If I were president, Christmas would be 365 days a year and Rice Cereal would be banned!

Welcome to my website, the after Christmas edition.

I'm little bummed. Since Christmas ended, the whole present thing has kinda slowed down. Why???

I hope that your holidays were good and profitable. Mine were. I was up by 5:30am Christmas morning, which surprised Mommy and Daddy, who went to bed at 1:30 am. They thought that they had a couple of years still before I did something like that. Think again! I gotta keep them on their toes you know. I got all kinds of goodies! I got a Leap Pad, a Dinosaur, some houses and blocks, some books, a pillow, clothes, a TMX Tickle Me Elmo, little trucks, a teddy bear, and a ball popping toy! I try to play with all of them, but for the most part, I just like to put them in my mouth. Plastic tastes good. Cat fur doesn't.

I have a kitty named Tabitha Jones. I have learned that pulling her fur and ears makes her meow and run away. It makes me laugh. When I learn to walk, I plan on following her everywhere. Mommy is worried about the cat box. She thinks that I will eventually try tasting that also, but I'm smarter than she thinks. I've smelled that thing and there's no way that I'm eating that! The only thing worse is probably rice cereal!

I eat baby food now. I especially love apples, pears, and bananas. One of my favorites that Mommy gave me was pre-mixed Oatmeal, Apples, and Bananas in a jar. No more cereal for me!!!! Yep, I won the cereal battle. I don't have to eat that boxed stuff anymore! I'm sure that in a box is the only way cereal is sold... Anyway, I'm getting to be a big boy now!

I was the littlest lamb in the Christmas pageant at church last month! I wore all gray and a hood with ears on it over my head. I was great and everyone came to see my stage debut! I was given a Christmas ornament for my performance. I also went to my first Christmas party. That's actually what it was called- "Baby's First Christmas Party". There are several pictures of the party in the photo section of this website. I had to wear antlers during the party, but that's ok, 'cause I made lots of new baby friends. I got some other ornaments there, as well as a stuffed reindeer, a picture frame, and a stocking. It was a lot of fun, but it wore me out!

Still no teeth for me. I may have to get dentures. Mommy isn't too happy about that, but she says it may be cheaper than getting braces later down the road.

I'm getting over my first cold right now. I have been struggling with it for weeks. I have to do breathing treatments on a regular basis and yesterday the doctor prescribed me some expensive nose spray. It will be nice when I can breathe normally again. Mommy and Daddy laugh 'cause I've been snoring at night.

My babysitter, Rachel, moved away, so Mommy has been watching me in the afternoons. She says that anyone who wants to visit or call can come by anytime, 'cause she misses adult conversation, whatever that is.

Well, that's all for this month. Daddy's birthday is on the 25th, so send him a card. I'm giving him the Evan special- a big gooey, poopy diaper. Make a note of that, because it would be tacky of someone to send him the same thing. I thought of it first!

Love,

Evan Beggs!!!!!
