Here's another photo taken by Mommy at cousin Camille's first birthday party. Daddy's holding me while I go for grand aunt Gail's bling. Nannie is enjoying watching me grab someone else's jewelry for a change!

Here's a nice multi-generation photo. Daddy's holding me and I'm holding on to his grandmother, my great grandmother, Nannie. Next to Nannie is her husband, Daddy's grandfather, my great grandfather, Bumpo. Mommy took the picture of us all helping to celebrate cousin Camille's First Birthday.

Camille and I had a bash at her first birthday party. It was a hoot. I could barely walk and she was flat on the floor! We are just two party animals! I can't even remember if Mommy or Daddy took the picture.

After a long day touring Washington, I bathed and then thought I'd write a few postcards to friends and family. My nice warm blanket convinced me I needed a few winks so my blog site will have to serve as my postcards to everyone. I can't even remember who took the picture, Mommy or Daddy.

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!

I'm waiting, with Abby, for Kim's son Matt to come home on the school bus and walk up the long front walk. I get almost as excited as Abby does to see him. Photo by Kim.

I love to walk around while somebody helps me balance. And I'm definitely used to smiling for the camera. Not sure if my teeth or my hair will win the race, but they're both filling in nicely, don't you think?

Oh my gosh! Mommy! Quick! Tell Daddy to bring his fire truck! This cake is on fire! No wonder everyone here is so excited! Why are they all singing "Happy Birthday Dear Gracie?" (One Year Old Today!)

Hmmm. This Elmo Birthday Cake tastes pretty good. I think this Birthday Party thing might not be such a bad idea after all. Cake, Ice Cream, Presents...I wonder how soon I can have another one?

On Valentine's Day Mommy took my picture with Kim and Maeve. I've heard that this is the day for sweet treats and Kim's hand looks suspiciously full with more than just Maeve. I need to check this out.

But Mommy, Daddy's outside. You could dress me warm enough. Please, Mommy? Daddy's having all the fun in the snow. Please? Daddy could teach me how to shovel. It looks like such fun. Please? Photo by Mommy.

For some reason Nana Jan wanted this picture of me for her locket. I'm mystified, aren't you?

See Papa? This is where I want my two front teeth to come in. Right over the other two I already have. Someday I'll have them all just like Daddy and Mommy.

My day care provider,Kim, bought this new attention grabber and I got the first test drive. She took my picture, too. Does it show that I like it?

Mommy, Nana, look! I think this would make a perfect place setting for my first birthday party. It's less than three weeks away now. And what do you think of my tiara? Does it clash with my hair color? Photo by Nana Jan.

Here I am at Uno's to help Nana Jan celebrate her birthday. I know I haven't been eating big people's food for too long, but does this look like pizza to you? C'mon. Who do they think they're kidding? Photo by Nana Jan.

Mmmmm. Scrambled eggs. Mommy and I had Sunday morning breakfast together. I consider almost all my meals finger food. I guess that will change as time goes by, but, heck, I'm not quite one year old just yet. In three weeks I won't be able to say that any more. Photo by Mommy.

But Mommy, I have my boots, fleece and hat on. I can play in the snow without getting cold. I can. Really. I can. Please? Please? Photo by Mommy.

Nana Jan brought me this rocking chair and this outfit to try on. She told me they were both my Mommy's when she was little like me. Little like me? My Mommy? Is Nana Jan making this stuff up? Is this a little fib or is it a whopper about this big? Photo by Nana Jan.

I know it's cold out, Mommy. But see my friend outside? She's dressed the same as I am. Can I please go out and play with her? Photo by Mommy.

Mommy snapped my picture while I was dressed up in my casual big girl clothes and shoes. It was too cold to go outside and play so I tried to keep myself busy with the few toys I have here. By the way, hint, hint, I'll be celebrating my first birthday next month. Hard to believe, isn't it?

Hee, hee, hee. Mommy got me laughing so Papa could take this picture. She knows how to tickle my fancy.

Daddy took this picture of Mommy and me in my new hat. For some reason he kept laughing and had a hard time holding the camera still. Mommy had the giggles too. Isn't this what all the Williams college kids are wearing?

Happy New Year everyone. This is one of my new educational toys. Once I've finished reading the instruction manual here, I'll be using every component on it. Photo by Mommy.

Umm. Hi Mommy. I, umm, oh yeah, I was just checking to see if this present was for you, Mommy. Yup, that's it. Checking it for you. Evidence photo by Mommy.

Daddy told me to eat all my breakfast because it would help wake me up and make me strong so I could open all my Christmas presents this Christmas morning. (Don't tell him that I hid a lot of it on my face so we could get to the presents quicker.) Photo by Mommy.

Here's Uncle Brent and I having an "Aha" moment with one of my new educational toys. He's explaining it to me, I've been extremely attentive, and we've both just had an epiphany. It's the season for it, right? Photo by Mommy.

Oops! Good Morning, Mommy. Merry Christmas! Daddy brought me down here early and told me to be very quiet while I opened these presents. I'm sure I didn't wake you. How did you know I was up? Photo by Mommy.
© 2006 TEKfoto - Click In Photo to Enlarge

I know, Mommy. But I still think I should open all of these right now just to be sure they are all okay. Then we can put them back into the stocking to make it easier for you to carry them home for me. Okay? Photo by Grammy Sue.

Cousins and Christmas! Perfect. And all with a None Horse Open Sleigh presented at Great Aunt Gail's house. Abbie, Ava, Camille and Gracie managed to all keep their eyes open at the same time! Miracles do happen. Photo by Gracie's Mommy, Erin.

Mommy snapped my picture just before I began to discreetly, daintily, and delicately open this Christmas present. Yeah, right. Let me at it!

Here I am Christmas morning having a heart to heart with Grandpa Dave. I think he said something about all those presents behind us not being specifically just for me. He's a great kidder. Photo by Grandma Sue.

Imagine that! Nana just whispered to me that Santa Claus is coming tonight! Tonight! I'm flabbergasted.

Wow! This is really neat! Mommy says that it's Baby Jesus' birthday, but I get the presents! Wait a minute! Does this mean he'll get the presents on my birthday, next February 21st?

Okay, this should get some comments. On the left is Emily and behind me is Kaitlyn. They are sisters. Are you with me so far? They are the daughters of my Mommy's cousin. I think they are my second cousins but I'm kind of new to this. We had fun at our family Christmas party anyway. If you think they should be called something other than second cousins, write and let me know.

Oh boy! What a dilemma! I just got this new book that I haven't read yet, but I do love to play with wrapping paper. What to do, what to do? Photo by Grandma Diane.

Great Grandmother Ollie holding me at our Christmas party at Grand Uncle Paul and Grand Aunt Carol's house, I think. Isn't it grand? Kind of confusing for me. Who cares? It's great fun anyway! (Psst! Look closely and you might just see my first tooth!)
