Freddy Hill Farm Fall Fest 10/4/09

We had a great time at Freddy Hill Farm yesterday! We went to fall fest with Aunt Amy, Uncle Gary, and Mason. Check out everything we did!

I Love to Help Mommy...

and I really love when I get to climb on the coffee table!!!!!!!!!!

Big Day for ME!

Sorry, no picture to accompany this post (Mommy says someday I'll be grateful for that)...

Just wanted to let you all know that this morning I went PEE PEE in my new POTTY!!!!!!

Mommy did a lot a yelling, and then she called Daddy, so I guess it was a good thing! I must say, I had fun sitting on the potty playing travel Yahtzee... I think I heard Mommy muttering something that sounded like "just like daddy," but I'm not sure.

Sleeping Angel :)

Happy Birthday to ME!

Guess what? I'm one year old!!!!!! Here's what Mommy posted on her website yesterday..

Today I don't know if I should cry or laugh, so I think I'll do a little of both. My little girl is one today... and I am just shaking my head in disbelief that 365 days have passed since we caught our first glimpse of each other. Each and every day has been a gift...whether she was reaching another milestone, or we were just cuddling up on the couch as the snow blanketed the ground outside... I am continually humbled by this little miracle. The joy that she has brought into our lives is immeasurable- all of those years of hearing "when you have kids, you'll understand" suddenly make perfect sense.

Lily Bean, you continue to amaze me. Your smile is enough to brighten even my darkest of days. You are my little sidekick, your daddy's little princess. I can only imagine what fun and wonderful things your 2nd year will bring. Happy Birthday! I love you!

Niagara Falls, Day 2

Well, we are officially on our way home after a great trip! We are about 3 hours from home and I'm thinking about taking a nap!

Yesterday we explored the falls a bit more, went swimming at our hotel, and ate dinner while watching a pretty rainbow over the falls!

What a fun vacation! Oh, and just in case you're keeping track: I am 11 months old and I have now been to 14 states and 1 foreign country. I have ridden in a car and on airplanes and a boat!

Niagara Falls, Day 1

We made it to Canada! Yesterday I left the United States for the first time! Not bad considering I'm only 11 months old! :) We found our nice hotel very quickly and had time to unpack and eat some lunch.

Mommy and Daddy wanted to take me on a big boat ride (another first!)



You're not going to BELIEVE who we found in Niagara Falls...........



Chris, Becky, Sadie, and Becky's parents!!!!!! We spent the day with them, on the Maid of the Mist and at the Butterfly Conservatory!



I really enjoyed the boat ride... UNTIL the WATER started to POUR down on top of us!!!!!! Daddy had to race me to the middle of the boat where I felt a little safer!

After that, we just enjoyed the pretty view!











After that, it was off to see some butterflies!
