My Birthday Celebration

I love being ONE!!! And, I had so much fun on my birthday and then yesterday at my birthday party! Being One is great!

Here are some fun pictures of my day. Mommy made and decorated my cake and Papi filled our living room with so many balloons! I woke up yesterday morning and thought I'd gone to balloon heaven! It was so much fun playing with them and having everything in my party be Strawberry Shortcake, just like Mommy's first birthday party.

Hope you enjoy the pictures - sorry I can't share some cake and ice cream with you!

XOXO

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

Today, APRIL 12, 2007, I am ONE!!!

Happy Birthday to me!

I went to Africa....

Ok, not really, but while we were in Ann Arbor, we did some pretty fun things.
We went to the Hands-on Children's Museum with Mommy's Aunt Sara and Uncle John and their two kids, Amy and Grant. It was the first time I got to meet any of them and I had so much fun playing with Amy - she's 4 1/2 years old and showed me the ropes at the museum.

We also went to Cabela's to see the animals and I really liked the bears and the elephants. It was a lot of fun. I also got to ride on a bear rocking horse and that was super fun!

I like going to new places and meeting new people - they all make me laugh and giggle and be silly! It's just so much fun!

Adventures in Michigan

Mommy and Papi decided that it was time to for me to take my first big road trip! We went to Ann Arbor, Michigan over Easter weekend to visit Mommy and Papi's friends, Uncle Nathan and Aunt Sandy. I think I did pretty well on the way over - I did get a little restless, but that's to be expected since the trip was supposed to be 10 hours long and ended up being almost 12!! We had some bad weather on the way and plus, I was hungry and needed to stretch a couple of times so we got to stop and I got to use up some of my energy. I really have a lot of it!!

While we were visiting Uncle Nathan and Aunt Sandy - I got to play all the time with their two dogs, Jasmine, a Labradoodle and Gizmo, a Chihuahua. I LOVE puppies! Papi and Mommy really wish they could get me a puppy but our apt. won't let us. Thankfully we're moving soon!

Here are a couple of pictures of me and the puppies, my new best friends. No matter how cranky I was, as soon as I saw them, I got so excited! They were great playmates!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Everyone!!
Last year I was only 4 days old on Easter, so this Easter I had a lot more fun! I got three Easter Baskets this year - Grandma and Grandpa gave me one, Mommy and Papi gave me one and Aunt Sandy and Uncle Nathan gave me one! I felt really special!

I also got to dress up all pretty in my Easter dress. It was too bad that it was FREEZING outside!
Here are a couple of pictures of my Easter adventures. We were in Michigan with Aunt Sandy and Uncle Nathan and we had so much fun!

I DID IT!!!

I DID IT! I DID IT!!

Last night with a little help from Papi, I walked!
I love Mozzarella cheese so Papi kept showing me the cheese and making me walk farther and farther for it. I think I walked like 5-7 steps just to get my cheese.

Mommy and Papi were so proud of me and I was pretty proud too, I couldn't stop giggling!

After that first attempt, I decided to get braver and braver and I think very soon, I'll be walking all over the place! It's so much fun to be independent! YAY!!

Happy 11 Months to Me!!

Papi and Mommy can't hardly believe it but I'm going to be ONE!! I'm so excited for my first birthday. I hope by then to be walking all by myself, too! Right now, I only need one hand to hold on to things when I do walk so Mommy is pretty sure I'll be doing it by myself very soon!

I also finally figured out how to sleep the entire night so Mommy has been really happy about that one too!

I've included a couple new pictures of me. I really like to feed myself these days, no matter how messy it gets. Food is yummy!!!

Hope you get a good laugh from my pictures. Papi and Mommy always say I'm so silly and I think they are right!

Talk to you soon! Sophia
