I'M ONE YEAR OLD!
This
month I have really been learning at lot! I've started to wow Mom and
Dad with how smart I am at figuring out how things work... I am really
starting to think things through and really listen to what Mom and Dad
say, even following directions such as, "No, do not put that in
your mouth". I am babbling alot, but nothing too much yet that
sounds like real words... but give me time. I have now been walking
for over 3 weeks and I almost have it mastered. I rarely topple over
and my balance is fantastic. I'm getting good at pausing mid-step to
squat and pick things up and then continue on effortlessly. I am getting
faster and faster everyday and Mom wonders how soon it will be before
I am running and she has to catch me.
Here is a Quicktime video of me walking... My balance has improved dramatically
in just a few weeks and I am a lot less wobbly!
Click on the "Stop" button at any time or if you wish,
click on the "Play" button on the left to replay the video.
Such a happy boy... all smiles!
I
love to play with the remote control!
Mom
discovered that I like to eat pickles - even if they make me have a
sour look on my face!
I
just can't leave that cat door alone!
Practicing
my push-ups.
Visiting
cousin Andrew in Missouri just before my birthday!
Wake
up Mama, it's my birthday!
Opening
gifts from Grandpa Gene... He gave me some really neat toys!
Posing
for the camera before taking a bath!
See
my new top from Grandma Lisa... I'm trying to figure out how it works...
What's that, Mom? It's not a lollipop?
Oh,
you hold it... Ahhh, I think I can figure it out...
Let's
see... Hmmm...
If
I hold this part and push down....
Yep!
That's it!!! I got it!!!
Oops!
I gotta try again!
Today's
Dad's Birthday... so I gave him a birthday hug!
I
love to laugh with my Dad!
Here
I am! Already for my 1 year old pictures at Target... aren't I handsome?
Well,
at least until the tongue sticks out!
Here
I am at my birthday party and backyard barbeque... It was a lot of fun...
There we're lots of kids to play with and big people too! Then I got
to have cake and ice cream!
I had so much fun my first year... what shall I do next?
Well,
I'm headed off to California to visit my Grandma, Great Grandma, Grandpa,
Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. We're staying at Firefly
Lodge (owned by my Grandma). Then, I am going to Nashville, Tennesse
with
my Mom and Dad for almost 3 months! While I'm down there I'll get
to
see my other Grandpa, Aunt and Cousin. So be sure to check
back in
a few months to see
where I've been and what I've been up to!
