My First Steps!!!

I took a step with Dad and then Mom grabbed the camera so these are officially my FIRST steps!!!!

My Teeth!!

Aren't they cute?!



Since I got my new teeth I'm feeling like a big person so today I decided that since mom always read to me, I would read to her! Here is a video...



And then another video because mom thinks it's really funny. I accidentally dumped some water and it was slippery stuff!



Tonight we are going to the drive in movie. I'm really excited because last time Dad gave me a taste of some milkshake and I got to sit in the front seat of the truck while they watched the movie. I fell asleep but it was much more fun than staring at the backseat. We had a really busy day today. I spent the morning with Dad so Mom could sleep after work and then we just cleaned out the garage. We are having a garage sale next weekend! And then only 1 more week until we can live in our new house. I'm selling some baby stuff and I hope it makes another baby really happy. Talk to you later!

They're Here!!

They're here! They're here! My top two teeth are here! Thank goodness that is over with! Mom says they are really cute but I think they feel pretty funny. I can't wait to show you a picture later.

Lake Tahoe Rocks!

Uncle Justin graduated from college this weekend so Mimi, Papa, Aunt Ashley and her boyfriend all met us in Lake Tahoe to celebrate! I had the best time ever!! It is so beautiful there, and I really like their grass! It doesn't hurt like our grass. I got to try so many new things. First I got to play in the sand for the first time ever, and I really liked it! Then I got to ride on the swings at the playgroud. We don't have any swings in Las Vegas. I got to watch mama and dad play volleyball. They even let me eat watermelon and cantelope! It was so good. I ate so much I couldn't got to sleep at all that night! I hope I get to go back real soon. Uncle Justin is moving to Alaska so I hope mom takes me there some day. Here are some pictures from the trip! We took a lot but these are my favorites.

Isn't it so pretty there?


Playing in the nice grass

Yuck Mom!!


I'm gonna get you!



Raaaaaa!


Me, Mom and Dad


With Mom


At the beach








Here is the whole family!




I knew that if I kept making a lot of noise on the airplane mom would give me something good, and I was right!



The icing on the cake!

Dance, dance, dance!

Have I ever told you how much I like blueberries?



Hey, how'd those get back there?



I'm going to Lake Tahoe this weekend to see my uncle Justin graduate from college. I am so excited. I also get to see Aunt Ashley. I miss them both and hope they miss me. I get to ride on the airplane which is one of my favorite things to do!! I love it so much I just cannot go to sleep, even if it's naptime! I like to stay up and talk to mom and dad.

I had a lot of fun this week because I learned how to dance! Now I dance all the time, I just can't stop! I got rhythm too! Mom says that I dance better than Dad!Maybe someday I can go to The Ellen Show and dance with her! I love that show and always watch it with mama.




The only bummer right now is that I have teeth coming in. They hurt so bad :( I want them to either go back or come out!! Mom is telling me it will be over soon but I just don't know how much I can take, and my toys starting to all taste the same.

PICTURES FROM THIS MORNING!

For my mom

This morning dad told me to be nice to mom because it was a special day. So I made sure that I was up really early to wake her up so her special day would be extra long. Mom didn't like that too much. She made me play with dad downstairs but that gave us time to get her present ready. I got her a book that I want to read to her when I get older so she knows that she is special. Dad got her a picture frame that changes pictures like the tv. Mom liked my gift better I think. We don't have a lot of time with mom today because she has to work tonight. So we are eating some breakfast with Papa and Mimi and then going to the park. The park is really fun. Oops just pooped my pants, got to go. Love you mom, service please.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

I love you Mimi and Granna! I hope you have a good mom's day, you deserve it!

You made me a mother.

To my son,

It took me a whole year to get pregnant with you. God showed me a struggle because he wanted to make sure that I was ready. I had achieved a lot in my life already and I was just 23! I thought being a mom would be a piece of cake! It takes someone special to be a mother. That is what I have learned in the past year. I used to think, anyone can raise a child, but now I know that it is not that easy. It is more emotionally challenging than it is physically. I'm glad God gave me that struggle, because now I realize just how amazing having a son is.

I never knew that...
I would feel so lonely with you just sleeping down the hall.
My heart would ache when you would cry.
The desire to spoil you would be so strong!
The sound of your laugh brings tears to my eyes.
That watching Daddy play with you is the highlight of my day.
Feeding you would bring me such joy.
Rocking you to sleep on Friday night is more fun than going out with my friends.
Watching you jump in your jumperoo was more fun than anything on tv.
I would have a mini heart attack every time you fall.
That I could love your father so much.
Watching you eat could be so much fun!
I wouldn't miss my old life.
Spending every waking minute with you never gets tiring.
I love Peek-a-boo :)


You have taught me...
That I 'thought' I was happy before you came along.
To respect my body, so I can be around for you longer.
That nothing comes between a mother and her child.
To be strong, and stand up for myself because I am an adult.
How to be spiritual.


I never understood how someone could risk their life for another out of love, but now know. I will do anything in my power to protect you.

Caleb, I love you. Thank you for making me a mother. I couldn't be more proud of you!

Love, Mommy

Laugh it up!

Here is a funny video for your viewing pleasure!

Busy Week!

I have so much tell you! Mama has been slacking and putting off my blog. First of all, we're moving! Yep, isn't the exciting?! Mama and Daddy are buying a house. They are really happy. We've been there a lot this week. We get to move in June 3rd. Mama has been making me help her clean the closets so that the move is easy. I tell mama that if she makes me do grown-up chores and eat grown-up food then I get to do grown-up things, like play golf!



Here I am slaving away in the kitchen. He he, just kidding. I was making mama lunch.



Here I am laughing at mama because she is so crazy sometimes!



I got to go to another birthday party this weekend. It was so much fun! It was a pool party!! I got to wear my new swim shorts and get in the water. At first it was really cold but then I really liked it. Mama let me taste some cake and icecream but she didn't get any pictures because she said I was a handful.

I also finally gave in and said mama. I was trying to hold out on her because I thought it was funny. I've been saying dada, gaga, baba... I know mom was getting a little worried that her time was never coming. She's happy now though. Now I'm working on dog.

Oh and speaking of dog, I learned how to throw the ball to Honey! I have a video to show you.


Did I mention how much I love going outside? It is my favorite thing to do. Sometimes mom is busy so I just stare out the glass door all day. Sometimes she lets me go out and I like to pick up the rocks. By the way, I'm starting to like the grass more.

I'm going to Mary Anne's today and I'm going to have a lot of fun with the kids! I can't wait!
