I am not sure on how I got in here, but it sure is fun. I come here so often, however this was first for me. I usually just run around and bother the other kids.

Now here is one of my favorite pictures. I am learning the two-step dance like I see on TREEHOUSE TV. One step forward, one step backward. It is just so much fun, especially when you have all the room in the world to work on it. It was such a nice day here and I really had a ball with mum & dad. That guy taking pictures must really like me as he just kept on snapping and snapping. Perhaps he has a crush on me, but he looked a bit to old for me.

Isn`t this nice to go for a walk in the park as a family! Only wish my parents had more colour to match my outfit, but guess they can`t afford everything like me. I am walking now, actually can run pretty good too. That is why they are each holding one of my hands.

Made it up on this chair, sure is nice to be able to see the world from this level as it does put a different perspective on things. This is not really a big chair, just right for me though, although I do wish it had arms where one could rest their arms.

Did you ever look at these small flowers. They have such little petals and remind me kinda of when I was a baby. Now I am growing up so fast, but I can still take the time to look and examine things around us.

Now this is more like it. Must be that I am one year old today and everyone is making a fuss over me. All my Grandmas & Grampa`s, and even some other good friends & relations are here. Even my uncle Johnny is here. This cake is so, so good that I can`t take the time to cut it up into small pieces and put it into my mouth.

Easter time is here and I have been looking for a live bunny rabbit outside but KOKO ( my dog ) barks at everything so perhaps they will not come around our house. I want all the jelly beans and stuff like that. You know I am starting to grow up and should be treated the same as everyone else.

Finally getting some real food. That milk in a bottle is OK, but NOT all the time. It won`t be that long before I hold this spoon myself or at least be able to grab it in my hands and create a mush dish. You know, something that looks like spaghetti. That way I will be able to throw it everywhere and watch Mum & Dad clean it up.

Off to the Park for Canada Day. This should be a ball as I am getting big enough to wave a flag and if I am real lucky my Dad will give me some ice cream. Grampa snuck me some the other day and it was terrific. Don`t tell anybody.

Ok this is a close up shot of me just in case people can not recognize me. I really have not changed that much, at least I don`t think so. I am still as pretty as ever. Just hope it stays that way until I am a teenager.

Close up shot with me in the middle. I was looking to see where KOKO and Grampa were. I do not want him to run away because he has to get back here and get into some of these photos with me but he never seems to stop moving. I am glad I do not have to look after him because for sure I can not run that fast.

A Professional shot in the garden. We all look so good but mum and dad actually had to hold me up straight as sometimes I would fall over without help. Aren`t the colours in the garden beautiful and the lady that took the pictures brought a blanket for us to sit on.

I do not want him to run away because he has to get back here and get into some of these photos with me but he never seems to stop moving. I am glad I do not have to look after him because for sure I can not run that fast.

In the trees and there is squirrels running around also. I did not realize that I needed a tree to support me, but when the doctor told me I was 1 pound overweight, that could of made a difference. Anyway I wish I could climb up the trees and visit the squirrels and birds, but the tree is so big I can not even get my arms around it.

Told you KOKO was with me. She is getting more protective now and I actually think she might like me a little bit. All these photo shots made me a bit tired, so I was resting as KOKO was making sure that no one would bother us.

Mummy, mummy I do love you and you can give me kisses all day long. BUT when I am searching the sky above for special signs of what the future will bring me, I really have to concentrate. It is so important that we kids look at everything possible now, as there are some signs indicating that times are changing and we may not have these beautiful things when we get older.

In the arms of daddy, who is all dressed up, top hat and matching shoes. How come these adults get to wear what they want, and I had to put on a special dress? Anyway, don`t we make a great father and daughter team.

Now this was getting to the end of the photo shoot and I could finally change my clothes to something more comfortable. I was glad he was looking after me as I could lay there and really get a good look at him. Maybe he was getting tired too.

I still trust you doctor, but what is that thing in your hand. It has a sharp point so please make sure it does not scratch me like my finger nails sometimes do. That hurts, and my skin does not look as beautiful as it should. I am too young to put make-up on to cover the scratch up.

I am listening to every word you say doctor as this is my first visit and I want to be a very healthy little girl. It is important that I understand and follow your direction. This is a very big table, do big people use it also. I am glad that I am the right size and healthy. A pound overweight is not that bad nor is being very active. Didn`t tell him that the formula Good Start with special ingredients may have something to do with it. I am now excercising every day, and when I get crawling that extra pound will go away fast.

My first cookie and not even three months old. I actually had about a quarter of this, just about the same amount as Cookie-Monster on TV. This is a Farley cookie and I just loved it, but since I do not have any teeth yet, all I could do was munch and munch until it looked about the same size as Cookie-Monster`s. Isn`t he a funnly looking character. They actually have quite a few good shows on TV now for us kids.

Now how come this is my first bite of real food. It took almost three months for you to give me something other than milk. This one is really tasty, and I like it because it is messy and gets all over my face. Then you have to clean it up and make me look really beautiful again. I can`t wait until I get more hair so I can get it in there and have extra shampoos during the day.

Now this is the way you hold a bottle. Not like you guys as you forever let it drop and all I get is air. I don't like getting a lot of air because you continually pat me on the back to get rid of that gas.

OK, OK, this is my non-beautiful time which is very rare. Usually I am pretty close to being perfect but once in a blue moon I cry. Especially when people put me in a pool and I don`t even know how to swim. I don`t want to drown. Please take me to swimming lessons so I will not be afraid of the water.

This is just my personal time. Nice and quiet and I can watch TV in peace without someone hanging around me. It is really nice not having to listen to all the conversations so I can pay attention to what is happening in the real world.

>	Here is the way I sleep at night. Can't even roll over on my stomach and practice crawling. But it may be pretty good for me, as I sleep thru the whole night now-a-days, usually anywhere between 7-10 hours. This makes Mummy & Daddy very happy.

I like Baseball. The whole family does. Do you know that my Grampa has been to all the MLB Baseball parks and has his own website. I just don't know how he can keep those web-sites going and still play all day with me. By the way, Grampa likes the Blue Jays but Daddy likes the Pirates, so you can see where my priorities are.

Now don`t I look fine, and a minute ago I was laying on my back. I have worked at it, and can now roll over completely and am able to move with tummy crawling about 4-5 feet. If I keep this up I should be able to get around the room in a couple of weeks. This is fun, but sometimes I get so upset because it is hard work. Maybe if you all think about me it will help. PS: The background pic is my dog KOKO, who looks at me, but is very jealous as I get the most attention.

So why shouldn`t I laugh. Grandpa is playing with me and he is such a hoot. It sure is great that everyone around here is so much fun. I hope that things never change and that I will be this happy every day.

>	Ok, I really do not know what day it is but that flag looks like Canada. Whatever, it is such a nice day here in the park and everyone is looking at me with this bright red top. I have been waving back but am not sure that they realize it in all the commotion.

A family picture without the adults. My dog Koko finally sat still enough to have her picture taken. My bear and tiger were very good and sat still most of the time. I can`t wait until I get older so I can run around like Koko. She never stops and gets into the dirt and all that fun stuff. Mummy and Daddy will be real happy to see me running all over the place.

These baby showers are so tiring. Everyone wants to grab me and give me a hug and kiss. I do however get a lot of great gifts, some that I can use very close to me but mummy or daddy throws them into the garbage soon after. Other things get washed so I can use them again. They last longer I quess and are not disposable.

Some of these shower gifts are very interesting. It has taken me hours and hours to figure out what this one is all about. Everything looks so big when I am laying on the floor, even Koko my dog, but I don't have to lay here long, just give a little cry and someone will come over, pick me up and then I can see things the same way they do.

This fresh air makes you tired very fast. Maybe that is why adults take you for a walk in the stroller. I know that I will get used to it, and will be able to see everything around me and keep my eyes open. Sometimes I have heard other kids crying out and asking me where I am going, but I can`t tell them as this is the first time for me.

Ah, they finally covered me up. Is this shawl ever comfortable and it is so easy to go to sleep and dream about the birds and bees, and think about what I can learn tomorrow. That is the best thing as every day I learn so much. I just can`t wait until I can drive or at least not have to look backwards in that car seat. Why can`t they design a safe car seat so we can still look out and see where we are going. Better not complain to much or they could ship me back to where I came from, but don`t think they will as everyone is still coming over to say hello and wishing me the best.

Such a comfortable place to rest, but the longer I stay here the more I wish someone would cover me up. Maybe if I open up my eyes and start crying someone will bring over a blanket. But now, it is just super comfy and I don`t know what I can get away with as I am only a couple of weeks old. The more I hear mummy and daddy talk and get spoiled by Grandma`s and Grandpa`s the better my understanding will be.

It sure is great to be in a bed of flowers. Seems very fitting for my first photo shoot. I can smell every one of them, and each one reminds me of how peaceful this is. The pink colours are also very appropriate, as you know I have been told I am a girl, and that I can do anything I want when I grow up. This sure does seem to be a great place to come to. And I have so many aunts and uncles, and cousins, and just people that love me. Boy am I happy, but I would like that thing in my bellybutton to go away.

Ah, my gosh! This is much better than expected. I have so many toys and things to look at. It will take me years before I can see everything in this room. And I have a private room without all those kids crying. This is so, so nice. And a semi crib to keep me in place. They thought of everything that anyone like me could want. Think I will stay for awhile.

My first ride in a car and I can barely keep my eyes open, What`s going on, I liked that hospital as they gave me first class treatment. I don't know where I am even going! Will it be nice and will I get everything I want. Should I cry or wait until I see if it is any good..

Here I am. My first day and cuddled up in this warm blanket. Who was that man with a surgical mask that helped me make it to this beautiful place. They are all so nice here, and all kinds of visitors, Grandma`s and Grandpa`s always saying I looked so cute. I know that, but it is nice to hear everyone saying it around you.

Now, I can remember this. All those good stories and a different one each night. I must be really lucky to have a storyteller in the family. And some of it was in French also. Where am I going to? Will all these stories help me understand that world? I sure hope so, because they sure are so nice and I know that storyteller has a lot of love in his heart.

What is this stomach thing and shaped like a heart. I can't remember very much at this point. Must of been before my time, however I seem to remember that there could have been a little bit of love, perhaps even a movement towards great things to come in my future.
