South Padre Island Baby!

We went down to South Padre Island for a nice 4 day vacation. I had so much fun on the beach with the shells and the water. I carried my bucket around everywhere looking for all the best shells. I also got to eat a lot of junk food. Mom says that we're detoxing this week, whatever that means.

Getting ready to go down to the beach. I kept checking out the balcony door to see the waves.

At last, I'm in the water. Here, my dad is showing me the waves. I didn't really like them at first, but later, I didn't want to leave them.

Here I am picking up shells. I wonder where my bucket is???

Can you see how much I just loved the water??

Sea World Trip

So my mom is so behind in posting pictures! Is she busy doing other things??? We went down to San Antonio in August for a trip to Sea World! It was awesome. The seals were my favorite, but I also really liked Shamu and the fish at the aquarium.

Here I am enjoying the show at Shumu stadium. It was so hot, but I had so much fun! Shamu was HUGE!

During Shamu's show, I kind of got distracted by my dad's cap.

I wanted to try to get on some rides, but as you can see, I'm still a little too short! :( Maybe next summer!

After a long day... I fell asleep on my dad's shoulder walking to the car. Laughing and clapping at all the animals was exhausting!

Birthday Party Weekend!!!

My party was finally here!!! We started the celebration Friday night with a trip to Chuck E Cheese. How have I never been here before??? This was the coolest place. My mom and dad thought I was too young to enjoy it, but I showed them.

Checking out the stage
Up close!

Loved all the rides!

The following day was my PARTY! It was at the pool and it was totally awesome! Lots of family and friends. And another delicious cupcake that my Aunt Tanya made for me.

This is my bff Viv. I was trying to touch her face, but my mom wouldn't let me.

Pool party!!!
I just couldn't stop staring at Viv!

More pool fun...
Delish cake and cupcakes made by Aunt Tanya!

Blowing out the candle, although I was trying to touch it.

Yummo!!!
Uncle Louie's eying my cupcake, but I ate it ALL!!!!

After the pool and cake, we moved the party to the playscape. I love me some slides!!!

Sweet Chloe
I'm trying to follow Carter up the climber, but I'm still a little too young.

So I ended up climbing up regular stairs. Much better. :)

Cake + Balloons = My 1st Birthday!!!

Well, it's official. I'm ONE year old! Can you believe it? I think my parents are still in denial, or in shock at how fast this past year went by.

Some updates...

• I began to walk around 11 1/2 months. My mom hasn't posted the video yet :(
• My 1 year check-up stats: 22 lbs. 15 oz (50%); 30 in (70%)
• I pretty much eat any and everything nowadays. My favorites include peanut butter sandwiches, rice, chicken, and applesauce.
  

For my actual birthday, my parents got me some awesome balloons and a delicious cupcake! It was SO yummy!!!

I LOVE balloons!!! I was walking all around the house with them!

Made it to the front of the house and still have my balloons.


I also LOVE climbing stairs. I'm always looking out for the gate to be down. Sure enough, this way my lucky day!!!

I made it!!!

Two days and counting...

That's right. Just two more days until my very 1st birthday party! I'm so super excited!!! Let's just hope it doesn't rain because I'm having a party at the pool.

Going to the park

Last weekend, we all went to breakfast for some delicious pancakes! Have I mentioned how much I LOVE pancakes?? Blueberry ones are my favorites. Anyway, after we finished eating, we went and played at the park. It was so much fun!!! I just love crawling through tunnels and love, love, love sliding down slides.


I suckered my mom into coming into the fort with me. It was awesome!

Crawling through the tunnels to reach my dad.
I made it!!!

I LOVE slides. Why was this the first time I got to go on them???

Yes! I'm a happy camper as you can see from me clapping.

Graduation and Baseball Games

So it's been awhile since we've been on here. Let me tell you, a LOT has been going on. For starters, I'll be one year old in two weeks!!! I can't believe it. I've heard I'm getting a cupcake all to myself for my birthday, so I can't wait!! I'm kind of getting hungry just thinking about it...

About two weeks ago, we all went back to Del Rio for Aunt Gabri's high school graduation. All I know is that it was super long and super hot! Luckily, my mom took lots of water and puffs for me to munch on.

It was almost 11 by this time and WAY past my bedtime, but I hung in like a trooper!


Here I am acting a little goofy; the heat was making me delirious!

Here I am with Gammy and Grandpa and the graduation dinner. I had baked potato and cheese... my favorites!!!



Mommy and me with my great-grandparents.

Daddy with my cousins.

Here I am with Grandma and Grandpa. I think I was looking at the balloons. I LOVE balloons!

And finally, here I am playing with my great grandpa. I was playing keep away with his packet of sugar. Fun times!

This past weekend, I went to my first UT baseball game. It was awesome! We sat really close to the field, so I was able to see all the players and watch them catch and hit the baseballs. It was so hot outside though. However, I got to try a smoothie and it was so yummy! Hopefully I can have another one soon.

The Eyes of TEXAS!

Hanging out with my Mom.

Just me and my Dad!
