Daddy took this picture of Mommy and me on the mall at Washington, DC. I kept looking for the stores. What the heck kind of mall is this for a couple of girls to visit?

Mommy took this picture of Daddy and me in front of our hotel in Washington, DC before we set off for our day of sightseeing. Seems like we walked for miles and miles, but saw all kinds of important government buildings and the blossoming cherry trees. We also visited museums. But the best thing for me to see here was Daddy. I miss him when he's away for emergency response training.

Daddy took our picture in front of our nation's Capitol building. He's training with FEMA and we joined him for the weekend. It's Cherry Blossom Festival Week so it was very busy. I was very good for Mommy on our airplane flight down and back. We had fun.

Mommy was telling me, "Look like an angel," as I sat and posed with Annabelle for Papa. Did I get it right?

Here I am ready to walk over to Mommy who's coaxing me so Papa can get a picture of some of my earliest steps. Soon I'll be running. Then the fun will begin for Mommy and Daddy!

I love it! I found this new umbrella stroller when I woke up and couldn't wait to jump in and try it with my baby doll, Annabelle. It's easy to get into, and let's me look all around. Okay, Mommy, put down the camera and push!

I posed for Papa Tom to celebrate my first 13 months. I've got more teeth coming in, my hair is starting to fill in and I've begun walking. Guess I'm all set for now. What's next, retirement?

Kitty, pay attention! See? It says right here if I ask Mommy to take off your tags we could be in serious violation of federal law! Now don't bring it up again. Let me read you a different story and then we'll go for a walk.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day everyone!

When I first get up I'm not always ready to tackle the world. So some mornings Mommy gives me my morning wakeup drink, I grab my EllyNap and just chill out in my arm chair. Mommy & Daddy gave it to me for my first birthday and it works for me, you know?.

Can you keep a secret? Yesterday Mommy spotted me walking down the hall carrying Daddy's slipper. It's the first time anyone's seen me walking on my own! Let's keep it between you and me, okay? I'll let you know when it's okay to tell everyone else.

When I came home from vacation we had a pizza party with some of my friends. I'm checking to see if Ben has any pizza hidden in his clenched fist while Hailey holds him down for me. Nate is attempting to get away with a slice or two hidden in his cheeks. Just kidding! We're all trying Mommy's patience as she tries to get us all to look at the camera at the same time. Never gonna happen!

Here we are, Dakota and yours truly, posing for Mommy so she can take our picture together. I'm still working on my hair and teeth, but Dakota has all hers right now. She's so much older than I am!

I'm enjoying my breakfast while visiting at my friend Dakota's house during my vacation. She's in the background dancing to Wiggles. You can see most of my new teeth, but I'm working on more of them. Just can't figure out how to get them to show up in the sequence I'd like. Photo by Mommy.

Kim is my daycare provider. She came to my birthday party along with her daughter Tracy. I was happy to see them at my house and have them help me celebrate my first year with Mommy and Daddy. Thank you everyone for your comments, cards, wishes and gifts. How soon do I have another birthday party?

Somehow I got trapped inside this contraption. Grammy Sue is helping me, but I think she's enjoying my predicament way too much! I don't know how I get into these situations, but hopefully I learn from this not to ever be caught again, on the floor, under a bar stool!
