WELL... it only took me a year and a week...

BUT, I am now officially walking.

I would like to credit my cousin/best friend West

for teaching me the tricks.

Now that I am up, nothing will keep me down!!

I think the spoon helps me to keep

my balance... although mommy told me its not safe...

Mama thought she had her hands full before...

but now LOOK OUT!!

So much to do and see from up here!

I must say that I am quite proud of myself!!!

Road Trip!!!!

This weekend mommy and I went with

her WHOLE family down to Portland

to my Auntie and Uncle's house for Easter!

I had so much fun playing with my cousins

fabulous ball pit, thank you for sharing

your toys with me and for giving me the

vacuum, I already cleaned for mommy!!

Some of the highlights...

We had the most amazing time playing together and exploring everything at three different playgrounds!!

Easter in Portland

I am quite the daredevil when it comes to the slide...

I insist on riding alone and enjoy the occasional

head first dive down the slide!

A playground, my best friend West and TWO grandma Joyces!!!

I don't think my day could have gotten much better!

I LOVED the swing!

Here are Grandma and I playing in the dirt!

Since it was a little chilly today, I decided to stay inside and play with all of my toys, new and old! I even took my lovely teddy for a little ride around the house!

I have so many new things to play with from my birthday, thanks again everyone!!!

What a wonderful day!

It's my party...

Here is Elmo before I

got my hands on him!

It was definitely worth the mess!

Can't wait to do it next year!

birthday fun!

The Aquarium!

It's my birthday you say???

Hip Hip Hooray!

Let's head on down to the

Aquarium for the day!

The fish were cool,

but I dare say we came all the way

to Seattle for me to play with these lights!

I LOVED the pools!

Here fishy fishy...

Oh how the time flies by....

on my last day of being a true baby,

mommy and daddy took me to

Whatcom Falls...

I LOVED it!

What a way to start my birthday celebration!

big boy business...

So much to do, and so little time during the day

in which to make a mess!

Nothing like some cheetos

to help a boy grow big and strong!

Time to relax in my big boy chair,

my mommy used to sit in this when

she was my age!!

Long time gone!!

Well, my mommy may officially be the world's worst blogger....

(Which just might have something to do with the fact that I am going through my electronics obsession phase and broke our camera...)

By the way... THANK YOU to my fabulously wonderfully great aunties Nancy and Loretta!!!

BUT, she is very good at keeping me entertained!

Here I am tearing it up and learning all sorts of new tricks at the Children's Museum!

I promise to try and contain my impulses when I spot the camera in the future, and my mommy promises to continue posting more of my life as my first year comes to an end already!!!
