You may have noticed two things: One, I haven’t updated here in roughly 8 months, and two, everything looks different. The second is the result of the first; Daddy upgraded my website from Blogger to WordPress, which makes updating WAY easier. So look forward to more frequent updates!
Starting with this: I have a baby sister! Josephine AletaMae was born in May 8th. So go check that, and enjoy this super-awesome picture of me:
Happy birthday to ME!!!! I’m a year old, a year smarter, and a year heavier, according to Daddy, who keeps saying that he’s developing something called “guns” from carrying me around all the time. I guess that’s good, right? Here’s a HYUUUUGE batch of pictures. As usual, click on ’em to see ’em full size.
UPDATE: I added some links to the SUPERDUPER fullsize photos, about 4MB apiece, for those of you (Grumps) that like to print them out.
I know it hasn’t been my usual 6 weeks between posts, but I’ve got so much awesome stuff to share!
Uncle Kyle and Aunt Kristy came to visit!
I was very excited.
For Easter we went out to Aunt Nanette’s and Uncle Michael’s farm in Lancaster, where I got to be tickled by my Oma:
And my first-cousin-once-removed (look it up) Jessica!
I also go to chase Cody around. He, um, didn’t stick around much.
And my OTHER Uncle Michael got to load me up with tasty beverage.
After a while I got sleepy, so while I took a quick beauty nap, my cousin Nathaniel took over the task of entertaining the adults.
And some of the kids, like his buddy Paul!
Then Nathaniel took off his pants. Yeah, I dunno. That boy’s crazy.
Then we did a little exploring outside…
And met a new friend! I call him Lunch.
When we got home, Daddy put the camera to work taking some artsy fartsy shots of me.
This is after Daddy gave me some beer. (Just kidding! Don’t call Social Services!)
I love tub time!
Daddy and Charles, the slack-jawed yokels!
Daddy said something about having a son so he wouldn’t have to worry about keeping a little girl off the pole. What does that mean?
Mmmm…plastic cookie.
Mmmm…bzzzy bee.
I love my mommy!
And I love my The Cheat!
Daddy and Grumps and I aren’t so good at all looking at the camera at the same time.
Heehee…I learned a new trick!
Daddy’s very proud of this picture for some reason.
More photos!
Auntie Sarah is HECK OF FUN!
I like to play in my saucer.
Daddy caught me mid-sneeze, I think.
So I was tellin’ Gladys, Gladys, I says, that man is a ROVER. I real dog, I says.
Giving the undercarriage a bit of a scrub.
Me with Uncles Craig, Kas, and Brian:
I’m a little angel!
With Aunt Jodi:
And Aunt Karen:
Uncle Craig again. I like his chain!
Aunt Jodi, while Uncle Kyle protects his groin from something:
Uncles Kas and Craig:
Mrs. Anderson and I communicating via ESP:
I had a doctor’s appointment today:
The doctors and nurses are all very nice. They made me smile a lot! I weigh 21 pounds, 13 ounces, or something around there; my wiggling made it difficult to get an accurate measurement, but it wasn’t my fault, since they wouldn’t let me play with the scale. I’m 30.75 inches long, which I’m told is the length of the average 14-month-old. Hopefully I can develop a wicked skyhook.
I had to get a bunch of shots, which hurt, but not so badly that I didn’t giggle as soon as Daddy picked me back up. I like manipulating adults!
I’m six months old today! We celebrated by going to see Santa.
He was a jolly old soul who tried to sell us an investment portfolio.
Update so far: I have teeth! Three of them at the moment. Mommy and Daddy have started feeding me some yummy vegetables; I’m fond of sweet potatoes, but carrots get a big NAY NAY from me.
