kiss me I'm Irish

We were suppose to go to MOPS today, but had to stay home because my nose is still running. I did enjoy a walk in the afternoon with mom...and then Jeff and Amber came over for an Irish dinner in the evening. I got to wear my green dress for dinner...so mom took a quick picture. We had Irish beef stew, Irish soda bread, salad, pistachio pudding (just because it's green...we decided that it's just edible) and were glad to have mint brownies too.

I sure like being Irish today! :o)

My first steps!

Yeah! Today I was brave enough to take my first steps. I walked from Mommy to Daddy about 6 steps. I did it several times over again. Here's a video...but mommy forgot and turned her camera the wrong way again, and it's from the backside. So...we will try to get a better video and post it real soon!

I love my blankie

This is how Mommy and Daddy found me last night when they were going to bed. I'm still not feeling well...so I cuddled up with my blankie and propped myself up so I could breath better. I wonder what I was dreaming about....

Another birthday weekend

This past weekend we went to Ohio for more birthday celebrating! Grandma Finnegan had a birthday party for me at her house. It was so fun to see lots of family and friends in Ohio. They gave me lots of love and of course birthday presents too. I wasn't feeling too good on Saturday...but had a good day anyway. Thanks Grandma for a great party!

Uncle Cody and Aunt Erica spent the weekend at Papa and Grandma's with us. They couldn't wait to give me my gift...and I couldn't wait for it either...so I got to open it on Friday night. I was so excited to get maracas to add to my music collection!

Another cupcake! Tasting the icing first this time...

yum! I didn't eat as much since I wasn't feeling good...but they were still yummy.

Time for gifts...Caleb was my helper...he was so excited and did a great job helping! He got me started on each gift...let me pull and little and then helped finish. I'm so glad that he was able to come to my party!

We had fun riding on Grandma's pony together!

mommy tried to get a picture of my cute outfit..but was reminded why she didn't take so many pics...I just wasn't feeling up to pictures...

but we did get a nice family pic

My friend Maggie

Last Tuesday I went visit my friends Micah and Maggie (and their mom and dad too). We had a yummy dinner then got to play with all of Micah and Maggies toys. We have lots in common already: Maggie is almost the same age as me. We were due to be born on the same day...but she was a little more anxious to get here and was born a few weeks earlier. Her Daddy is a youth pastor just like mine..so she loves teenagers too! The last time I saw Maggie we were both tiny...so it was fun to get to play together this time. Here's a pic of us playing with her tea pot and piggy bank together...isn't she so cute?!

caught in the act...

...again.

I discovered the tupperware containers!! I had so much fun pulling all of the containers and lids out. I had fun playing them like a drum and banging them together to make music too. Mommy didn't mind too much because I was having so much fun!

Hannah Banana loves banana's!

I love being able to eat finger foods now...and one of my favorite fruits are bananas. I have been working on the sign for banana...but it's a tricky one. Of course Mommy was so excited when I got it!

After signing banana...mommy gave me some on a spoon...I love to feed myself!
