Little Helper

I'm becoming quite the little helper. Here, let me show you:

I've taken up the sweeping.

Wow! It sure gets messy over by this highchair. Hmmm...

I help Mommy clean out her purse.

And I'm small enough to get in the super tight places.
See?

Look, I found my other shoe!


I told you I was a big helper!

I've even learned to fix Mr. Lion when he breaks down.

And I get to chill out with Dad after a long day of hard work. Whew!

Thought I'd throw a pretty flower in the mix.

...and let the gardening begin!

I'm sure I'll be a big help with that, too!

My Little Girl

This is my little girl, my daughter. She's not a baby anymore. Oh, I know she will always be my baby, but over the past few months, she has transformed from my sweet baby into my beautiful, active, walking, and jabbering little girl. I love it! She learns something new everyday and I learn something new about her everyday. The exciting journey of parenthood continues and life sitting down as we once knew it is long gone!

Finally...

Alright, no small talk. Let's get to the good stuff!

I like to play in my drawers. Why not, the toys play in there??

A busy girl has to take good naps. See, look at my sleepy face...


Shoes go on your...


Feet!


Some park adventures:

Me....and...my...shadow...


Hey! I'm talkin' to YOU!


I saw my friend Elise at the park and gave her a BIG hug!


(I got nothin' for this one, but it's funny...)


WEEEEEE

Water table or sand box?
Water table or sand box?
Water table or sand box?


Oh! Yeah for BOTH!


Just gettin' into a little mischief around the house...


I NEED whatever is in this bookshelf!


No, the chairs don't go at the table!


Whew! Gotta take a rest for now.

See ya later-gater!

Busy Girl

Hi! I've been a busy girl lately. Sorry for the lack of posts. Here's one shot for now and Mom will post more this evening. Really...she will!

That's the number of shots I got yesterday at the doctor.
Turning One Year Old has proven to be quite painful!

But since I was such a big girl, Mommy and Daddy took me to Chick-fil-A for a Big Girl Kids Meal afterward. Love those chicken nuggets!

Party Time!

Well, I turned another year old... okay, my first year old.

Where's the party at?

We had some wonderful friends and family come over to celebrate too! Lily and Allison are so cool to hang out with.

Can somebody please put a flame on that candle? We need to get the singing started.

Once the song is over... I get CHOCOLATE!
Yummy!

Thank you everyone for coming over and for these wonderful gifts.

A giraffe piggy bank... wait a minute... does that mean it's just a giraffe bank?

Oh, that fits perfectly!

Shhhhhh... I'm on the phone.

Let's try to find the best caption for this photo... too many to choose from :)

Aunt Laura - YOU ROCK!

Happy Birthday

I'm a year old today!!!

My parents keep talking about how they can't believe it... but I keep trying to tell them that's what happens when 365 days go by.

For my birthday, I got a backyard full of 10+ inches of snow to play in... and frontyard and roof and trees and streets - pretty much everything is covered in snow today!

The Weekend

I had a big weekend. Sit back, relax. Let me tell ya all about it.

Hang on...my show is almost over...

O.k., so. Friday night my gal pal Abigail came over. She brought her parents and we all had fun.
Pinky Bear joined us too.

On Saturday, MawMaw and PawPaw came to visit. Good stuff!

LOTS of sugars! Lots!

And I learned that if I'm just cute enough and fuss just enough...Daddy will share his ice cream.
NICE!

Does this hat look good on me?
Everyone should end their weekend with a nice, warm bath!
