Nursery

Yesterday was a big day for me- I went to nursery for the first time! This day could not have come any sooner for my parents.

It turns out, I love Nursery!!! I loved coloring, loved snack time, and loved bubble time. I hated singing time, though, and shot my stink eye at all the other singing Nursery-ites. I loved it so much, I threw a tantrum when my mom come to pick me up. I'll have to work on that. I can't wait until next Sunday!

Hummus King

When my mom was little, my grandparents called her the Shawarma Queen because she LOVED to eat shawarma so much. Well, love of Arabic food must run in the family because my new nick-name is the Hummus King. I love dipping carrots into hummus and licking it off like a delicious hummus popsicle. YUMMMM.

Angie & Baba

Check out this video, where I swear Angie makes eyes at my very own Baba. Brad Pitt better watch his back. Oh, and in case you were wondering about that plate of food in front of her- don't be fooled... she doesn't actually eat. Here's Baba's report:

It was a madhouse. Word had leaked out enough that there was going to be a special guest in the DFAC that there were crowds of people there with their cameras.

She is very nice, intelligent, serious about the refugee cause, and I cannot imagine how she survives given that she cannot take a step anywhere without crowds of people and cameras in her face. We had selected a group of troops and embassy officers to sit and have lunch. She was extremely sweet to all the people at the table, spent lots of time chatting with everyone, and agreed politely to every request for photos, autographs, waves.

Let's see what else? For lunch she had chicken fried steak, potatoes, corn with red peppers, and a diet pepsi. She ate very little of it however (you can see her nibbling in the cnn footage). I had mushroom soup, crab meat wrap, and a gatorade, but of course none of you care about that. So that is my day in Baghdad.

CRAZY. My Baba is officially the coolest grandpa ever (at least in my mom's eyes). Here's another video clip. Stay tuned for more photos...

Its kinda pathetic that my limited vocabulary includes the word "Cheeto."

Brody

Yesterday morning my beloved dog, Brody died. It has been a sad weekend for the entire Proffitt clan. My dad brought home Brody-the-puppy over 11 years ago. Since then, he has lived with many of the Proffitts and brought great happiness to each home.

I was lucky to have him as my first dog. Brody took a lot of abuse from me, but I loved hugging him, kissing him and giving him "soft" pets. He's in the background of almost all my videos and photos. That's just like Brody- perfectly content taking a backseat to my crazy antics.

My first word was "dah-die" in reference to all doggies. My mom thinks its a combination of doggie and Brody which is appropriate because Brody was THE best doggie ever. He will be sorely missed.
