First Birthday Party

Although I don't officially turn 1 until the 20th, we had my first birthday party before heading to Indiana next weekend. A party is not a party without friends, pizza, and of course, cake! Thanks everyone for coming and celebrating with me! Check it out below!

Happy Birthday to me!!
Yum yum!
Take this thing away already.
Let's put cake on the balloon!

Like Father Like Daughter

Need I say more?

It's Official

After months of rolling and scooting Mom thought I was going to skip crawling.
I fooled her. A couple of days ago I decided to give my knees a try

and realized it really is much easier to get around that way.

Play Time

One of my most favorite things to do: take everything out of any container I can find.

Bath Time

Bubble time.
I love standing soooo much that I even do it in the tub.
Time to dry off!

All Aboard!

Taking my new wagon for a little test drive.
So my birthday is coming up and Mom and Dad decided to give me my present a little early. They thought we may actually be able to use it before it gets too cold. (We'll see....they're predicting possible snow this weekend.) Stay tuned...

Still Cruising

I'm not quite walking on my own yet but I like to move around the room as much as I can.

I'm still working on this whole confidence thing.

First Haircut

I got my first haircut today. Mom was tired of brushing my hair out of my eyes. Mom and Dad said I did really well--like I'd been doing it for years. I don't know what the big deal is but I even got a certificate of bravery when I was finished.
Sitting in the big girl chair.
Holding still for her to get the back.
Reading about Elmo.
Were you talking to me?

A Shout Out to My Peeps

Let me have that camera!
Chillin' with Dad
We went to my friend Tate's first birthday on the first of October; the same day my cousin Addy turned one. Happy birthday everyone! I'm next!!!!!

Good Morning!

This is what Mom walks into every morning (and when I should be napping at times).

I like to turn on and off my light show too. I am so proud of all of my new ablilities.

I just can't contain my excitement!

Enjoying the day

"Hey! Where are you going? You're not finished yet!"

Breakfast Anyone?

Here are a couple of new things I like to do for fun. Unfortunately,

Mom and Dad moved the dogs' water into the garage.
