They let me eat cake!!!

Momma and Daddy threw me a birthday party this weekend. There were more people in my house than I’ve ever seen and banners and presents and food! Grandma Joyce gave me Momma’s old rockin’ chair. Grandpa Gene gave me a cool pair of Keens. Grandma and Grandpa G. sent me a frog to love. I got some toys and some cards and got to have lots of fun being cute and showing off my splint. But the best part was the birthday cake. Momma loosened up for once and let Daddy bake me a chocolate cake (she was gonna get a “healthy” carrot cake). They came at me with it all of a sudden with everyone making lots of noise and part of the cake was on fire. Cousin Jack put the fire out for me.

The cake was sooooo good. Best food I’ve had yet. Soft and oh-so chocolatey. I ate and ate. I licked the frosting off of the plastic wrap Momma had put on my splint. And it went really well with my new favorite beverage, milk. I made a real mess of myself and caused much amusement and flashing of lightbulbs. I hope I don’t have to wait another year for more of this good stuff!

Thanks to all who came to my party: Carly, Brad, blogging-buddy Elias, Caroline, Fiona, Christine, Lee, Diana, Milan, Auntie Mandy, Uncle John, Cuz Jack and Ryan, and Grandma and Grandpa.

Happy Birthday to Me!!!!

It’s my birthday! I never thought I would make it to 1 year, but here I am. I feel so old.

It’s been a good year. I got to spend 3 months with Momma. I’ve made friends at school, and gotten to meet lots of relatives. Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Took my first class. Had three ear infections, the stomach flu, and many many many colds. Moved from the baby bath to the big bath and moved up in beds, carseats and strollers. Grew out of countless adorable outfits. Lost numerous binks.

I’m looking forward to climbing and talking and better toys and more clothes. And feeding myself!

Happy Easter!

No candy for me, but lots of fuzzy things. Fuzzy bunny, fuzzy dog, fuzzy bunny. And lots of new summer clothes from Grandma and Grandpa. We went out to eat at Carnival. There was a jazz band playing in the bar and I showed off all I’ve learned in Wiggleworms.

I got to spend time with G’ma Joyce and G’pa Gene. They take some getting used to, but I warmed up to them after a while. G’ma scared me by popping into the bathroom while I was taking a bath. Sorry for the girly shriek, but I was naked and wasn’t expecting visitors!

I’m sick and I want my Momma

This was supposed to be a fun weekend in St. Louis for ‘cuz ‘cuz Jessalyn’s wedding, but I felt horrible. My last ear infection didn’t go away and so I was running a fever all weekend. This made me very cranky and I cried a lot and didn’t want anyone to touch me except for my Momma. Plus they wouldn’t let me nap. They kept me up late at various parties and kept moving me around from place to place. Who can blame me for being so upset? Sorry everyone, I just wasn’t myself.
