Happy Mama's Day! (and the best give I had to give)

Today was Mother's Day. It was my mommy's second one ever. I didn't have much to give her but hugs and kisses and smiles and giggles and one thing she's been waiting and waiting for and starting to get very impatient over.

I WALKED!

I took my first real steps. Mommy screamed and clapped and smiled so big. She was so excited. And it was a weekend, so Daddy got to be home and see it too!

Mommy grabbed the camera because she knows how much I love to ham it up, but the batteries were dead, so she couldn't video it or take any pictures. She was very sad about that :( , but then Daddy put it into perspective for her. He said "You got to see it, and how beautiful and perfect it was in person, so just remember it." She told me he was absolutely right. I did it for them (I did) and they are my Mommy and Daddy and it was something special that they didn't have to share with the world just yet.

But I am going to keep practicing so I can show Grandma and Auntie Amber and Uncle Steve, and all my awesome cousins how good at it I am when I see them next!

Since the camera died today, here is a cute picture of me napping from this week for aesthetics:

Happy birthday to me!

Wow. I almost forgot about my blog. LOL! We've just been busy with our move and unpacking and my birthday, which was yesterday btw. I am officially ONE YEAR OLD! Yay!

I got my carseat turned around so I face forward now. I got a bunch of gifts, and I got the yummiest homemade cake that mommy made. It was so awesome. I also got my first Happy Meal from McDonalds with Chicken Nuggets and French Fries and Chocolate Milk, and, and, and...a TOY! But mommy said don't get used to those, it was a special treat.

For my birthday from daddy and mommy I got:

A Wimbley Fraggle Plush
A Gobo Fraggle Plush
A Grover Plush
A Toddlerz Toy Phone
An Elmo Shape Sorter/See & Say
A Marvel Comic Book Heros Ball
1 Fish 2 Fish Red Fish Blue Fish
Green Eggs and Ham
Go Dog Go
Where The Wild Things Are
and a Pair of Sesame Street Shoes

Here are some pictures of me and my new stuff:


Next weekend we are having my birthday party. We were going to do it on my birthday but we needed more time to settle into our new place, plus my aunt and uncle and cousins will have an easier time coming down next weekend, and they have a very long drive. I can't wait for more gifts! Hehehehe :)

We are now in our new house in Hollywood too. You can see the Hollywood sign and the Griffith Observatory from the driveway...pretty cool.

So I gotta go break in these new toys some more. See ya!

Change in Plans, Girl Scout Cookies, Tooth #6 & Easter

Been gone a long time...sorry about that.

So, our plans changed, mommy and daddy ended up turning down the apartment in West Hollywood. The broker they were working with kept changing what she said about things, and it left them with a bad taste in their mouth. But, they found a little house in Hollywood that we're going to move into this weekend. It said one bedroom but its really two, because there's a whole other room built off the living room. Its a lot less than our 1250 square feet we have now, but its closer to the city and daddy's work.

That's why we haven't been able to update my blog in the last couple of weeks, mommy was busy looking for places and getting utilities hooked up at our new one, packing and so on. Plus mommy got a nasty cold. Maybe allergies. Something that involved a lot of gunk in her nose and chest. Bleck! She made a lot of funny sounds getting rid of it. :)

But, while I was gone, I tried my first Girl Scout Cookies...YUM

They were Samoas and Thin Mints, and as messy as they were tasty!


Then I celebrated my first Easter!


Mommy and Daddy got me a very boy basket. It was camouflage with matching camo eggs (some had a half a jelly bean in them and some has a cookie dough bit candy!!!) and a dinosaur and a blue bunny that makes "booooing!" sounds, and a froggy rattle bracelet, and a new book (The School Bus Driver from the Black Lagoon) and A CUPCAKE that came with a little easter egg bath toy! I only get about half the cupcakes when I get them, but boy is that half GOOOOD!

And then this morning I woke up with my 6th tooth! It the top, center right side. Now maybe my smile will be almost complete by my birthday! I'm also getting better at standing all by myself and taking steps toward mommy and daddy. I haven't quite got it yet, but I'm very well on my way to walking! That will mean so much more to get into. Hehehehe! I can't wait!

Well, now that every things settled, I should be able to update more regularly again. I'll make sure mommy puts up pictures of our new place next weekend too. Off to practice toddling around now!

Bye ;P

Happy V Day

Wow, Happy Valentines Day! Its my first. I like it. Mommy and Daddy were my Valentines this year. :)

So yesterday was my 10 month birthday too. Its been a big week!

Also this week I decided that I no longer like formula. I won't drink it, period. Not the little baby stuff, not the next step baby stuff. I don't want it in my cereal. I do not like it with a fox, I do not like it in a box. I'm not supposed to start milk until I'm 12 months, but since I won't drink my formula anymore (my taste buds have just become more developed and lets be honest, that stuff is gross!) mommy called my doctor and he said to go ahead and start me on the whole milk now. I started solid foods early, and I've had dairy in my diet, (yogurt, kefer, cheese) since I was 6 months old, so he said it should be fine, but just watch for allergies or digestion problems. I've had neither. So I drink big boy milk now. Mommy says I have to take vitamins now though too. :(

I've also learned how to get into trouble recently. Mommy set the can of open formula on the floor today while she was cleaning off my shelf, and within a minute I had it open and all over me! It was like my own personal sandbox. I'm quick too! It made a horrible mess and she got a funny look on her face but I had fun!

So that's about it for today. We should do some fun stuff this weekend though so I'll have more pictures really soon. BYE!

It was great. The best part was the wrapping paper...it was YUMMY!
We also brought my 3 oldest cousins home with us for a week. That was a fun 5 hour drive with everything in the car. We were squished! Well, I wasn't, everyone else was though. :)

Then we celebrated New Years. That was so awesome too. We banged pots and pans and screamed outside at Midnight. I totally dig that holiday.

I had a nice vacation. There's no more room for me in my bed now with all my toys though. I'll update with more pics again later. It's taking forever to organize everything and get everything uploaded and copied and burned. I think we took too many pictures and videos. I'm gonna go play with all my cool new stuff now though. Bye!

Oh yeah....and the day before yesterday I cut my first top tooth! It's on the left side. Now I can really start chewing the yummier foods!

Feeling better and feasting

So we are all feeling better now, and my appetite is almost as big as normal again. This is good because I got to participate in my first Thanksgiving!

I started to feel a little better on Wednesday but we still took things easy to prepare for Thursday.

Then Thursday we went to Glendale to daddy's uncle Micheal's, my great uncle, and visited with a lot of family. I got to meet a lot of my relatives I have never met before, my great aunts and uncle, my second cousins, and I got to see my Grandma and Steve again, who I LOVE and my great grandpa. My little 2nd cousin Angie who is only a few years older than me and I played a lot. It was nice to have someone little like me around.

It was fun. I played with Steve a lot and grandma too.

Then we ate. I got to try mashed potatoes, and candied yams, green bean casserole, corn casserole, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie! I finished with eating my puffs on my own so mommy could eat some of her food too.

It was very fun. I got pretty tired by the end of the night though. We were out late. I took a small nap but with all the people it was hard to sleep. I was a really good boy though. Even though my separation anxiety is starting to kick in I had no stranger anxiety and was not cranky or fussy at all. I showed every one what a good sitter and crawler and stander I am. Nobody could believe how young I was and everyone kept saying how much I look like daddy!

So that was my Thanksgiving, and we are all feeling better, so I'll be able to post more often again. I just can't believe how bad it sucks so have a cold then a stomach flu right after. That was bad luck, but at least it's over now and my little immune system is stronger for it!

Well, I'm gonna go play now. Daddy's been home for two days and has two more off so we're playing A LOT this weekend. Bye!

It's Bananas...B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

Sorry I didn't post my pictures yesterday afternoon like I promised. I got busy with the whole trick or treating deal. They could barely stuff me into my costume. Then we had to take it off because we realized that I couldn't get buckled into my carseat wearing it, so I rode in the car almost naked! Then I had to get dressed into it again (and take it back off again when it was time to go home). Then we had to walk and knock and walk and knock. Halloween is a lot of work for a baby (even though we only went to like 4 houses) Phew!

Here I am out and about:

Here is the first house I ever trick or treated at:

Here's Monster doing his thing all a glowing out on the porch:
(With fire safe glowstix inside, not candles!)

So it was pretty dead for Halloween. Mommy was sad, she couldn't believe how dark all the houses were and how few kids were out. We did go by a few of mommy and daddy's old friends houses though, and went inside and saw people I've never seen before. They all wanted to hold me coo over my costume. I met this crazy, nutty guy Jake. He was funny. He was really happy and held me up really high. I liked him.

At the end of the night mommy and daddy let me have a Blue Razz Blow Pop for a couple of minutes. It instantly turned me blue!

But then they took it away! They LITERALLY took candy from a baby! Can you believe that evilness? I guess there's some stuff called gum inside that I can't have and sugar is only a sometimes food. They also let me have a little bite of chocolate, but took away everything with nuts and peanut butter in it. I don't even know what nuts and peanut butter are but now that I know I can't have them I want them! Mommy said she'd take my Reeses off my hands for me. Yeah, thanks mom.

Well, I need to recuperate a little now. I'll be back later! Hope everyone had a great Halloween! Bye!
