Gobble, Gobble...& Some Turkey, Turkey! GUEST BLOGGER - AUNT MORGAN

(Just so you know...this entire post is going to be written via the sweetest baby girl in the whole wide world, Miss Minnie Moo Moo!)

What up my loyal reader fans. Phew...this has been ONE crazy week, for the Minn Minns!

I woke up one morning and my Aunt Mo Mo was here, in our home. I guess she got there the night before...but I just decided, that night, I was ready to sleep from 730pm till about 1 in the morning! She didn't even get to see me the first night and KEEPS bringing it up to me!

She and Mommy laugh really loud and Aunt Mo has this little furball with her that follows her everywhere, named Zola Belle Cullen. It's cute and all, but steals some of my kisses...but, I love Auntie Mo Mo because we both have the same colored blue eyes. She and Mommy took me to Target and I was a really good girl...this is me at target (below) all wide-eyed and adorable!

All through Target my Mommy and Aunt Mo kept talking about this thing called Thanksgiving...everything they picked up they said, 'Do you think we'll need THIS for Turkey Dinner?' I mean honestly, couldn't they have at LEAST planned ahead? It was a day before the supposed Feast, for goodness sake! They kept saying, "We have to make Phyllis proud!"

We finally made it home and all Auntie Mo Mo did was scream that I had gotten soooooo big (blah blah blah) and Mommy kept saying, 'Isn't she soooo fatter-fat-fats?' Then they would both giggle and if I also giggled, they'd fall all over each other. I decided I was getting hungry so it was time to put on my BEST serious face...hence the picture below. I mean business when I'm a hungry girl...plus, Auntie Mo thinks Zola is her baby, but noone dares to tell her that Zola isn't human!

Here's "Lil' Papi" (Mommy and Daddy call her that) and that lil' furball of Auntie Mo's I was talking about, Zola Belle. She is really cute and an excellent little puppy. But I pulled her hair and Papi actually stepped on her a few times...she squeals really LOUD when that happens!


This here is my Daddy with some serious rooster hair in the morning! He makes my Mommy laugh all the time with his witty banter and funny hair (ok, maybe a baby wouldn't know the word banter!) Finally, I'm bigger than SOMETHING in our house that gives me kisses!


Sheesh, more Zola kisses again! Doesn't this puppy have something else to do?


Ok, ok...I'll stop complaining! Now it's time for some of my bestest work...my funny faces! I was sitting on Mommy's laugh and Auntie Paparazzi was flashing away!



Yay, look who has arrived...my Grand Daddy! He walked right into the house, set his bags down and grabbed me right out of Mommy's hands. He's also my other blue eyes relative...we blue eyed folks, we stick together!


...and uncle Wah Wah too! I got to see him right after I was born, but I can't wait to show him, my red-headed BFF my newest trick - smiling, laughing and giggling!



I could sit on Grand Daddy's lap all day long! I never even make a peep when I'm with him...besides my Mimi, I think he might also be taking 'Baby Whisperer' classes...
"Well hello there my red headed bestest friend. I share all my deepest secrets with you and babble and babble and babble to you!" (video clip below)
Dr. Collins...nope, I think everyone was calling him Dr. Dolittle!


Sooooo, let me explain this...Papi thinks she's a lap dog and Zola thinks she's as big as Papi. Papi got this HUGE bone from Uncle Wah and Aunt Mo but Zola wanted in on the action...


So, she just started chowing down when Paps wasn't looking...

Poor, poor Paps...she was so sweet and Zola was an Indian giver!


Happy Thanksgiving Day! Sooooo this is what all the Turkey Talk is about...so how do you like my outift? It lasted about T-minus 5 minutes...whoops, I had a spit up! Auntie Mo didn't mind picking out numero dos for the day...

Daddy is doing big baby smusy squeezes with me...doesn't it make my eyes look REALLY blue?

This is the whole group relaxing before the festivities begin. Uncle Wah is peeling potatoes, Grand Daddy got everyone yummy Starbucks, Daddy is playing fun games with me and Mommy is about to take a shower...she was up with me for a while last night!

So this is the ensemble that Auntie Mo chose for me. I look like such a shrimp on the floor, don't I? Where's Zola? She makes me look HUGE!

Here's me and my Auntie! We both have blue eyes and oh shucks...I always do embarassing smiles around her. We can't figure it out but I'm always silly and embarassed looking around her!


This is my GORGEOUS Mommy on Thanksgiving. Doesn't she look so pretty? She and Auntie were in the bathroom forever and all I heard is Auntie saying, "Hold still britt, so I can put eye shadow on you, here...put on this blush...let me braid your hair..."


This is Daddy cutting the turkey that Uncle Wah and Aunt Mo put in the oven the night before. It was the first time ANY of us had ever cooked a turkey...everyone was chowing down, even Zola and Papi...everyone except for me!


See, told you...there was some serious eating going on in the house that day!


Ummmm...where am I? Can someone please explain to me HOW I didn't make the cut to be in this picture. Was this before Mommy came upstairs smelling like mashed taters? Not fair, people...this is totally not fair! I sleep all quiet and you party without me?


And to cap it all off...after being such a good girl, my Mommy and Daddy dressed me up like a Turkey. Yes a real flippin' turkey. Well, I was really sad because that darn suit was too small (or maybe I'm just growing too fast) but regardless...I had something to flip back at all of them...

Yep, that's right...that's all I have to say to YOU, people! Get me OUT of this thing, noooooow!


Ok, ok...just ONE family picture!


Daddy and his animals are passed out and tired...what a yummy dinner and day!

Yeah, I think I'll do the same thing! Cooking that huge dinner for everyone really tires a lil' girl right out! Oh yeah, this is my newest blanket too! How pretty is it? My Uncle Walt's Mom made it for me...like people, I'm not talking go to the store and buy a blanket...I'm talkin' sat there for many'a nights and knitted me this gorgeousness! Yeppers, I'm in love with it!


I'm sprinkling my magical baby fairy dust on Uncle Wah's head...he's busy talking to his side of the family, but I secretly don't want him to leave because we have such great conversations!



Grand Daddy read me a book...he's a really good reader and I wasn't squirmy murmy at all...me and Grand Daddy, we are like two peas in a pod!



Sooooo, this is what I was telling you about...Uncle Wah and me, we smile SO MUCH together!


So this is another gift from Uncle Walt's Family...to tell you the truth, it may look cute and fun but looks can be deceiving. I HATE tummy time. This is a mean torture device in my mind. Yes, there's little pretty things everywhere and Mommy makes me do it and I comply...but there is NOTHING about laying on my stomach that I enjoy. I'm gonna ask Mommy if we can switch it up and make it back time? Do you think she'll go for it?


These are some slippers that WahMo got me a few months ago. I've finally grown into them...but all I ever want to do is kick them off. When Mommy says, "No Baby...keep your lil' piggy slippers on" and I kick them off...I do giggle with glee, and she just rolls her eyes and laughs at me!



So we all decided to head into Portland (well, into the busy part of the city) and see the big Christmas tree get lighted. Uncle Wah said 'SURE' when Mommy and Daddy asked if he wanted to carry me! But sheesh...was it a REALLY dark night? I could only see my own hands...

Silly Mommy and Mo...


Yay, now I can see and look...I only have eyes for Daddy (or maybe just that which has the milk at the moment).
Zola was really quiet and a lil' boy a few years older than me screamed BOW WOW when he saw her. Puhhhhhleeeese older dude, you wanna see a REAL bow wow, come to my house and meet the Paps!

Daddy is really funny and does anything to make me and Mommy giggle. This is what he does to Papi and calls her Snuffalupagus...as you can see, it's NOT Paps fave!


And we're off to a brewery for lunch...I'm such a good girl and just LOVE my frogs in my carseat!

How pretty are the leaves right outside my front door? Oh, you know you're jealous!


Gearing up and leaving the house for some locally brewed organic beer. I haven't seen Daddy and Uncle Wah move so fast all week long!


See, I'm telling you, Santa better be good to me! I'm such a good girl. I slept the whole time at the brewery and when I sleep, I hold Daddy's pinky too!


How come bedtime comes so much earlier for me? This was the day that WahMo babysat me and Mommy and Daddy went to a movie. I was kind of naughty but it was great practice for the Cullens...so Auntie Mo read me my story and Zola and Uncle Wah listened too (so nosy!)


We're off to Mount Hood...Auntie Mo just had to take another picture cause she said my big blue eyes looked gorgeous. Hmmmm, now that I see the pic, I must agree! I'm pretty darn cute!



We made it to Timberline Lodge and had such a great lunch...Uncle Wah held me for some of the time and Auntie Mo...yep, she took MORE PICS. I swear, that lady has a camera attached to her arm. As you can see, below, I'm quite tired of smiling today!



Daddy was rocking me back and forth because I was a little bit fussy. I heard Uncle Wah and Mommy talking about how my crying stresses them out. Thankfully, Daddy and Aunt Mo don't get so worked up :-)


It looks like Mommy was about to say something...


Mount Jefferson and the pretty sky that evening...

I was already 'snug as a bug in a rug' so we just took a family picture really quick. We're heading back to a cabin next weekend, so we'll get more pics then too!



Back at the house after a long ride home...Mommy did keep calling me her Angel because I was a good, good girl. Uncle Wah's last night...he wanted to give me LOTS of kisses. But look next to him, Papi is giving baby Zola some kisses too! They've become really funny furry friends!

Smilin' big for Uncle Walt...how about my snazzy onesie pink pj's? Hey, Auntie Mo, think I can make it on RunwayDaily wearing this?


Mommy said this is one of her TOP new fave pics! I'm just giggling and giggling!


Auntie Mo...take a chill pill with that camera...I know I'm cute and all, but I want to enjoy my last night with Uncle Wah.


So Uncle Wah's last night in Portland and he read me a great story, "Look at You!" Hey Zola Belle, this is my story Miss Nosy Rosy...puuuuhleeeese, kindly, look the other way little dog. Or wait, get over here and give me a smooch, your puppy kisses make me giggle so much!


Here's some great videos of me below too! You can check out more at my own personal Youtube page HERE! I'm such a Rockstar Baby!

Glad to see that you guys had such a nice Thanksgiving!

Wow, she really is growing so much--talking and holding her head up so well!!! You guys are way mean for putting that sweet baby in a turkey outfit though! You know she will make you pay for that at some point in her life :)

You look AMAZING Brit--really gorgeous! Can I have Morgan come do my hair and makeup? I am jealous!
