Meeting Nora

​Sweet Nora

Nora is the newest member of the family. 
Picture
She is just over 4 months old, so I didn't try to play.
Picture
Beth introduced us. She looked a little confused. I was a little scared she might put me in her mouth.
Picture
We were all much happier when I slipped back into her pocket! I could feel her little happy heart beating!

I love Baby Nora so much!

A New Christmas Bear

​Christmas 2024

This is a picture of Christmas Day, of me and another Little Bear.
Picture
I am still the LITTLER Bear! But this whole thing was a little worrisome.

Charlie's Christmas Wish

My Little Buddy, Charlie asked Santa to bring her a Little Bear for Christmas.
Picture
That scared me. Am I not good enough? But then I remembered, that I live with Beth.
Picture
Charlie asked Santa to also bring a little bike and a skateboard for her Little Bear.

2 Bears and 2 Toys

That actually worked out pretty well!
Picture
Beth brought me out of the bag and I was introduced to Charlie's Little Bear. 
Picture
Picture
But Big Little Bear got to ride the tricycle and she put me down on the skateboard. I felt like I was taking a nap. No fair.
Picture
Then she helped me sit up on the skateboard and I could enjoy the action!
Yay for a new friend and new Christmas toys!

Seaside with Charlie

Beach?

​We didn't really go to the beach.
Picture
But we sat in some sunshine and had some fun with shells.
Picture
She stayed inside, though. My favorite Buddy, Charlie had played outside in the sun all morning.
Picture
Charlie put me inside the conch shell very carefully. I didn't want to get stuck deep inside!
Picture
Then she put me right on top of a scallop shell, beside some spotted shells with fun shapes.
Picture
Picture
Charlie thought it was pretty funny.

​I loved playing on our pretend beach, with our clean shells. 
Picture
No worries about waves and sand!

Nesting Dolls

​4 Faces


Here I am, joining in with a set of nesting dolls.
Picture
I tried to look pleasant, like the other 3 faces.
Picture
But I left the 3 dolls alone after a while. I couldn't conjure up a proper smile. 

Missing My Buddy

Seeing the dolls made me miss my Buddy, Charlie. Last June, Charlie was 2 and we played with the nesting dolls.
Picture
Charlie liked to take out the little "Baby" doll and hide it. Then she'd ask, "Where's Baby?"

Me

Then Charlie had fun putting me inside the big doll. 
Picture
She was very pleased with herself. And I was happy to play.

It's been almost a year since we played with these dolls. Charlie is 3 and much bigger. I hope she'll still want to hide me in the doll.

Cabin Games

With Charlie

In February, I got to spend some time with Charlie at the cabin.
Picture
She's 3 now, so I don't think she'll eat me... or throw me... or lose me!

Puzzles

Charlie took me around the cabin and let me play with games.
Picture
I wasn't too interested in the puzzle. She could tell and she moved me.

Chess

I told her I could be the King if she put a crown on my head.
Picture
She didn't think much of that.

Dice

​Charlie got out the wooden dice.
Picture
She made me a little chair.

Skittles

Then Charlie found the biggest of all the games.
Picture
She had the best time standing all the pins up, on the little circles. She let me watch from above.

Riding on the Top

Then she wanted Beth to let me ride on the spinning top!
Picture
That was really not fun.
Picture
I felt dizzy and of course I fell off.

​March
​

We went back to the cabin in March. Charlie and Beth did some practicing. 
Picture
Picture
I'm getting better at staying on. But I'd rather go back to chess!

Kisses from Charlie

​Surprise!

Charlie looked surprised to see me when we were at a restaurant in Austin.
Picture
She didn't need crayons and paper for entertainment while we waited for food.
Picture
Picture
I was excited when she found an umbrella (from somebody's drink) that was just my size!
Picture
Food came and it was time for me to go back into Beth's purse. 
I don't like being put away. I do like good-bye kisses!

Bench in Sac

Playing with Charlie

It was a pretty summer day in Sacramento. 
Picture
I got to come out of the bag and spend some time with Charlie.
Picture
The family had to wait almost an hour for a table at the restaurant. ​So I was good entertainment. 
Picture
"Grandma Beth" had a good time watching Charlie have fun with me.
Picture
Charlie is almost two and a half years old and she is very funny. She put me on her nose.
Picture
Then she tossed me behind the bench. It took Beth a long time to find me. I went back in the bag and Grandma Beth did some explaining to Charlie.

Smokey Bear in Arizona

Grand Canyon

I can't believe I'm at the Grand Canyon!
Picture
I'm much happier posing on a stump with Smokey Bear, than near the edge of the canyon!

Charlie

I'm so happy that I'm traveling with this playful girl! Charlie, Smokey, Yoda and I had fun!
Picture
Charlie thought it was pretty funny when she knocked me into the funny hole on the stump. Again, I'm glad we were not playing close the Canyon!

Mardi Gras with Charlie

With my Buddy

​I love spending a holiday with a buddy.
Picture
This plastic doll is not my BEST buddy.

​My Buddy Charlie

Charlie is Beth's granddaughter, but she is my best buddy.
Picture
She is two now. That's old enough to celebrate!

​Choosing

Beth put me on the table with the doll and guess who Charlie reached for?
Picture
Picture
But she didn't exactly hug that baby. Luckily she didn't think that baby was candy. I think she likes me better than that baby.

Tired Charlie

Charlie got tired before Beth got a good picture of the two of us.
Picture
It was time for nap and the baby and I were forgotten

King Cake

By evening the "adults" had Sazeracs and shrimp jambalaya. The baby and I got to make an appearance on the cake.
Picture
But Charlie headed for bed, before the cake was cut into.

Where's Charlie?

I wish Charlie didn't have to go bed all the time. But at least I wasn't alone on the cake.
Picture
My new plastic baby-friend and I laughed and said we were glad to NOT be inside the cake. There was actually another one buried inside. 

​I'm glad I got to spend a little time celebrating with my Best Buddy, earlier!

A Charlie Christmas

Charlie and Me

​Charlie came to my house for Christmas!
Picture
Picture
We haven't seen each other for many months. I think she was happy to see me.

Sitting Around

​She put me on a chair.
Picture
Picture
I sat around a while.

I sat and I watched Charlie.
Picture
I sat some more.

​Then Charlie found me another chair.
Picture
I sat some more.

​Then...
Picture
It was time to put me back in my bag. Charlie is very careful with me. 
​I love her.

Time With Charlie

8/24/2022

Happy Valley, Oregon

Charlie is finally old enough to play. I climbed into her toy cup and waited. 
Picture
Charlie didn't notice me, until Beth put the cup on her highchair tray. She seemed intrigued.

​Not So Sure

Charlie was amused, until I climbed out.
Picture
She was not a bit sure about me. 

Funny?

After she touched me, she suddenly thought I was hysterically funny. I'm not sure what to think about that.
Picture
Charlie's high pitched squeals were almost painful! She seemed delighted, but she still didn't want to touch me again.

Pocket Time

I found a good way to spend some time with Charlie, so she could get comfortable with me.
Picture
She was okay having me in her pocket, but she still wasn't sure.

Finally

​Eventually, Beth pulled me out of the pocket. Charlie reached with her hand and cautiously held me with two fingers.
Picture
With the help of her Support Panda Mei Mei in one hand, Charlie was able to enjoy my company.

I love Charlie.

Gingerbread House

Me & Candy

I love sweets at Christmastime. 
Picture
I love tasting candy, but I also like building candy.

House Building

We are staying with Heidi and her family for Christmas. We had a tiny project today.
Picture
Picture
Heidi and Baby Charlie had some fun with a mini Gingerbread house. 

​We built a silly house. Charlie looked at it. I posed with it. 
Picture
Then that little house ended up in the trash. Poor thing.

Oh well. I stole a couple nibbles, before the house disappeared.

Christmas Toys!

Christmas 2021

I've never had a Christmas with toys before!
Picture
These toys belonged to Baby Charlie. When she slept, I got to play.  

Musical Toys!

So many colorful toys!  Santa must have brought them.  
Picture
I especially love toys that make music. But I wasn't able to make a sound.

Sharing Toys

I had a lot more fun when Baby Charlie woke up and decided to play!
Picture
She wasn't too sure what to think of me.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
I think she likes me!

​Charlie & Me

Charlie and I are just getting to know each other.
Picture
She let me sit on her stacking tower. That was nice. 

I love playing and I love Charlie!

5 Months Old

I am getting to know Charlie again. I saw her last when she was 13 days old  and now she is 5 months!
Picture
She didn't notice me at first. I wanted her to see me, because I am her Uncle Little Bear... sort of.
Picture
But Charlie is very wise for a 5-month-old. She studied me with her eyes. Then she felt my fur with her fingers and then she looked long and hard... before she tried to taste me. That's when Beth put me away. 

I miss Charlie already!

Finally!

We've been in Oregon for a month and I finally got to do what I've been hoping to do!
Picture
Today, I got to meet Baby Charlotte! She held me in her tiny hand. Beth put a pacifier in her mouth. Was she scared the baby would eat me?
Picture
Little Charlie is only 13 days old, today. Some people tell me her eyes can't really focus yet, but I think she looked at me and wondered. 
Picture
And I wonder about her! Someday she will cuddle big stuffed animals and play with toys. Will she have a favorite? I hope I will be her favorite someday.

    Little Bear
    ​

    My mom gave me this tiny bear many decades ago... because  I like small things. 

    Some years back, I used
    him in an assignment for a photo club and I got hooked.  This little guy is a great excuse to play.  He fits in my camera bag, so he's always at the ready for a photo shoot.  He's been to a lot of places and he's had a few close calls, with fire, rivers, champagne, wild animals... the scariest of all was when he was lost in New York and returned to me weeks later.  

    I started the blog for Little Bear in 2012, but he got tired of my blogging style, very quickly. He has been writing his own blog for years.
