My 1 Year Old Birthday Party - Austin

I can't believe I'm already 1! I had two parties (one in Austin, one in Dallas). This posting is a summary of my Austin party. My Day started with getting all dressed up, a "cupcake" bow in my hair and some cheerios and banana puffs. I have no idea what's about to take place!

Mommy made chocolate cupcakes with pink icing. Yummy! My first real sugar/dessert!

Happy Girl!

Summertime Videos

July 15 - A lucky telemarketer called and Dad handed me the phone. Although you can't quite hear what she is saying, everytime I would say "aaaaa" or anything at all, she would offer the cheaper donation option ("perhaps you would like to donate the gold package instead of the platinum," for example). Quite hysterical - at least for Mommy and Daddy.

August 21 - I was OVERTIRED and had the giggles at bedtime.

Summertime Pics and Memories

Mom said she will try to get more postings, more frequently! In the meantime here are some fun moments from the end of summer!

June 16 - "Get me outta here!" I am sitting up really well, but sometimes fall over. So mom puts me in the travel crib to play.
June 17 - I LOVE to stand! Using a little help of course.

June 20 - Happy Father's Day! I'm "Wild about Daddy". We took a boat ride out that day too!

June 24 - I am getting really good at standing up along the couch and cruising!June 29 -Uh oh! I'm pulling myself up and standing in the crib - time to lower the mattress! And bath time is still my favorite activity of the day.

July 1 - Me, Daddy & Aunt Rachel!

July 4 Weekend & 10 Months Old! Here I am in Port Aransas with my boyfriend Peter Zoch. We had the best time ever playing together!

July 5 - I love the Jumparoo! Today is the day I really began crawling across the room. I've been scooting around for a few weeks but now I'm officially MOBILE.

July 25 - We had a swim date at Harper's house with baby Rome, Harper, Jackie & Mila!

11 Months Old! August 3, 2010. Here I am showing off my two bottom teeth and how I like to DIG IN to the peas and chicken. Yummmm.

August 24 - I've officially discovered the stairs! How funny I am.

Beginning of Summer!

Summertime! I still have not gotten any other teeth in (just my bottom two at 5 months), but I am getting bigger and scooting around (not crawling yet...but very close!). I'm eating lots of new mushy foods that Mom makes me, and luckily I'm not a picky eater.

June 1, 2010 - Here I am at Gymboree!

After a work meeting, Daddy, Colin and I are hanging out on the porch.

Me and Daddy...and my cute toes.

I've been trying really hard to stand up (with a little help).

Me and my friend Chance. He's pretty cute too.

Me and my neighbor Burks. He is super cool.

A quick visit to Dallas - me and Great Gramps! He taught me how to play cards.

Grandpa Ben feeding me. Yummy sweet potatoes! Actually I'll eat anything.

9 months old (June 3, 2010). This is my play area at home.
Luckily I'm not crawling just yet, so I stay put pretty well.
I use the pillow behind to catch my occasional fall - ouchie.

Springtime Fun!

Sitting up all by myself! This picture was taken around 6 months old.

Don't you love my big open smile!?

I love the Jumparoo!

And sometimes I love my Classical Baby DVD's.
I don't watch tv much, but when I do it's soooo captivating! I have a lot of pillows surrounding me because when I sit up I sometimes fall face down. Ouch!

Grandma Aya feeding me yummy pureed food! I am NOT a picky eater.

Me at Gymboree! We sing and play - it's my favorite activity all week!

Me and Mimi playing!

Me at the Botanical Gardens in Dallas!
I like to sit up in my infant car seat, because I'm a big girl now.
