Oh- OHIO!!

Mommy and I left Tuesday morning to head to Ohio. I was excited to see Aunt Bonnie and Uncle John again (Or as I call him, Unca!) As soon as I borded the plane to Denver, I fell fast asleep. Mommy thought it would be silly to catch a picture of the two of us sleeping. I didn't sleep long though... I just had a feeling that I might miss something. Boy was I right... We saw the Grand Canyon out our window. I thought it was so neat. I quickly grabed dolly to show her too!! I am so glad Oma brought her for me. On the second flight into Columbus, I feel right asleep at mommy and Oma's feet. I slept the entire flight! Boy was I full of energy when we got there!!

The Richey's!

I am the luckiest girl in the world! Grandma, Grandpa Richey and Uncle John came out to celebrate with me! Here are some great memories we made!!

Birthday Videos

Here are are some of our favorite videos from my special weekend. A special thank you to cuz Ryder (& Aunt Andrea and Uncle Trav of course) for my rockin' quad. I love to drive around my backyard! Whoo hoo fun!!

Cake!!!!

Here are more pictures from our birthday... my favorite part of course... CAKE!!! Ryder and I really enjoyed digging in and shoving in icing! Our Grandma's were sure we were going to be on a sugar high, but it wasn't too bad!!!

BIRTHDAY PARTY!

Last weekend I got to celebrate my first birthday (a little early!) with my best bud Ryder! All of our family and friends came out and went bowling at Montrose Bowl! I had the best time breaking my pinata, pinning the banana on the monkey and taking crazy pictures! Here are a few of mommy's pictures! Thank you to all of you who were able to make it out to celebrate! I love you all!!

11 Months old!

Time flies when you are having fun...

Yep, I am already 11 months old! I went to the doctor this week and I weigh 21 lbs and am 28 1/2 inches long! Mommy and Daddy can't believe how fast I am growing. I started climbing stairs, "exploring"(ie. trying to escape out the doggie door and splashing in Jade's water!) and using my walkers to get around the house. So many changes...

Playing in the ocean...

Here are some AWESOME pictures of cuz Ryder and I enjoying the waves. Our mommies thought we were so silly... we just wanted to walk right into the ocean!! Ryder and I hope that we get to go back and swim again soon!!

BUBBLES!!

Ryder and I got a new NON-STOP bubble machine. Yep, you heard me... a bubble machine that never stops blowing bubbles. What else can a baby ask for? Not much!! Ryder and I had a ball sitting around trying to catch bubbles. Thanks to WTG for getting us our own bubble machines too! I never knew that I could have so much fun with bubbles!

Ice Cream!!

One day (when it was warm, of course) Omi decided to share her ice cream with Ryder and I. Of course we were really excited! Omi didn't know what to do with us!:) Later, we went to lunch and the waiteress brought Ryder and I our own ice cream! Here are a few silly shots of me eating all my ice cream!!:)

Chillin' at the beach!

Here are a few great pictures of me relaxing and enjoying life on the beach. Omi bought us chairs with an umbrella to relax on. I really enjoyed them!! (So did Ryder!) Mommy also caught a picture of me with my cool new shades on walking the pier! It was really fun!! :)

Disneyland

On the way down to the beach house after daddy's birthday mommy & Omi decided to take me to Disneyland. They told me that I had been when I was a little baby. I don't remember it much. What I do know is that I LOVE Disneyland now! We went on my new favorite ride first. You guessed it, It's A Small World! I had so much fun watching the dolls dance and sing. Later, we went on Winnie the Pooh's ride. It was really fun too! At the end of the day we rode the train around the park. It was all so much fun! I can't wait to go again... hopefully next time with my cuz Ryder!
