Happy Easter! Thanks Easter Bunny.

Greetings all.

I am going to make up for skipping the month of February by posting twice in March. I am really getting the hang of this walking thing and have quit the bottle. I wasn't too sure about the whole sippy cup dealio at first, but now I am kinda digging it. I have been climbing quite a bit here at home as well.

We celebrated Easter by going to the Zoo for an Easter egg hunt yesterday. It was so much fun to play with the eggs that I sat down and did just that during the hunt. Other children were putting their eggs in their baskets, but I just wanted to play with mine. We got to see lots of animals and had a great day!

So, we are pretty excited around the house these days - for a couple of reasons 1. Spring and nicer weather - we hope it arrives sooner rather than later 2. Opening season of baseball.

Happy Easter to each of you! I hope you spent it with your families and just enjoyed the day! We sure did.

Love, The Mav

Having fun in the little red wagon. Thanks to Elaine for letting us borrow it!

Bring on the nice weather!

Sorry we skipped the month of February, no excuse. I turned one year old on the 22 of the month and we had a fantastic celebration at my house. So many friends and family attended and we sure did have a great time. Grandpa Steve made the long trip along with Aunt Shelley, Cousins Finley and Harper, Aunt Lisette, Uncle Shae, and Cousins Teddy and Leo. I feel so loved! Melissa took lots of pictures and I got to eat cake and ice cream for the first time! Yummo. I received so many wonderful gifts and can't wait to wear all of my new clothes!

I went to my one year old well baby checkup and weighed in at 24 pounds 3 ounces - the 75th percentile and am 32 1/2 inches long - the 95th percentile. I had to get three shots and the MMR really stung, but I was a brave boy and Grandpa Steve was there so I felt safe!

I started walking a couple of days after my first birthday and have been practicing here and there. My Mama has been teaching me all kinds of new words and I love to repeat what I hear. She said she will have to really start to watching what she says, whatever that means! Some words I have said are Oliver - this is my doggie's name, Elmo, love, blue, uh oh. I love to climb on my new chair and continue to chase balls around the house.

Mama, Grandpa Steve, and I took a trip to Indianapolis to visit Darcy and Amber at the beginning of March. We went to the Children's Museum there. It was a neat place and we had so much fun! I got to ride on a carousel for the first time and I liked it!

We have been taking walks with the nicer weather and I love to be outdoors. We are so ready for spring and summer! Enjoy the pictures below!

My Birthday Party!
