Wow! I woke up from my nap after church and when I came out the house was full of all the people I love! What a suprise! I had no idea what was going on! I played with everyone - Daddy, Mommy, Guidu, Tahta, Nana, Auntie Christine, Almost Uncle Jacob and his mom, Auntie Elizabeth, Auntie Vivian, Uncle Mark, Uncle Timmy, Cousin Broghan, Cousin Bailey, Sally, Marc, Danny, Joey, Phoebe, and Justin. We went ouside and there was a slide there! Mommy and Daddy got it for me! It was so much fun. I pretended I was a pirate. We had a wonderful BBQ lunch - I ate so much I was stuffed! Then someone turned out the lights and everyone started singing Happy Birthday. Mommy, Daddy and I blew out the candles and I tried some of the cake. Wow its good! But I definitely don’t like getting messy! We opened gifts afterwards! That was so much fun! I got lots of toys, books, and clothes! Everything I need! Thank you to everyone for the wonderful party and all the wonderful gifts!

Mom and Dad kept me really busy this month. We had a toga party - well, I was the only one in a toga - and everyone kept on hailing me. It was pretty funny! Daddy and I went to Chris and Colleens house and we played with Austin and Lana. They were really fun. Then Mommy and Daddy woke me up really early Friday morning and we went out. First we were in a car, then we went on a plane - down to Florida! I got to visit Melissa and Trevor at their house! We had so much fun! We went to the aquarium one day and played with the big turtles, shells, and fish! And we went to the beach and played on the sand and in the water. We went to Tarpin Springs and Daddy held me up in front of the dolphin statue and everyone laughed alot - I can’t really figure out why? We played some more and with Emmett the cat. Melissa sang songs to me in the car as we drove around too! I loved that! We left a few days later. We had so much fun I hated to leave, but it was fun playing with all the people on the plane and looking out at the beautiful sunset out the window! When we got back Daddy and Mommy took apart one of my toys so I experimented with parts of it… Daddy took me to get my hair cut at Snip-Its - that was much better than when Mommy cut my hair - I still was not happy - but I was at least cooperative. I guess I do look better afterall!

I had a lot of fun this month! Melissa and Trevor came up to visit from Florida! They stayed with us for a few days. Mom, Melissa and I went to the park. It was the first time I had ever been there. I loved the swings! We walked around and explored and went on the slide too! I love Trevor and Melissa - I hope that he doesn’t mind that I gave Melissa a kiss when she was reading a book to me… Over 4th of July we went over Nana’s house and Uncle Mike, Autie Daniella, Cousin Jacob and Cousin Benjamin were all visiting from Tennessee. I had so much fun playing with them all! It was wonderful to meet them! We went to Uncle Victors house and I met and played with so many more of my Dads family. They are great! We went back to NaNas house after that and we took a family picture with all the cousins! It’s the first one with me in it! That weekend Mommy, Daddy and I went to Newport for the weekend. I loved it! We went to the beach and played for real this time! I wasn’t scared and I ran around the best I could chasing the birds - its hard running in the sand! Mommy and Daddy took me in the ocean - the waves were fun! The best part was when Mommy would build towers in the sand and I got to tear them down - I even tore down the castle I found! Everyone was laughing! I climbed all over Daddy! I love playing with him! We went out to a restaurant and I had a talk with Poseidon - the God of the Sea. I think I cleared things up with him! We went on tours of the Mansions in Newport and ran all over the grass. They had some beautiful homes! The following weekend we went to Beverly and hung out twith Uncle Timmy, Broghan and Bailey. We also went to Marias birthday party - I an’t believe she is 1! I got to play with Maria, Danny, and Gabby. Its so nice to have friends to play with right around the same age!

This was a very fun month with a lot of parties! First we went to NaNa’s house up in Ipswich and played in my new tent and went to the beach! The sand felt really strange and scared me at first but then I realized I could play in it! So I started kicking sand on Daddys feet. It was really funny! When we went back to the house they gave me a bath in NaNa’s bathroom sink - I just barely fit in there! We also went out to breakfast with Danny, Sally, and Marc. It was so much fun. I also discovered my stuffed animals and havent been able to stop playing with them. We went to a bridal shower at Shalev and Michelles house for Syliva and Alec. I met alot of my moms classmates. Everyone was so nice and we had a great time. And you’ll never believe what mom did to me the other day! She wrapped a towel around me - I hadn’t even taken a bath, put me in my highchair, and cut my hair!!! It was not fun, I wanted to watch and kept turning to look, but I couldn’t see anything! But Mom and Dad really enjoyed it! I also discovered that I can crawl in and play with my toys and even take them out of my toy hamper. We went over to Guidu and Tahtas house for Guidus birthday. We had so much fun and Guidu let me help him open his gifts!

I travelled a lot this month and saw many new things. The biggest is that I’ve been cruising around and standing on my own! I also played in grass for the first time and crawled around in it at NaNa’s house! It scared me at first but by the end of the day, I was starting to get comfortable with it. Cousins Nichole and Sarah helped me out a lot with that. They are so cool. I got to hang out with NaNa and got to fall asleep in Auntie Connies arms. She is wonderful. I was very silly over at Tahtas house and walked around with here with my pants on my head. Both Tahta and Guidu are very silly - look at Guidu with the towel on his head! Daddy took some pictures of me, I guess I was laughing in my sleep, they all think it was funny. The best part of the month was when we went to NJ for my cousins wedding. We saw Uncle Shokrey, Taunte Aida, Marmar and her family, and Olivia and her new husband Ragae. She looked beautiful. It was so wonderful to meet them all. I can’t wait to see them all again.

I had a very exciting month this month. I started holding my bottle on my own! I hung out with Guidu - we were wearing the same jacket! Broghan and Bailey came over and hung out with me while Mommy and Daddy were working on the front yard. They took me out and I sat in my Bumbo seat, then they also blew bubbles with me. They were really fun and I tried to catch them but they kept disappearing as soon as I touched them! I played with my toys, and the best part - I stood up in bed, all by myself! Mommy and Daddy were so suprised when they walked in and I was standing there! It was really funny. Daddy gave me a magazine to read when we went out the other day - I don’t know why he kept taking pictures? I also got to drive the car! It was so much fun! I tried a cookie for the first time - I think it was Arrowroot. It definitely does not taste like milk or vegetables! We went to Samy and Sues bridal shower. It was really fun, I got to hang out with Samy and Sue, Sameh, Neveen (Sara, James, Taunte, and Uncle weren’t in the picture but they were there), Sally, Rafeek, Raphie, and Gabby. Gabrielle and I had fun hanging out together too - we kept on playing together. It’s so nice to have friends my own age!

I had so much fun this month. I got to hang out with a bunch of my friends - Maria, Gabby and Danny. We went over to Gabby’s house and we all played together. Mommy was so weird too… She let me put my fingers in this red stuff wipe it all over this piece of paper. We made that into a Valentines Card for Daddy. It was really fun - she doesn’t usually let me make a mess! I also got to eat some blessed bread all by myself at church! That was really cool and very yummy! And I got to play with my favorite bear - my army bear that Dr. Jessica gave me. The best part of this month has been that I can finally crawl around and go wherever I want! I can’t wait to walk!

This was a pretty fun month and very eventful. I got to hang out with my Nana and Tatah. We have a lot of fun together. I spend a couple days with each of them. Its really fun, I like to spread myself around so that no one gets jealous. Mommy and Daddy took pictures of me in the bath again! But this time I was sitting up on my own in the bath ring! It’s so much fun, I even get to sit back, relax, and play with my washcloth and toys. And I discovered I can reach my feet! Then Mom and Dad really got me… They started feeding me with a spoon - rice cereal. I guess you can tell I’m not really a fan, but I do enjoy feeding myself! I got to hang out with Dad on the couch, and take a shower - not as much fun as a bath by the way, and take some pictures with Mommy in my cool bear towel. I’ve been having a lot of fun!

I went to my first dental convention the other day. It was really fun. I got to see all the exhibits that talked all about these things called teeth. Mommy, Daddy, and all the big people have them. I wonder if Ill get them too? Anyways I got to hang out with some of Mommys friends. They were all really nice! Dr. Shawn, Dr. Jess, Dr. Jeremy, Dr. Mina, Dr. Kevin, Dr. Shalev, and Michelle were all there and we took pictures with them. There voices all sounded so familiar from when I was in Mommys tummy that it was nice to finally put a face to the voices!

What an exciting month! I celebrated two Christmases, New Years, and my Tahtas birthday! I got to spend time with my Guidu - we even wore hats together and bonded. I took a bath and got to play in the tub and tummy time at the same time. Uncle Mark even brought me to my room to dry off! I get to out and have dinner parties with my friend Danny, he’s got a really cool bottle. I also got to play with my friend Morgan and share my toys. Everyone seems to love them - its a good thing I don’t mind sharing right now! I spent a lot of time with Mommy and Daddy… Daddy always makes me laugh! I love watching the Patriots with Daddy in my jersey. And I got to hang out with Melissa! She came to visit from Florida again! I even got to take some Tylenol - I wasn’t feeling to good in the first place and Mommy gave me this yucky pink stuff - let me just tell you, I didn’t make it easy for her! She didn’t have to go and make things worse! I have even started shuffling backwards on my tummy! Moving along! Just click on my picture and you can take a look at my whole album!
