I am starting to get the feeling that I am going to like this holiday. We went out for and put this great smelling tree in the house, hung a bunch of things on it and then a few days later, all these toys appeared underneath. I don’t know what magical powers this tree has, but I like it.
My first Christmas went off well. I got lots of great gifts from family and friends. Here are the pictures to show you…
Also, great pictures at the end of this post of my new favorite thing, Dad’s iPhone! I love to suck on it and bite it. But, my favorite thing is to help him use it. I have already figured out how to call Aunt Trish (several times) and I have mastered the art of putting my head in front of Dad’s when he is using it…again…pictures below.
Within two days, I got to sit on Santa Claus’ lap and experience my first snowfall.
My Santa visit went off without a hitch. Mom and Dad thought it would be a repeat of my last photo session with water-works galore, but it didn’t happen. I was more curious by the big man’s beard then anything else.
Also, there was a major snowfall today and Mom and Dad took some pictures of my first experience in snow. I wasn’t particularly thrilled, especially when there is a perfectly warm house to play in. Enjoy!
Mom decided to dress me as a spider this year for Halloween. Unfortunately, my parents had to attend a wedding so I got to spend my first Halloween with Aunt Trish. This was also my first overnight stay at a strangers house and I did fine.
Aunt Trish also has a bulldog puppy, Oliver. He was not happy with my arrival and I think he was glad to see me go home. In any case, pictures of both Oliver and my costume below.
So, two new developments in my life this week. I have successfully been able to get from a lying down position to a sitting position without help. I first accomplished this when my mom looked away. I was on my back, she looked away and whammo, I was on my tush. This, of course, threw her for a loop. So, she whipped out the video camera and caught the second occurrence of this for you all to enjoy. As you can tell, I was very exciting about this milestone. I also did this one morning to surprise my mom. She came in to my bedroom to check on me and, ta-da, I’m sitting up in my crib.
The second are some pictures taken by my Aunt Tricia picking pumpkins.
Here are some shots of my sweet Easter outfit for 2009. I was going for the “Miami Beach circa 1964″ look. I think I hit it spot on. Note the white linen pants? Didn’t think they made those in baby clothes, did ya?
Also, here is a video of me whoring it up for the camera. I was Mr. Chatterbox there until dad turned the camera on and seeing that red light is simply memorizing.
So, St. Patrick’s Day at the Tobin house is a big deal. I’m talking dress me up in ridiculous outfits big deal. So, here are some shots of one of my two outfits my parents dressed me in today. I know, I was shaking my head on that hat choice as well. But, what can I do? I have not figured out how to work my thumbs yet
As for the other pictures, Dad caught Mom taking a nap on the couch. I joined her, he was jealous…what can I say.
Dad also introduced me to this thing called e-mail. I’m not getting it thus far, but it looks interesting.
Lastly, happy birthday to me. I turned 1-month old March 16, 2009 @ 5:25 AM. Drinks are on me, as long as it’s milk.
