My 1st Birthday Party!!

We had my Birthday over at Grandma & Grandpa's house!  Gamma, Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Allison, & uncle Jeff all came!  I was a bit cranky that day, but still had fun!

My Moo Cake Grandma baked for me!

Happy Birthday to Moo

Vroom Vroom

This is the chair Gamma got on her 1st birthday, then gave it to Mommy on her 1st birthday, and now I got it on my 1st birthday!

Cute hat, I'll never let mommy put on again!

Cake Time!!

I'm not so sure about this...

Eewww, get it off me!

I might not have liked the messy frosting, but the cake is yummy!

Thanks for all my Birthday wishes and presents!!  I had a great birthday!

I walked today!

For the very first time and without any help, I walked today!  It felt so good!  Of course, Mommy didn't get those 1st steps on video, but we'll always remember that I waited until I was exactly 1 to take my 1st steps!

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Covered in cake and icing,

Your smile stretched ear to ear.
A single candle celebrates,
The joy of your first year.

We sing Happy Birthday,
You play midst wrap and bows.
We marvel at how you touched our lives,
Just one year ago.

I remember the first time I held you,
Kissed your head, whispered your name.
You've changed our lives forever,
Our hearts will never be the same.


As a child you'll love this day,
For all the sweets and presents too.
As parents we'll love your day,
For the gift we got was you.


Each year we'll add another candle,
So proud to see you grow.
But always with the memory,
Of your first day long ago.

When I grow up....

I want to be an Interior Decorater!!!  I love to rearrange the furniture!

Also, Happy birthday to Mommy!!

We went to Red Robin

Mommy and I got cool balloons for our birthdays!

Mommy caught Daddy dancing... he always tries to avoid this...

Kisses for George!

Daddy thought it'd be fun to sing to us.

Still no walking though!  If I ever let go of my fire truck maybe it'll happen!

Hands out kisses to everyone but Mommy and Daddy

Mommy says I have been a little rascal today!

In the past two hours I have....
* Totally emptied mommies recycle bin all over her office floor
* Emptied the contents of her purse on the hall floor
* Taken all the Wii games/controllers out of the Entertainment Center
* Explored the Kitchen & discovered that the only cabinet that isn't baby proofed is where the tupperware is stored
* Removed ALL the tupperware on the kitchen floor and pushed it around.
* Snuck into the Pantry and rummaged through mommies recipes (I think I want to be a chef!)
* Threw the biggest tantrum ever!

Holiday Photographs

I took Carter up to Just Kids Studio in Scottsdale for his Holiday/1 year photographs!  Just Kids has an amazing studio set up and they are a great bunch of professions!  Carter had tons of fun playing with the Ford, I'd love to get him one when he's older!

But I don't want to smile!

This is FUN!

I really want one of these!

Yea, I'm cool!

Mommy even snuck in a photo!

Happy Holidays!!

Naughty or Nice?

I went to meet Santa today @ Just Kids Studio, he said I was on the nice list!!  I'm so looking forward to seeing what he leaves under the tree!

I'm trying to walk!

Mommy and Daddy have caught me taking steps lately.  But every time they get out the camera, I won't do anything but smile, look cute, and crawl around!



Mommy thinks this one is just too cute!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had Thanksgiving with Gamma, Papa, Uncle Brad & Emily.  It was lots of fun!
