Just a general update

It's been awhile since I made my last post so I thought I'd give you all a general update...
I started my Kindermusik class this month. It's been great. Mama takes me. It's in Black Mountain every Thursday. I'm still not sure what to REALLY think about it, but it's fun and I really enjoy listening to the music and being there with my mama. I still go to story time (or mother goose time) at the library and have play group with my friends and their mamas. I haven't been taking swim lessons this month but next month I'll be back. OH! I've got my first molar!! Mama and dada didn't even know until it had already popped thru. (I must be a good teether). The weather is starting to get cooler. Mama always puts me in a sweater in the mornings. She says that I have to start wearing layers now. I'm not sure I know what she means, I really don't mind the cold, and by afternoon its nice and "warm". I think there is a Greek Festival this weekend so I'll tell my parents to bring the camera so that I can post some new pictures ;-)

12 Month Wellness Exam

Mama took me to the pediatrician today. She said that I was "perfect". I got to use the 'big people" scale and I didn't have to get naked for it :-) I weighed in, with my diaper on, at 24 pounds. Mama is saying my diaper was probably a few ounces so we're calling it 23 pounds. I've grown so much this year, when I was born I was 21" and now I'm 29-3/4" tall! Mama checked the growth charts when we got home and I am in the 75th percentile for both height and weight. After all that was done some "mean" lady came in and gave me TWO shots! The first one I didn't mind the second one I DID NOT like. I don't have to go back unitl I'm 15 months and they said that will be the last of my shots until Kindergarten :-)


BTW, the picture is from my photo session with the Picture People

My 1st Birthday Party!!

WOW! This weekend was a blast. My Abuelita, Uncle Tony, Godmother Amie and Justin all came up for my birthday. Mama and Dada couldn't believe that I was turning 1! But they sure know how to plan a party. Classic pooh was everywhere! It was awesome. It was all a little overwhelming at first, since I had just woken up from a nap when people started coming in, but then as my friends arrived I started to play. Ava, Joya and I had a great time playing with my present from my Mamaw! After playing for awhile it was time for the CAKE! I wasn't sure at first, but mama and dada said it was okay for me to just "DIG" in. I got it everywhere and it was really good. Thanks to everyone who came and shared my special day with me. Oh yeah, here is a link to some pictures on Shutterfly.

BR Gator Club Picnic

Yesterday was the Blue Ridge Gator Club picnic out at Lake Julian (near mama's old apartment). We all went even though mama and I have a cold. It was a little rainy but still lots of fun. I made some friends that I "ran" around with :) P.S. This may be my last blog as a 0 year old :)

 

Just me and my Bear...

 

Graduated Baby II Swim Class

I graduated from Baby II swim class yesterday!! What can I say, I'm a natural swimmer :-) I'll be taking the same class again though until I'm old enough to be in the next class. It will be fun being able to swim all winter long.

Bele Chere Fun

Although it was raining in the morning and we ended up going to the mall for about two hours we finally made it out the Bele Chere. We walked around for a while and caught a dog show. Mama walked me around when I wanted to, which was awesome. I think mama, dada and uncle Tony had a good time too. We went home afterward and dada and uncle Tony left for the Crooked Routes show. On Monday we went over to one of my friends house to celebrate her mama's birthday. Playing with my friends is a lot of fun! Here are some pictures from this weekend.

Pictures from my Abuelita's Birthday

I finally got the pictures from last weekends trip to Lake City from my uncle. They look great, as they should since we had a great time. Click here to check them out.

Play Group Pictures

I had my first ever play group at my house with my friends from Storytime, Ava and Desmond and their mama's. It was SO much fun! Desmond loved playing in my Jumperoo. I get to hang out with them again when we go to Ava's house for her mom's birthday this weekend and I can't wiat!

One more month to go....

Today is my 11 month birthday!! I've only got one more month to go until the BIG 1!!!

Weekend Trip

This weekend mama, dada, and I went to Lake City for my Abuelita's birthday. My Uncle Tony was there too. We had a great time. My abuelita's house is so much fun. It has this long hallway in it that I just had to walk down...so, I did! All by myself! I just kept going around with no one holding on to my hands. Everyone was so proud and happy. On the way back home we stopped in Athens to see Amie and her new apartment. When we left there I was NOT happy to hear we had to drive three more hours, but we finally made it back home and today is just like a normal Tuesday. I'll post some pictures soon. My Uncle has them all, but he's coming to visit ME this weekend. :)

Fourth of July

My mama and dada sure know how to celebrate. We had such a great fourth of July yesterday. In the morning we picked up Tommy and Shannon and spent a couple hours at "The Beach" on Lake Powhatan. It was beautiful there. It was my first time swimming in a lake (mama's too). We packed up and headed to Tommy and Shannon's house were we all ate lunch and I napped for a little while. Afterward we went home and showered and changed and headed over to the Chase's for my play-date with Sara Nell who is 2 weeks younger than me. Sara Nell and I got along great and played the whole night. Then the adults took us girls to the downtown festivites. Later that night back at the Chase's we all watched the fireworks. Dada, mama and I headed home after that and I ofcourse fell asleep in the car. Check out the pictures on Shutterfly.

Graduated

I graduated from Baby I swim class today :) Next week I start Baby II . I'm not to fond of this going under water stuff though, but I do like swimming.

Teeth

The prevoius post has an error...I actually have SIX teeth!! Three on top and bottom.

At the Park and More

Mama and Dada took me to the park in front of the library the other day. I had a GREAT time. When we got there two other little girls were there playing and I enjoyed watching them. One day I'll be big enough to play like them :)

I got to try out my new "walking" shoes too. Mama took a video of me walking (with my dada's hand of course). She sent it out to a few people, but if you didn't get it and want to let her know. We took some pictures too.

In other news...I have another tooth coming out! That makes for a total of FIVE teeth! I'm well on my way to having a full set ;)
