1 year old

Since I am now 1 years old, I have had lots of tricks up my sleeve that I have been waiting to share. I can feed myself (well kinda)...

Check out my new "toy"...
See what I can do...
Trevor is here visiting from Las Vegas.

My second "first" Christmas

I know you all my be confused but this is my second Christmas, but the first time Christmas passed I was only 13 days old and do not remember a whole bunch so to me this is my "first" Christmas.
Bo Marie got to unwrap a tea party set from my mom and dad and I loved to help her clear the table (even when she was not ready).
The Barthels and Reinharts and yes my mom is bringing me a new brother or sister in another 6 months... she has not just got really really fat!!
I cannot leave out my puppy, Dakota.
Me and Bo- everyone says she was acting like Brittany Spears (whoever that is)!!

Finally my mom and dad said I could rip these presents open and not get in trouble.
I love books...

Who got the BIG one this year?
It's hard work on a little dude.

Look at us...
Grace, Jaci, Kayla, Courtni, and me.

1 years old

We celebrated my 1st birthday party a couple days early so I would have the rest of the day to recuperate. It was such a big day for me. I got to have my own birthday cake, I have never tasted something so good. Then I ripped all these boxes open and my mom and dad did not even get mad, in face they were clapping when I did it. To my surprise there were toys in those big boxes.
I had to be careful not to touch the burning candle.
Here I go...
All over my fingers, I was not to sure what I thought about that right away.
That is pretty darn good stuff, half chocolate and half yellow cake.
Now I am really getting it down.

Sooo big...
My new dump truck that I can probably ride in.
I am a Kawasaki boy now.
Tearing into something new.
My new truck.

Me and my dad and mom

I love to read with my dad. Me and my mom laying down for quiet time.
Yeah right- I don't know what quiet time means!

Getting Close

I am getting so much closer to that walking thing. I can take about 5 steps at a time then my mom says I get way to excited and crash and burn. Sandy (daycare) thinks that I am just going to skip walking and go right on to running. I wonder why she thinks that!!

My favorite toy

This is the one thing I do make sure I play with everyday. I love all the music and different sounds it makes. Everytime I push, roll, or pull something and music plays, my tush just starts a groovin.



I like to practice no hands.

Look what I found

I have been finding so many new things in my house, today I opened the kitchen cupboards and found quite a surprise. There were so many bowls to pull out and bang around, who needs toys.


Lets see what is all the way back there.

Is this walking?

My mom pulled out this cool car that lets me walk around the house. She says she is not enocouraging me to walk any sooner then normal but she sure gets a kick out of watching me.
Just checking things out.
This is pretty easy.
I guess I spoke too soon.
Back on my feet again.
There are lots of road blocks in my house.

Halloween

My first Halloween and I am a giraffe, my mom says I am the cutest giraffe she has ever seen. I went trick or treating at a few houses and I managed to get quite a bit of candy. My mom is being pretty mean and will only let me try and little at a time, I think that's pretty unfair since I did all the work!!:) I did get to have a sucker though and it was sooooo good!

Giraffes can play the piano
