My first visit to the Playground

Grampa and Nana took me for a walk in the neighborhood, it was a really sunny day and Grampa said it was about 56 degrees out. I kept looking up at the trees but I didn't like the sun in my eyes. We walked down to the playground at the end of the street and there were lots of kids playing on the swings and monkey bars. I even saw a little boy on a swing being pushed by his mommy. Nana and Grampa played with me for just a few minutes and then we headed back home. I fell asleep on the way back.


Grampa wanted me to go from monkey bar to monkey bar...but Nana said I was still too tiny to do that yet.

I can roll over now!

Nana and Grampa came over to watch me and I got to show them how I can roll over...be patient, I'm still new at this.

My Grampa and Me

My Grampa is a very special guy...he loves to make me smile by going "boo" at me, or blowing "raspberries" in my face, and he calls me his "Brock-a-dile Dundee". When Nana and Grampa come to my house so that Amber (my Nanny) can go to her other job, we play games and watch T.V. I love spending time with my Grampa.




My Grampa likes to make me do "Soooo Big" too!


and...Nana has Grampa lay on the floor with me to help me take a nap, but I watch my favorite TV show and Grampa falls to sleep....Nana says that I'm babysitting Grampa.

Nana and my special days together...

When Nana takes a day off from work to spend it with me, we always have so much fun. We play together, I tell Nana "stories", and she sings songs to me.


We giggle and talk and smile...and she even rocks me when I need to take a nap.


We play "Fort" in the livingroom with big pillows and blankets, and sometimes I get really tired and fall asleep.

Visit with Lori and Jeff LaBelle

Mommy and I went to Nana and Grampa's house for lunch with Nana and Grampa's best friends (YaYa and GaGa)...Lori and Jeff LaBelle travelled from their home in Holcombe, Wisconsin to visit and Nana thought that they would love to see me. I really like them and I even smiled at GaGa. After lunch, I started to get really tired so Mommy took me home.

The Next Greatest TWINS Fan

My Daddy is the Minnesota Twins Biggest Fan, it is so cool that he has collected so many bobble heads and Twins memorabilia (I think that is the biggest word I have ever thought). Mommy dressed me up in my Twins clothing that my Grandma and Grampa Lewandowski gave me and we took lots of pictures...it was so cool! Here are a few pictures that Mommy took that Day.

This is Nana's favorite picture of me; she said that Mommy should send it to the Twins and see if I can be their "Baby Twins Mascot".


Is this guy suppose to be me? We look so much alike...SAME SMILE!


Mommy loves this picture because of my piggies.

My BAPTISM Day


I was baptized on January 24, 2010 at St. Pius X Church in Zimmerman, MN by Father Kevin Anderson. Everyone showed up, Nana and Grampa, Auntie Jessie and Uncle Mike, Auntie Sabrina (my Godmother) and Uncle Scott (my Godfather), Grandma Bobbie, Grampa Joe, Uncle Chad, Auntie Denise, and even my cousins were there (Andrew, Matthew, and Jacob) After my baptism, we took lots of pictures and then headed home for lunch. Nana made slow roasted beef for open face sandwiches; everyone said it was really good, but I wouldn't know....I'm still on a liquid diet.

Mommy dressed me in an all white tuxedo and my GG (Great Grandma Roth) made me my baptism blanket, it all white and really soft. I got lots of great presents, just like Christmas. Nana and Grampa gave me my first Baby Bible; Mommy said that I can take it to church when I get older, as it has lots of little interactive stories to keep me occupied.

My First Christmas - Santa Baby


Mommy and Daddy told me that we spend Christmas Eve at Nana and Grampa Roth's house with Auntie Jessie and Uncle Mike, and then on Christmas Day we go to Grampa Joe and Grandma Bobbie's house. So on Christmas Eve we headed over to Nana and Grampa's house to celebrate, it started snowing and Mommy said that we might get 21 inches by morning and hoped that it didn't get too bad to travel home tonight. I fell asleep in the car on the way over and slept in my car seat while everyone else enjoyed appetizers and drinks for dinner.

When I woke up and after Mommy fed me, everyone took turns holding me and talking to me and oh...taking a bunch of pictures of me in my cute outfits Mommy dressed me in. We then opened up presents and since I am still so tiny, Mommy and Daddy opened mine...Nana and Grampa gave me Christmas pajamas (a tradition that my Nana had when she was a little girl), a toy and a sterling silver tree ornament with my name on it (another tradition that Nana did every year with Mommy and Auntie Jessie).

This old man showed up and he was dressed just like me (Nana and Grampa bought me this red outfit with matching hat the week before Christmas)...he kept laughing and saying HO-HO-HO, and kept asking if we were good girls and boys. Mommy put me on his lap and he gave me a toy, while Nana, Mommy, and Auntie Jessie took pictures. When he left everyone said, "Goodbye Santa!"; I guess that is his name.

Nana didn't want to play any games, she just wanted to hold me all night. She told everyone that I gave her the best gift of all this Christmas. I don't know what I did, I just looked up at her and "smiled". We didn't stay real late as the roads were getting bad and Mommy and Daddy wanted to get home safe. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!

Thanksgiving Day- One Month Old

My first family holiday. Mommy and Daddy brought me over to Nana and Grampa's house and so many people were there, Auntie Jessie, Uncle Mike, Charlie (a friend of our family for years) and Katie (a friend of Nana and Grampa).

Nana says that Thanksgiving is for family and friends and that anyone who does not have a place to go for dinner...they are welcome to join our family.

Today, I am so thankful for my family, they love me so much and I love them too.

Home Sweet Home

Grampa came over to see me the first night I came home from the hospital. He told me I was so tiny and cute...I know he is so proud to be my grampa.

Nana loves me so much, she keeps kissing my head and hands; before they left she sang me my song again. Nana didn't want to leave, but since Mommy and Daddy were so tired...Grampa made her.

My BIRTH day


I was born on November 11, 2009 at 4:52pm and weighed 6lbs 8oz and 20" long.

This is the moment I met my "Nana" and Grampa, they came to the hospital when I was only 1 hour old. I couldn't see Nana yet, but she sang me my very first song "Fuzzy Wuzzy"and told me how much she loved me. My Grampa got to hold me too, and he told me that I was his "Brock-a-dile Dundee". He kept saying "and you call that a knife?"...haven't understood that one yet, but I'm sure one day he will tell me.
