Slime!

Today was a great day! We made slime! Mostly Mommy gave me all the stuff and I made slime :)
Here's the recipe in case you see these pictures and then are like "Wow that is way super cool! I want to make slime like Knox!"
1. Dissolve 1 tbsp of Borax in 1 cup of water
2. Pour a bottle of Elmer's glue in a bowl
3. Put food coloring in the glue (I did green cuz that's what Mommy had)
4. Stir some and add the Borax water to the colored glue
5. Stir! Squish! Mush! And scoop out the solid-y part

See I'm pouring in the glue by myself (I LOVED the glue part and kept asking of more "boo")

Pouring in the water

Stir stir stir!

Stretch!






Squish squash mush!

New Years: The Double Bond

On New Year's Eve the Knox's traditionally set off to the annual Johanson New Year's Party. From what I heard going into this it's a fun time, but this was going to be my first NYE partying experience. I was pumped. And rather dashing in my tux. That was all Mr. Sir's idea. Years ago it started being a regular request that he don the Bond as his contribution to the festivities. I knew there was going to be a DJ (perfect for showing of my stellar moves), a bar (bottled water anyone?), and lots of finger food (you say "finger food" I HEAR "CANDY!").

Apparently Mommy failed to get a photo of Jack and me dancing' I think she was too enthralled with the amazing-ness that I was doing with my legs. And my arms. I even invented a new move: The Frankenstein. Uncle Pete got a second on his phone so maybe somehow Mommy'll figure out how to get videos up here so you can see me in action. 

Why are we taking time posing when there is a PARTY going on?!?

YaYa and Jack outside where we were dancing. I was SO super bummed when he went inside to eat so I kept going in to get him and out to dance and in to get him. And THEN I found he was eating food but sitting RIGHT NEXT to M&M's. I had like a hundred of those things.

Dance. Hydrate. Dance. Hydrate. Find a car that belongs to the little boy, Cade, that lives there and ride it around for several hours uninterrupted. Forget about dancing. Ride car. Hydrate.

I am pretty sure Mommy told me she had candy.

YaYa AND Mr. Sir! And who's that little stud with the water?


Auntie Em!

 And there's Mommy and Daddy! And that little handsome fellow popping up in another picture :)

The party was so fun! I totally stayed up until midnight (and beyond) and got kisses. Next year I will definitely yell "Happy New Year". And I think I will show up for the party whether there is a party or not. Thanks Johanson's!!!

Fun with Jack the Jack!

This is me playing in the yard and YaYa and Mr Sir's house with Jack. Mr. Sir and Mommy were hanging out with us. Great BeanPa came to visit but after he got there he fell over and broke his femur at the hip joint. So YaYa was at the hospital with him waiting of his surgery. He is okay though! And soon you'll get to see how we celebrated his birthday with him. So here's just pictures of us playing...

My hair had something crazy cool happening that day. And my pants kept falling off.

Ringing the wind chime. I think maybe it startled Jack.

Petting the kitty

"We crash!!!"

Hahaha! Look at Jack's funny face! He is trying to beat me up! (or get his arm out from under me)

Jack made a break for it and I was stuck like a turtle on its back

"Wait Jack! Come back, I have more crashing for us to do"

Studying the environment

YaYa's butterfly is so cool

We aren't doing anything! Honest!

Knox the Photographer

I got my own awesome kid camera for Christmas and I love it! I was already pretty much a pro at taking pictures of the tablecloth and the floor with the iPhone, but I definitely felt the need to step it up a notch. I wanted Mommy to take a picture of me to start it off and then I took the camera outside and went to work.


EMMA! This cat is so hard to get a picture of! Every time I runny speedy fast to her she runs away. When will she learn that I am trying to go to her fast to see her? I mean I know she loves my squashy hugs. I did manage to grab one shot though

My Muno shoes! There's like a half dozen of these gems but Mommy said to pick one and you guys would get the idea.

Pokey Puppy's Butt. I said "puppy butt" almost a hundred times when we were looking at this picture.

Big Green Frog. This guy has been hiding for awhile and I was super excited when he reappeared in my rocking chair this morning. It's weird though. I can't find the bear that used to sit in that chair now...

I took a bunch of pictures of Big Frog in case he decides to sneak away again.

In case I have to make a "MISSING" poster I made sure to get all his parts. "Frog Feet!"

"My table!"

"My hand!"

Christmas Afternoon at Home

More presents! We went home after Gram and Buelo's to open presents from Mommy and Daddy. And play with my trains some more of course.









Christmas night Matt and Natalie came over with ONE MORE present for me! It's super cool and I was really surprised. They said they couldn't wrap it so we were all curious, but Matt got it KIND OF wrapped.

Family Christmas

After I played with my new trains for awhile we went to Gram and Buelo's to open presents! I love opening presents!!! Mommy and Daddy kept yelling cuz I tried to open any present that was near me (and if nothing was close enough for me to reach then I just went to the tree and grabbed one). I pretty much had to help everyone open though. Especially Mommy, it's like she didn't know what to do so she kept saying, "Help me open this one, Knox".  Good thing I was there or Mommy maybe wouldn't have ever known what she got for Christmas.

Showing off my trains when we got there.

"Tio" (or is it Steve?) - Uncle Andrew

I had to strategize how I would open presents without putting my new cars down. Mostly I put them in one hand and made Uncle Arron hold my gifts steady so I could tear with the other hand.

Uncle Aaron held the bag for me and I yanked the tissue paper out of the bag. It flew behind me.... with my present wrapped in it! Then the bag was EMPTY! I was so confused for  minute.
                                         

My hat and Yo Gabba Gabba friends from Uncle Aaron!




Mommy to this super cool thing that Daddy and Buelo made! (the uncles helped some too)

The thing above was hiding in the garage. I showed Mommy where it was.

Playing with lots of new hot wheels and Cars guys.
