Play Time

This new house is great. There are boxes of toys in every room where I hang out!

Papa bought a trailer so that I could ride behind his bike. He bought me this cool helmet. Mama was just going to buy the cheap one at Wal-Mart, but Papa got me a special one from a bike shop and it's the same brand as his!

Needless to say, I wasn't thrilled with this new activity at first.....

....but after a couple of rides, I'm getting used to it. Who knows? Maybe I will even like it someday! (I am trying to figure out if Korky might fit in here with me.)

Pony Up

Here I am playing in my room, which I love!

This is my first ponytail, or at least the first one that I kept in for a few minutes! (While this might be a very cute picture, I know that my family and friends are just having a fit that I'm growing so fast when they aren't here to see me regularly.)

Look at all of these beautiful quilts! I am a very lucky little girl.

Check Up

Here I am after my one-year check up, which actually happened on the day I turned 13 months. I had to have shots and get blood drawn which I did not appreciate. This picture was taken right before Grandma noticed that my arm was breaking out in hives. You have never seen Mama move so fast! If I didn't feel so bad, I would have laughed.

So, here's the update. At 13 months, I weighed 18lbs 11oz and was 28.5 inches tall. That puts me in the 10th percentile for weight and....drum roll please... the 50th percentile for height! Tall and skinny! Who knew? My head was in the 75th percentile and I think we all know where I get that.....

Oh, I almost forgot, as soon as they took the bandaid off, the hives started to go away. Just can't use that type of bandage I guess!

The good news is that we are almost caught up on the blog to present day! Way to go Mama!

Hats Off to You!

My Heart Belongs to...

Grandpa!

I hope....

....I didn't inherit Grandpa's back pain, but...

....I am practicing his "back exercises" just in case. (Uncle Billy, I know you are shaking your head right now!)

Part II

Like Grandmother.....

.....Like Grandaughter!

So that's where they keep the sun!

Had to rest up after our big morning out. Anyone for more Signing Time?

To the Point

We took a drive around the point with Grandma and Grandpa.

It was windy, but definitely worth it to see....

.....the most amazing kites I have ever seen!

Kickin' Back with Grandpa

Grandpa and I had a lot of time to bond while he was visiting. We went to the swings, went for walks, watched videos, played with toys and read books. He even grew his beard for me again.

I am completely on board with the idea that I'm the center of the universe, but this is a little ridiculous. I mean...where is Grandpa's face?

Signing Time with Grandpa

Grandma and Grandpa came for a visit to help us move into our new house. Grandpa spent a lot of time watching my sign language video with me, to keep us both out of the way! Here we are signing "water".
