Last weekend

Okay, so my moms are a little behind in their posting, but here are some pics from last weekend- the weather was 70 degrees (in January!) so we went to the park on Saturday, and then my Mommy and Uncle Dennis took me to the Aquarium on Sunday. I LOVED the big fish tanks and walking along the railing and the rainforest, but the dolphin show SCARED me- what were those big fish doing in that perfectly nice swim tank?

My Mommy went to Connecticut College- so OF COURSE I had to ride on the Camel!



The swings (my favorite!)


BEFORE the scary dolphins


Yep, just saw them doing tricks- no animal should be that smart

cruise pics

Not too sure about Mickey...
Fun in the water (I didn't really like the sand though)
What is more cute- the towel animal or me?
Just relaxing
Enjoying the view
The dreaded muster drill costume- I did manage a smile for a minute though [JUMP TO FULL POST]

12 month Doctors visit

For those of you keeping track here are my stats from my 12 month visit to the Doctor:

Height: 30 1/2 inches (about 75th percentile)
Weight: 26.2 pounds (about 90-95th percentile)
Head Circumfrence: 48 1/2 cm (about 90-95h percentile)

I got 4, count them.... 4 shots AND a finger stick. I did not cry for the finger stick- AT ALL!!! And I only whimpered after the 1st shot. I did cry for the last three, but was fine as soon as Mommy picked me up and let me turn on and off the light switch. So I am growing well, and the Dr. was very impressed with my excellent personality, I especially enjoyed sucking on her stethoscope, and playing the funny light she used to look in my ears, nose and mouth.

More Christmas 2006



We had a whirlwind Christmas, but didn't have to go far for the actual holiday... we went to church/the christmas pageant (where Mama made Mommy walk to and from church, even though it was cold and Mommy was wearing not-so-comfortable shoes). Then Nonna and Rick came over for dinner and pre-presents. Nonna stayed over and in the morning we did stockings, presents, and tea and bagels. I thoroughly enjoyed the wrapping paper and "helping" others open their gifts.

In the afternoon we headed to Nonnas and got o open *more* presents and *more* stockings. (my moms keep mentioning "rotating" my toys- the horror! They were meant to take over the entire living room, Moms, can't you see that?) Then it was early to bed and early to rise for our Cruise! We went on a Disney cruise with Nonna, Rick, RJ, Sean, Auntie Hillary and Auntie Emily. It was so much fun, even though I did not get to go to the spa or get a beach massage like my moms. And even though I'm not quite ready to totally love a giant mouse with 4 fingers on each hand. It was alot of Disney, but the ship was beautiful, well-kept, and they served things like Mango-Papaya Soup for dinner, which I love, and ice cream, which my moms let me have nibbles of now that I am ONE YEAR OLD. The one thing I did not like was the "muster drill" where they make you dress up in a funny looking costume, called a life jacket, and stand in a line. My lifejacket looked more garish than anyone else's, apparently because I am less than 30 pounds. the nerve. [JUMP TO FULL POST]

Birthday Cake



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

[JUMP TO FULL POST]

oh yeah...

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!

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]
