Happy FIRST Birthday to ME!!!!

 Check out my mini birthday cake!  The flower tastes yummy!

All ready to go to Sea World again!

My mommy and daddy singing happy birthday to me!

Wow, I had such an amazing day with my mommy and daddy!  We went to Sea World again and I got to see orcas, beluga whales, polar bears, flamingos, and tons of fishes!  I can't wait to go back!

Pre birthday celebration...

 Playing with mommy and daddy at lunch

 Checking out the cute penguins with mommy at Sea World

I had such a busy pre-day celebration!  We went to stay at the U.S. Grant hotel in downtown San Diego and went to Sea World!  My mommy and daddy took my to Extraordinary Desserts after dinner to pick out a b day cake for my big day tomorrow but I was passed out by then!  Oh well, I'm sure they picked out something yummy for me...

New hair do...

 

My mommy likes to put clips in my hair and I just don't like it.  This time she tried to do a mini pony tail on the top of my head and I still don't like it.  It's harder for me to pull out too since it's a little harder to reach!

Swim with daddy part 2

 Wheeee!!!  Daddy's swirling me around to warm me up for my lesson.

 Calm as can be...

 My daddy tosses me up so high!

 1....2....3...DUNK!  I like to keep my eyes (and mouth) open underwater...

My instructor said I'm doing a great job!  

My daddy was a bit concerned to do the swim lesson again with me since I wasn't a happy camper last time he did it with me, but he was quite proud of how I've improved!  Hopefully he'll join me again!

Beer???

My daddy let me have a whif of his beer.  My mommy was not pleased... 

Big Girl!

Today, I'm officially 11.3 weeks old!!!  I'm a big girl now so I was upgraded to my new Britax car seat.  It's soooo comfy!  There's like a million cushions in it (literally)!

Lemons?

 This was my first experience with a lemon.  My Auntie Tina brought one over for me to play with.  It seemed okay...

After: It was a bit on the tangy side...  Not what I was expecting (hence my pouty lip)...

Go Trojans!

I love my new USC shirt!  We had such a fun filled day playing with my Aunties!  I was pooped by the end of the day...

Swim: before and after

 I'm so excited to go to swim class!  I'm all ready to go!!  I hope my hair piece will stay on while I'm in the water...  I need to make sure I keep my bangs out of my eyes when I swim.

I was so pooped after my lesson.  I'm ready for bed now.  But, look how nice my hair still looks!!!

So much to learn...

 I'm trying to figure out how to stand when I'm in the crawling position...  It's complicated!

 I'm showing my mommy how flexible I am!  I can do the splits all day long...  I hope I can start gymnastics classes soon!

While standing, I like to practice my peroettes!  I'm getting ready for my ballet classes already!

So sweet...

My cousin Josh is so sweet!  He likes to give me kisses...

Crawling Part 2

Dinner time

 I know it's not very ladylike to put my feet on the table but it sure is funny!!!

I love having dinner with my mommy!  She makes me laugh so much that I almost spit out my food all the time!  Good thing I don't though....

First Words: Mum

I started saying "mum" last month and my mommy finally caught it on video! 

Can't let go...

Sometimes I get a hold of a ball and I just don't want to let go...  I crawl with it too (which is really hard to do)!

Crawling

I've finally gotten the hang of "crawling".  Lifting my belly and using my arms to crawl is such a workout!

Getting ready to walk...

 I'm starting to figure out how to stand up from crawling...

 Trying to keep my legs under me is tough work!

 I think I'm going to fall!

 Still holding on...  Trying to make this work...

I find that side stepping on the chair is much easier than the wooden walker...  I think I'll start there for now until I get better at this.
