One in the Books

It's hard to believe it's been a year already. Seems like just yesterday that the swaddle was in full force and I was sleeping 20 hours a day. Time flies! Now I'm crawling at a hundred miles an hour, pulling up, and talking up a storm (though no one seems to be able to get what I'm trying to say). Mommy and Daddy have been frantically preparing for my party, which I will neither understand nor appreciate, though it will be good to see family and family friends.

So what have I been up to you ask? Let's get started.

Though my massive cheeks are both pinch-able and adorable, I get the feeling their cuteness has a life span; at some point the baby fat will have to go. To that end, I've developed my own patented workout routine. Here you can see I'm working up quite a sweat:

The other part of my in-house gym is the crawling obstacle course:

I'm a mover and a shaker. You might think I'm quietly playing with something in the other room, but don't get too comfortable. I'm like a ninja; when you're not even suspecting it you look down and...BAM! There I am.

Inventing award winning workout routines is just one of my passions. I also enjoy coming up with new games. This one's called, "Spoon Mouth." It's simple to play, and I'm a champ:

When I'm feeling a little more relaxed, sometimes we go to the park and just chill:

Swinging is one of my favorite past times. I've thought about getting into competitive swinging, but right now I'm trying to keep myself free to spend more time with my family.

Since my talking isn't quite where I'd like it to be, I prefer to communicate textually:

In honor of my first birthday, here's a video that shows why the childcare workers at church call me giggles:

And finally, here's a hidden bonus called "guess who's crazy".
