Day 367 Christmas #2!

Starting today I am officially on my second go around! Today marked Christmas #2. Despite all the cool presents from family, friends and Santa my favorite was the box it all came in! Click here for all the pics!

Day 366: Officially One!

Today I am officially one! I had a great time with Aunt Catie, Uncle Brian and both sets of grandparents here to celebrate with me! As always I have plenty of pictures thanks to my shutterfly father! Check them out here.

Day 360: Birthday Bash!

Today a bunch of my friends came over to help me celebrate Year One! I had a raucous good time playing with kids and adults alike. Check out the pics here.

Day 341: A Cold Walk in New Bern...

Day 340: They couldn't wait for Christmas

Day 339: Happy Turkey Day

We had Thanksgiving with Nin and Pop and I really enjoyed my mashed potatoes.

Yum
Yum
Yum!

Day 338: Napping with Uncle Brian

I decided today I didn't want to take a nap for anyone. Grandma and Pop even took me for a walk to put me to bed with no dice. It wasn't until poor Uncle Brian got stuck carrying me up the LONG driveway did I decide to take a nap. Thanks for holding me Uncle Brian!

Day 334: Helping with laundry

Here I am helping mommy with laundry!

Day 327: A shot with the visitors before they left....

Day 326: Zoo with the Girls

I had a lot of visitors this weekend since dad was supposed to be away. After having two full days of Madelyn days (with Maddie and Grandma), we shared with more family for the weekend. Dad was a little overwhelmed with all the women! It was Grandma, Aunt Joanne, Aunt Jane, Cary, Maddie and Hope. Today we went to the National Zoo in DC. Cary pushed me through the zoo in my BOB stroller.
We saw pandas and elephants!
Here we are hanging out at the zoo.
Smile! Me with all my visitors.
After the zoo we went to Jason's deli for lunch. I really enjoyed my ice cream cone.
Grandma tried to turn the cone for me and I was not having it.
Yummy! =)

Day 323: Multi Tasking

Daddy and I have a night time routine. He brings me upstairs, undresses me, starts the water then when it warms up plops me down when he puts the stopper in. I am still trying to figure out why I can't climb up the water into the spout!

Now that I have all these chompers as mommy calls them I need to brush my teeth. To avoid getting tooth paste everywhere dad just gives me the toothbrush in the tub so I can brush my teeth while playing!

Day 313: A few Halloween Pictures

Here I am with the other ladybug on the block, Kaelin.I was trying to scoot off the front steps.
Daddy and Mommy let me have my first lollipop.

It was delicious. Thank you Miss Helen for that special treat.
Believe me, I got to the Tootsie Roll center before they took it away.
I was NOT happy when they took it away - no pictures of that since it took both of them to get it out of my hands.
Thanks for this Halloween bib Gramma and Pap!

Daddy dressed up like the mujahideen.
Crawling around...

Day 312: So Big

I have been getting sick to my tummy for two days now, but luckily Daddy is still home to help Mommy take care of me. I made sure that he felt just as loved as Mommy by throwing up on him more times than on her!

Even though I have been feeling icky, I have been showing off some of my new skills for everyone. My new favorite trick is "So Big" - an Aunt Mair favorite. I can even do this trick while in my bouncer!

Day 306: New Form of Transportation

Daddy decided he would multitask tonight and carry me up IN the laundry basket. I loved it. Luckily I held on tight or I could have fallen out.
Thanks for the ride, dad. I love you!

Day 306: First Smiley Face Cookie

First things first...today I'm 10 months old!

Gramma and Pap brought a great treat to celebrate a Steelers win today. My first Smiley face cookie from Eat N Park!It was absolutely wonderful! I ate almost all of mommy's half of the cookie.
Thank you Gramma and Pap for also bringing Halloween Smiley Face cookies to share with my friends at daycare. I'm sure they will be a hit tomorrow when I bring them to share.

Day 305: Fall Festival

Today Mom, Dad Gramma and Pap took me to the Cox Farm's Fall Festival. I had an amazing time visiting with the animals, playing with the pumpkins, going on a hay ride and sliding down the slide with Mom Dad and Pap! You can check out the pics here in my Fall album.

Day 302: The great pumpkin

Mom and Dad let me play out front today in my pumpkin outfit. I even got to hang out with the great inflatable pumpkin! Click here to see the best of from today's photo shoot!

Day 298: Mimicking Maz

I love to copy what Mom and Dad are doing. Clapping hands, chewing and smiling. But my new favorite thing to mimic is my dog, Maz. He loves to walk around with toys in his mouth - so I do now too. Tonight I crawled through the entire house with my bathtub turtle in my mouth. Note the large scratch I gave myself in my sleep last night.
Luckily I have stayed away from Maz's ball as of yet - Mom might have a heart attack if I put that in my mouth!
Woof Woof!

Day 292: Beach in October!

Emerald Isle, NC

85 degrees in October!
