One Time Revolutionary

Sometimes you don’t need to write much, you just need to remember. Today is one of those days (with a few new pictures at the end).

Happy Birthday Half Calf.

We love you and you certainly changed our world.

Observations from the first year:

• I hike a lot and my first one was at 6 weeks old.
• I love the outside and camping.
• I am a starer (just like Daddy, except it is rude when you are an adult and it is cute when you are a baby).
• I am almost always smiling.
• I have already flown over 20,000 miles.
• I have had three haircuts.
• I have had two ER visits.
• I can crawl VERY fast.
• I have taken a couple steps but can’t walk quite yet.
• I love the water though apparently am too skinny to float in the pool.
• I enjoy climbing stairs.
• I started at 7 lbs 4.4 oz and 19.5 inches and made it all the way to 19 lbs 12.5 oz and 29 inches.

NOW it looks like a party.

Going for an afternoon hike.

I hope the older brother is not teaching the younger one how to cry all night…

I am even happy in my carseat sometimes.

Hi Endymion. Hi Half Calf.

View from the top of Bodenburg Butte.

Everyone knows how hard it is to get comfortable in airplane seats.

I got my wings. Thanks Alaska Air.

Things are looking up.

Posing for the camera.

I love Tummy Time (as long as it is only 10 minutes sessions).

No, really, FREAKING ADORABLE!

(Better) Family Photo

Tummy completely off the floor!

I get REALLY far up on Tummy Time now.

Still as adorable as ever.

Having a taste of wine

Uh oh, I have a Big Boy chair now.

My first time swimming.

Just hanging out after lunch.

I love mirrors.

At least there is room on the floor for me to lay down on the plane (for now).

What?!?

Auntie Huong Giang helping me open a present.

Uncle Hai picked an interesting way to hold me.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Don’t worry Daddy, I can hold it all by myself.

I like to pull his fur out so have to be closely supervised.

Enjoying to quality bouncing time.

Let’s go ski everyone.

I am not sure this is the way to the cabin…

I love going outside.

Why do I always seem so worried?

My cousins (and Uncle Jimmy; he is the big one).

OK, so now what do I do with them?

When can I try Turtle Soup?

At the pool

I found my way into the Kiddie Pool.

Going for a walk in the parking lot. I like doing this outside since I can go a lot longer before I run into things.

Outdoor Closeup.

So many toys to choose from…

Water you looking at?

I don’t know why I have them, but they are entertaining to watch.

I’m King of the Mountain.

I am too cool for these glasses.

When you set all time high temperatures in Anchorage, you gotta do what you can to keep cool.

Happy Birthday to Me.

Momma brought “cake” (if you can call something with no milk, no eggs, no sugar “cake”) to daycare..

I’m (upside down) 1.

BUBBLES!!!

STREAMERS!!!

This is my kind of party.
