Dad loaded up the camera with a host of different trips over the past few weeks. So, here is one posting that includes all of them.
First, we went to Merrymead Farms in Lansdale to eat some ice cream and look at the animals. Second, dad brought the camera to my weekly Gymboree class where I had a lot of fun. Lastly, mom and dad took the day off of work and took me to the Please Touch Museum. That was the highlight of my month so far, as you can tell by the pictures.
Mom and Dad hired a professional photographer they met at a friends wedding. The photographer is named Mike and his website is located here –> http://www.ashimagery.com/
The photos were taken at the Morris Arboretum. There are a lot of photos, I hope you enjoy them!
Mom, Dad and I went to the Conshohocken St Patrick’s Day Parade. It was pretty chilly out, but I still managed to wear my sunglasses and Irish hat. So there! Back at the house after the parade, Dad kept shooting pictures and got some good ones while the sun was coming in the windows.
I had my 1st Birthday Party on Sunday February 14th, just 2 days before my actual birthday. I had a great group of friends and family to help me celebrate. The gift giving was very generous as was the icing on the cake. Note the great job my Aunt Beth, Aunt Trish and Mom did on those Sesame Street cupcakes! Jealous?
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!
It was bed time for me a couple of nights ago and my late nap gave me a extra little burst of energy. So, wearing some sweet new moose pajamas, Dad got some pictures before I went down for the night. 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.
