Happy Birthday Kai!

Finally - Some Pictures from Kai's First Birthday a few weeks ago... sorry for the delay!


Oh, Boy... Presents!


The Smash Cake!


A gift from Aunt Billie:


This is fun!!!

What do you mean, this only happens once a year?!?


Grandpa Rege and Grandma Toni traveled all the way from Georgia to spend time with me!


Aunt Shar:

With Mom and Dad at the end of a very fun day!

The Secret of the Old Oak

"Underneath that old Oak tree, you know the one - THAT'S where I hid my bone. Remember, don't tell anyone!"



"Guess What?!?! You know that old Oak tree...?"



"Umm... I have to tell you something... you're not going to like it."

The Frankenstein Walk

Aunts Shar and Kim bought me a really cool Radio Flyer wagon for Christmas. Mama and Dadda decided it was finally time to bring it up from the basement and let me have a go!

First, I tried out my new wheels by riding around in it....



After I got used to the feel of the wagon, I decided to go for a spin. Here are a few short videos of me doing my "frankenstein walk"...

I don't think I will be walking all by myself for the big birthday...but this is almost just as good!

Birthday Pictures

In the not too distant future, I will be turning one year old! Momma and Dadda took me to get pictures taken to celebrate the big event!

Here I am with a big number one block. I think I look sort of dorky, like my hair is pasted down, but the parents think I look like a "little man".


The photographer had a hard time getting me to stand in one spot (I wanted to crawl), so he tried propping me up against this big teddy bear. This is awkward..


Ok, so the bear didn't go over so well with me. Next stop...me with a bunch of balloons. Guys, I'm ready to float here...



Finally, I got to do what I do best...crawl!!


After the photo shoot in my little man outfit, I was stripped down to my diaper. Then I was put into a bathtub. What does this have to do with turning 1 year old, you ask?? No idea...


That was fun...can I get out now??



Seriously, I've had enough...


After the tub, the smash cake came out. Now THIS is fun!!


Mmmmm....tasty....


I wonder what kind of cake I should get next year???


Kiss me!!!


I decided having birthday pictures taken is fun, after all...especially when there is a smash cake involved.


Looking forward to seeing family on the big day!!! Grandma Toni and Grandpa Rege are coming the whole way from Georgia for the big event. Woo hoo!

My new outfit!

Some new pictures of me in my traditional outfit...

Yee Haw!

Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys...


Not to worry, it looks like there's a new Sheriff in town after all...

My first birthday party!

I attended my first birthday party yesterday. Raeden, my next door neighbor, turned one! It was great, because I got to see what I have to look forward to in a few months.

Here's the birthday girl, Rae - cool shirt, huh? Maybe Mama and Daddy will get me one for my birthday - just not in pink!


Here I am at the party, looking handsome in the great outfit that Aunts Shar and Kim bought me when I first arrived home!


Here I am with another neighbor, Laella. She is only 6 days younger than I am, so we will be turning 1 in the same week. How cool is that!


Laella and I, deep in conversation about what it must be like to be 1 year old!




Rae has a great kitchen for kids in her basement. Here I am, checking out a coffee cup and saucer.



Raeden can walk really well! I am soooo jealous. I kept trying to catch her, but she can walk way faster than I can crawl! However, I did finally corner her in the kitchen!


While I was in the kitchen, I decided to check out what was underneath (since I was on the floor anyway)!


Mommy and I made an abrupt departure from the party after 2 hours of fun. Mommy said I was melting down because I needed a nap....ok, so I was a little tired!

Here I am, ending the day with a little play time with Daddy....


Hop on Pop!
