Sugar High

I had a brownie for the first time tonight. What a yummy, delicious treat! I don't know how it got on my high chair tray, but I want more, more, more. I've never had so much energy. I'm burning through my tox box and sleep just isn't an option!

6 Seconds

The time that it takes to not-so-carefully remove 57 tissues from the box is approximately 6 seconds.

The celebrating continues...

I had my friends over today to celebrate my 1st birthday. What a fun bunch of shorties! I had a blast while mommy loved every minute of hanging with her girlfriends. Despite all the available toys, the most engaging attraction was the doorstop (pictured below)... boingggggg, boingggggg! Check out the rest of the pictures by clicking on the photo below.

I Stole the Remote...

because I seriously love me some Barney.

One is Fun!

Oh, what a difference a year makes...

ONE!

My family came over to celebrate my first birthday last night. It was such a FUN party! Mommy, Daddy, and I are soooo incredibly grateful to have such a loving, thoughtful, and generous family. I scored some serious loot! :) I want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for making my first birthday one that I'll never forget. Welllll, in case I do forget, at least I'll have wonderful pictures (click on the link to view the album) that captured my first party!

Back in Business

The power (finally) came back on last night around 8 pm. What a fiasco!

After the lights came on, Mommy and daddy couldn't contain their excitement while hollars of "whooo hooo" could be heard from neighbors all the way down the street. I'm just glad that I get my battery-required toys back, since they had been put on the "temporarily malfunctioning" list. All of the batteries were being used for alternative lighting throughout the house.

Lights Out!

The remnants of Hurricane Ike surprised us with a severe windstorm on Sunday afternoon. Nobody anticipated the 75 mph wind gusts that uprooted trees, damaged homes, and left 500,000 in the tri-state area without power.... including us, our friends, and our family. I'll be back online when our power is up! :)

Princess

Every one needs a special place to curl up and get cozy. My chair (from Aunt Katie) is just the right size for some serious lounging. I haven't really mastered the dismount yet, so I just throw myself off, head first, and hope for a soft landing. :)

BIG

Not Quite Fetch

Who needs toys when you've got a four-legged, furry friend to play with all day long?!

Welcome to the Jungle

Who Dey, Who Dey,

Who dey think gonna beat 'dem Bengals,

When they play in the jungle,

Afraid of nooooobody!

Taking my babies on a walk...

Baby Proof (sort of)

Whose shiny, new, spiffy sofa is it that I'm lounging on?! It's OUR brand new addition to the family room. Stains and other baby-induced damage don't stand a chance on this new sofa (but, we did get a warranty just in case). It just doesn't get any more comfy than this for watching Barney. :)

LABOR Day

This whole "Labor Day" idea is very confusing. I don't really get it... is it really a special tribute to the twelve LABORous hours that mommy put in to bring me into this world??! That's how she explained it to me. Either way, I got to celebrate with some fun at the lake.
