HAPPY New Year (Eve)

I went to visit Daddy and Momma's friends Karl and Deanna (Uncle Karl and Auntie De De to me). Momma and Daddy told me they have spent quite a few New Year's Eves with them in the past. Uncle Karl made us pizza - like REAL pizza - everything fresh and from scratch. D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!!!!

Here I am with Auntie De De and Uncle Karl. Spending a night with Uncle Karl just makes you want to pull out your hair (right Auntie De De?)!!!! I was a very good little boy and ate all my dinner. I played in the house, traveled up and down the stairs quite a few times, visited with the turtles, and watched Cars. We left for home around 11:00 - even though I wasn't tired one bit...Momma, Daddy, Auntie De De and ESPECIALLY Uncle Karl were rather tired indeed.
By the time we got home and into PJs it was almost midnight so Momma and Daddy let me stay up. Momma set up the camera on the tripod (thanks Grama) and took this photo at the stroke of midnight. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!! Look! Even Mahoney celebrated (with a party hat).
My favorite part was the party noise makers. Goodbye 2007...hello 2008!

A Visit With Grama and Pop

I just got home from a 4 day trip up to see my Grama and Pop. Check back for some neat photos and details...

Oh! My Momma's having some issues witht he photos from Christmas too. She will get them up in the next few days. You HAVE to see them. Christmas was awesome.

1-year-old check-up

Had to go to the doctor today for my 1-year-old check-up.
Now I am...
20 lbs. 6 oz.
28 1/2 inches
While I was waiting I watched the fish tank. Always entertaining.
Dr. Taylor checked me all out. He said I am in perfect health. When I got home I got to have my first big-boy cup of milk. Yummy!

Why Can't Every Day Be Like Christmas?

When I woke up in the morning I found that Santa ate his birthday cupcake and drank all his milk. And look! The reindeer even gnawed on the carrots.
There were LOTS of presents under the tree. I immediately wanted to try out my rocking zebra.
Then I took a crawl through my new tunnel...


...and danced to Daddy's brian Setzer Christmas DVD while I played with my new climber.

It took a long time to open presents, especially since every time we opened one I wanted to play with it.

Next I went to visit Meme and Auntie Stefie. Auntie's little dogie Lucy kept trying to kiss me. She was really excited to see me. I love, love, love doggies - and she was so little - I kept giggling with glee and kissing her back.

I saw Santa at Meme's and I let Momma take my picture with him.
Meme collects snow globes, so I got her one for Christmas. I liked watching the snow.
Next we went to visit Auntie Desiree, Uncle Tyler, and Max. Max wore my Christmas outfit from last year - doesn't he look so cute? Can you believe I fit in that once?
Last we went to (Grama) Marge's house. Here I am opening (Uncle) Jay and (Auntie) Haley's present. They got me... ...DRUMS!!!!!

I liked spending time with all those people who love me so much. Opening presents was hard work...but I DID like getting to play and investigate all the neat things after i unwrapped them.

Why can't every day be like Christmas?

1 Year Old Today - Christmas Eve

A whirlwind of a day...will tell you more later...but wanted to post my 1-year-old portrait. I am thinking turning 1 really IS fun!

Check back for more details soon.

It's My Party...

Today was my birthday party. So many family and friends came to celebrate with me - it made me feel very special. Here is the invitation Momma made for the occasion...

This is the front...

This is the back (minus the important info. that doesn't need to be known by everyone out in web world)...

We had pizza, macaroni and cheese, and chicken nuggets for lunch. While I was eating I kept showing off how old I was for everyone.

This is my Sesame Street cake. momma made it herself. I got the top mini cake all to myself and each of my guests got a cupcake.
Here I am, birthday hat on, enjoying said cake. Every time I took a bite I would clap my hands...then everyone else would clap too and say "Yay!" I do enjoy being the center of attention.

Here are all my baby friends...the "M babies." From left to right is Max, Michael, Me, and Matthew...all looking thrilled to be wearing their Elmo party hats.Then I got to open up presents! Mahoney helped me with this one. I got so many wonderful things. It was hard to finish opening presents because I just wanted to play with everything...so Momma and Daddy had to help me finish.

Tired Baby

Momma and Daddy had to finish their Christmas shopping today...and they had no one to watch poor little me. Yup. They carted me with them and now I am very, very tired. The good new is, I had a really good time walking around the mall and helping Daddy push the stroller. Christmas shopping sure does take a lot out of you though.
