Outside Fun!

Last weekend was very busy! My Uncle Dano graduated from NDSU so we had a party for him at Grandma & Grandpa's house. It was super nice outside so I spent most of the day running around in the backyard, swinging on the swing, sitting on the step, picking pretty flowers (dandelions) with grandma, playing with everyone and eating lots of stuff I usually don't get to eat (unless mommy isn't looking). I played so hard I got my first blister on my toe from my sandals. It didn't bother me though, I kept on running and playing.

Sitting on the step all by myself-its just my size!

Swinging with Grandpa is so much fun!

Uncle Dano and his girlfriend Jess-mommy, grandma and I sure like when she comes over. It's so nice to have another girl around to talk to (& play with)!

Grandma, Uncle Dano, & Grandpa

Daddy, Uncle Dano, & Uncle Andrew. Mommy says they are harder to take pictures of than me and I can't sit still!

The Obsession begins...

Mommy and both of my grandma's always tell my grandpa's and my daddy how important it is to have a nice purse-it is an accessory that you wear every single day! Lately I've really been into purses or anything that resembles a purse. My favorite is Grandma Tammy's big heavy Coach purse-I know I'm still pretty little but mommy says it doesn't hurt to start young with daddy & both grandpa's. A big smile and a blink of the eyelashes will get me far with them :).

Fun filled weekend!

Mom, Dad, & I headed up to The Canad Inn in Grand Forks for my friend Kaden's 2nd birthday! My friend Gia was up there too with her mommy & daddy and Kaden's little brother Ellis was also there. We had so much fun. I LOVE the water. They had so many fun things to play with. I got so excited when the water would splash on me, I would scream! Gia also loved the water-she was relaxing in her floatie but Kaden & Ellis weren't fans of the water at first but eventually Kaden warmed up to it.

Gianna chillin in her floatie!

Kaden was slowly getting used to the cold water...his mommy Sarah was telling him how fun the water really is!

1st wedding!

A few weeks ago my Great Auntie Mary, Mia's Grandma, got married. It was my first wedding! I got to get all dressed up in a pretty dress, shiny shoes, and a bow in my hair. I had lots of fun dancing with everyone.

Dancing with Grandpa Jimbo!

Dancing with Macy

Mia was already for bed and in her jammies when the dance started

Grandma Tammy & I right before the dance started

All I wanted to do was dance but mom wanted to pick me up and take a picture-I was NOT impressed

I LOVE Dancing with Daddy!

Mom, Dad, & Me

Yes, I know Christmas was 2 months ago but mommy is still catching up on this blog thing.This year mommy thought that we needed a few family shots since we haven't had a family picture since the hospital when I was born. Erin got lots of shots but to find one (or 2) that everyone was looking & smiling was a task-mommy says it's a good thing we have a fast camera! She got lots of fun pictures of me though with my CUTE hat on!

FINALLY WALKING!!!!!!!

I spent the day at my friends Brekkyn & Aspyn's house and started walking all by myself!! My friend Brekkyn is only a few weeks younger than me so I figured since she's walking, I could do it too! Check me out! Mommy will get more videos of my soon. Thanks to Brekkyn & Aspyn's mommy for taking this video on her phone of me walking and sending it to mommy. I am also so excited to hear that my friend Anderson became a big brother today so I will always remember the day I walked all by myself is the same day as she was born (she even weighed the exact same as me!) I can't wait to meet her & play with her big brother Anderson!

1st Haircut

Things were looking good @ my first haircut. I was excited to see Lisa (mommy & daddy's friend who cuts their hair), and I sat like such a big girl in the bumbo chair but as soon as she put the cape on me that was another story. I was NOT a fan. As soon as they took it off though everything else went smooth-especially when mommy let me play with her camera case (camera excluded). When it was all done I was super happy. Lisa Did such a good job. She says that my hair with be long in no time. I can't wait for mommy to do lots of fun things with it!

So Glad to be done-thanks Lisa!!!

1st Birthday

I'm already 1 (actually I'm almost 13 months but mommy is a bit behind on the blog thing). As you can see she's a little out of practice since she uploaded all of my birthday pictures in a random order. Anyway, here are some shots of my birthday. We had it over at grandma & grandpa Hanson's house. Lots of people came to celebrate with me-it was tons of fun. By far my favorite part was eating the cupcake that mommy & daddy let me eat all by myself!

Riding my new toy.

Me and my friend Lucia-she's only 4 months old so I am a lot bigger than her

Walking with Grandpa Tim-check out my new Nike's!

All Done! (now it is time for the tub)

Forget about little bites mom-this is too good too use my manners!

First bite-I think I might like this...

Are they really going to make me sit through all of this-just let me play in the boxes & the paper!
