the fleece-suit that my grandma bought me last fall fits me perfectly now and it keeps me nice and warm in the cold weather. this weekend we got some pumpkins from the farmers market and helped papa with the backyard. he has been working all summer on the re-grading, the new patio and fence. it is looking great and will be ready for me to run around in next year (kind of like my fleece suit!)
i have learned how to climb over the back of the sofa to get out of the living room and up into the dining room. i love my new-found 'freedom' and have a BLAST 'running' around the dining room table. i breathe heavy and giggle as my auntie phonsavan chases me around!
i started walking last wednesday night 1 hour before bedtime. i just stood-up and took a step ... and then started circling the room! my mom is convinced that i have been practicing in my sleep or my mind or SOMETHING, because now i cannot be stopped. it is so much fun!
my momma & papa held a picnic at COMO park for my first birthday. it was so much fun. all of my KEO-cousins {alison, rylan and marin} and my friends {stella & severin, masa, brandon & natalie, and allen} and their parents came!! it was a lot of fun and there was so much tasty food! i think everyone had fun playing at the park, riding on the rides and looking at the animals in the zoo. i had so much fun that i didn't fall asleep for my afternoon nap until 4:30 after we made the full round at the zoo. it was a great end to my first birthday celebrations!
we went up to duluth for the weekend. it was my grandma's birthday on saturday, so we had a picnic at the beach & celebrated her birthday and mine -- my first party for my first birthday! my actual birthday is on the 22nd... my mama and papa are taking me to the minnesota zoo.
