Happy Family

Mama had her arms full with both me and cousin Sadie on her lap. She managed it though and enjoyed cuddling with both of us for a few minutes.

More Sleeping Pictures

I have started snuggling up with my stuffed airplane while I sleep, and Mama and Daddy think it is so cute. That's why there are pictures of me sleeping :-)

Happy July 4th!

This is my first ride forward facing in my car seat. See how happy I am to not have my legs all cramped up on the seat!
My first picnic was on July 4th at Aunt Beth's house. I liked it and got to eat off a special watermelon plate.
My cousin Steven really loves me and wanted to have a picture taken together.
Daddy is looking at some kind of bug that Steven caught. Mama really likes the way this picture turned out.
Enjoying our picnic before we had to go home.

Getting Ready...

...for the pool. I was ready and waiting on Mama and Daddy to finish up. Let's go already!

Smile Again

Here is that goofy smile again that I use when the camera is pointed towards me.

Mama thinks it is cute now but hopes I eventually outgrow it!

1st Birthday Party

Mama made this cake for my birthday party. It is the caterpiller from Baby Einstein. Isn't it special? It took her an entire day to make.

In progress before the face.


My friend Drew and I are playing.

Happy Birthday to me!

Happy 1st Birthday!!!

For my birthday, Mama and Daddy took me to Red Robin for dinner!
I didn't eat much, but I had a good time.
I like opening presents, but Mama has to get the paper away from me or I might like to taste it.
Grandma and Grandpa Nottingham sent me this Fridge Farm as a present, and I haven't stopped playing with it since.

Sleeping

Mama snuck in while I was sleeping one night and took this picture. I will really sleeping hard to not see the flash of the camera!

New Chair

I still like my new Thomas chair, and I'm still doing that goofy camera smile. I hope I grow out of it soon!

Rubber Ducky

I like swimming in the public pool by my house. Grandma gave me this rubber ducky to help me, but it made me capsize instead. I don't think I'm ready for it. I do know though how to climb out of the baby pool all by myself. I don't think Mama and Daddy are ready for that!

Playgroup First Birthday - Practice Run

We had a playgroup 1st birthday party for us at Caitlyn's house. It was fun seeing all my friends again.

We are all lined up waiting for our cupcakes. I was hungry through and started to eat my party hat.

I'm intrigued by this orange thing that Mama is trying to give to me. Hmm, wonder what it is?

I don't know, but I don't like it on my hands! You'll notice that not one piece of cake made it into my mouth. I wonder if I will cooperate on my real birthday.

I like playing house with my friends. William is even giving me a hand!

It's getting harder and harder for the mamas to take group pictures of us now that we are all on the move. L to R: Luca, me, Kirsten, Caitlyn, William, Jack
