My friend Olivia helps me with my loot! Olivia's daddy Tom holds little brother Cole. Chasin' the alligator. My neighbor and friend Max (and his mom and dad - Laura and Brandon) help me celebrate. Max is four days older than me. Grandma Janet plays with one of my new toys. Olivia, her mommy Jen, and Moira watch me open my presents. My buddy Max comes to check out my new toys. Surfin' on the presents. Daddy helps me open my new train set. Max and his parents observe the mayhem. Mom and dad got me this great new trike! Hey hot stuff - check out my cool new ride! 1st birthdays are fun! Gettin' ready to wear - I mean eat - my cake. Hmm...I'm not quite sure how I should eat this... The frosting is yummy! I think this is a good look for me. I like birthday cake! It's not very often that I see eye to eye with mommy! I can't decide which new toy to play with first. Mom snowshoes ahead of me and dad. Dad carries me on our hike. Hangin' out at our lunch break. Mom and I play in the gathering blizzard. I think it's pretty funny that dad has lost his legs! Do I have to share my cake with the bear? Gettin' ready for the Super Bowl! At least I'm bigger than the ball! This cake doesn't taste as good as the one I ate at my party. The J.C. Penny photography studio could stand to repaint their props! I'm darn cute! Gettin' ready to watch the Super Bowl at our neighbor's (Tom and Sherrill). Making new friends. Max and his mommy were at the party! I like having a buddy in the neighborhood. I like Super Bowl parties! I don't remember last year's party very well. I was only a week old. As usual, I'm the life of the party. This is me playing with my neighbor Sherrill. I think she likes me! This is Sherrill with her husband Tom. Mom and dad took me hiking along the Stillaguamish River. Dad takes me... ...and mom... ...to the coolest places. Today he took us to a mountain covered in frozen waterfalls! Rubber ducky... ...you're the one... ...you make bath time... ...so much fun! Mom and dad took me to play at the school playground next door to my street. They have fun things to play on at the school. I like playing at the school! Can you hear me now? Momma saves me! Momma loves me! Daddy loves me, too! My cousin Jack plays on the trampoline at Grandma Karin's. Cousin Ellie and I play together. Cousin Sabrina joins in. Auntie Linda oversees the mayhem. Momma gives me love. Sabrina and Ellie take charge. My youngest cousin, Evan. Grandma Pat. Ellie gets a "cold juice headache". Marilyn, Evan and Linda. All worn out after a tough day of playing with the cousins! Today Grandma Pat came over to play with me. We went next door to the school playground. I climbed around with mom and dad while grandma watched us play. Call me "Monkey Boy". Jerry and I are ready for St. Patrick's Day. Check out my cool new scar! Mom and dad take me on another bike ride! Along the way we stopped off at Matthews Beach Park for some "out of the trailer time". Mom pushes me on the little guy swing. How come these ducks aren't made out of rubber like the other ones? The next weekend, dad and I went for a ride on the Centennial Trail from Arlington to Snohomish. Dad sure takes a long time to get ready! We stopped off for lunch at Lake Cassidy. This is the park at Lake Cassidy where we stopped for lunch. Heading back to the truck after a fun day of riding with dad. Hi! Playin' with momma at Logan Park. Drivin' the truck around the park. I like slides! Grandma Janet plays with me at Bothell Landing Park. Haven't I seen you somewhere before? Mom tries to console me before my first haircut. I loved every minute of it. Vic at the Bellevue Barber Shop always strives to keep his customers happy. After getting my haircut, I went on a bike ride with mom, dad and our friend Kris. Here we enjoy lunch along the way. Hanging out with my friends! Another successful bike ride under my belt. Playing in my backyard. I think I look pretty good with my new haircut. I like playing at Blythe Park in Bothell. Sometimes bad pictures are good pictures. I'm gonna slide down this thing... ...ta da! Our friends Molly, Oscar Xavier and Issac came to visit. I had fun chasing Xavier and Issac around my yard. Oscar appears to have some experience playing goalie. Xavier and Issac burn off energy. Molly adds another boy to her collection. I captured a wild beast! This is the expression on my face when I see... ...bears at my very first visit to the zoo! I also saw an elephant... ...and a lion... ...and it was Mother's Day, so I did it with my mommy and two of my grandmas. I love my mommy and my grandmas! Clowning around at home. Sometimes you just have to get into the toy box to find exactly what you're looking for. Ketchup on corn on the cob... ...is for discriminating palates only! This is what happens when you put the ketchup on the boy instead of in the boy. Phbhpfbtt. Peak - a - boo! Hiding again... ...and making faces... ...I'm so silly! Grandma Pat went to Greece and all I got was this lovely t-shirt!
