Wow!

Its been 4 months since we've last blogged! Grown-ups...they're always busy!! Its now the holiday season & its been snowing in Seattle for days. Of course there are no snow controls for the roads so we all have cabin FEVER! My mom recently stopped working (laid off) so she's been staying home w/me. I love it but I think she needs to go back to work. Money...another thing grown-ups always stress about! In the meantime, we spend lots of time together playing & reading & cooking dinners & trying to get ready for Christmas... We have a beautiful Christmas tree & my mom found a way to hang stockings even though we don't have a mantle! More soon!

Happy Birthday to me!!!

I'm 1 year old & I can sing & dance & play all by myself & climb stairs & torture my dog sophie. I'm 17 lbs & 29" tall. I'm healthy (never been sick), happy, have a real passport & have already been out of the country! Watch out guys...I'm a sagitarius!

My parents had a few people over for a birthday celebration + I pre-celebrated in Jamaica with lots of my family. I'm a lucky babe!

Merry Christmas!

My parents took what seemed like 100s of these pictures - trying to capture just one of me and this Santa hat. No way. I wouldn't have it. This is as good as it gets!

BTW, I've just learned how to NOT cooperate so I've been testing my parents lately. So fun...you should have seen how many times I threw this darn hat off!

Joanna & Fred got married in Jamaica!

The wedding was on the beach. It was amazing! Auntie Joanna looked stunning & I walked down the isle with my mom & dad (well, dad carried me).







Just a few pics. More soon!

Summer's End...

At the zoo w/dad, mom, Gigi & Poppie. My favorite...the giraffe!

So much fun!

My First Time On An Airplane...

I was good as gold. I sang & played & crawled all over Mom & Dad. If I keep it up, maybe they'll travel with me more often!

Post from mom...

Its been awhile since we posted! We've been busy...I went back to work, we moved and have been traveling - just got back from Stella's first cross country trip. I can't believe summer's nearly over and I've yet to go to the beach!

I returned from our whirlwind trip to Indiana last night. We threw a bridal shower for Joanna. So wonderful to see everyone. Our trip was jam packed! Christian & Stella are still there - in South Bend visiting his family. I survived my first day without seeing Stella & have 3 more to go. Christian is having a blast with her...I think they're really bonding. I plan on catching up w/work, friends, hang out w/Sophie, hope to finish unpacking...maybe I'll even hang our artwork!

Our camera is still in Indiana but I'll be downloading the photos soon, as they're were lots of firsts! Stay tuned.

BFF...

My first friend, Sienna! She visited me from San Diego when I was 8 weeks old! Our moms have been best friends since middle school.

My First Trip (Lake Chelan w/the Tilevs)

We had so much fun!!

I've been practicing...

• Sitting up (Not so much)
• Standing (Love it!)
• Tummy time (Ug)
• Rolling over (From tummy to back...got it down!)
• Eating real food (Yum)

My First Roll!
