Fun with Godmother Amy on My Birthday Weekend

Today is my first birthday. We celebrated all weekend and I even had a special visitor - my Godmother from Wisconsin. Now that I'm one year old, she introduced me to all sorts of new foods - some of which I was not a fan - and I practiced drinking with my sippy cup. Mommy said she was a huge help with my party, but I was too busy having fun. We finished the extended weekend with a nice stroll today in unusual 67 degree weather. Godmother Amy then hopped on her plane to fly home and landed in 12 degree weather. I think she was happy to see me.

Learning to use a sippy cup.


I really do not like avocado.


Story time -- thank you for the new books!


Snuggle time


PARTY TIME!

Grandparent's Day

This past Sunday was Grandparent's Day. Nickolas was pretty good about getting his cards out in time to his Grandparents, Great-grandmother, and Great-grandfather; however, mommy and daddy were not as good with putting a little tribute up on Wee Chitlin. In honor of Grandparents Day, here are some photos with Nickolas and his beloved Grandparents.

Back to KY

Nickolas took a little trip to see his Grandparents and we all had a lovely time eating, playing with the dogs, and taking in two spectacular sunsets. I'm tempted to move there -- Nickolas took 3 nearly 2-hour naps each day we were there. Must be that fresh country air.

Each evening, we took a nice walk with Grandfather Manoo up the road and back accompanied by several dogs. One of the dogs, Ranger, ran up to us to show off a cute little bunny ... dead in his mouth. That was a first for Aimee. Nickolas seemed to notice the dogs more this time and one morning, Dan came into the kitchen with Nickolas to wash his little hand over the sink after petting the dogs. Never too early to learn good hygiene.

I think we each gained a pound or two thanks to Nana Jean's fabulous cooking which isn't helping Aimee shed her pregnancy weight. Maybe next summer...
