ONE YEAR OLD!!!!!!!!!

Wow, where did the last year go.....I have so many things to tell you that I am not sure I can get it all in... Well the first BIG NEWS...I am one year old.....

I went to the doctor today and I am 22lbs and 31-1/2" tall.....I'm in the over 90% group for my age....That is great.......The bad thing is I had to get two more shots......They hurt and I cried but the nurse put some mickey mouse bandages on me and everything was all better...

OK so lets get caught up.... I had a lot of things going on the past week, sissy had her 16th birthday party, I got to see my first snowfall and I had my first birthday party with my family.

So here is a shot of me and Heather dancing at Tori's birthday party. Daddy was the DJ and he was cranking out some tunes and we were having a great time. The problem is that it started to snow and a lot of people couldn't come because of the weather.



Here is me and mommy out checking out the snow..... It was almost too bright out there for my eyes and it was cold......Brrrrrrrrr.... I like warm weather..... Is it summer yet?



Here is a pic of mommy's car..... It was snowed under....


Here is Tiger, he used to be a in the house cat but when I was born daddy gave him the boot outside.....He has done well out there, I pet him once in awhile on the porch.


Now to fun times, my first birthday party. Well it really wasn't a party it was just family but it was still fun. We will have big party with lots of my friends later when I get a little older.

Mommy put up banners and balloons in the dining room..... I kept trying to figure out how I was going to be able to pull those down.

Mommy decorated my high chair....... It looked nice.....

It even had it's own mat to keep the cake from getting all over the place..

Susan and Katie brought me a BEAUTIFUL NC STATE cheer leading outfit and I put it own for the party. Daddy was very proud of me but the sad thing was that NCSU lost to Georgia Tech Saturday......They had a chance to win the game and let another one get by..


OK, I am in my high chair please begin the festivities...............First I must inspect this balloon.

Ok this is getting a little ridiculous..... Will someone please get these pink balloons off my my head.... They are sticking to my hair......


OK, I see a present.....I am sure that is for me because it is wrapped up...Will someone please hand it to me?

Thank you! I love tearing up wrapping paper....I must see what is inside!


It is a music keyboard..... Grandma and Grandpa Merritt gave it to me...I can sit and play lots of music on it.


I love it.........


Uncle Tim bought me a couple of books to read......Thank you uncle Tim.


This book has lots of animals in it. I will sit with Daddy and we will learn each and every one of them.

Grandma and Grandpa Hunsucker got me some clothes, some bath toys and a nice brush.....The brush is really going to come in handy as my hair is getting long.


WOW, what is this...... This is from mommy and daddy and it is big.

Alright, I give up someone is going to have to help me....This is just too big.


Mommy and Daddy got me building blocks and there are lots of them.....Alright, I am going to have them scattered all over the house.....................

I know I don't look too excited here but I don't know what to think of this thing in the middle of my cake with that flame on top.........


Now that the flame is out I can look into this thing in more detail.

Hmmmmmm, it has cake and icing on the bottom of it and it is great..............

See all you have to do is give me a spoon and some cake and I can do this all by myself.


This is yummy!

I have cake all over my face......And I want more....... Can I have cake everyday?


Ohhhhhh Noooooooo, I got cake all over my cheer leading outfit.... I think this was a conspiracy of all the Carolina fans in the house like mommy and both grandpa's to get me to take this outfit off...Well it won't work.....

Next weekend when NCSU plays the Tarheels I am going to have my outfit on ready to go.

Whew, I am tired.....This was a lot to cover.......... Well I hope to post another one real soon especially since I am walking I plan to explore more of this big world and report back to you with my findings.....

Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope to see you all soon!

Where Have I Been?

Well I guess you have been wondering where I have been.... Well the last couple of weeks have been interesting. First I caught this bad stomach virus and then I just happen to give it to mommy, daddy and sissy. It wasn't too bad for me but it was awful for them...... Grandpa Merritt had it first so I need to keep an eye on him. :)

Then daddy lost the camera.....He looked everywhere and could not find it but it did pop up so we are back in business....

So BIG BREAKING NEWS.....I am walking and I love it....... This is da bomb.......I am all over the place...

Here is a pic of me running away from daddy....He was telling me to slow down but I was on a mission.

I reached the hall table and took a break.....Look at me...... I am mobile.. I have lots of things to explore in this world now.

Here is my horsey.....I am big enough now to get on it and ride...

Hmmmm, the remote, let me see if I can change the channel and watch something that I want to see..



Oh no, no one is getting my remote, I need to make a break for it.


So Daddy took me shopping and bought me a minnie mouse hoodie.. I love it,,,, Look at the minnie mouse ears on top.....Sweet!


So when Daddy and I went shopping this weekend I seen this big ol jug of cheese balls...I had to have it....I kept pointing at it in the store and daddy couldn't resist so he bought it for me.



Now that I have it, how can I get this big ol jug open......Hmmmm, this might be a challenge but I won't give up!

Thank you again for visiting my blog... I promise I won't take so long next time to post some pics...Have a great weekend!

It is a baby doll...... I am young and not real sure what I am supposed to do with it though.

What da??? I also got this big ol pink thing with all these frizzy things coming out of it....It is almost bigger than I am...But I am sure I will have fun playing with it!


The next morning I was ready to see what Santa brought me...But first I wanted to get into some of that Christmas cake that mommy bought.....Hmmmmmmm it was great!!



In my stocking I didn't get all the candy that everyone else got but I did get a banana and a brand new sippy cup that sissy is showing me.

So I am a little bummed as my Miami Dolphins lost today but I did get a chance to go to my first ever Christmas party last night at my great uncle Bills. There were a lot of people there and everyone was happy to see me.

I have my new outfit on and here is sissy holding me...Lets roll, I am ready to go!
