Needles be gone

I had my one year check up today. The doctor couldn't believe how well I am walking. I now weigh 26 pounds, 4 ounces and I'm 31.5 inches long. That's the 98th percentile. In addition to the normal check up stuff I got four shots. FOUR! They came out of nowhere and boy did they hurt. Not cool doc, not cool.

to see the doctor. 

Mommy's back

Mommy disappeared for two days and she finally came back today. I was so excited to see her I practically ran to give her big wet kisses. Then I quickly remembered that I was mad at her for going away without me. I decided to teach her a lesson and give her the cold shoulder (that means to ignore someone). I wouldn't even look at her. It made mommy really really sad. Of course that made me feel pretty bad. A lot of hugs later we're back to normal. She just better not disappear again.

Tired and sloppy

A lot of my friends at school got sent home early because they are sick. They have fevers. I've never gotten a fever before. I overheard parents and teachers talking that it means your body gets all hot and achy and you feel yucky. Sounds horrible. I hope I don't catch one. I wonder if fevers also make you tired. I've been feeling really tired lately. When I'm tired I get what daddy calls "sloppy" and start walking into things. At school I walked into the side of the play house and I have another bump on my head. :( Maybe I need another nap.

Passed out on the couch.

Best day ever!

It's official, I'm one!!!!! I had so much fun at my party in the park. I had my favorite Mexican food, I got to try birthday cake for the first time and played with my friends and family. And, it didn't rain! Who could ask for a better day? I especially liked running around the basketball court playing tag, watching my friends get their faces painted and going up and down the slide.

At one point, there was this one older boy who tried to crash my party (that means attend when you aren't invited), but Lisa set him straight. :) And later a bunch of the daddies got their faces painted. Silly daddies. It was the best day ever!!!

 

I'm almost one

Do you know my birthday is on Sunday? I'm going to be one! Can you believe it? This year has gone by so fast! Can you believe I've written 208 blog posts. That's a lot of posts! Thanks for always coming back to read about my adventures. Who knows what the next year will have in store for me. Hopefully I'll start talking more, running, growing hair and who knows what else. But first we party hardy tomorrow!!! See you there.

Mommy tried to give me
pigtails. It kind of worked!

Budding bully

I got in trouble at day care again. Today when I was playing with my friends Iris and Vera, I guess I grabbed them by the back of their shirts by their necks and then I kind of pushed them over. I didn't mean to push them over or hurt them. I thought we were playing a game and sometimes I grab things or people for balance. My teachers put me in a special chair at school away from everyone else. I didn't like that at all. I'm going to try to not be so rough tomorrow. :(

Sunday funday

Today was awesome! We went to Lauren's 7th birthday party, I got my face painted, then we went pumpkin picking, and then shopping at my favorite store on Long Island. What more could a little lady ask for?

Which one should I pick?

All of these look like pretty pumpkins.

Cousins!

Check out my butterflies.
