I turn one today! My party isn’t gonna be til this next weekend, but today I’m a whole year old.
Tomorrow my Omi and Nanu (that’s my mom’s parents) are driving here from Kentucky to sing happy birthday to me. I met them a long long time ago but I know I’ll remember them when I see them.
Now that I’m one, I’m learning to do a lot more things. I like to stack things up now - I pull all the DVDs off the shelf and put them in a big pile, and I have a box full of corks, and I like to pick them out of the box one by one and put them in a different box. Sometimes I put them all on the cat.
Dad says he’s gonna record my birthday party so we can show everyone who’s not there. I can’t wait.

I know how to walk real good now, and I’ve got two videos to prove it.
First, I’ve got one of me taking my first real good walk, back when my Grandpa Chip and Nana Maureen and Uncle Sean were here. Everyone is standing around and cheering for me as I take all these steps. I even turn around and start walking different directions a few times.
I’d taken a few steps here and there, but this was one of my first real good walks. So that’s the first video.
The second one is a few weeks later, when I really learned how to walk good, like I do now. I fall down a couple times, but I’m walking around on the wood kitchen floor <em>in socks</em>! It gets real slippery, but I’m such a good walker now that I can do it anyway.
I fall down a couple times, but I can get back up now without even grabbing onto anything. I make my mommy and daddy chase me around everywhere now. It’s a lot of fun.
