My first Corn on the Cob! MMMMMM!

Even with my four tiny teeth (and not even the top, front two!) I ate this whole cob! I LOVED it and thought it was super cool that I was such a big girl! Yum Yum!

Picnic at the Park

So many slides! Aunt Kymber and I zooooommmed down the blue one, then Uncle Ben and I cracked up when we got stuck in the round one!
Then I had to take a quick break to remove some of the play bark I thought I needed in my shirt! Oops!
'Over here guys!' This is when Omu, Uncle Ben and Aunt Kymber showed up and I got to show them where we needed to go play!
It was plaid short day at the park! Papa, Uncle Ben and I all had them on! Go us!

Passing out some sandwiches and string cheese. Yum Yum!

We had a super fun picnic this past super sunny week! I can't wait for summer when we can do them all the time!

More of Ya Ya and Pop's Visit!

When Ya Ya and Pop came to visit we did all sorts of things. Here you see us playing at the Children's Museum, romping around at home, exploring Downtown Seattle and my personal favorite, Pop sharing his cupcake!

Play Time at the Children's Museum

I love this place! We go a bunch and I always have such a great time! Here are just a few pics from one of our trips!

Forward Facing Car Ride

This post is a bit late, BUT here is my very first car ride forward facing! I like it now because I can see all sorts of stuff and my mama likes it because she finally gets to sit in the front seat again!

Just a few funny faces

This is what happens when you go on a ferry ride with my Uncle Ben

Just me being goofy during a picnic ...

Here I am just hangin' out in my pack while Papa checks out the directions!

Uncle Ben wanted me to pose but clearly there were other more interesting things in another direction!

YUP Papa put me in an old army cannon at Fort Casey! Cracked us both up!

And this is me just jammin' out to just how hilarious I am!

Visit from YaYa and Pop!

Ya Ya and Pop came to visit me and we did all sorts of fun things!

Here Pop is showing me how to ride a horse...

Ya Ya helped me climb the awesome pirate ladder!

Ya Ya and Pop did all sorts of slides with me but this one I did by myself and they caught me at the end!

Here I am showing my Pop how to play chess.... sadly I had to let him win!

I thought Pop's ring was so much fun - especially when we were playing the drums at the Children's Museum!

Grandpa Thompson got me a cool sports center for my birthday. Pop and Papa tried so hard to put it together, but I had to step in and provide some guidance!

Ya Ya brought me all sorts of fun presents from the East Coast. Here she is helping me open them up! I think I loved the packaging just as much as the presents!

At my first Birthday party, here I am with my Pop and Ya Ya. I am so happy they came to visit, I miss them and hope they come back again soon! Love you!

Yummy Cake and a BIG Mess

Here I am enjoying the best birthday cake EVER! We celebrated in Oregon with some of my family and boy did I make a lovely mess with this yummy cake!

1st Birthday Party - Lots of Friends and Family!

This was my first, second and third round of birthday presents! My Baltimore family sent me all sorts of fun new clothes, books and toys! Grandpa Thompson sent me an awesome play center that Pop and Papa put together for me while I helped! I had a blast with all of the paper too!

Here I am in outfit 1 of the day with my cake! I started off in my dress ....

Then after some cake, I ended up in my Birthday Girl shirt and some 'cozy pants.' I had a hard time in my dress and don't think I want to have to wear one ever again!

AND THEN the cake hit me and I needed a whole new outfit, AGAIN! By this time, I was so tired. I had played and played and played with everyone at my party. So I laid down on the floor for a little rest....

I had a great birthday week! I went to see my Great-Grandma Helen and Great-Grandpa Les and Uncles Mark and Greg in Portland, OR; My Ya Ya and Pop came in from Baltimore, MD; My Great-Grandma Mary came in from the east side of the mountains along with my Sperry family friends; My Great-Uncle Bill and Great-Aunt Cathy came to my party plus a whole bunch of wonderful friends from Seattle! I just loved seeing all of my family and friends for my celebration at Omu and Tutu's house! Thank you to everyone who has loved me this year and all the years to come. Mama and Papa are so proud of me and can't wait to watch me grow up too! We all hope to see everyone soon!
