Party Time

Mama told me about this "birthday week" thing she likes to do (celebrate for a whole week just for a birthday!) and I am beginning to really like it! But I am not just getting to celebrate for a week, but almost for a whole month! I could really get used to this!


Mama and Dada had a party for me at Potomack Lakes Sportsplex on Sat., June 30th. Wow...it was so much fun to see all my friends come. Aunt Lindsey and Josh came too! Let's see...we had John, Beth, Jonathan, Mia, and Sophie Lossing, Jen and Mark Whittenberg (plus a friend of Jen's), Susan, Abby, and Kimmy Fisher, Cyndy, Jeremy, Mackenzie, and Caleb Oliver, Whitney and Wesley Cook, Katie and Kevin Compton, Troy and Colin Harris (plus Troy's older son), Susan, Josh, and Adam Thomas, Darren, Minta, and Evan Cole, Mark and Sara Bateman, Kathy, Brian, Caleb, and Megan James, Jonathan and Sara Grace Dancy, Steve and Karyn Hatch, AND Colette and Daniel Cochran. It was unbelievable! I really missed having the Meisters and the Jones, though.

Mama and Josh had set everything up under the pavilion when I arrived with Dada and Aunt Lindsey. It was all so bright with polka dots everywhere! There were pretzels and Goldfish to snack on and water and juice to drink. Mama borrowed a bubble machine from Lara Jones and it was a hit with some of my friends. Sara Grace and Daniel really loved them! Cyndy and Jeremy made me the best-looking cake I have ever seen! Mama set some pictures of me from my first year of life behind the cake for everyone to see. I kinda liked hearing "ooh...she is so cute!"


Once most people got there, Dada took me to swing. I really like swinging. I even like giving High-5's when I am in the air! My friend, Wesley, didn't really enjoy swinging so much. Maybe I should give her a few pointers and show her that it is really not that scary...

Then we had pizza and grapes. Yummmm...I really have a thing for cheese pizza! I did eat a whole piece, but quite a bit of it landed on my shirt...oops, Mama and Dada forgot a bib! ;) I also discovered how much I love purple grapes! Last time I had grapes, Gigi had peeled and cut them all for me. I wonder why Mama never did that for me??!!?? But, I can handle the grape skins now and I love them! I had the best seat in the house! I sat in my booster seat on top of the table and could keep an eye on the whole place!

After lunch, we had cake. I didn't know what and the singing and staring was about...I don't know if I like all that attention! But, I did like having cake for the 3rd time in less than a month! I am still not a huge fan of icing, but I like the cake part.



After cake, I opened a few presents at the park. I opened the rest when I got home. All my friends were so nice to me and gave me really fun toys, puzzles, and books! Lindsey gave me a really cute outfit!










Whew-what a day! I was so tired and I was pretty sure Mama, Dada, Lindsey, and Josh were too!

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

Can you believe that I'm one year old? I really can't--this year has really flown by! I'm sorry it's been longer than a week since my last post--I've just been so busy planning my birthday party, which is this Saturday at Potomack Lakes Sportsplex Playground. My mama's been working her tail off too, getting everything ready and organized! Today was wonderful (except for about an hour and a half right in the middle--more on that later)! I woke up this morning and Dada was still here--I woke up to him and Mama singing Happy Birthday to me! After that, Mama and I hung out and Dada went to work. We had a really fun morning--I lotioned my skin and brushed my hair, had breakfast and a bottle, and played. After that, I took a nice, long two-hour nap. So relaxing! Then the not-so-fun part of my day started. Mama loaded me up in the car and drove me to Dr. Fischelberg's office. Dada met us there, so I knew this was not going to be fun (if it was going to be a quick t...

Trip to the big "D"

Image
Well, I am back from Dallas. I had a really good time seeing all my family! Mama and Dada kept me really busy! On the flight to Dallas, I was proud of myself...I did really well for being a kid who likes to crawl and move a lot! Dada walked me up and down the aisles and I made a few friends while I was at it! All kinds of people think I am pretty cute and I have to agree with them! When I got to Grammy's house on Thursday, I thought I had died and gone to heaven! There was so much floor to crawl on!!! Even though it was hardwood, I surprised everyone as I went in circles around the kitchen and through the bedrooms. I found I new game I really like...I find something with a smooth bottom and while I am on my knees, I push it around on floor (like I did with the laundry basket!). Very fun game! Oh...and I loved seeing Maggie...aka "baaboo". (That's what I call puppies right now!) We were good playmates for the weekend. I also went swimming! I really was a great swimmer ...

More Broccoli Please!!

Image
Tonight was such a big night...I just had to write to tell everyone about it! After I finished my dinner of chicken, cheese, bananas, grapes, and watermelon I played a little on the floor. Mama and Dada were fixing their dinner...salmon, wild rice, and broccoli. They sat down on the couch to eat while I played, but I started smelling something quite delicious from their plates! I stood up by Mama and started reaching for her food, in hopes she would share some with me. I really wanted to try the "adult" food. First, she gave me some rice on her fork and I loved it. She gave me more and more, but I noticed something green on her plate...it looked like a tree. I reached for it and she said "I don't think you are going to like this" but she let me try it anyways. I LOVE BROCCOLI!!! It had a little lemon juice on it and I thought it was great! I kept asking...whining...reaching for more and she was so happy that I liked it so much. Then, I saw that Dada had some gre...
