This is my bubba.
This is my mamie.

This is my dad and my bubba.

















They shaved their beards off together one night cause my mom asked my bubba to do it cause he hadn't shaved his beard off in over 40 years and she thought it'd be fun to see what he looks like clean shaven. Bubba begrudgingly did it but I think in the end he had fun. Mom also informed my Dad that he was shaving his beard off along with Bubba and didn't really even ask him but more like just told him that he was doing it. But my dad doesn't care, he'll do anything for my mom. He's crazy about her. Or maybe just plain crazy.

This is a shot of me that my mom took. I'm in my room at home looking out the french doors to the back deck. You can see in this shot I'm holding onto my diaper pail and I've been doing this for awhile, pulling myself up and standing, and cruising around and stuff. But now I've started standing on my own without holding onto anything. Today I stood for about a minute on my own when I was with my dad and my Uncle Brant. My dad was impressed. But I could fart and my dad would be impressed. It doesn't take much to make him happy. He just sees me sometimes and gets so happy. He's an "easy mark" is what I call him.

A sleigh ride! A sleigh ride! We're going on a sleigh ride!

Okay, the sleigh ride didn't work - me and Lola were too heavy, the rope is too short, my mom is too weak and a pussy about the cold and my Dad is too scared to get hit by a snowball cause he's also a pussy and throws a snowball like a girl and Aunt Natasha is too worried about Cosmo getting hit by a car. No one will remember it this way but it's the way it went down. Bananagrams anyone?

This is my snowflake hat. Aunt Natasha gave it to me to wear while I'm in Canada.

Did you know there are no two snowflakes alike? Each one is unique. That's true, I heard a scientist say it yesterday on NPR. They were talking about how the ice caps are melting and that polar bears are running out of ice flows to live on and how they're deciding that polar bears should be put on the endangered list soon. Global warming. I'm warm right now in my hat.

This year is my first Christmas. I'm going to visit my mommy's family in Canada. There will be snow there and a Christmas tree and lots of presents and many conversations about what meals we're having and who's in charge of making them. I'm very excited. I tried on my Christmas day outfit today and I have to admit I look awfully cute in it.

The one thing I don't like is pineapple.
So I will share my ride with it
but don't make me eat it.

These are my good friends Rick Bland and Rachel Hamilton.
They came to visit me for a few days in December. This is a picture of us when we went to Griffith park for a walk. It was my first time to visit the park since the big fire closed it to the public in the summer. I love Rick and Rachel. They played with me on campus and watched me climb stairs which I just love to do a lot these days. Some would say it's my favorite hobby. Rick made spaghetti sauce and there was talk the next day that it was quite good.

This is my mom's friend Rick.
That's my mom's breast feeding pillow on his big head.
Uncle Rick has a huge head.
But he's super fun.
We had a good laugh.
And he makes the best guacamole.
Hurry back to visit Uncle Rick.
I miss you.
Love, Jaffe (cocktail waitress)
