Spring Break!

I am one lucky chic- my Uncle Jonathan chose to come and see me on his spring break rather than do something fun with his friends!  I tried my best to make sure he had a good time while he was here- let him sleep really late, made his favorite cookies, tried to be as patient as I could while waiting a turn for his iphone...
We had loads of fun and I sure am glad I have someone like him around.
We played...

and lounged...

went out...

and practiced walking...
I've really come a long way in the last 7 days, I'm not walking everywhere, but don't worry, I'm working on it.

Dancing Bee and Me

Grandmothers and Auntie

I've had a very fun couple of weeks.  Daddy went to Haiti with Gramps to help the people there, so Aunt Lauren, Grammie, and Nana all came to take my mind off of him being gone.  And IT WORKED.  What fun. 

Aunt Lauren helped feed me and I helped feed her:

Practiced my walking- I'm not too motivated, but will take a couple steps if I'm distracted by something (particularly iphones/iPads).

And loved on my ballerina hippo mat from Nana.  I love everything soft these days.

And just played in general

TEven though I badly missed Daddy- it turned out to be great week.  thanks everyone for coming to play.  I'll post some pictures of Daddy's trip soon too.

Not much going on around here lately.

Daddy has been working a lot so Mommy and I have had a hard time finding things to keep us busy.  One afternoon while I was bored I found a new trick-
Flushing!

This is the coolest.  I could do this over and over and OVER.  Too bad Uncle JonJon pointed out that I waste 3.8 liters of water with each delightful, satisfying, FLUSH. (how does he know that?)

Taking a look back

We've been a little sentimental around here lately, looking through pictures of the last year.  Here's a little reminder of the year I have had.

Whew, where has the time gone?  I don't know about you, but this year has flown by for me- here's a punch list of my big accomplishments:

• I grew over 10 inches taller.
• I exactly tripled my weight.
• I can sit up,  and stand on my own- just hold your horses on the walking thing, I'm NOT ready.
• I eat everything but my favorite food is any kind of cheese, then broccoli, and then shrimp.
• I can say a few words.
• I have been on a 10 plane trips, and have been to 7 states.
• I have been to sea level and also to a mountaintop in the same day.
• I finally stopped sleeping in a swaddle (3 weeks ago)- I know it just took awhile.
• I drink out of a big girl plastic cup with no lid.
• I continue to be a GREAT sleeper.  12+ hours every night and usually 2 decent naps too.
• I know how to buy stuff on any phone you give me.
• I got a cousin, Jack.

So- as you can see it's been a busy year. I can't wait to see what will happen during my "#1" year.

Oh yeah- and Happy Valentines Day to you too.

yes, my dress is a little large, but the heating vent blowing up doesn't help either.
