Hiking the Looking Glass

Last weekend I "hiked" the Looking Glass with my dada, Tommy and Shannon. Mama couldn't go because she had a lot of work to catch up on. It was a long hike; it took most of the day, but the view from the top was amazing. I hope to go back with mama some day. 

My Artwork

This is just some of my artwork. The last one is a special halloween drawing. The other two were done earlier that week :-) 

Halloween Weekend

This year was my second Halloween, and it pretty cool. My mom made all of our costumes. Mom was Dorothy, dad was the scarecrow, and I was Toto. Everyone loved my cotume :-) We went to two parties during the weekend and then went trick-or-treating on Halloween night down our road. For more pics... 

Trip to Pawley's Island, SC

This past weekend we went to Pawley's Island, SC (it's near Myrtle Beach). The weather was so warm and we got to spend Friday afternoon out on the beach(Garden City). I had a lot of fun walking around and going in the water.

Busy Weekend

This weekend was really busy. But in a REALLY fun way. On Saturday we drove all the way up to Sugar Mountain to go to Oktoberfest. The day was so beautiful. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. And since it's higher up in elevation, the leaves were all changing colors.
Then, on Sunday we drove over to Hickory Nut Gap Farm's pumpkin patch. That was a lot of fun too. Ofcourse I have some pictures, so check them out :-)

Rocking Baby

Compared to way back when she was only 8 months old...

Park Pictures

I just wanted to share some more pictures with everyone. There are a couple pictures from when my play group went to the Aboretum, then when mom took me to both Jones Park and Oakley Park. Check them out on Shutterfly.

Being one has been a lot of fun so far...
Here are a few pictures.

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.
