I'm helpfuls.

Today I helped daddy with my dresser. There was so much stuff in it and I just KNEW he wanted it to be an empty drawer. So I helped. I really got in there to clear things out for Daddy.

Rahrrrr!

I'm a dragon!!! Or at least I was for the Halloween party I went to last week. It was lots of fun. I had my first taste of non-watered down apple juice. I drank every last drop of it!

One-Year Photos

We got the photos from my fancy photo shoot today. Here are some of Mommy's favorites:

Ride 'em Cowboy!

Rod and Colletta got me a pony for my birthday! I love it so much, and want to play on it all the time. It's so fun for bouncing!

Photos from Aunt Jennifer

We were in Wisconsin last weekend, but Mommy didn't bring the camera, so we don't have many pictures. Luckily, Aunt Jennifer took some photos of me, so I can at least post SOME cute pics of yours truly.





I love pillows!

How Cute Am I?

We had photos taken last Saturday in honor of my very first birthday. Here's a link to our photographer's blog for a sneak preview of the photos!

It's Rocktober!!!

Forget FFA, I'm gonna join FRA. That's Future Rockstars of America for you future farmers...

Just Cuz I'm Cute

And in case you didn't catch my shirt in the previous pic...

So Long, Harvard!

I've figured out this television thing, so I won't be needing college. But thanks!

I'm Feeling MUCH Better, Thanks.

Remember how I had to go to the hospital?





Well, I'm feeling much better now. I'm back to my usual self, only now with new and improved STANDING!

Mommy likes this picture because we look so small.



But I like this one because you can see me better!



I got so tuckered out from standing that I fell asleep holding my own foot!



This week I got a birthday present in the mail from Aunt Darcy and Uncle Rich. It's so COOL! I can use it to stand and walk.




I can put stuff in it, like plastic shapes. Or socks!



And I can even ride on it!



Isn't it cool?



You're jealous, aren't you?

Happy Birthday to ME!!!

Mommy and Daddy had this great party planned for my first birthday. All my friends and family were going to be there, and I was going to be the star of the show!

I had different plans.

My plans involved a fever of 104, tummy issues (I'll leave it at that for you...), and what turned out to be a wicked ear infection. Instead of driving to Madison for my party, last night we drove to the Children's Emergency Room! I still had some fun there. I'll have Daddy upload some pics of that later. Mommy and Daddy were joking around about how since we spent last year in the hospital on the night before my birthday, and we spent time there this year too, maybe we should do it every year! I'm pretty sure they were joking though.

So instead of my grand fete, we had a much smaller affair today with Mommy, Daddy, and Grandpa and Nana, who drove up to see me. I was feeling better today, but I'm still sick and it hurts to suck on a bottle or sippy. So Mommy decided to feed me with a syringe! It took longer, but it got the job done.

Anyhow, here are some photos of my smaller big day!




























What do you mean there's no more cake?!?
