Must have been some party....

A glimpse into what we find most mornings these days.....

Eden greeting us as we walk in:

Taking in all of the destruction that "someone" caused in her crib:

Her sitting back down to try and remember what all happened "last night": 

 And finally a little look to Daddy that says "I'll try not to let it happen again, I promise!!!":



We aren't quite sure where she finds room to sleep in her crib...

Watch Out World, Here I Come!

And so, it begins....

No toddlers (and we now know why they are called toddlers!) were hurt during the making of this video.

Please add this to my Christmas List!!!

Hey Mom and Dad...make sure you tell everyone to skip the gift bags and put all of my (our) gifts in boxes.

This might be more fun than messing with Sherm!

The sibling torment has already started...

Eden, what are you doing? 

Oh this, well, I was just going to give it to Sherman to chew on.

And then I might take it away from him.



And push it through the baby gate like I already did with all his other toys so he has nothing to play with.

And she wonders why he runs off with her stuffed animals???

My First Wedding!

I was so excited (or Mommy was excited for me) to get dressed up on Saturday and go to my very first wedding! One of Daddy's college roommates was getting married and Mommy and I were invited along to make sure he didn't mess up in his job as a groomsmen.

Daddy and I in our "Wedding Finest":

Can you tell Mommy loves me?:

My happy little family:

Mommy and Daddy were very proud of me.  I didn't make a peep (even though one of my nicknames is "Peepers") during the ceremony.  I also sat patiently at the reception until Mommy snagged some of Daddy's green beans for me from his plate since he was special and got to eat first.  They were a bit nervous to take me but I proved once again how very good I am!  Wink, Wink...

Thanks Again Mom and Dad!!!

I love my birthday gift and have such a good time exploring all the different and fun parts of it!

About time...

I've been harping on Mom and Dad to take my "1 year" picture in my chair with my buddy the bunny and they finally found time to do it.  They say that these are the three best from the photo session so I hope you enjoy them!

Editors note...we realize this is posted on the day Eden is officially 13 months old. 
Our apologies on being delinquent.

It's not fair....

I do not see any reason why I shouldn't be able able to put my foot on the table while I am eating!

Check me out!

Here is a sneak peek of my one year photo shoot with Miss Jeri.  As usual she did a great job and we had lots of fun wandering the campus of Notre Dame to get some great pics!

Waking Up (In Pictures)

From Sleepy Faced to Happy



What a blessing to see this each and every morning....crazy hairs and all!!!

Happy Halloween!

I was able to enjoy Halloween a little more this year, being over 1 year old and such.  Mom and Dad had a great time trucking me around the neighborhood and to relatives houses. 

 I think they all thought I was pretty cute in my Lady Bug outfit:

I loved going to Grandma Donna's house and she had a homemade treat for me with goldfish, crackers, and fruit snacks!

I even had two handfuls of real candy to hold onto as I pointed the way to our next stop:

Thank you to all who provided goodies to me this year and I hope you all had a safe and wonderful Halloween as well!

Some of My Favorite Things from this Fall...

I have had many wonderful experiences during my first "full" Fall.  Let me share some with you:

Giraffe Rides:

Playing with my Crazy Ball Popper (which no longer makes me cry!):



Hiding my pacifiers and animals behind my crib each night and laughing at my parents as they try to find them:

Playing with the football:



And of course, getting all decked out in the Blue and Gold  (and sometimes the pink and green):

I hope your Fall was as fun as mine!
