I'm 1!

I turned 1 last week! It's been the fastest year of my life...and the slowest. The first four months were really, really slow...painfully slow, but the last eight months have been a blur.

Here are some pictures from my birthday parties. The first three pictures are from my actual birthday. Mom and dad had a little party for me with meme and da. The rest of the pictures are from my big birthday party with the rest of my family and friends. Here are some initial pictures. I'll post some more as mom and dad get pictures from my aunts and uncles (I think a million were made).

Here's my first taste of sugar at the birthday party with mom and dad. I liked the way the cake and icing felt. I didn't care for the taste.




Here I am at my big party. Everyone wanted me to dig in, but the cake was too pretty to eat. All those people singing happy birthday was also a little startling. This time around, I liked the sugar a little more. I even started using a fork!







Here I am opening my gifts (after a quick change of clothes). My five cousins (all boys), really helped me :).



Avery gave me some cool blocks that I like to throw behind me. I think dad is going to like building towers for me.


Grammy gave me a doll.


Cousin Jacob gave me my first car. I love it. Mom and dad can now push me around for hours and hours.

Almost 1!

I'll be 1 in just three weeks! Here's what I've been up to lately...

Here I am in my Father's Day dress. Daddy was very proud of me



I'm so close to walking. I pull myself up all the time now and can stand against a table or chair with no problems


I love to be chased around by mommy. Here I am right before she catches me


I've been hanging out at the pool some



Here I am with my best friend, Avery


Here I am in my jogger. Sometimes I fall asleep, especially if dad takes me right after my bottle


Here I am with my uncle Matt and Nicole celebrating Matt’s graduation from college! Speaking of college, mom and dad would probably love any help with my college fund


See you soon!
(I bet there will be picture of me eating cake posted in a few weeks.)
