Month: December 2009

Mommy, Uncle Matt and I went to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh on the way to take Unlce Matt to the hotel for his early flight back to California. I LOVED the dinosaur bones.

I could name most of the dinos.

This is a room where they clean fossils and learn all about them.

They had interactive displays to learn all about each dino.

Stegosaurus! It was HUGE!

The long neck was cool!

I was so happy to see so many bones all in one place!

Telling Mommy all about them! 🙂

This was a protoceratops. It was the size of a house dog. I kept insisting that they put the wrong skull on it!

Not very happy here. I was terrifyed that the T-Rex would come to life and eat me!!!

Different types of ceratops… who knew there were some many types!

Can you say pachycephalosaurs? By far this is one of my favorite dinosaurs! 🙂

Mommy was convinced she saw them move!

A huge triceratops!

This was a fossil of a baby oviraptor. I was really sad because I found out it wouldn’t never hatch. I wanted a baby dinosaur!

The remains of the largest ever turtle found. It was about 15 feet high!!!!

Digging for bones!

This is hard work. I think I need to rethink my future career!

Here is what the dig site looks like… I only uncovered a millimeter of bone!

Learning about snakes of Pennsylvania with Uncle Matt.

Cool dinos!

I was in love with the dinosaur bones. I talked about them all day and the next too!

Making a story on the magnet board!

What a fun day! I really liked having Uncle Matt there with us! 🙂 I even ate lunch without complaining! 🙂

I have found a new show that I love. It is called Hamptaro! It is a Japanese animations kids cartoon all about super hero hamsters! There is a song at the opening and ending credits that just makes me get up and DANCE! I have this crazy little dance. So silly.

There was a pile of gifts from the family.

And a separate pile that Santa left!!!!

First thing I had to check was that the snacks I left Santa were gone. The reindeer at all the carrots except one bite! I wonder if they had a crunchy carrot contest?? Santa took a bite of each cookie… i bet he liked mine best! He also drank the hot chocolate.

I got the pillow pet I asked for! I was so excited! I have been wanting it forever!

Also, Santa got my last minute letter under the tree asking for a Zhu Zhu pet. I for a really cute one 🙂

Oh yeah I also really wanted a two headed dragon!

Learning the funny noises the pet makes.

Just what I always wanted… a pet dog!

Just what I always wanted… a vet center!

Just what I always wanted… a mini race car!

Just what I always wanted… CRYSTALS!

Racing out new mini racers. They are really fun. The only drawback is that the wheels pop off very easily and there is a little almost clear gear that keeps vanishing. Mommy is good at snapping the wheels back on rather quickly. The instructions even tell you how.

Vroom Vroom!

Merry Christmas!!!

I made some really neat art pictures with my stickers. I told Mommy I am now an “Illustrator”.

Enjoying some snuggle time and books before bed.

One last story from Grandma Susie… Twas the Night Before Christmas.

Hugs all around… even from Emmerson! I get sad when he doesn’t hug or kiss me now. I love my little Emmer-Bemmer!

Last minute note asking Santa for a Zhu Zhu pet. I left him the cookies Emmerson and I made, hot chocolate and a cup of carrots for the reindeer. After all, Blitzen bites because he is teething and needs a cold carrot to gnaw on.

All the stash for Santa.

My treat after Emmerson got tucked in was to sit up a bit longer and light the candles and watch the angels with trumpets fly around and ding the bells. I was totally fascinated by this.

Listening to the pretty sounds.

Time for bed. Good night and please hurry Santa! 🙂

We played Candyland at the Mill Creek Park art place. Uncle Matt turned into a cookie!!!

I played in the little candy houses.

And became a cookie too! 🙂

Then Uncle Matt made me into an upside down cookie!!!

More houses to explore.

Sorting fruit with Emmerson.. I lost interest immediately.

I liked moving around the huge game pieces. Except my attention span was not long enough to use the same game piece for the 2 minutes game!

Eventually I won. Never mind that I was really the only one playing!!

When we got home I got to play in the front yard one last time. Rain was coming tonight and the snow was to be gone by morning .

I was filling the sled with snow to make deer soup!

I convinced Uncle Matt to drag me around for a while too… GO HORSIE!!!
