Fun photos!

I decided that the dog's cage looked like fun. Daddy took my picture and made fun of me :) Keisha is the best nanny ever. I love her so much!

Here is the silly outfit mommy dressed me in for the cold.

13 month picture

Mommy took it on time but forgot to post it. Here I am hanging out with the penguin. I am much taller than it now :)

Izzy is walking!

Proof!!!

SO while she refuses to drink milk from a sippy cup when it is given to her by parents. Keisha our own supernanny get her to do it and can even take pictures....

We had a good time seeing Santa with our cousins. Mommy and Daddy are great cool too!

SANTA!

Yay for Santa! If you are happy and you know it clap your hands!

Some catch-up including Halloween fun for 13 months

So Mommy realized she had not posted in a while and thought she would post a few pictures. I am celebrating being 13 months today! I have not really gone further than one step though I am standing like a pro. I will do it when I am good and ready. If it is anything like standing I will wait until I am totally comfortable and then take off.
This is the pumpkin Daddy carved to look like me. It has four teeth just like I do and if you look closely it has tears...I really don't cry very much... I like to play the piano at Edina's house. It can even play itself!

Edina and I love hanging out together. Here we are swinging while Mommy rakes.

Granny even bought us matching outfits for Halloween. I have a 90th percentile head can you tell which one I am?

I love to look at books. This one is a favorite in my high chair. It is just the right size. Thank you Mrs. Stein!

While I am refusing to walk alone I am a big fan of walking while holding on to a finger :)

Mommy thinks I am very cute eating spaghetti.

All by Myself

So I have been standing ny myself for about a week, but only for short bursts and never for the camera. Today, I got a lot braver and have been standing for a bit and standing from sitting without pulling up on anything. I also took a step towards Daddy which was the first official one without support. Here is a picture of me standing. Check back soon and maybe Mommy and Daddy will catching me walking on film or at least standing with my eyes open :).

Just the facts!

I had to go to the doctor today and the mean nurse gave me four shots and a stuck my finger. I am doing well, but I was not happy about all of that. I weigh 22 pounds and 10 oz. and am 29 inches long. Mommy will post pictures once I am happy again :)

Swim Class

I had my first swim class today. Here I am looking cute and waiting to get in. Here I am with Mommy and you can see our nice teacher Catherine standing behind us. She has the same name as the dog.

Daddy got to go in with me too.

Mommy and Daddy keep talking about taking me for my one year check-up on Thursday so they will likely post things like how much I weigh on Friday :)

Happy Halloween

I started out the day hanging out on Daddy while he raked the front yard. Later we went trick-or-treating

Daddy says I am a good luck charm for the Yellow Jackets or at least he hopes so!

I even have a stinger on my butt!

Cake and Ice Cream

So Saturday Mommy and Daddy threw me a party and I got to eat my first cake. It was really good, but I was pretty neat and clean with it which was disappointing to Mommy and Daddy, but today..... We went to the Cheesecake Factory for my actual birthday dinner. I ate my dinner which including some chicken quesdadilla (spelling?!)...

and then they brought me an ice cream sundae complete with a candle. Once they were done singing Mommy fed me some...

and then I fed myself lots more!

It was very yummy. I LOVE ice cream!!!!!!!!!!!

I was eating ice cream at 8:20 tonight which for those of you who forget is when I officially became one. I like this birthday treat!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Good Morning! Here are some pictures Mommy took of me this morning. I am not the most happy first thing in the morning. Along with those pictures are some of my party and other events (like Sydney's party) this weekend. Mommy and Daddy also want to say thank you for all of the love and support that helped get me to this place. We love you lots!

I have my own chair now :)

Aunt Leah and Uncle James brought me my own toy box. Uncle James made it for me!

Catch-up Pictures for Fall

Mommy has been very bad about posting pictures of late. We have been busy with lots of travel and Mommy and Daddy are getting ready for my birthday :) I am excited about this birthday thing. It sounds like fun and they keep telling me I am going to get cake and that sounds yummy! I continue to like all sorts of vegetables.

I have gotten to play with my friend Edina lots. Our parents switch nights out. She likes my elephant too. (Thank you Spivys)

I really like watching my bed on the video monitor.

Edina's mommy and daddy let us take a bath together again and sent mommy and daddy this cute picture while they were out to dinner. Check back soon for more pictures!
