I'm 1 today!

Today is my first birthday. I'm not quite walking, but boy can I crawl! I'm a very fast baby. I can go up and down stairs and reach a lot of things that I'm not supposed to have.

I'm a very good eater. I eat whatever Mom and Dad are having these days. Enchiladas are my favorite... same as Daddy! I talk all the time, but no one but Otis understands what I'm saying. I understand grownups though. When Mom tells me to turn the page of my book, I can do it!

My favorite things to do are shopping at Wal-Mart and hiking in the woods. I'm very comfortable in my backpack. I like to eat Mom's hair while I'm back there.

I had a big party for my birthday! Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Lana came and lots of friends. Here are some pictures from the big event. Be sure to notice the leopard print outfit with matching birthday crown. As always, I'm a very stylish baby!

My first taste of cake... thanks to Aunty Lauralee and Uncle B for making my birthday cake!

Me and Auntie Lauralee... two fashion divas.

Mom gave me a birthday spanking.

Dalton helped me open my presents.

Mr. Martin read a story to me and Carson.

Grandma made me this beautiful Noah's Ark quilt for my birthday. It's hanging on the wall in my room.

Mount Rainier

Mom and Dad took me to Mount Rainier today. The weather is doing an inversion, so it's 34 degrees and foggy at home, but in the 60's and sunny up on the mountain. We had a picnic and went for a hike. I enjoyed every minute!

Finally, the Christmas photos!

My first Christmas was a lot of fun. I got a dump truck, a baby and a lot of other great toys. Opening presents was very exciting! We had fun family events and of course the snow. Here are some of the pictures. There will also be a video coming from Aunt Lana with me giggling uncontrollably at my cousins shooting an air gun. Stay tuned for the video and highlights from my first birthday party... which is right around the corner!

I got this new car from Grandma and Grandpa.

Helping Mom open up her perfume. I'm a good helper.

I got pretty silly Christmas morning!

Here I am with Aunt Lana. Be sure to notice my cute outfit!

Here I am in my new dump truck. I look like a boy, but I guess that's sort of appropriate.

Christmas Day with Great-Aunt Marilynn and Cousin Clarissa. We had a very nice holiday.

White Christmas

My first Christmas was actually white! I got to play in the snow. Check me out sledding with Mom & my pup and riding with Dad on the ATV.
