Being 1 is crazy!

Where do I start?

So I'm 1 now and I guess that means you get to do all kinds of fun, exciting things, like going to the zoo where I got to go down a slide, and ride an elephant and a camel...

and using the computer...

...eating real people food...mmm....pasta....

...and showing Great Grandpa and Cousin Scotty how to destroy a tower of blocks!

But being 1 has brought some things that were not so fun too. Like getting sick :(

I had a double ear infection and then got a rash from the medicine the Dr. gave me. My mom and dad thought I was going to turn completely red. Just look at my belly!

Then when I started to feel better I was spinning around our house and I fell and hit my lip. I had to get 4 stitches. It wasn't that bad, luckily I still have all my teeth, and now this cool scar. I think it will impresses the ladies.

So after I got all better, mom and dad decided I deserved a vacation so we went to Crystal Cove beach and stayed in a cottage. It was a lot, lot, lot of fun.

At first I wasn't too sure about this sandy beach stuff...

but after trying it, it was pretty good and fun.

The Davidson's joined us for a day too. I showed them how to destroy sand castles.

I really like the water. Those waves aren't that scary, but for some reason daddy kept scooping me up everytime a big one came.

Once when he wasn't looking I ran into the water...it was so cold but I didn't mind.

Then, a few weeks after we got back it was this thing called Easter that they say is about Jesus. All I know is I got a lot of candy, popped a lot of bubbles, and got a new hat, but sometimes when I go to sleep mommy puts my new hat over my diaper. Silly mommy. It's only half full. I'm pooped...so long for now.

ONE and then some!

Hey everyone- I have been super busy this last month. So sorry I didn't get time to blog about my big birthday! I turned one year old!!! Can you believe it? I made it to my first birthday ever! I had presents and cake and a pan"cake" breakfast. Yummy. Pancakes are my very favorite thing- I could eat a dozen, oh wait I have eaten a dozen !

So I think something is going on with Mommy and I think I figured it out!.... my Mommy... is turning into a baby! Here is my careful analysis of the clues.

exhibit a : She is taking naps just like a baby does.

exhibit b : She is getting a funny round belly that sticks out - like mine does!

exhibit c : She is a picky eater, mostly milk ( like a baby) but her milk is frozen, same thing right?

exhibit d : sometimes she spits up after she eats- Just like a BABY!

That must be it- there is no other conclusion to come to than my Mommy is getting younger as she gets older- I will keep up my investigation and make sure you are all up to date on this "Curious Case".

In the mean time here is a photo of My mom and Dad and me and a video of my destruction!

New Year..........

New Baby!

Wait what? I'm the baby. Well, technically I will be one year old in a few weeks and I can walk and eat people food, but I am the baby! I thought Mom and Dad said I was getting a pet in August and I was really hoping for a Dog. I better talk to them about this and see if we can renegotiate the terms. I mean really, what do I want with a baby, they just cry and sleep, what am I going to do with that? I wonder if that is why Mommy is eating frosted flakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Or why she always looks so sad when I wake up from my naps- like she was taking a nap and I woke her up? Well excuse me Mommy. Sorry to disturb you. I will have to get back to you all on this and let you know the status.

Here I am on our New Year's trip to the zoo- and there is an orangutan in the photo as well.

Here is me and Mommy at the zoo- don't worry there is glass between us and the Giant Gorilla- and you can't break glass.

Here is me and Grampa- he is silly.
