1 Year Old!

I'm turning ONE! 

I hit some new milestones this month. I started walking on my own, I got my first tooth, and I talk jibber jabber all the time, as if I'm speaking a foreign language. I understand a lot of different words and phrases, like "do you want a bottle?" and "go get the ball" and "let's go outside." My favorite word to say is "whoa!" I say it when I fall down or see something cool. I can also say 'ya' in response to questions and of course mom and daaaaaaaaaa. 

I weigh 20.5 pounds.

I like to eat whatever mom and dad are eating. Blueberries are my absolute favorite along with pasta, tomatoes, cheese, and chicken.

I think dad is the funniest person in the world. I smile, giggle, and get super excited just looking at him. 

I still love other kids and have about 4 different girlfriends. I like to share snacks and play with them.

I like our new house. My favorite part are the large windows that are low to the floor so I can look out of them, the island in the kitchen so I can chase mom around and around, and the cupboards that open on both ends so I can play peekaboo.

We are having a birthday party this weekend when the grandparents can be here so expect some pictures after that. Until then here are some pictures of what's been happening this last month.

 Here I am trying to help unpack. I could easily pull myself up on top of boxes and scare mom.

 I love pushing my cars around

 and pushing anything else around that moves...

 Grandma, papa, Happy Jack and grandma Shirley, and Aunt Patty and Uncle Gib came for a visit and we took the Gates of the Mountains boat tour. I loved watching the water splash around.

 Little Giligan

 Jake Rachel and the kids came for a visit too. We had  a good time playing at Memorial park, sharing snacks, and getting wet.

 Ada boo!

 

We went for a swim at canyon ferry lake and accidently picked a muddy shore. I loved the mud and had gritty diapers the next day. Yum yum. Mom felt like a failure but I had a great time!

Jake and Dad did some fishing while I ate mud. And yes, these pictures are from Rachels blog.

The boys went 4 wheeling up Refrigerator canyon...me and the girls went out to eat and shopping. For more pics on these adventures check out Rachels blog.

 I have a great laugh!

 Fishing with dad on Canyon Ferry. I look a little worried in this picture.

 Dad caught one little fish and a big boat. A boat cut through his line when his back was turned and he pulled up on his poll and yelled, "I've got a big one!" Haha

 The skipper

 My first popcicle.

 I'm starting to be a little nicer to my books and will actually look at them instead of trying to eat them.

 mmmm pudding

 My first ride in my bike trailer! I love going down the hills fast and I shout and squeal in delight.

 "I'm going to jump on you mom!

 4 wheeling with mom and dad...we climbed one of the highest peaks in the area

 

My first tooth...and perhaps my second one coming in right next to it.

11 Months and July Adventures

 I'll be 11 months old tomorrow and I get cuter everyday! I weigh 20 lbs and 2 oz. I am super active and don't like to sit still. I sleep really well at night, usually from 8:30 until 6:30. I am beginning to transition from two naps a day to one long one.I am super close to walking on my own. I like to push my walker around and walk on my tip toes. I love giving high fives and being around other kids.

I like to play in water...and try to eat rocks when we go to the lake.

At the beginning of the month we went to the collins family reunion outside of helena. It was my first camping trip and I had a lot of fun sleeping in a cabin, going for walks along the creek, and playing with my cousins. Cousin Quinn got to stay with us for a couple weeks. We had a great time fishing and 4 wheeling together.

Playing in the pool at the reunion with Brielle.
Papa and grandma came for the 4th of July. We watched the mini parade, grilled some steaks, and 4 wheeled to Castle town (a ghost town).

I enjoyed Grandma's yummy red velvet cupcakes...a 4th of July tradition!

Castle town

Love those gummy smiles!

When i think something is funny I like to wrinkle my nose!

How could anybody resist my beautiful big eyes?

I am starting to turn into a Daddy's boy :)

Mr. mischevious...

We have been busy getting ready for our big move on Monday. I love to play in the boxes and push them around while making car noises. I also think its funny to pull everything out that mom puts into the boxes. So packing has been an adventure in itself but we are so excited for our new adventure in Helena!

Once we get settled mom will post lots of videos of me crawling and walking and our new house.
