My First Birthday Party!

Will turned 1! He's my favorite boy from playgroup and I was SO excited to go to his birthday party, which was also MY first birthday party and boy was it fun! When do I get to have one of these?

Here's my outfit... The theme was monkeys so mom thought I should go as a leopard! Aunt Rinny... mom says this is your kind of outfit!

Some funny faces...


Me and mommy...

Shhh... she's telling me a secret!


Will had 2 cakes! One for all of us and one for him.


Mom realized REALLY quickly that the bow was going to have to go!


Here's me in the birthday boy Will...


Yep, he's trying to hold my hand...


And then I got my first kiss!


Romeo, Romeo wherefore out thou Romeo... errgh... I mean Will...


Here are some pictures of Will eating his cake... he didn't know what to think at first...


Then he looked right at me like "Come on Milla, come help me"...


YUMMO!!!


Mommy let me try out Will's Zebra... I can't wait to have my own bouncing Zebra!


Then mom and I had some cake... well I really just had icing...


Doesn't mommy look happy?


Here are all the babies that were at the party... aren't we cute?

Notice the little boy next to me keeps grabbing at me...



Well I finally gave him a piece of my mind! I guess I'm tough after all! I was ready to hit him before mom pulled me away... He's not my Will!

Granparent Visit & Houdini

Last night mom got me all excited about Grandma Kitty and Papa Don coming to visit... these pictures were taken at 12am in the morning... all smiles... If I could talk I would have exclaimed the same way the kids in the Disney World commercial do "I'm too excited to sleep"...




Today mommy made me take a nap before Grandma and Papa got here and I pulled a little Houdini on her... Yes I still sleep in a swaddle... I know... I know... I'm WAY too old for one, BUT mommy says I sleep MUCH better all bundled up... I won't admit it, but she's right... today it was hot so she swaddled me in just my diaper and I got 1 arm and 1 leg out of the swaddle... she says I'm working on my magician act!

Thanks Nana!!!

I finally fit into the Gymboree outfit that Nana bought me... mom LOVES this outfit and this is the second time I've worn it. Thanks Nana!

Today mom and I went to the mall with our new friends Kat & Corbin... Corbin is 1 week younger than me, but he's a BIG boy! He's already wearing 12 to 18 month clothes!! Mom and Miss Kat met on a mommy board online, seems normal to mom since she met daddy online. :)

Look at me crossing my legs like a big girl...

I love that the cat loves bows! She always comes to visit during photo shoots & that makes me...


HAPPY!!!! AHHHH!!!!


Crossing my legs again... chilling out on the couch... mom thinks I look really old in this picture... I told her I can't look too old, I'm a BABY for crying out loud!


Ok these pictures make me look little again... BIG rocking chair, little girl...




Here's Corbin & I... In the second picture I'm asking Corbin if he wants to ditch our moms and go get ice cream!

Patriotic Cutie Patootie

Happy Memorial Day! Mom tried to explain Memorial Day to me today, but here's what I observed... 1) Daddy gets to stay home with me an extra day in a row and 2) I get a BIG bow to wear!

Check out the cheeks...


Oh and I also know it's a holiday because I got a present... A walker! Mom says she's going to have to eat her words to Grandma Kitty because she told Grandma Kitty she would never buy me a walker, but I LOVE it! I haven't quite figured out how to go forward, but I can go backwards and I really like just being independent and checking out the cat and dog on my own...

Ok I'm TOTALLY teething! These pictures are posted in the order mommy took them... notice that one minute I'm fine and the next I'm throwing a fit...

Mmmmm one hand is good...


Two hands is even better!


Check me out I'm moving!


Back to one hand...


Ok now I'm frustrated... my teeth hurt!


But then I see dad and I got happy again and I waved (I've been working on waving)...


Here daddy.... I'll pull off this toy and share with you...


Are you watching me dad...


Mom says she taught me this look... it's one of her specialties...


What do you mean I look like you mom?


I'm breaking down again...


Seriously.... now I've lost it!
