Happy 1 Year Birthday to Me!

To celebrate, we went to OMSI!

I got to read lots of books!






I liked this book so much that I tried to take it out of the "book" area!















I even got to play with some puppets!














I also liked playing with this steering wheel. It was connected to some wind kite thingy that spun around when I turned the steering wheel, but I wasn't very interested in that part!











I also had fun playing with these fun shapes that you could put together and pull apart!

The other day I climbed into my toy basket with my sippy cup...







...it seemed like a good spot to relax and have a drink...









...but then I got stuck! HELP!!!

We went to Fir Point Farms and I saw my first pumpkin! I also got to see a pony, a bunny, a sheep, & a rooster!




I want this pumpkin... do you think it is too big?














How about this one? Can someone carry it for me?

I love reading books with Elmo! He's a good listener and he giggles a lot! :)

I'm having lots of fun driving my car! I just figured out how to use my feet to go backwards!














I even like to hide my toys in the engine compartment!















I'm really good at doing things I'm not supposed to...like playing with the kitty door. I'm too young to be put on "time out" so I might as well do it all while I can! :)

Up until now I would only feed myself a bottle if someone was holding me. However, I just figured out that it is more fun to walk around and feed myself!

I love walking around shaking my Cheerio shakers! They make lots of fun noise!

Daddy gave me a new hairstyle... what do you think???

Mommy thinks I'm cute when I'm crying and she just couldn't resist taking my picture! I don't remember why I was crying, but I'm sure there was a darn good reason! :)

I need to figure out how this zipper thing works so I can put stuff in my Elmo backpack!

Think I can fit this whole cracker in my mouth???

Elmo, I LOVE YOU!!!!

Elmo, you have a BIG nose!

We went to the store and when I saw this Elmo backpack, I got the biggest smile on my face! Of course Mommy & Daddy bought it for me (I'm spoiled!!!) and now I love to walk all over the house with Elmo...he's almost as big as I am, but that doesn't stop me!!!

Some of my favorite things to do are:

...try to get behind the tv...













...chew on the bungee cord that Mommy & Daddy use to keep the baby gate open...















...and pull all of the toys out of the toy baskets!

Oh, and I REALLY like to play with the kitty door, but for some reason Mommy & Daddy won't let me!!!

I like to go look at my Halloween costume that is hanging in the office...it makes me giggle! Can you guess what I'm going to be???

Now that I can walk, that's all I want to do!
















OOPS! Don't worry, I rarely fall head first!!!

I like sit in my big boy Elmo chair and play with my toys!

I'm walking all on my own now!!!!!! I can walk from one side of the room to other...sometimes I even stop to pick up a toy in the middle of the room!

Did you know that I can stand all by myself? I can even take 2-4 steps without holding onto anything! Mommy & Daddy get so excited when they see me walk!
