Daddy and I took Mommy to the Zoo for Mother's day (she had been dropping hints about us doing something special for the past couple weeks, so I clued in Daddy to a bunch of ideas). Although the trip was for Mommy, I had an awesome time. I got to pet a donkey and a goat (which I wasn't too sure about). And we saw apes, and elephants, and my favorite, a zebra. I showed the Lion that I can roar just like him. And then I slept like a baby all the way home!
I got a mini-Aslan for Christmas (he has now been added to my sleeping entourage) and he wants to be just like big Aslan.
When asked where my nose is, I always show them!
Aunt Jaci figured that since Daddy got a new laptop for Christmas (not pictured) then I should have one too.
I totally flipped out when I opened Aunt Micayla's gift. Elmo is my favorite person ever, sometimes he ranks higher than Mommy.
She loved playing in the snow! And her carrying her babies in the sling? She brought the sling to me, begging me to put them in it, and then walked around for a good half hour, doing all sorts of things while taking care of her little ones.
I must apologize for my slacker of a Mommy. She keeps giving some lame excuse about not keeping food down and lack of energy or some such nonsense. But, alas, here are the adorable Lion pictures. I learned that, if you are cute, you get more candy. And that walking all over the neighborhood is hard work. Good thing we only went to a few houses. Did you see my buddy Jaylan? He was the coolest firefighter ever (and his Mommy let his wear his costume most of the week!) And boy did Nana think I was cute when I knocked on her door myself!
I love my apples. And don't you even think about cutting them up for me. I am a big girl, and I eat them whole (of course, I spit the peel out for Aslan to enjoy). But what do I love more than apples? DADDY! I say his name all day long, and I make sure I always give him a kiss and hug before he leaves for the day. Isn't he so handsome? 
The smell of Boog's Bar-b-que as the steam arises in front of the warehouse and disappears into the bright lights illuminating the freshly cut patterned grass and chalk lines that mark the base path. Is there any better place than being a part of America's past time at one of the most beautiful parks - Camden Yards?
run the team into the ground) to sell the team to Cal Ripken. I stuffed my face with delicious Boardwalk French fries. I reluctantly met the scary Oriole mascot. And I was there when Nick Markakis hit the game winning homerun (he was due) to give the Orioles a 3-2 win over the Royals.
days of my youth, when at just 10 days old, my parents took me to my first ball game. Ah to be young again.
So, the older I get, the more I can get around. Basically, Mommy has her hands full. I love to sit on her lap while she works, whether at the computer, or the sewing machine. And I am totally good at climbing. You'd be amazed at what I can climb. Mommy and Daddy were too when they turned around. Of course, sometimes my exploring got me into trouble.
One cool thing about being around for a year, is that people give you toys just for being born! My Gram and Grandpa sent me a life size CareBear. I give him kisses. And Aunt Angi sent that cool book, I love how the numbers feel like felt. Jaylan gave me a baby in a stroller, which I love to push around. And then there is that cool Animal Magnet thing on the fridge. I love to dance when it says I made a match! Playing is so much fun! And can you tell I love books, the big one is from Beth, (my green tongue is from a sucker, people just give them to you when you are cute like me!)
