Happy Earth Day...and 10-month birthday to me!

Family Fun in Sun River

My parents and I took a road trip last weekend to Sun River in Central Oregon for a little getaway. I loved having both of my parents to myself the whole weekend.

My favorite part was swimming in the pool! I learned how to jump in and go under water. I can't wait for this summer!

Happy Easter!

I woke up this morning to find my first Easter basket!

My first Easter was also chock full of things I learned to do for the very FIRST time. I kept my mom & dad very busy with the camera showing them all of the fun things I can do... but I move very fast!

I can now clap my hands in excitement

I love trying to pull up to my feet on my own...I'm getting very brave!

I'm finally crawling on my hands & knees instead of the army crawl on my belly

I've also learned to get from a crawling to position to sitting up...which I love!

Oh, I almost forgot...I've learned to be monkey wrangler, too

I'm starting to learn "nose" and "eyes"


And giving kisses...


And tickles!

Happy Spring!

Mom, Dad & I have been enjoying working in the backyard getting our garden ready for summer. I love being throw up in the air! I can't wait to run around this summer and learn how to garden. We will have lots of fruits and veggies to eat!! Peaches, strawberries, raspberries, tomatoes, broccoli, peas...yum!

I think my dad is the coolest! Look at this trellis he built.

I'm 9 months old

Today I turned 9 months old. I celebrated by having a great day outside in 70-degree sunny weather! It was also the first day of Spring. I'm growing very fast, wearing 12-month sized clothes, army crawling and scooting all around, talking up a storm and smiling...as always! My favorite sounds to make are loud screams because I like to see the reaction I can get from people around me. I also make the "daadaa", "baabaa" and "maamaa" sounds, especially when I'm riding in the car. I really like to play by myself with my toys but my favorite toys these days are plastic containers and any kind of bottle that I can put in my mouth. My parents seem to be in a better mood as I'm sleeping a lot more at night, too!

Teething biscuit...mmmm!

Mom let me try my first teething biscuit when we went on a playdate at a local coffee place. It was so awesome! But, she took it away quickly when I started to bite big chunks that I could easily choke on. She said I'll get to try it again soon but for now I'm not ready. ;)
