My Friend Ella

Last weekend I went to Winter Haven and got to see my friend Ella. We only got to talk for a few minutes but it was still lots of fun. Then, Nana and Papa came to visit me on Thursday so we could all celebrate our birthdays. I was so excited to have new people to read to me!

On My Boat with Mommy & Daddy

I went out on the boat with my Mommy and Daddy today! We went up St. Johns River and fished and played on the beach for a little while. I stayed awake for most of it and just took a little catnap on the ride back in. We also got some ice cream and Mommy & Daddy let me try it for the first time. I liked Daddy's chocolate ice cream more than Mommy's vanilla!

I'm walking around like a pro now and even played at the playground at the mall on Saturday! It was lots of fun! Even when I fell and cut my lip, I didn't stop. I was definitely the smallest kid running around the playground but I held my own...

Lake Virginia

This weekend Mommy and Daddy took me out to Lake Virginia to play with my friend Noel. Daddy brought our boat and we went for a fun ride. I slept through most of it, though. I went swimming and played in the sand for the first time. It kept me entertained and happy for the whole day! Everyone said I was such a good girl!

Happy Birthday to Me!

I turned ONE today! I had a big party yesterday with ALL my cousins and friends. My mom said it was utter chaos but I had lots of fun and got bunches of toys to play with. Mommy made me a special cake that was so good even the adults ate some. Here are some pictures of my birthday.

I'm walking!

We just relaxed this weekend to get ready for the busy weeks we have coming up. Here are a few shots of me practicing walking. I pretty much have a bruise somewhere on my body at all times but I'm getting better everyday!

Babysitting Noel

Saturday I helped my Mommy and Daddy watch my friend Noel. We went swimming and played all day long. I like to steal his binkie but he is so sweet and always puts mine back in for me.

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July! Mommy and I stayed home tonight because we both have been a little bit sick. I still got to wear my red, white, and blue outfit that I got from my Nana, though! Daddy made some boiled peanuts to help us celebrate but Mommy wouldn't let me eat them.

Guess what I did yesterday? I took my first real steps! Now, when Mommy or Daddy calls me, I can walk over to them! I'm such a big girl!

Grandpa's Day Celebration

This weekend I went to Winter Haven with my cousin Haylee. We celebrated Father's Day with Papa and ate lots of food! We had tons of fun playing. I even learned how to climb! I can get into a walker all by myself...

Here I am!

My mom didn't really know what a blog was a few months ago so bear with her as she figures this out! She promised to keep it updated as best she could! I have a big vacation and an even bigger birthday coming up so there should be lots to post. Wish us luck!
