Don't hate me because I'm beautiful!

Chillaxin' in my ghetto coupe!

Snoozing sweetness!

I got myself a bit tangled up at Auntie Keea's 40th birthday party, and I wasn't even drinkin'!

In August, Daddy began my training for Peyton Manning's position...we figure we've got a few years yet, but I'm ready!

Daddy and Momma decided to do a photo shoot for my one-year pictures...

...but I'm not too hip on the fru-fru thing, so...

...I stripped it down!

And of course you know my folks, they WORKED IT OUT and took the most beautiful 1st-birthday photograph EVER!!

I love them!

In August, I went to cousin Carson's birthday party...he loves me!

He has a rockin' slide, too!

Did I mention that Momma and Daddy are in the photography business? Well, I'm their muse.

They like to capture all of my personalities and do it well.

CHEESE! No, avocados!

On Labor Day, we headed to Greenview to celebrate - aren't we patriotic?

They threw suckers in the parade - I like suckers!

This is me hanging with my main man, J.T. Yeah, he's a bit older than me, but what's age when you got love?!

Daddy decided to sell our old bike trailer, so here I am at my modeling debut - look out Drew Carey; here I come!!

Looking for my belly button...oh, there it is!

Workin' those steps!

Say what?!

Chillin' wit my home-girls before the big SF United Way campaign 5K race.

Yeah, I medaled.

In early October, I made my first trip to Tanner's Orchard. We had a PBJ tailgate before heading inside to see the family.

They have a ton of pumpkins here!

They have lots of fun things to do, like the Apple Train!

And Auntie Val was there! I love her!!

Oh, and they have loads of goats, and you can feed 'em!

And you wouldn't think it, but it got darned HOT that day, so I stripped it down again!

Then, I played on the bus; it was awesome!

Later that month, Galvin had to practice being a ring bearer at a place called "rehearsal" - I almost died from boredom...

...so, I decided to lick some of the shiny brass in that cathedral-y place...

...but Daddy hauled my sorry ass right outta' there!

But the day of the wedding, Silly Auntie Val was there, so it was all good!

And about a week later, I got to wear my sweet kitty-cat costume, and the neighbors gave me suckers. SWEET!

YES WE CAN!!

Whatchou' talkin' 'bout?!

My very own camera? I'm diggin' that!!

I have a super big brother!

Say cheese!

CHEESE!!

Momma and Daddy dressed me up for what they kept calling a "photo op" on Thanksgiving.

Uncle Craig came home that day...I'm his first encounter with a girl in the family, but he says he'll get used to it. I think he likes me!

God help me...I'm surrounded by BOYS!

Yeah Carson, I don't know what the hell Momma was thinking with this outfit either...I'm outta' here.

I made Momma lose that dressy crap, but she left that bow on my head until I "convinced" her otherwise.

Rockin' in my chair at Mugga's place.

Runnin' the gauntlet i.e., Mugga's parlor - can't do that in a damned dress!

Here we go again with this dressy-dress crap...will that woman ever learn?! I'm outtie!

And who the hell are these people?? Are you CRAZY??!! GET ME OUTTA' HERE!!!

Thank God THAT'S over...make me sit on some old dude's lap--he has a big schnoz, too. Gives whole new meaning to "Stranger Danger."

Auntie Val and Cali came over to make Christmas cookies - didja' know cookie cutters can double as accessories?

When cutting out cookies, you get dough! WOOHOO!!

What's in my mouth you say?

Nothing. Nothing at all.

See--no cookie dough in my teeth!!

YAY for Christmas cookies!

And YAY! for Daddy's buttercream frosting recipe!!

I love Christmas! Stay tuned...
