Hi everyone!
Lately it's been hard to snap a picture of me (maybe because I never stay still for too long), but here are some pictures of me hanging around the house that Mommy did manage to get.

Here's me in my toy basket. I like to empty it out and then sit in it.

Still practicing for the Olympics...

I love my cats! I love to follow them around the house (sometimes while holding on to their tails). I love to pet them. For some reason, Mommy and Daddy keep saying "Gentle!" when I pet them. Lately, I like to show my love by resting my head on their soft fur. Noodle seems to appreciate my attentions, but Calvin tends to stay away.
Just in case my gymnastics career doesn't work out, I've been thinking of becoming a baker. Here I am getting everything organized.

Turner Field

Hi folks!
On Saturday, we went to Turner Field.

It was pretty cool. There was nice green grass and fun seats. I met lots of nice people who were sitting around us.

It was a good thing we had a whole row to ourselves, because I didn't really like sitting down. I ran up and down the row most of the time. But every once in a while, everybody would stand up and clap. That part was fun!

Between the exciting parts, I read a book.

After a while, Mommy must have been tired of watching the grass, so we went to "Tooner Field"- a cartoon place for kids. I liked running around. Then we went home!
Hold the phone! Daddy just informed me there was a game called "baseball" being played on the grass. I saw the guys out there, but I didn't pay much attention to them. The seats were so much more exciting!

My Buddies

Hi everyone!
I've been having a lot of fun playing with my friends, so I wanted you to meet them.

First, here's Baby Owen. He lives right next door, so I get to see him a lot. He's only a baby, so I'm going to have to teach him how to be a big kid. He has his own blog. You should check it out:
http://owenflake.blogspot.com/. He's a pretty good writer for a baby!
Here I am giving him a kiss. I'm sure he didn't mind the slobber.

Here's Owen taking a nap. He must be dreaming about all the fun we have together. Isn't he cute?
Next, here's my buddy Chase. His mommy, Ms. Jen, and my mommy used to teach at the same school. Chase and I have been hanging out since we were just little babies. Now we're both one year old. His birthday was just this week.
Chase is a little bit younger than me, but he's bigger! Now that we're both moving around, I think we're going to have some fun getting into trouble together.
Some of my other friends, the Burns, got a new puppy named Ruby. Since I like to play with all sorts of doors, Ruby's cage was the perfect toy. Maggie and Nate got in with me.

I have some pretty cool friends, but I like to play alone, too. Sometimes, in the afternoons, Mommy fills up the little pool on our deck. I love playing in it. Here I am with some of my pool gear.

Here's a video of me playing in my pool.

One day I dragged the whole pool inside to play in it. I thought it was hilarious, but Mommy was just thankful there was no water in it. I like putting all my toys in it and then throwing them out.

And here's a video of me in a cool hat I got from Mommy's friend, Ms. Megan. Pretty stylish, eh?

I'm going to a baseball game tomorrow, so hopefully I'll have some pictures to share later. Check back soon!

Hi everyone!

This week I've been pretty bored with all the nice toys I have, so I looked around the house for other things to occupy my time. This colander was good for a few laughs:

Mommy and Daddy got a new computer. I got a new box!

I'm planning on entering the 2028 Olympics. Here's my signature move:

I also found a new place to hide:

Don't believe what Mommy says- I didn't do it:

After my adventures in gardening, I got a bath. Daddy tried to teach me my numbers through osmosis- I think some of it definitely sunk in!

Have a good weekend everybody!

Hi everyone!

Here's a video of what I've been up to lately- mostly walking! I've been working on it since my birthday and I'm getting really good at it. I hardly ever fall now. Sometimes I wobble, but mostly I stay up. I like to walk up and down our hallway- it's good exercise. My favorite place to go is out on our deck. There's lots of cool stuff to play with out there. Hope you enjoy my movie of what I did today!

Hi folks!

I've been really busy lately, and here are some pictures from my travels. First, Mommy and I went to San Diego to surprise Great-Grandma Maggie for her birthday. She was pretty surprised!

We did lots of fun stuff when we were in San Diego, but I really had a lot of fun playing with the sprinklers.

I also had a lot of fun playing with my cousins, Ellie and Natalie (I think they're my first cousins once removed, but I'm not sure). One of their favorite things to do is to dance to "Mamma Mia!" Here's a picture of me with Natalie (she's dancing, I'm walking around trying to steal her "microphone").

We had a fabulous time in San Diego, I can't wait to go back!

After San Diego, I flew to Arizona to attend the Park family reunion. I got to meet lots of family members for the first time.

Here I am with Grandpa Steve, Great Grandpa, Great Uncle Larry and my second counsins.

And here's my Dad, my Uncles and my Great Grandpa.

While in Arizona, we went to the town too tough to die - Tombstone. They had a great big parade with lots of horses and people dressed up in funny clothes. Grandma and I clapped for them when they passed by.


Here I am sitting on top of a pretend bull while Uncle Kevin tries to lasso me.

And here I am at the O.K. Corral.

While in Tombstone, we got caught in a huge thunderstorm. I don't know why people think it's dry in Arizona. My Grandpa had to rush me to cover, but I enjoyed being carried through the rain. Once we got under the covered sidewalk, I was able to walk by myself. I like to hold Grandpa's hand, though, for balance.

Here I am playing in the mud after the thunderstorm.

Eventually, we had to go back home to Atlanta. I really enjoyed Arizona and hope I get to go back there soon. Here I am saying goodbye to Great Grandpa.

See ya later,

Hi everyone!
Here are pictures from my birthday (sorry it took so long to put these up, our computer has been in the shop).

Thanks so much to everyone for all my cool presents and cards. I'm having a ton of fun playing with all my new toys.

Here's a video of my first cupcake. I was excited about trying one, but I didn't realize icing would be part of the deal.

Here are some pictures from my birthday party last Saturday. I had a blast. A lot of my friends came over to help me celebrate.

I tried another cupcake at my party, and it wasn't too bad!


And here I am in my cool new Batman pajamas- check out my cape!
(By the way- you can see most of my teeth in this picture. I actually have four teeth now- two on the bottom and two new ones on the top)

Thanks to all of my friends and family for making my birthday special! I love you all!
