Happy 4th of July!!

Our friends came from Phoenix to stay with us for the weekend!! On Friday, we all drove to Newport Beach. The beach was so fun, but the 3 hour car ride was not!

This is my friend Gavin. We met him a few months ago but he slept the whole time! I was happy that he was big enough to play with me now!

I had sand EVERYWHERE!




Two tired babies after a long day at the beach!

On the 4th, we slept in (well...Gavin and I didn't but our mommy & daddy did!), had some breakfast and then went swimming!


We had a BBQ for dinner and then went out to the lake to watch fireworks!

Gavin & I were more interested in the glow bracelets our neighbor gave us!

After fireworks, we came home and had daddy's first ever batch of homemade chocolate ice cream! I was so happy they shared it with me! Good job daddy!!

Birthday Party #2

After Sunday School we drove up to LA to have another birthday party at my Gramma and Grandpa's house. Lots of my family came to celebrate with us!


My Grandpas...

and my grandmas!



We had yummy Hawaiian chicken burgers!







I got this new chair for my room...it's really fun to rock in it!

My cousin Hannah liked my new chair too!

Cake 2 days in a row?!? I could get used to this!


Eating cupcakes with Grandma Mac


I love my cousin Kimber!

Thanks Gramma for letting us come play!

Birthday Party #1

This party stuff is fun! We started the weekend off with pancakes at the park! Lots of my friends came with their mommies and daddies to play and eat breakfast! Thanks for coming everyone and thanks for my fun toys!!



I think Karsten liked the pancakes too!


Yummy...Chris shared his chocolate milk with me :)


This cake stuff is good :)

I was a little sad when it was all gone!


I had to learn my first lesson in sharing my new toys! It was fun playing with Katie though!

Happy Happy Birthday!!

I turned 1 year old today!

I had 2 fun birthday parties this weekend and got lots of FUN new toys! Today I went to the doctor...I weigh 20.4 lbs and am 28 1/2 inches tall! I still only have 2 teeth but only want to eat big people food...no more baby food for me!

Play Time

This is my friend Karsten - he likes to read me books and share his toys!


We may not look like it, but my cousin Hannah and I had lots of fun in the pool :)

Mommy's Little Helper

I like helping mommy when she does laundry...apparently my shirt was in the wash!

Wee...laundry basket rides are so fun!

Not a Fan

I learned last week that I am NOT a fan of loud thunder or hail! I screamed every time I heard it and didn't appreciate mommy taking me outside to watch it fall!

Exhausted...

after a long day!

11 Months Old

Can you believe it...one more month and I'll be 1 year old!!


I've been keeping mommy and daddy on their toes these last few weeks! Here are a few of my tricks:

• I crawl all over the place and get into everything!
• I pull myself up on any piece of furniture I can find and walk all around it
• I'm getting pretty quick at walking if someone holds my hand
• I know what dogs and cows say
  
• I love to give Eskimo kisses and real kisses too
• I can say "Da Da" "Ma Ma" and "Ba Ba"
• I discovered it's really fun to hold onto my crib rails and jump
• I have a VERY loud voice and like everyone to hear me squeal when I'm excited!
