Can you say bed head?!

Happy birthday Annalise

Celebrated with Annalise yesterday...she's one just like me!

Can't you tell we're BFFs?

My name is... daddy??

Honestly, I'm trying to say Daisy!  It just comes out wrong sometimes...



And here is my imitation of the "downward dog" yoga crawl!

My first haircut

Wonderful Miss Marsha gave me my first haircut today. The asymmetrical look is SO last season. Now I have a shaggy bob. :)

I love grapes

Go Team!

Daddy wrote Mommy an email today about how our family is like a team. Daddy says he and Mommy are the coaches and I am the free agent they picked up in the off-season. Here's my scouting report:

Solid 40 time, so long as she holds onto your hands 
Shows great promise and willingness to learn 
Slightly whiny when things don't go her way which she will need to work on

Has a tendency to blow kisses to everyone on the field

In other "go team" news, it's March Madness time! This is the first time Daddy's team has ever made it to the NCAA tournament and they won their play-in game. I must be good luck!

Breakfast with Uncle Jesse!

Buba and Jesse and I went to the Original Pancake House this morning.

My birthday party

 Today we celebrated my birthday! To be honest, I didn't feel great, but I managed to put on a smile and enjoy myself.

Check out my balloons. Gpa gave them to Buba for her birthday (which was on Thursday) and then she re-gifted them to me. :)

 

Riley helped me blow out the candle...

...on my special birthday cake! It was my first time trying cake (or any treats, for that matter).  haven't been eating much lately, but I did have a few little bites of carrot cake.

 Here's the "first bite" photo series:

 

 

 

And some more pics from the party and a few from yesterday:

 

 

 

Turning 1

Today I turned ONE!

My birthday party is tomorrow, so the cake and festivities are on hold until then.

I've been sick--for the first time ever. But I finally started recovering from whatever I had (cold, virus, really bad teething?!?!) and I'm feeling much better. With Grammy and Papa in town, I had to rally!

Sleeping on Grammy when I wasn't feeling well:

Birthday shopping spree at Toys R Us. Grammy bought me blocks and new stacking cups!:

Playing with my awesome birthday gift from cousin Austin:

Now that I'm one, I guess it's time for a hobby. Photography it is! 

The Polish forehead thing

Buba's mommy, my great-grandmother Irene, did this same thing with my mommy when she was little!  It's Polish for something-or-other...

Look Mommy! One hand!!

Mommy-daughter trip

Mommy and I went up to LA for the weekend. It was our first mommy-daughter trip and it was really fun.

Touching a starfish!
