Baby "Candle"! (and a pretty cool Tahoe trip)

]Guess what???  I'm going to be a big brother!  My mama has "her" baby sister in her tummy!  I have named her "Candle" (though no one is sure quite why).   Mama and Dada told me about my new big brother status on my birthday a few months ago, but they wouldn't let me talk about her until now.  She is getting bigger and bigger (right now, she is 1 pound and as long as a banana!).  The doctors put in all the right parts to make a baby into Mama's tummy - isn't that amazing?  Santa Claus is going to bring her down the chimney around Christmas time (hopefully with other presents too!)...as long as she is more patient than I was and waits until she is supposed to born.  I love talking to her through Mama's tummy and give her kisses many times every day.  I ask her questions, and she answers me! Right now her favorite color is "rainbow" and her favorite food is "granola"...though she does seem to change her mind frequently.  I am pretty excited to meet her, though I never have had to be quite so patient for anything in my whole life!

Here's Dada telling me about my new big brother status

And a fun little photo shoot in Tahoe - I love collecting pinecones, so this time we decided to do something with them!



My baby sister is going to be pretty cool...but I've been enjoying life having Mama and Dada all to myself this past month. 

A wonderful weekend in Tahoe
Go faster Dada!

Go higher!  (Note: I started this off with my feet barely leaving the trampoline and built my way up pretty quickly!




Mama and my baby sister (>5 months pregnant) take me for a ride!
