Wrapping Up August

My first month of being one has pretty much rocked. I got to do so much fun stuff, some of which I already shared and some that I am finally getting around to telling you about. A couple weeks ago my  playgroup where I have met most of my friends did a great big birthday party for those of us who turned one from June to September. It was a pirates and princesses theme (how cool is that?) and we all drwe names and had a "secret Santa" type gift exchange. I got to pick out something for awesome Ava (I was sooo happy that she liked her present, it was a bunch of cool instruments and Momma made her an Alter Ego doll that is a dancing monster to go with it!) and the lovely Miss Lola had me. Lola's mommy was so amazing and got us something that Momma has been wanting and wanting- -a Babyhawk! So I am sure most of you have never heard of this crazy awesome invention. It's a baby carrier. I will provide some pictures. I have pretty much grown out of the baby carriers Momma used the first year of my life, but this one goes up to 40 lbs. Momma says I might be 10 years old by then. The Babyhawk is really nice and snuggly and comfy. The best part was that my Momma was super duper surprised and excited.

There I am all strapped in and there's just a peek of Miss Lola with her mommy.

Arrrrrgh, Matey's! It's a better view than the crow's nest!

The day after the party was the weekend and we spent that whole weekend at the beach with my friend Uncle Trey. He has been in Iraq for a year (but I got to meet him one time for just a little bit) and he just came home. Uncle Trey is the guy that introduced Momma and Daddy. Good thing for me that that worked out! Uncle Trey played in the ocean with me a ton AND gave me rides in my Tonka. Saturday night after my day at the beach I slept 13 hours straight! Then I woke up and we went back to the beach Sunday. I wore a pirate tattoo from my party to the beach. I wasn't sure what was on my arm at first, but after trying to pull it off for awhile I realized that skull was stuck.

The next weekend (which was this past one, the last one in August) we went to the beach AGAIN on Saturday with Uncle Clay and Brett and Amy and some other pretty cool people.

On Sunday we went to the lake with lots of other friends. Yep! There's a Lake Corpus Christi! I was so worn out by the end of the day I fell asleep in my life jacket. In my boat.

The very last day of August I went to the aquarium. I really love that place. It was so nice this time because all the big guys are back at school so the aquarium was pretty much all ours. It gave me ample room for my favorite game. In this game I dash (crawl) as faaaaaast as I can makin' a break for it. Then I stop and look back to make sure someone is watching. Then when they get up and chase me I go even faster! And just before they catch me I can't take it anymore and I hang my head down and laugh and laugh. That game is hilarious! When we left the aquarium I shared my first ice cream cone with Momma! It was Blue Bell chocolate and pecan praline smooshed into a waffle cone. Yummmmmmmmmmm! This is one of the best videos we've shared.
