Vinnanigans

"Santa!  Hey!  Santa!"  These are the joyous sounds my sweet Vinnie screeched with thrill at Knotts Berry Farm last night.  It was his first time meeting Santa & knowing who he is.  SO. Darn. Cute!

Priceless

The Mind of my Gio....

While doing dishes the other night, I could hear that Vinnie was doing something with our Little People Nativity in the living room  so I asked Gio what was going on out there.  Gio came running into the kitchen & shouted, "Augh!  

Vinnie's destroying Bethlehem!"

Oh No! Where'd the Time Go?

How can my baby be THREE???

What can be said about the Vinners?  This kid marches to the beat of no drum I've ever heard before.  He seems to observe the big kids & think to himself, "Yeah, I can do that.....BETTER!" Then off he goes.  I tell you, he certainly keeps me on my toes!

Vin-Vin never wants to miss the action...but has no problem sneaking in a sweet snack no matter what the crisis (he was SOAKED at our snow trip so Grandpa sat with him in the warm car)

He will push & push himself to stay awake so as to not miss a minute of action which often results in unexpected naps in unexpected places (Walmart by Horsey Grandma's)

Connoisseur of all things sweet

Great lover of Buzz Lightyear (I swear, I think he thinks he IS Buzz!)

Admirer of art

Always seeking adventure where you'd never expect

Vinnie could not resist the temptation of the changing table sitting out, waiting for Jim to pick up.  He would climb out of his crib after I'd put him to bed, climb to the top, fasten his seat belt and promptly fall asleep.  

I find him in my bathroom sink, filling it with water often

He was THRILLED the first time he rode Astro Blasters (and was aware of his surroundings).  You should have heard his squeal of delight when he saw the larger-than-life-size Buzz!

He's really curious about babies, especially his cousins

And let's not forget the horror of the day I let his dad "trim" his hair

Loves fitting into small spaces....I guess 'cause he can

This kid can climb ANYTHING!  

Is SUPER silly

And has a BIG imagination!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VINNIE!
