Flashbacks

Everyone seems to be having a hard time believing that I am a year old. Let me refresh your memory with some videos of me throughout this past year.

Here I am as a newborn with the hiccups.

This is me at 3 months. I wish my hands were still this entertaining!

At 6 months I had a really high pitch voice!

I learned how to shake my head around 9 months.

I am Mr. Personality at 1 year old!

1st Trip to Montana

My first trip out to Montana to see Grandma Deb, Grandpa Scott, and Auntie Heather was a success. I was a champ on the plane (well.....on the way out there at least). I didn't sleep a wink. There was just too much going on and I can't miss out on a second. Here is some video of me seeing the mountains for the first time from the air.

There was a lot to do and take in at Grandma and Grandpa's house. I got to see my puppy Stella who is going to come live with us again very soon. I also met more puppies, kittens and horses. One of my favorite things to do was stand at the back door and stare Stella and Kota in the face! Some other highlights were having my 1 year pictures taken by my photographer auntie at her studio, dyeing Easter eggs, going on an Easter egg hunt, getting my first haircut (NOT FUN!) which needed a follow-up cut when we got home, and sitting out on the deck enjoying the beautiful scenery and weather. Here are a bunch of pictures that sum up my trip. Check back later for my 1 year photos. Mommy still needs to decide which ones she wants!

One of my last crazy hair days before Susan trimmed my bangs. As you can see I wasn't very happy about it! Because I didn't sit still, I needed a follow-up cut when we got home. Well.....I'm sad to report I wasn't any better the second time around.

More Birthday Fun!

Sorry I had to cut my last post short. Here are some more pictures from my 1st Birthday party. My party started with me eating some BBQ meatballs, tortellini pesto pasta, and veggie pizza. Mommy cut me off before I was done so I would have room for my cake. Then I opened presents, which people were asked NOT to bring because I didn't really need anything. My friends and family were very generous and I loved all the great gifts. Thank you all so much! After that, it was time for me to entertain everyone with my cake eating skills. I heard many people saying "He's going to get a tummy ache!" but that didn't slow me down. (I did enjoy a sugar high for about 3 hours later that night though and got to stay up 3 hours past my bedtime.) When I was done with cake I had it EVERYWHERE so it was easiest to clean me off in the sink. I wasn't too sure about this! But once I was cleaned off, I was back in party mode as I rode my new bike around the house.Before I got my hands on the cake....and the damage I caused!!!

All in all, this was my BEST party yet and I'm loving being ONE!

I LOVE CAKE!!!

I celebrated my first birthday on Saturday (a couple days early). I loved all the yummy food! I eat A LOT these days. Mommy and Daddy can't cut up my food fast enough! I got my very own cake. Everyone else had to share--haha!! Here is some video of me digging into it. Thanks to Great Auntie Kay (who you'll hear in the video) for taking all the fun videos and over 500 pictures. I'll get some more pictures up later. I'm off to an art show for the afternoon.
