My First Year

Sorry for my long absence, everybody! A lot has changed since my last post - for one thing, we are in a new year - both on the calendar and in my life! I celebrated my #1 with some carrot cake and family playtime this Saturday. Grandma, Grandpa, Nai-Nai, Ye-Ye, Double Uncle Dave, Kimberly, Brian, Elliot, Daddy, and Lucas....oh, yeah, and Mommy - all got to hang out with me and see me wear a silly princess hat and play with toys that my brother kept managing to steal.

By the way - I LOVE carrot cake! I ate a whole messy piece all by myself. Thanks to Nai-Nai for assistance with that.

Some new tricks this quarter include learning to give and blow kisses, feeding myself quite well, and graduating to the big babies class! I am now an honorary Huskie Pup and my brother and Mommy love to take me to play with my new friends and some familiar faces. I have the same teachers that Lucas knew when he was my age!

I am a hungry hippo eating plenty of solid table foods, cereal, rice, soup, meat, baby foods, bread, and still a good bit of formula. Despite my daytime meals and snacks though, I am still waking Mommy up to eat more during the night. What can I say? Us tall growing girls gotta have that extra nutrition.

So I am off to bed now. It's been an exciting weekend and I am pooped from hanging out with Mommy and Grandma, waiting around at a place with lots of cars and tires, and listening to other babies in a big restaurant where some crazy guy kept throwing fire and rice on our table.

Good night!
