Mini maestro

I spent most of Christmas Eve trying to figure out how to get out of the horrible dress mom made me wear- everyone said I looked super cute, but I was just plain itchy! But, then I discovered the piano. It's so cool- when I hit the keys, it makes noise. Hopefully in about six years I can sign up for some lessons and learn how to play melodies.

So they say it's your birthday...

I had quite an eventful first birthday. First, mom and dad woke me up really early. We got into a taxi, drove to La Guardia airport, and flew all the way across the country. I totally loved the plane ride- I looked out the windows, took naps, and played with the flight attendants. They even let me use their special phone!



Good thing I had some cake over the weekend... After so much activity, I sort of didn't have the energy to blow out my birthday candles. But at least Grammy and Gramps picked out a restaurant with comfy benches- I just curled up and went to sleep. Mommy and the rest of the family ate my cake. Thanks guys!

My birthday, part I

I celebrated part one of my birthday this weekend with my parents and Great Grammy and Fa in Wilmington- it was pretty special. I got to have more chocolate than I have ever had in my short life. And let me tell you, I am already trying to figure out how I can get my hands on some more...

Static electricity

The other day my dad and I discovered that it is quite easy to get my hair to stand on end.  As you can see, the resulting look is quite amusing.  I'm totally cute with spikes, right?!

My buddy Camille

Granddaddy and Mimi have a very large polar bear and she lives in their house and her name is Camille.  The last time I saw her I was a bit too small to full appreciate her.  But during this visit I was mobile, so I was able to crawl right up to her and investigate (I am very brave and inquisitive).  I discovered that she was very nice and would give me kisses if I pulled on her fur.  We had an awesome time together, until she decided to leap over my head.  Granddaddy was very scared and kept her on a leash after that; but for the record, I was NOT scared, I thought it was so cool!!

Happy Thanksgiving

My first Thanksgiving!  Mom kept asking me if I was ready for turkey- as you can see, I lived up to my rep as a good eater.  I saw that gorgeous bird and immediately knew exactly what to do; I grabbed a knife off of the dinner table and got ready to dig in.

Turns out I rather enjoy the sides as well; the dressing, sweet potatoes, and rolls, I mean, I had it all.  Delicious!  My Mimi is a great cook.  Then I took a nap.  I have this Thanksgiving thing down!

Picture Day: A star is born!

Say cheese!  Today was picture day at school and luckily, mommy had the day off so she could give me a bath and fix my hair before I went in (dad sometimes has a very creative ideas of what constitutes an ensemble).  I loved posing for the camera-- I am born to be a star!
