All Done

Mom is shutting my blog down after a year. It's silly to have 2 to update. And it's one less blog for anonymous people to comment on. If someone we don't know can comment that means the rest of you can too! ;-) Just sayin!

Party Time!

You'll have to look at these pictures out of order. I'm not fighting with the computer to rearrange them. So my mom obviously had my party theme cupcakes. She put me in a silly tutu and made a shirt with a cupcake on the front and #1 on the back. She even found cute pink shoes with the tulle on them. I had family and friends share my big day with me. I was exhausted after walking all around, opening presents, and eating my big cupcake. I received many fun gifts and cute outfits. I am grateful for all of them. (and so is Mattingly) The menu included mini mac n cheese bites, which were a hit, cupcake pizzas, taco dip, veggies and dip and cheese and crackers. Mom made 60 cupcakes-vanilla, chocolate and funfetti, white chocolate covered oreos, and chocolate chip cookie dough mini cupcakes (molded). Those were supposed to be dipped in chocolate as well but mom had a hard time melting the chocolate to a soupy texture. Despite that people enjoyed those as well. Laura made the fun streamer background and 2 tablecloth pin idea. Mom made a 1st birthday sign and put up pictures from each month of me with humpty dumpty. She also made pin the cherry on the cupcake but b/c it was hiding behind people sitting in the chairs mom forgot to do it. :( Bummer. It was a birthday to remember. And I will be able to b/c mom had Tracy videotape it. Well opening the presents anyway. Thanks all for coming!! Sorry to those who live far away and couldn't make it.

Birthday!

Ugh I can't figure out the stupid picture set up! It's good enough. These are a few pictures from a photo shoot Laura did. Here is a link to look at a bunch more but for some reason I can't save them to my computer to show you. So you have to go look yourself-- http://livelaughlove24.shutterfly.com/ It has other pictures she has taken as well! Enjoy. :) Myla is not as photogenic as Mattingly so there are very few that are of her smiling.

12 months!

Last Monday was my 12 month! Which means it was a whole year since I was born. I turned one!! It wasn't like the hot day I was born. It was chilly and cloudy. But mommy still made me go outside for pictures. Which will be featured in the next post which means you'll actually see those first. Mom saw this sign on Pinterest so she made one for me too. Cute idea. But I suppose she'll do it every year now. Thanks a lot Pinterest! I started walking almost a month ago now. I may have told you that already but I can't remember. The doctor said I'm steady for just starting. :-) I still eat just about anything mom eats. I don't really like sitting in my high chair to eat so mom gives me a little snack in there and then I eat my mom's dinner too. I think I'm getting more teeth b/c I'm waking up at night again cranky. My mom told me today she feels like I am worse now than I was as a newborn. Hey I want these teeth to come in as much as she does! I still don't talk much. I say "hi" and "go" once in a while, maybe an "uh oh" or an "oh" but that's about it. I would rather babble. I enjoy splashing in the tub for bath time and am excited I got a few new toys for the bath for my birthday. Not sure if I already noted that little kids love me. They always tell my mom "I like your baby. She's so cute." Even the boys! Adults do too. They call me a ham for smiling at them and tell mom to enjoy me now. Then she informs them she has 4yr boy so she knows all about it. I like to look at books that have texture to them or 3d things. Songs are always fun to bop to or dance. I am easier to get in my car seat now that I face forward. I enjoy the ride more. I can see mom better. Oh I like dolls and I got a few of those for my birthday too. Even a stroller for them. But I like to sit in there instead of pushing my dolls in it. I still have not had milk yet. Mom still feeds me.That might be about it. Next year who knows I might be riding a bike!!

Skylar's Christening

Mom tried to take a few cute pictures of me and my brother before Sky's christening but she only got a good one of my brother since I'm not too into pictures being taken of me. If I see you in the store and you tell me I'm cute I'll give you a big smile but I just can't give those smiles to the camera for free! I had fun at the party walking all over the place. People were impressed with me. Sky had a super cute outfit on. I hope my mom finally makes it to that store to buy something cute for me. I hear they have cupcake stuff!

Messy girl

My mom decided to make a new breakfast one morning with blueberries in it. As you can see I ate it! Mostly just the blueberries. As you can also see I like standing in my high chair. I rarely sit to eat. So mom is taking away my high chair. She thinks I'll sit better at the table in a booster. Guess we'll find out. The bottom picture is of me crawling under daddy. We were being silly. Talk about silly; look how red my dad's head is and white his body is.

Visit to MN

This is my trip to MN with my mom in a nutshell. I was a good girl for the most part on the plane. We were able to spread out on 3 flights, one other flight we sat next to a cute guy. He was really nice to me. He played my games and I even smiled at his girlfriend so she wouldn't be jealous. They were also going to a wedding in Minnesota. I spent a lot of time traveling and buckled down which didn't make me too thrilled especially since I wanted to keep practicing my walking. We shopped a lot and ate out a lot. I enjoyed seeing new people and meeting my mom's cousin's son Earl. We only played a few min; thankfully b/c we learned yesterday he has pink eye in both eyes and an ear infection. Not good. I hope I don't get it. My grandpa's brother Bruce was insistent on holding me so mom tricked me by feeding me cake while he held me. By then I was so tired I just let him hold me and take me around. That didn't make for a very happy Uncle Joel whom I had spent many hours with and would only tease him about holding me. It was a fast trip. I missed my brother though so I wanted to get home. Every time I saw a little boy I would kick my legs and wave my arms like crazy and try talking to him. Guess they didn't understand me. Now that I'm home being harassed again I wouldn't mind another few days away! ;-)
