Year one

Wow has it been a hole year already? It seems like only yesterday I was nearing my mommy and daddy for the first time.
I would have to say that it has been an exciting year. I got to do a lot of new things, well actually everything I got to do was new but that is besides the point.

You will be happy to know that my daddy's training is coming along real well, the 8 months that he had at home with me helped a lot. Right now we are working on him trying to get me changed while I move around. Don't tell him that I said this but he is not too good at it but he is getting better.
This year I met both mommy's and daddy's family. It is always fun when I get to see them.
I also have gotten to try lots of new foods my favorite one I think is turkey dinner, it is just so yummy I just can't get enough. I sure hope that we have it again soon.

I have also gotten to meet my two doggies. At first mommy and daddy were not too sure how they were going to react but now they are two of my bestest friends. Nanuk is funny, every day when daddy lets them in after work Nanuk comes running in the back door and runs into the living room looking for me only to come back into the kitchen and find me sitting in my chair. Every day I am in my chair in the same spot but she always runs past me. When she finds me she comes over and gives me a sniff and a kiss and I sometimes give her a little bit of my cookie.
Madison took a little longer to warm up to me. She was not too sure at first but now that I am eating regular food and she has learned that I tend to drop some she has become really friendly at meal times lol. Some times when she is cuddling with daddy on his chair and I come over she grumbles but daddy always tells her to stop and for me to not bug her. It is fun though and I know Madison is just playing around, and Madison even gives me kisses now.

I thought it was going to be scary when daddy went back I work and I had to go to a baby sitter but it has been lots of fun. I am on my second baby sitter, my first one had to move but I still get to see her. She was lots of fun. She has two boys and it was interesting watching them run around and play. Have you ever noticed how loud boys can be? Wow and I don't think that they ever stop. She also has two girls. They used to argue over who was going to help take care of me.
My new baby sitter has 4 boys. Ain't that just crazy? Her oldest is my best friend. I give him smiles when I see him and he gives me a hug when daddy picks me up. I don't get to see them too mug though cuz they go to school (what ever that is but it sounds like fun seeing as just about everyone seems to go there) so for most of the day it is just me and the sitter. She takes me for walks when the weather is good, and we go for car rides sometimes and maybe one day she will take me to her farm and I will get to see the animals.

Also this year I have gotten to try lots of new foods. Do you have any idea how many different ones there are? My daddy does a lot of the cooking, it is a good thing that he is kinda good at it, mommy cooks on her day off and she is good too. I haven't found too many foods that I don't like I seem to like them all. But I would have to say that turkey and ham are my favorite. Though after my birthday with mommy and daddy and then my birthday party I would have to say that birthday cake is up there too.
Mommy picked up a strawberry ice cream cake for my birthday. I wasn't sure what it was cuz it sure didn't look like strawberries but WOW was it ever good. About half way through my pice my hands were getting cold from it but it was just too yummy to stop eating.

This weekend we all went to grandmas house and mommy surprised me with a birthday party. Everyone was there, grandma and my other grandma and grandpa and my great grandma and great grandpa and my other great grandpa and my great aunt and my aunt Tracy and uncle Rob and their 3 girls and my aunt Teri and uncle Sid and aunt April and her tow kids and Jason and Nat and Wrigley. I think that is everyone, sorry if I missed anyone. They got me presents and aunt April brought cake, and guess what? I got a cake all to my self. It wasn't ice cream cake but it was still good. It was chocolate. They put it on my tray and I got to dig I. And did I ever. I used both hands and got most of it in my mouth then got some in my hair, behind my ear, in my ear, in my nose and all over my face, I think it was smart of mommy to take my shirt off first. The I only place I didn't get any was on my chair.
Well I hope you liked hearing about some of my first year. I sure hope the next year is as good.
I should be going now though. Mommy and daddy think I am in bed sleeping, don't tell them that I am up in their room using daddy's phone.
Talk to you later.
