First haircut!

My hair has been getting in my eyes lately. So Mommy took me to her friend Stacy for my first haircut ever. This is the before picture.

I wasn't sure what she was doing with those sharp things.. but I did OK.

What are you doing back there? Don't lose those beautiful curls!

This is the after picture. I told her just a little off the top.

But at least its not in my eyes anymore!

Happy New Year!

It was a busy and fun holiday season for me this year!

I met Santa TWICE this year! But this is as close as I got.

Here I am at Christmas in my special fancy dress with my big cousin, Isa!

We got a TON of snow over the Christmas vacation. Daddy was pulling me down the street in a sled. It was fun!

Here I am in my Santa jammies playing dress up with mommy.

Here I am in my new monkey hoodie. I wonder why my daddy calls me monkey?

Happy Halloween!

Here I am at school for Halloween. I was dressed as a Spartan cheerleader. Go green!

Then after school, Mommy dressed me up as a monkey.

Cute, huh?

Here's me and my pal Nate. He lives next door. He was a pirate. ARRRR!

Visit to see Grandma and Grandpa

Mommy and I went up north to visit Grandma and Grandpa. I had so much fun. Just look at the pictures!

Grandpa knows all the best rides. He must have had some practice.

I have a great view from up here. Thanks, Grandpa!

Grandma has the coolest piano. It plays all by itself!

It's all happening at the zoo!

We went to the zoo on Sunday. The weather was perfect! It was so much fun. I love the animals. Especially the hippo and the giraffes and the gorillas and the chimps and the bears and the eagles and the..

Zebras!

We went on the train for the first time. I'm not too sure what to think of it.. but it was OK.

Daddy says he likes taking me for a walk. But I have him fooled.

I'm the one taking him for a walk!

Daddy's showing me something cool. Maybe the llamas or the flamingos!

Where did the summer go!!!???

I've been having so much fun since I turned 1 year old. I went to the zoo for the first time. I've been to Wisconsin and Chicago. I've gone swimming a whole bunch! I've really started walking.. especially since I got my new big girl shoes.

Here I am in my little pool. I got it from Grandma and Grandpa Nolan. I love this thing!

Last Friday, I had something called surgery. I'm not sure what my adenoids were or why they had to be removed. But they're gone. Along with that little skin tag by my ear. I played with it a whole bunch. Now it's gone too.

Mommy and Daddy said I did really good. The anesthesia was kind of a mess.. but I bounced back in no time. Now there's no more snoring.. no more sleep apnea.. and I hope the ear infections go away too! After it was all over, Grandma and Grandpa Thomas brought me a chocoloate frosty (mmm) and a stuffed Baby Snoopy (fun!)

Birthday video

Here's video from Saturday's party. I wasn't sure what was going on at first.. but then I got it. Everyone was singing to me! It was so much fun! I love birthdays!!!!
