Birthday Cake

I've decided that the 2nd day of Birthday Cake is even better than the first...

This morning I took three steps... in a row! (and I wasn't holding on to anything!) [JUMP TO FULL POST]

Happy Birthday to me!

Yesterday was my birthday! My mommies can hardly believe it has been a year since I made my grand entrance. I celebrated by playing with some new toys (a swingset from Mr. Rick and some of my favorite playmates RJ and Sean, and a wagon from Aunt Kallie), and of course- CAKE!

Neighborhood Tree Lighting

Sunday we went to the tree lighting and saw Santa (who looks suspiciously like the next-door neighbor) who arrived via fire truck! [JUMP TO FULL POST]

Birthday Party Pics

It was my party and I cried cuz I wanted to...

this weekend was my big first birthday party. Although a bunch of folks couldnt make it because the stomach flu was running through daycare like wildfire (and apparently now through my friends and family too- sorry guys!), it was a blast. Owen, Natalie, Dina, and Ella represented from the baby generation, and my friends Alex and Charlotte were here too, along with a bunch of adult friends (and bigger kids, like RJ and Sean). My Aunt Kallie and Uncles Ross, Scott, and Todd all traveled from far away for the occassion. At first it was quite overwhelming, hence the crying, but I soon warmed up to the idea of having a whole huge crowd of folks in my house and 4 other babies playing with my toys. And speaking of toys, wow, people were so generous. It was amazing and overwhelming all at the same time. Of course my official birthday isn't until Thursday, but I feel all toddler-like already!

Christmas Events; II

In addition to meeting Santa at the airport, I also got to meet Santa at daycare. You can see some pics of me below wearing reindeer antlers and sitting with the toddler class (I'm going to transition from the infant room this month! Can you believe it?)... there are no pictures of me with Santa because as soon as I sat on his lap I started screaming so Mama didn't get to take any photos. Oh well....

Christmas Events: I

This weekend my moms and uncle dennis took me to see Santa Claus fly in to the local airport. I was more interested in the big kids than Santa's fly in, but I was pretty good and sat with Santa without a fuss. My favorite part, though, was getting to ride the wooden airplanes in the kids area... [JUMP TO FULL POST]

11 months of trouble...

One afternoon my Mommy followed me around with a video camera- below is some of the trouble that I got into, plus Mommy's fun experimentation with imovie.

Gus and the Giant Pizza

This weekend I went to the zoo....

I think every animal is "Cady," even these stingrays....













I played in the giant plastic pizza (what it has to do with a zoo, I dont know, but they have one...)
