Whew, what a busy month in the life of a toddler. Things got so busy that I needed to learn to run, and say a few words, just to keep up, my official first word 'banana'. Early in the month we brought some of the snow we had seen in Chicago back home with us, it was nice to get into the cold white stuff again, but after the first time that I got really wet and cold Mom rushed out and got me some more 'appropriate clothes' (not so much fun). My girlfriend Keegan had a birthday this month, she got a lot of stuff and she let me help open some of it with her, which was very cool. We took our annual family pilgrimage to the Christmas tree down on the DC mall, the weather has been very warm recently so it was nice to get out and get some fresh air. The tree was very ornate and bright but the traffic and parking sucked (or so Dad said) and by the time we got to the tree I was really tired. On Christmas Eve we went down to the DC zoo to see some of the animals. It was a great time to go because there weren't too many other people and the animals seemed to put on more of a show for us. Christmas day was a lot of fun, we went to see the Wills Family and Aiden helped me to open some of my gifts, we all had a really nice and relaxing time. I'd like to say that I saw in the New Year singing 'Auld Lang Syne' with a glass of champagne in one hand and a young woman in the other, but alas I was asleep by 7:30 and besides I haven't learnt how to lie........yet.
