Busy Boy

o[poi][piu

I'm a busy boy. My Mommy tries to get a picture of me doing one thing, but I just keep on moving to the next thing. I am sure a busy little boy. I checked out my little rocker, my toy chest, all the balloons around the house and even had time to look out the window.

Doctor visit

I had my 12 month doctors' appointment this morning. I weighed in at 21lbs 10 oz, and 29.5 inches tall, 40th percentile for both. My head however was in the 60th percentile at 18.5 inches around..

The actual appointment was not fun. I got 3 vacines, the flu shot, and on top of that they made me go to the lab and take a blood sample. It took Mommy, 3 lab techs, and probably 15 minutes to get a small vial (I think it was huge, but Mommy tells me it was small) of blood out of my finger. The lab tech kept saying I've never had a baby so strong. I screamed until I was purple in the face. It was quite the ordeal. I came home and took a 3 hour nap. I feel quite a bit better now.

The doctor told my mommy that I could eat any food I wanted now that I'm 12 months old. This is a picture of my after my nap eating my very first peanut butter sandwich with a glass of milk. It was YUMMY!

My Cat

I really like Bandit, my cat, and am starting to be able to play with him a little bit. Here are a fwe pictures.

In this picture, I am petting him.


In this picture, I am trying to give him a kiss on his back.


This picture is how Bandit runs away from me after he has had enough!

First Birthday Cake!

We had lots of cake for my birthday. Mommy was letting me smell the cupcakes before the party to get me ready for my own cake. I was actually pretty neat with my cake. I didn't have to go to the bath tub afterwords, just a couple of washcloths!

First Birthday Party

Here's me at my first birthday party. I really liked the balloons. It was fun to carry them around from room to room. Most of the time, I couldn't see anything! Daddy also helped me open all of my presents. I really liked the bow that was on one of them. I really just ate it while Daddy opened the presents, but as you can see, I did help some too! Daddy said we are going to work on my present opening skills before Christmas! I had a great birthday. Thanks for everyone that was able to make it. I really liked playing with my cousins since they are my size.

Cousins

My cousins came last night for my first birthday. We really look like the Three Stooges. My oldest cousin, L.A. (wearing yellow) is 26 months, Lawrence (wearing cream) is 15 months, and I am wearing white and green and today is my 1 year birthday! I really like playing with my cousins!

Fat Lip

I fell today and cut my bottom lip open in a few spots with all of my front teeth. I guess I'm still not use to them being there! Here are a few pictures where you can kind-of see my lip.

Early morning

It was a really early morning today. Mommy took this picture before she woke me up. We had to get ready and take Daddy to the airport for his business trip to California. I was happy that I got to play with Daddy in the car before he had to leave.

Bedtime stories

Since Daddy is leaving in the morning, he read several bedtime stories to me. This book was funnier the first time he read it to me, but it was still pretty funny the second time he read it. Thanks for the good laugh Dad!

Foosball

I was practicing up on Foosball getting ready for my birthday party this weekend. Will someone come and help me take on my Daddy?

Yummy!

Mom and Dad had pasta with tomatos again tonight. I ate a LOT of food. I probably would have had more tomotatos, but I guess Daddy wanted to eat a few of them also. Here are a few pictures when I was all done. It was quite the mess, but it was sure yummy!

All dressed up and ready to run.....

Our sympathies go out to the Fegley family as their Grandpa/Father passed away earlier this week. Today we went to the funeral, but Mom and Dad thought I should run around a little bit before we got in the car to drive over to Pella. I sure liked running around. I wish the grass hadn't been so wet so that I could have been playing in it more!

Standing Tall

My firetruck is so much fun. Not only do I like to push it around the house, I also like standing in it!

Friends and Family

Daddy and Joe got back earlier than expected from their conference. They made it home intime for dinner with Allison. We had a lot of fun, but I think we were all pretty tired. It's been quite the week already.

Food!

I love food! Here are some pictures to help prove my point.


Here's a picture of me eating romen noodles last night when Daddy was gone. I made such a mess that I had to go directly to the bath following dinner. It was great!


Here is a picture of me from tonight eating some apple crisp. Boy oh boy do I love apple season now!
