I Can Do It!

I am finally brave enough to walk by myself. I got A Little Mermaid car for my birthday from Hiedi and Jeremy and it is my favorite toy. I've pushed it all over the house at least a hundred times. So now, I am brave enough to try it for myself!

However, that also means that my adoptive mom spends way more time watching me and not getting stuff done - like making posts on the blog... Sorry!



See how big I am getting!

Cake - Yum!

My cake was aWinne The Pooh cake. "My friends Tigger and Pooh" is my favorite TV show. I watch it ever Sunday before church.

I am 1 Year Old! Wow Times Flies....

This is me at my birthday breakfast... I love french toast, so that's what we had. I also got my first taste of strawberry and chocolate milk. They were both good, but I liked the chocolate better (doesn't everyone).


Here is my party. We had a BBQ at the park. It was cold but I had a good time. I got to see lots of people who love me. I saw my birthparents and their families. I really enjoyed spending some time with them. I don't see them very often.

I loved my birthday cake. It was so good I ate 2 pieces. I didn't make a very big mess. I think that my adoptive dad was disappointed. Oh well.

This is one of the presents that I got. It was from my birthparents. It is nursery rhyme book. When I push the buttons it talks and sings to me. I thought it was silly and am giggling.

All in all, I had a great 1st birthday! It was great to see everyone and to know that I have so many people that love me.

My adoptive mom got sick on my birthday so she didn't get the pictures posted very quickly. Sorry!

My 1st Family Vacation :)

I got to go on my 1st family vacation the last week of May. We went up to Yellowstone National Park. We stayed in a condo in West Yellowstone, Montana. I traveled in 4 states on my vacation. I am not sure if that's good or not. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually - right?

I got to go swimming for the 1st time. There was a pool in the condo that we stayed in. The water was cold and I really didn't like it. I enjoyed splashing a little, but it didn't take long to be so cold that nothing was fun. I did like to run around the condo in my new "Nemo" swimming suit... Aren't I the cutest - in my little blue tutu?

This picture was taken at Gibbon Falls. It was a little cold but I really liked the sound of the rushing water. I really just wanted to touch the water, but no one would let me.

My uncle Fon gave me my 1st piggyback ride. I really liked that! I definitely want to do that again. I am so tall!

Look at me so quiet - napping in my new "Big Girl" car seat. It really wasn't to comfortable to nap in, but I like to look out the windows while we are driving. My adoptive parents bought me a doll to play with during the drive to West Yellowstone. It is my new favorite toy! I love to give her hugs and kisses. Guess what? She has a binky just like me - I take it out and put it back in and take it out and put it back in!

I didn't sleep very well while we were away. I just couldn't find a comfortable place or position. I really don't like to be away from home for very long or be out of my routine. I like everything to be predictable.

We were all very happy to get home and to sleep in our own beds. I slept for 12 hours the night we got home. My adoptive parents were so happy :) Don't tell them, but I don't plan on that happening again anytime soon.

Gotta go - my adoptive mom says it is past my bedtime. Sweet Dreams!
