I blog: I thought about my lovely sister, Anna, who does nothing but serve me day and night and here I am taking her spotlight again. She sings to me, she writes books about me, she even changes my diapers. Then there is my cool brother, Josh, who has made it his mission to teach me how to be a man. And what a fine specimen of a man he is. I was taking away precious photo space that could have been his and his alone. Not to mention my twin sisters, I mean CLAIRE and ELIZA (I mustn't lump them - they are two separate and distinct human beings) who have had to share since the minute they arrived. Not to mention all I owe to Eliza for teaching me the finer art of walking.

The final reason is because of my Dad. He has always said I was brilliant and that I was destined to do something smart-like based on my genius I.Q. (Yes, they already had me tested and I take courses at Sylvan, as well.)So, Dad, here's to you. I'm a blogger. Bloggers are smart-like.

Please feel free to comment on my photographs and thoughts anytime.

More Attack Footage

My first film, "Attack of the Luke" was originally posted on my family's blog. You won't want to miss that one.

My View on Things

I thought I should post this picture being that this has been my view for approximately 1/2 of my life - 12 hrs. a day. It is not a fantastic view, but interesting. I can see my sister Anna's top bunk and once in a while she surprises me and peeks over to talk to me (only when I am not supposed to be sleeping, of course). The fan is quite fascinating although it is hardly ever on. The mesh you see on the right of the picture is my crib tent. It has not yet been zipped but I suppose my mom wants to be prepared for when I make my debut climb down from Mt. Crib.

My latest "communinication" is when I am tired I lay down on the floor with my hands by my hips and wiggle like a fish. Mom used to laugh when I did that, but then she finally clued in. I want to go to bed! She seemed happy enough about that, as well. I think she thinks that I am such a cutie.

The Inside View

Here is a picture of my other view (1/2 my life) but the view is not important. I don't even care about dinosaurs or polka-dots, what matters is my SILKY!!!!!!! It is so beautiful, so precious, so dear to me. It is that little tiny blanket that has stars on it. I LOVE it so much - almost as much as mom.

Note from mom: I love Luke's silky as well. It has brought much peace and happiness to our lives. As well as much strife when missing.

More on my views....

There also is a gargantuan picture of my mom when she was little that hangs right above my bed. Not sure why that picture is hung there - I think it would look best in the living room - front and center. But it's good for saying, "Night-night" to. Every night when my Dad puts me to bed, he holds me up to this picture and says, "Goodnight Girl!" and I smile really big.

Funny how some things never change - she is still chubby, still wears those dresses that are made out of tablecloths, and she still tries to flip her hair. Very interesting Ma. Can we say stuck in the 70's?!
