Eastmonte Park - Take 2.

Here I am warming up my dance moves to "Up on the Housetop".  Later on, I rocked it out Santa Style with Mr. Richard, as you can see below.

Moms4Moms Christmas Party - Eastmonte Park

Here I am playing a Christmas Tree bean bag "toss".  Or, at least that is what it is supposed to be. I decided it was okay to make it a Christmas tree drop-it-in.

I also discovered this giant baseball and quickly made a new friend out of it. I gave it a Christmas party hug.  I tried to encourage it to come dance with me, but it didn't want to move.

 

A "New" Zoo

Goodbye Preschool . . . Hello Summer!

Mom is just about as organized as me, so these posts are never in chronological order. Here are some pics and video of my preschool graduation. Mom says her favorite part was seeing my little egg-shaped belly make an appearance every time I raised up my arms during one of our little dances.

Here I am with my teachers Mrs. Compton (right) and Mrs. Guariello (left).  Both of these precious teachers were truly hand-picked by God for me this year.  I am so blessed to have had them because this was also their LAST year of teaching. They both retired directly after my preschool performance! :)  Then, as a special bonus for me, I ran into Mrs. Compton at the grocery store later that day.  I was so excited that I was jumping up and down when I saw her.

Here I am (above) marching in to start our performace.  We sang "It's a Small World" and each of us held the flag of a different country.  I held Great Britain's flag and Mrs. Compton held Germany's flag which is ironic because she's actually 100% Irish - direct from Ireland. Mom says I was the most joyful looking student in the whole class.

After my performance we headed to home to start summer! Look what was waiting for me at the front door!  I guess it's official - summer is HERE!

"One" Amazing Little Boy!

To say that March was a busy month for our family would be a gross understatement.  Besides the fact that we have 4 family birthdays during this month, we also had 2 surgeries in our family:  I had my tonsils/adenoids removed and mom had 3D LASIK eye surgery. Amidst all of the hustle and bustle of the month a very important milestone finally arrived:  Wesley had his 1st Birthday!! While I was at school mom and dad took him to Toys R' Us for a little birthday exploration and here are some of the pictures.
"Hey! That animal's nose is awfully long!"

It's as if he's saying, "This guy right here is the one who's gonna get suckered into buying me this huge, red, crayon! Quick! I need to find a white wall to test this thing!" 

Of course, in the end, he spent most of the morning checking out toys with wheels.  Mom made the theme for his birthday party "tires and wheels".  The cake had black icing and looked just like a wheel.  She invited her friend Margo to come take pictures, so some of those will be up later.

 

When my family picked me up from school we headed out to the park to continue Wesley's birthday celebration.  He loves "cruising" around, but hasn't taken any unassisted steps quite yet. We topped off our time at the park with a breakfast-for-dinner birthday feast at IHOP.  Then, in case eggs, sausage, toast, pancakes and bacon weren't enough unhealthy food for one day, we came home and celebrated by giving Wesley his first cupcake ever!  Here's what he thought:
