Where have I been?

Well, something about mommy's computer dying and daddy having to get a new one and get it all set up before mommy could put any cute pictures of me on the blog. Or even not cute ones, I guess. Just pictures at all. So I guess the pictures were recovered from the "dead" computer (how can a computer be "dead", anyway? I know I don't know much cause I'm only one and all, but...)

Speaking of being one... that's my big news! I'm ONE! And loving it. I'm getting into more trouble with every passing day, and am making sure that mommy and daddy know who's boss around here. It's like I own them. Like they're my pets. 

They even feed me cake when I tell them to...

I even have friends and family wrapped around my little finger... they gave me some super cool stuff for my birthday. A few examples include an awesome box from Grandma and Grandpa and a gift bag with really cool tissue paper in it from Landons. Does it get any better than this??

It's not so bad having a birthday and being the boss of everyone. I think I'll do it again sometime.

Another adventure (Part 2)

But the fun had only begun! We drove down to Cincinnati where Grandma and Grandpa spoiled mommy and me some more! We spent a lot of time in their pool...

And I got my first haircut:

... which I only survived because there was milk involved:

 (by the way, do you know what they DO to kids at these places?? They put you in an adorable little vehicle, make you wear a hilarious outfit, pop in an Elmo video, give you delicious snacks, and at the end... they give you a floating balloon. I mean, honestly... Do they really expect well-behaved kids??)

Thank goodness for Grandma who made me forget about my torturous experience by reading me stories:

 And Aunt Laura who walked me around:

And Grandpa who took me swimming some more:

It was such bliss... I miss you all and can't wait to see you again soon!

(A special Thank You goes out to Grandma for taking such good care of me!)

Another adventure (Part 1)

Recently, mommy and I went to visit Daddy's family in Ohio. We started our vacation visiting

Great Grandma on our way to the lake where Daddy used to spend his summers when he was little:

During the drive to the lake, I might have drifted off... 

... but once there, I did some serious playing:

I especially loved the boat ride:

I always made sure I was well hydrated:

 

And really loved cuddling with daddy's cousin Joel:

 

 

I even suckered a few unsuspecting relatives into walking me up and down the pier for a while:

 

 

I also spent a good deal of time splashing in the water...

 

... which Grant didn't seem to mind too much (I think...):

 

And Daddy's cousin, Sarah, let me wear her hat during snack time:

 

All I can say...

... is that sometimes, you just gotta slap your naked belly...

... and at other times, a good conversation with the ceiling is in order.

And there's no denying that when the music starts, so does the dancing...
