Happy Birthday to Me!

Holy schnikees. I will be one whole year old when I wake up in the morning. If I wake up before 6:00 AM I won't technically be one. But since I'm nice to my parents and sleep until 7:00 most of the time, this shouldn't be a problem.

To honor this very special occasion, I thought you might enjoy a step back in time to my first days...

Dr. Cady and Nurse Mary helped Mommy and Daddy deliver me. They were fantastic!

Mom is so silly! She pulled my pants all the way up to my armpits. I guess they were kinda big on me.

Here's me and Dad. We were both exhausted! It was quite a busy weekend for my family. See, my Great Grandma died just three days before I was born so there was lots for Dad to do besides just taking care of me and Mom. If you ask my mom, she'll tell you Grandma Gert (and maybe even Grandma Fern and Grandma Lil) had something to do with the fact I decided to be born when all of my family happened to be in town.

I had so many nice places to relax when I was a tiny baby. This one is my papasan.

Here is an early family photo of us. Mom wasn't having the best hair days back then, but that'll happen when you're up most of the night. And the day.

Sometimes I did sleep. And man did I look beautiful and peaceful when I did it!

Look at how little I was! I take up way more of that chair now!!

It looks like these stuffed animals could eat me! Don't worry, I can hold my own against them these days.

Well, I hope you liked that stroll down memory lane. If you'd like to see more of the older pictures of me, visit my flickr site.

Happy birthday to me!
