Easter 2012

We packed a picnic and headed out for Easter lunch 

 Daddy picked me and Mommy some flowers from the field

Here I am with Mommy 

Here Mommy you can have my flowers too 

 Enjoying lunch with Daddy

 No Daddy you can't have any more of my crackers

I am really excited about my Easter basket 

I got a bunny from Grandma, a Mr. Potato Head bubble blower, plastic eggs, peanut butter eggs, a carrot made of reese pieces and a 4 square bouncy ball 

Seriously, I can eat these?

Rough housing with Daddy after we both had too much candy.

Bluebonnet Pictures

 Every child in Texas is obligated to get pictures taken in a field of bluebonnets each spring.

My first year in review

 3 days old in Grandpa's hands

 1st day at home and I meet my best bud Scout

 Staring out the window from the green chair at one month

 Sleeping in the pink blanket that Aunt Angela made for me at one month

 Scout rarely left my side when I was this young

 He would make sure I was clean

 He would curl up next to me when I cried and was only comfortable laying on a pillow on my stomach 

 2 months in the green chair

2 months in my swing chair

 3 months.  Sleeping on Mommy

 4 months in the new blue chair at the cottage

 Grabbing my toes at 4 months

 Scout stopped playing in the river long enough to come and get our picture taken

 5 months and we were back in Texas with the green chair

I was starting to army crawl 

6 months in the green chair 

Mommy's favorite picture of me in my bear hat. 

I learned to use my hands to grab and poor Scout lost a lot of fur before I learned to be gentle when I pet him.

 7 months in the green chair

 Optical illusions make it appear that I'm standing

 Scout started to steer clear of me by this point and had to be bribed for this picture.

At 8 months I started to climb into boxes and baskets 

At 9 months I set up my office by the front door so I could watch the world go by 

 I became an avid reader and could turn pages by myself at 10 months

 I could feed myself all sorts of fun foods by 11 months

And I learned how to walk! 

 I would take rides in my wagon

Scout would even come around a little more now that I learned how to pet and not grab

 366 days with the leap year, 862 naps, 2,148 nursings and bottles, 4,383 diaper changes...ahhh who is counting?  I'm one year old!!!

I didn't want to get my hands dirty at first so I went in face first 

I realized I could get more cake in my mouth by using my hands.  

Learning bad habits at the dinner table

Daddy taught me how to mimic Rudy Huxtable and her hot dog chant
