So it has been a while since I posted anything. My life has been really busy. A few weeks ago I had a birthday party at Gymboree. I was very cranky because I was still getting over a bad stomach virus but I still had a fun time.

Lots of my friends and family came to share my special day. Mommy and Daddy didn’t take a lot of pictures because there was so much going on. Thank you everyone who came! 🙂

Mommy took me this week to get my one year photos taken. I am such a big boy now. I can stand and I walk from time to time. I am so proud of me, I have come a LONG way in just one year!

Here is me standing by the stool… I stand SO well now!


This is my “get the ladies” pose… I am a CUTIE!

Just standing… Look at me NO HANDS!

Arial view…


No mistaking it… I AM ONE (well on June 3rd I will be)

Mommy & Daddy’s Favorite!

!

Today I went with the MomsClub to Our Playtime Together.

I had fun playing with all the different toys there.

I got scared when Evie screamed but I was a happy kid through most of it.

I even went crusin’ for chicks!


I am a GOOD driver!


I needed to sit and relax afterwards because that is hard work.

I enjoyed the ball pit.

Then Mommy stopped by Gymboree and I saw my friend Quinn. He is only one week older than me. Mommy was laughing because Mr. Quinn and I were dressed EXACTLY alike! Nifty!

I am on the airlog and Quinn is on the Gymbo teeter.

I had a fun day! Despite the sippy cup attacking me and me being soaking wet!

When Daddy told me about Mother’s Day (this being my first and all) I wanted to do something special for Mommy. Daddy suggested we make her a card. I wasn’t quite sure about that idea (still not sure what “cards” are all about — they just seem like small pieces of paper to eat with pictures on them). Daddy went and got the paints and Mommy told him he needed to set up my prison cell (Daddy just said it’s my “mess making play yard” — whatever Dad!) to keep the house clean. So, with the “prison cell” setup in the kitchen, Daddy put on some old clothes, Mommy stripped me down, and plunked me in with Daddy. Daddy explained how to paint — stick my hand in the paint and then rub my hand around the paper. I caught on pretty quick (and only tasted it once). I was enjoying playing with the paints on the “paint plates” and Mommy suggested that we put blobs of paint on the paper. That was a great idea. I found it much more fun to rub the paint around versus going “paint plate” to “painting”. So, I made a bunch of abstract art all on my own. Daddy only helped me with one. I think they’re great. I’m going to save them as “my early works”.

Oh, yeah, I got my first tattoo too! “I love Mom”

Mommy then took me to the bath (she’s telling me that happened “after mopping up the floor, prison cell, Daddy, and me” — Daddy is saying “Oh, whatever, it wasn’t that bad!”). That was really cool too. I turned the water all types of colors that quickly mingled to an icky brown. Still, that was cool!

Off to bed! Night night!

The start of the painting. Look how organized Daddy was with the little paint plates.

Daddy explained what to do so now I tried on my own…

I get it… I’ve now got blue fingers I can rub on the paper

I’m really starting to get the hang of it…

Here was Mommy’s good idea. I liked having all the colors right there.


My tattoo started with just a heart…

Daddy added the “I” and “Mom” next


There’s my tattoo! I asked Daddy to touch up the heart with more red later on, but I *loved* my tattoo 🙂

I’m touching up the corner of the paper. I didn’t like my first pass…

More blue… I can never have enough blue for my inspired works!

I’m all done with my painting! Time to clean up! I had lots of fun!

Today I went to the Florida Aquarium with some friends from MOMs Club! 🙂

We had a real fun time!

Here is me in my ROCKIN’ sunglasses! (I kept them on for 15 min!)

Mommy let me play in the sandbox.

I only ate a LITTLE sand before Mommy said NO!

But I tried to DRINK a lot of sand… but Mommy caught me!

I thought it was more fun to scale the benches than look at fish.

But I found the fish eventually and pointed them all out.
