Round and Round and Round it goes...Where it Stops... August 2007

I'm really excited for my first birthday tomorrow. Mostly for the chocolate cake.

Anyway, today my dad thought it would be fun to spin me around in the computer chair. After that, the next couple of times that I sat down, I thought it would be fun to try and repeat the thrilling experience by rotating myself around on the floor. But I soon realized that it just wasn't quite the same. Today I also decided to play peekaboo with the people that I saw outside from my bedroom window. I don't know why they didn't play back, but I might try it again:) Pictured here I am giving a power snuggle to my green bear and I'm kissing my reflection in the fireplace molding.

My First Word? - August 2007

Hi everyone. My mom seems convinced that my first word has been "hi!" I suprised her last week when I said it to the store clerk. Now I practice it on my friends and family. I think it's some sort of salutation. That's what I learned anyway from what my dad teaches me when we read together.

Toothless Wonder No More - July 2007

My first tooth finally cut through today. This picture is of me teething a few days ago on a drinking glass in preparation for my big tooth cutting today. I much prefer adult things, like drinking glasses, over those sippy cup contraptions.

What's Next, The Cookie Jar? - July 2007

I know that it's been a while since my last blog, so here's the latest update. I started to try out this crawling business that everyone keeps talking about on the same day that Grammy McReynolds had her birthday. I thought it would be a nice gift for her since my parents don't give me an allowance yet. I'm still perfecting it. Grammy McReynolds also visited me this past week and she taught me how to get into things when mommy wasn't looking (hence the photo). I've been teasing my parents that I'm going to get teeth soon, but I'm still a toothless wonder. And I've been to my first wedding...congrats Amy & Brian!

Swimming SUITS Me - June 2007

I went swimming today for the first time! Mom took me to the Mountlake Terrace Rec center where they have two kiddie pools. At first I wasn't quite thrilled at the prospect of swimming. But I soon got used to the splashing and screaming kids and decided to join in. My floatie swimsuit that grandma got for me was great for just lounging around. After 2 hours, 5 mouthfulls of water, and all the kicking and splashing that I could muster, we called it a day. Bath time tonight just won't be the same.

Sunshine On My Shoulder Makes Me Happy - May 2007

I went to Edmonds beach today with some friends of my moms and soaked in some reading and a few rays. Since I was at the beach, I thought it was only appropriate to read my "What Floats" book.
