Happy 1st Birthday to Me!

We celebrated my birthday today! It was GREAT! I really liked the presents (of course the boxes were the best part), and I enjoyed my cake too.

Since Uncle Jay's birthday was this week too, we celebrated both. Isn't it great that the cakes works for both of us?? My cake was the Elmo cupcake that Amanda made for me. See below to find out how I liked it...

Yep, I liked it!

Here is the Elmo balloon that I wasn't too sure about. I think Mom really got it for herself!

Mom tried to get a picture of me and Uncle Jay. Uncle Jay is sitting in my chair and everything, but I wouldn't cooperate! I am a toddler now you know...I'm not supposed to sit still!

New Tricks

Here are a couple of tricks I have learned in the past week. I FINALLY learned to clap! Mom doesn't know that I actually knew how a long time ago; I was just waiting for the right toy to use it on.

I also started to initiate playing peek a boo. I don't need an adult to start the fun. I can do it myself!

Our House

I told Mom that we had to put some pictures up of our new house since she hasn't really showed the rooms. Here are a few....

Here is the Master Bedroom...

The Kitchen...

Looking at the Kitchen from the Family Room...(the fireplace is on the right side)

The Dining Room aka My Playroom (Mom says it won't always be that, but I think I convince her to keep it a playroom)...

The Living Room (aka My OTHER playroom)...

My room still isn't done, and neither is the office so those rooms will be posted when they are closer to finished!

Moving

Here are a few random pictures from before we moved. I don't miss our old apartment at all! I had no idea how much space a house has!

OK, I kind of miss the deer on the wall...especially when Uncle Jay was here because then I could touch it!




I was helping do laundry...



Dad and I like to wrestle. Dad was winning this time, but as you can see it doesn't bother me at all! I need my daily wrestle or I get ornery!

Finally, an update!

Well, I am all moved in now and Mom FINALLY found her camera cord so I can show you some pictures of me in my new house and what I have been doing the last month. I really like my new house. I get to walk A LOT (holding onto Mom or Dad's hands) because there is so much to see. I know where the doors to outside are (I want to go to those often), and I know which room is my bedroom (I don' t want to go there because it might mean nap time).

Here I am walking around my new living room...


I was helping unpack and found out that empty boxes are fun to play in!

Here is one of my latest tricks...SO BIG!

Here I am on my deck. I love to play outside, especially when Dad gives me twigs to play with!

I like to climb on stuff and see what everything is. Grandma was helping me...

My new army crawl!

Here is some video of my new army crawl. I haven't figured out how to use both legs yet, so I kind of drag my left leg along and use my arms. For some reason, everyone laughs when I start crawling. It must be because I am super fast!

Busy Summer!

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. I have been very busy trying to walk (while holding onto someone's hands) and waving bye-bye. I also am helping Mom and Dad pack, and without me they wouldn't have much done yet. I am very good with boxes!



Here are some pictures from the past month...

I do a new smile where I scrunch my nose and show my teeth. Mom tried to get me doing it here, but I wouldn't quite let her! You can also see my newest haircut in this picture!


I was helping Mom in the kitchen and decided the chair was more fun to sit in when you are sitting sideways.



Here I am starting to crawl. I am finally starting to crawl a little bit, but for now it is more of an army crawl than a real crawl!
