Happy Halloween!!!!

I am one happy flamingo! I got my pack of Chiclets!

My 1 Year Stats!

The numbers are in folks! As the doctor put it, I'm tall and skinny with a very large head! But all proportionate!

Height: 31.25 Inches - 97%
Weight: 23.5 Pounds - 75 - 90%
Head: 18.7 Inches - 95+%

The doctor says that I look very healthy!!! Yeah! Oh, my iron level is really good! No more iron drops - not that Mom was giving them to my anyways - they didn't help with my "constipation issues". But all is well!!

I'm getting one of my bottom molars! I haven't been too cranky about it, but it isn't very comfortable!

Thanks all I got for now!!!!

Love,
Ellen

Happy 1st Birtyday My Sweet Little Girl!

One year ago your Dad and I were anticipating your arrival! We couldn't have asked for anything more! You are such a blessing! You can always make us smile with your dancing moves, jibber jabber, and your super sweet hugs and kisses. You have such a happy disposition. It is pretty rare to see you crabby. I love walking into your room in the morning to you big blue eyes, red red hair, and great big smile! There is no better way to start the day.
I can't imagine my world without you!

We Love You!!!!!!
Mom and Dad

I'm a punk rocker!

Mom had taken my hair out of my pony for the day so it looks like I have a mo-hawk! Then, Auntie Beaner found these sun glasses of mine.....

Two Words! ROCK ON!!!!

My Birthday Party

First I want to thank everybody for coming to celebrate my first birthday! I had so much fun!!!! I love spending time with my grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, and cousins! They are all so much fun!
I'll have Mom do an official one year post when the big day comes next Wednesday - she'll tell you about all the things I can do now.......
In the mean time, here are some pictures from my party! If you want to see all the pictures - you can see them here.


I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to do with the paper.

A girl never goes anywhere without her lipstick....even if I am working on a puzzle!

Checking out my new toys!

This one shoots balls really high into the air.

NUMMA NUMMA NUMMA!!! I LOVE CUP CAKES!

It was a long day, but I had lots of fun, thanks for celebrating with me!!!

Hi Everybody! It's been a little while since I have posted - so I thought I should catch you up on my happenings!!

I have now been walking for 3 whole weeks! I've gotten really good at it. I'm a lot more steady and I can even walk fast when someone is chasing me. Don't ask me to walk too much before bedtime though, I'm really tired and I fall down a lot.

Mom took me to the dermatologist this week for the rash around my eyes. It just wasn't getting any better, so Mom and Dad wanted to see what another doctor would have to say. The doctor took one look at me and said that I have Perioral Dermatitis. It's a rash around the mouth, nose, and sometimes eyes - well, lucky me, I've mostly just got it around my eyes. It's not very common in kids my age, but they say with proper treatment, the chances that it will come back are slim. I will just have to watch using topical steroids on my face (not likely to use these anyways).

Here are some pictures that Mom and Dad have taken of me.

My favorite sippy cup - Mom's water bottle!

My cousins Alexa, Madi, and Hannah. This was H & A's birthday party.

Now that I can walk I had to put on these super cool shoes from Auntie Joyce, Uncle Dave, and cousin Rachel! Thanks!!! They fit perfect!!!

Playing with my magnets and socks!

Nana and Papa came for a visit! I got lots of attention!!!

Papa took me for a ride, Nana wasn't too far behind, just making sure I didn't fall!

It was such a nice day out and I was being goofy for the camera, so Mom took lots of pictures!

Being all shy!!

Just being goofy! :-)

Mom, want this leaf?

Okay, that's all for now! Check back next week for some new pictures! I'm having an early birthday party this weekend! YIPPEE!!! Only 11 more days until I'm one!
