My Birthday Party!

YAY for the birthday girl! Here are some cute pictures from my birthday party! It was a full house with almost 40 people! We had a blast!

This is a silly hat that Great Grandma Connie and Great Great Grandma Helen sent to me! It says, First Birthday and has a candle on top!

I got lots of really cool presents! I got books, baby dolls, a swing for outside, a pretty bracelet, and some neat learning toys!


Daddy made me my pinata! It was a huge cupcake and all the kids got to pull strings and get candy! The best part, was that Daddy and Mommy let me have some candy too!

These are my birthday cakes! For my cupcake theme, we had a huge cupcake printed on my cake with my picture and then I had a whole cake to myself! YUM!

Here is me with my face all messy with cake! I had fun at first, but then when I rubbed my eyes and got cake all over in my nose and ears, I started crying.

My 1 Year Appointment

On Tuesday, Mommy took me to my 1 year appointment to see how I am growing! It is about 2 1/2 weeks early, but we had to go before we left for KC in a couple weeks. So here are my new stats:

Weight at birth: 5 lbs, 15 oz (3%)

Weight now: 19 lbs even (25%)

Length at birth: 18.5 inches (5%)

Length now: 26 inches (10%)

The Doctor says I am growing well! However, I may be a little behind in some areas like clapping and copying other people. She is not worried because I still have a couple weeks before my birthday.

Playin' with Daddy!

Here is Daddy giving me and Eli an "elephant" ride! Remember when Daddy did this Eli?? http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2997/2583/1600/IMG_1596.1.jpg
Well, now he has TWO of us to cart around!

He we are rolling around on the floor playing! We love to gang up on Daddy!

(He won't admit it, but we beat him up all the time! Hehe)

My First Birthday Presents!

I got to open my first presents on Thursday last week. They were my gifts from Great Grandma Connie and Great Great Grandma Helen. I got some super cute things for my birthday party and a really pretty gold bracelet. Thanks guys!

Will I Ever Learn?

One of my favortie things to do is go to the toybox and empty out ALL of the toys. However, when the last couple of toys are way down in the bottom, I have a hard time reaching them....
Sometimes this happens.... I tip too far in and get stuck! I can't reach the bottom with my hands, and my feet don't touch the floor! Mommy wonders if I will ever learn.

My First Steps!

About 1 1/2 weeks ago, I took my first steps. As opposed to Eli who took his first steps towards Mommy, I took my first steps towards my Daddy! Since this video, I have gotten even better! I can take 6-7 steps all by myself.

Sorry the video is really short, it got cut off because the card ran out of memory in the middle! You can get the general idea though!
