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!

Happy Birthday to me!!
Today's my birthday and I've had so much fun already! Here I am in my birthday suit (I crawled away before Mommy could wrangle my clothes on this morning)

And here I am in my birthday shirt:
And here's a video of me playing peek-a-boo with Mommy:


I was hoping everybody could sign a birthday card for me- just go to this website and add a message to my card! Thanks!

Hi everyone!

In case you didn't know, I have a big birthday coming up in a couple of days. So I thought I'd show you what an almost one-year-old likes to do these days.

Here's one of my new favorite toys, the remote control:
I love reading books. A couple of times a day, I pull books off the shelf and sit down to read. I generally turn the pages backwards or hold the book upside down. I find the story is more interesting that way.




Eating is a lot more fun these days- I get to get my hands pretty dirty. Here are videos of me eating my favorite foods: peas and bananas.



My toes taste pretty good, too.


Peek-a-Boo is a really fun game, too. Here's a video of me playing. You can't see it in the video, but Daddy was hiding behind the couch.


Our cats Noodle and Calvin are fun to play with. They usually run away when I come their way, but Noodle let me get really close this morning.



I've been thinking about walking lately. I haven't been too into trying since I can crawl really fast. Plus, I can always get Mommy or Daddy to pick me up. But here's a video of a tiny step I took. (UPDATE- I wrote that yesterday, but today, I took 4 steps!!! Mommy didn't get a video of it, but I'll keep trying!)




And finally, here I am playing in my rocking chair. I have a little trouble getting out of the chair, but it's fun most of the time.
