Happy Birthday to me

I am seconds old in this picture... Do you believe I was ever that small? Me neither. Thanks Mama .... and Daddy for fattening me up, for making me laugh, for all the kisses, hugs, coming to me when I cry, for carrying me around, letting me crawl all over, and for all the good times!

a happy birthday warm up

Cassie has been practicing the "Happy Birthday Song". Here is alittle bit of what I heard a few times today. Can't wait to hear the real thing on Saturday!

Fall!

Mama let me sit in some leaves at Gammy and Poppy's house the other day. I liked picking them up by their stems and examining each one. Can't wait til I can run and fall in them!

photoshoot

Yesterday our Mommies bundled us up to take some photographs. They bribed us to stay put with car keys and snacks. It worked for alittle while.

My great Aunt Chris from up north sent me my first - first birthday present. I love them and wanted to wear them right away. Thanks Aunt Chris!!!!

happy birthday oliver!

We sure have come a long way since this picture! I will be eternally grateful that Mommy and Daddy decided to take that weird birth class in South Philly. I can't wait to grow up some more with you!

bachelor pad

After almost a year of sharing a room with my parents - I am finally on my own. Daddy worked hard to rearrange the room, paint and even build a cover for that thing I like to touch.... the radiator. I even have my own corner to read books in. It took me about a week to get used to but now I like it so much that I tell Mommy to leave me in my crib to hang out. And then I have so much fun that I even fall asleep in there. Life in my very own room is great!

help...?

Last night my cousin Cassie gave me a bath in the sink at Poppy and Grandma's. Mommy kept telling her she was doing a really good job. I guess I thought so too.

3 days in the life of a pirate

I have just spent 3 days as a pirate.

This is me matey 'The Dread Pirate Linden"

This is me other matey 'Captain Oliver No Beard"

This is ye beauty, our boat, "The Booby Hunter" with me mateys in it!

I have learned that being a pirate makes ye hungry!

I have also learned that sometimes ye pirates like to lose their britches!

And sometimes ye little pirate doesn't want to be a pirate anymore....

a preview....

Yes that is right. My pirate name is "Jack Narrow." Linden's Mommy created the coolest costumes for us. More to come...
