My Birthday Weekend!

It was a busy weekend and I had so much fun! Thanks to Grammy, Papa, Charmie, Daulton, Devin, and Cayleb for helping me celebrate my 1st birthday! Mommy and daddy took lots of pictures. Here are some general pictures of the weekend. Enjoy!

Kissing the boys...

Now that I am a year old, I like to kiss boys... I especially like kissing my cousins and i am not even from West Virginia. My cousins are just so cute and they take such good care of me, I just need to kiss them! Thank you Devin, Cayleb and Daulton for sharing my birthday with me!

Happy Birthday Crazy Crumbz

Hope your first year was awesome!!
We love ya!
Mommy and Daddy

Pictures and video from her birthday party coming soon!

My First Trip to the Aquarium

It was so hot today that mommy and daddy decided to take us to the aquarium. We saw sharks, sting rays, and lots of fish.

My First Haircut!

Aunt Chris gave me my first haircut after the party! Mommy and daddy had to bribe me with a cupcake as well as complete the haircut in two parts: one with daddy and one with mommy. Thanks Aunt Chris for the GREAT haircut! The world looks so much different now that my bangs aren't hanging in my eyes.

Here are some pictures of the event!

My Birthday Party!

Today was my birthday party and it was HOT!!! Nonetheless, I had a BLAST! All of our friends and some of our family were here to help me celebrate! Papa and daddy cooked ribs while grammy made a layered salad and baked beans. YUMMY! Mommy and the boys made my cupcakes! Check out the mini cupcake cake mommy made just for me!

It was a great time! Thanks to everyone who helped make my day special!

Hanging out at the beach!

The boys wanted to go to the beach while they were here. Who wouldn't? Besides, it's so convenient having the beach right across the street from my house.

It was so HOT and the water felt SO good! As you can see from the pictures, I had my first tasted of beach sand. UGH! Daddy and the boys swam out to the sandbar...it was far! Mommy and I hung on the beach catching some rays.

Show me your...

"MEAN" Face

Our little baby girl has a cute little "mean" face where she squniches up her nose and breathes in and out. It is even more cute when she does it on demand! Crazy Crumbz, show daddy your mean face!!

Momma please post a pic here!!

Here it is....Love, "momma"

My First Boat Trip

I had a great time on my first overnight boat trip this weekend. Mr. Jack, Ms. Isma and Bermuda invited us to go on an overnight boat trip on their 38' Bayliner. We left their house around 9 on Saturday morning and returned Sunday around 1 pm. Our original plan was to travel the Chickahominy River. However, we weren't sure what the weather was going to do so we anchored in the Hampton River. Bermuda and I had lots of fun playing and I love being outside. So, you can imagine how much I enjoyed my Saturday/Sunday boating adventure.

Franken Baby

So there is the baby, walking around like "Franken-baby", arms out stretched walking around all stiff legged kind of funny. She is even making funny Frankstein type noises!!! However she is much cuter!

I love my little Franken-baby!

Memorial Day

What is Memorial Day? The holiday got started on May 30, 1868, when Union General John A. Logan declared the day an occasion to decorate the graves of Civil War soldiers. Twenty years later, the name was changed to Memorial Day. On May 11, 1950, Congress passed a resolution requesting that the President issue a proclamation calling on Americans to observe each Memorial Day as a day of prayer for permanent peace and designating a period on that day when the people of the United States might unite in prayer. President Richard M. Nixon declared Memorial Day a federal holiday in 1971. Memorial Day is now observed on the last Monday of May. It is an occasion to honor the men and women who died in all wars.

To celebrate Memorial Day, we spent the morning at the beach and the afternoon eating ribs with Aunt Chris and Uncle Larry! Happy Memorial Day and thanks to all the men and women who died for our freedom!

Future Cheerleader?

Sunday Outing

The weather was beautiful so mommy and daddy decided we should go to Yorktown. On our way there we stopped at Chili's for lunch; mommy wanted a quesadilla explosion salad. From there, we made our way to the Yorktown Riverwalk Landing. We parked the car, walked and played in the grass. It was a great time! On the way home, we stopped at Cold Stone Creamery (mommy and daddy had icecream while I slept in the stroller) and Bass Pro Shop (check out our new hats).

Strawberry Festival

Today we met Uncle Larry and Aunt Chris for lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings. Afterwards, we decided to go to the Pungo Strawberry Festival. After six years of living here, none of them had ever been; what a shame. We drank rootbeer, ate corn-on-the-cob and shortcake, and daddy and Uncle Larry rode one of the rides. It was a lot of fun!

Funny Story

CC is quite the "boobie baby". Since she was born, I've used the boppy when I nurse her. Well, now that she's older (yes, almost a year) and bigger, she brings the boppy to me (or to the best of her ability) when it's "that time". When I put the the boppy on my lap she starts to giggle and gets very excited; it's the cutest thing. I'm not sure how I'm going to wean this one! I'm thinking a week-long vacation for me -- daddy and CC can hang out. :-)

No birthday picture in the Sink, Daddy!

You may remember that my parents like to take my "birthday" picture in the kitchen sink. Well, as I get older, I don't like it so much!

New Bouncy Ball "Thingy"

Grandpa visited me this weekend and brought me a really cool bouncy ball "thingy". Thank you! I'll make sure daddy blows it up for my birthday party!

Here are some pictures that daddy took.

Sickly Girl

I guess after 11 months of being healthy, CC was due her first illness. We're not sure what she's had but it included fever (not too high), restlessness, runny nose, sneezing and coughing. I haven't had much sleep this week so the blog entries have been non-existent these past few days.

1st Birthday Celebration

Mother's Day Gift

For Mother's Day, CC and her sweet daddy gave me a Flip Video. If you've never heard of it, check it out! It's a great way to take short video clips if you don't have a digital camera (or one that takes video, like me). I'll do my best to upload some of the video clips that we took on Mother's Day!

Mommy's First Mother's Day

Today we celebrated Mother's Day at Aunt Laura and Uncle Jose's house. Aunt Chris, Auntie Anne and Angela (Aunt Laura' sister) were there, too! It was SOOO much fun!

You can see from the pictures that we had a lot of fun!

Happy Mother's Day, Grammy!

Busy Saturday!

Today was a busy day. It started with a baby shower at 3:00 for Ms. Teri and Mr. Chris; they're having twins in July. At 5:30, we helped Aunt Sue celebrate her graduation from medical school! Needless to say, I was exhausted by the time we got in the car to go home (around 8:45 pm). I had so much fun playing with all the kids. At the shower, there were 13 kids all under the age of 5. I didn't know what to do with myself. While at Aunt Sue's party, I played with her nephew who's 3; he's a cutie and lots of fun. Mommy and daddy didn't take pictures at Aunt Sue's party; I'll see if Uncle Steve will send me the one's he took. Check out the baby shower pictures...

Naptime with Daddy

Bathtime....

is CRAZY! Check out all the letters and numbers that I have. Yippee!

Not a fun birthday!

CC didn't feel too good (tummy ache) on her birthday! We think it might have been some new food she tried.

So, we didn't get any pictures. Here's a picture that I took of her this morning using the web cam on our MAC.

Happy 11 Month Birthday

We can't believe you're already 11 months old; where does the time go? We love you, CC!

Oops!

CC had her first "poop accident" in the bathtub. As any proud father would, Nutz captured the moment with the camera.

Happy Birthday, Cayleb!

My cousin, Cayleb, turned 7 on May 1. We love and miss you!

Cinco de Mayo!

To celebrate Cinco de Mayo, we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant with Auntie Anne. I promise, the margarita didn't belong to me.

Drunk with Boobmilk

Every now and again I get to share the evening ritual with my wife and daughter. It never fails to amaze me how when our little girl is tired and her thirst for momma's nectar has been quenched how she rambles around the bed like a drunken sailor. Pretty funny how a full tummy and ooh 3-4 hours since nap time will effect the little one. I get a kick out of it. Maybe we will record some of these intimate moments and post to the blog.

Hanging out at the beach!

One of the great things about where we live is that the beach is right across the street. This afternoon, mommy and daddy took me to the beach so I could play in the sand for the first time! It was so much fun; I even ate some sand.

Happy Birthday, Sofia!

Today I went to Sofia's 4th birthday party at the zoo! It was a lot of fun!

Corn-on-the-cob!

I'm ready for some Texas Hold-em!

Visiting the Oceanfront
