My 1st Birthday Party

I actually got a whole birthday weekend to celebrate my day because I had all my Grandma's and Grandpa's and Aunts and Uncles and cousins come in from all over to celebrate, but my actual party with my family was on Sunday and here are some fun pictures from the day!

My Birthday Cake

Wow! Mom and Dad gave me a cake to eat at my birthday party. It was SO good! It took me a little while to realize that I was supposed to eat it but once I did I LOVED it! I sure did make a mess! Dad was proud of me. Afterwards I had to get naked and wash up outside. That was fun too because all my friends came to join me at my splash table!

More water fun.

I had friends over all weekend to play and it was HOT. We played in the water a lot. I got a new pool from Grandma Laarman and my cousin Jackson and I played in it and then all of my friends were having fun on my slip and slide! I can't wait till I am actually big enough to ride on that. Mom said to "slow down" on this growing up stuff... I don't understand why she says that stuff, the big kids have SO much fun!!

Slip and Slide...

My cousins Paige, Michael, Tayler and Ethan and all their parents came to stay with me last weekend and we sure did have fun!! We played on the slip and slide. I watched for a little while and then decided to crawl on down and join in. Mommy didn't even get a chance to get my clothes off!! I sure do wish that they lived closer. I liked having all those kids in my house!

Man am I ever cute!!!

I had my pictures taken this week and I think that I recovered well from my injuries of last weekend! I knew Mom had nothing to worry about!!

Rough weekend...

So I am becoming more mobile... I climb on EVERYTHING and lately I have been exploring new things a lot... I have this toy that failed me 2 times this weekend and has given me both a scrape on my right cheek and a BIG scratch/bruise by my left eye. I also fell on the back patio while trying to climb up the table legs and I scratched both my nose and my neck as well (not sure how exactly.) Mom says that I am "all boy" lately. Duh mom, I have been "all boy" since I was born. I'm surprised Dad never told her that... I heard mom on the phone today with the company that my toy came from and I think that they are working out something to get me MORE toys that won't break and make me fall. :)
