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?
