January 31, 2015

Hello, everyone!

It's been a big week for catching up with old friends.

I got to hang out with my friend Alice today. We've missed her!

We played bumper cars in the park.

My buddy Jacob turned 1. He brought cupcakes for the big kids (pictured here in my green bowl). Jacob had already finished his, so he snagged my banana bread. It made me sad, but it was ok since it was his birthday.

Dad calls this "lord of the flies."

We were all goofing around in the park.

This was my first uphill run.

I had to stop for a snack.

I've figured out how to stand on furniture. And my new favorite word this week is "ok."

I'm rounding out my palette- I am now a fan of almost all fruits, especially berries.

Mom thought people might want to see what it looks like when I wake up in my sleep sack.

Much love to you all!

Hi, everyone!

I've decided to stick with blogging a little longer, but I'm going to pass the baton on in depth blogging to my younger peers (a la Prudie in Slate, if you read that column).

So guess what- my very first first cousin arrived. His name is John Michael Henry. Great name! He is super cute, and I know we are going to be great friends.

Leo the scale lion is going to be making appearances on John's blog in NYC, so you'll only see him occasionally in ATL from now on.

I saw Dr. Roe for my one year visit. I am 22 lbs, 9 ounces, 32.25 inches tall, and my head size is 19.25 inches. The doc says I am "off the charts" for height and head size. Mom would like to note that adult small hat sizes start at 21" for head circumference!!!

Mom took a creeper shot of me through a two way window at school. I am eating at the big kid table now and using utensils.

I am still working on neatness, but I'm doing pretty well with a spoon.

Had my first snowpocalypse.

And got to stomp around in the snow.

Dad also taught me how to go under water in swim class!

Love you all so much! Big shout outs to my new peeps Penelope and John- year one was an awesome and wild ride! Mom and dad said it was the most magical year of their lives so far.

Hi, everyone!

It's been a huge week for me!

I had my first birthday! Thank you all for the well wishes!

I had my first cupcake to celebrate.

Mom and dad thought this card from great gram looks just like me!

And super big news- my cousin Penelope arrived! We love her! And don't you think London hospitals have fancy sheets!

I started my swimming lessons! Thank you, grandma and grandpa!

I also tried smoked salmon- delicious!

I'm getting better at napping. Mom pretends to fall asleep next to me to get me to nap. I know she's pretending though so sometimes I pat her with a book.
