I'm (Almost) One!

Grandmas and Grandpas Miller and Osborn were there, and Great Grandma Miller, and Aunt Betsy and Uncle Jeff and Jamie, and Chris and Alethia and cousin Mackenzie too!
I did not know what to think of it all at first, then I understood that I was the center of attention, and everything was all right. ;)
All the pictures documenting the day in agonizing detail are here on my photo album. But, for those of you who in a hurry, here is what went down:

After we all ate a good meal, Mommy put this thing in front of me.

I didn't quite know what to think of it at first

Then I realized cake is for EATING

I was pretty excited to have my first real taste of SUGAR!!!!

Then, I deciced I had enough.... I heard there were presents to open!
And everyone gave me great prizes. Nice clothes, books, toys, my own chair, and a rocking snail! (I'm too cool for rocking horses)
Then, I hit the wall. Coming down from that sugar high made me CRASH!
It was a great day. Mommy, Daddy and I thank everyone for making my first birthday such an unforgettable one. (Daddy says when I get older I won't remember anything prior to my 4th birthday, but I think he's full of it)

My first haircut
So, as I said before, I have a bit of a mop on top of my head... or should I say I HAD a mop-top!Today, Momma took me to Cool Tops for Kids in San Ramon to get top chopped. She said I did really good, but I was not sure of it at first. But, now, I am happy that I now do not have to contend with that crazy hair in my eyes anymore!
Here is the 'before' picture:

The first cut!

We don't have any 'after' pics yet, but stay tuned for pics of this weekend's big birthday bash.

Greetings from Michigan
Hello from Michigan!I've been busy meeting family and visiting places here in Michigan.
We flew in last Wednesday morning on the red-eye. It was my first time on an airplane. I slept most of the flight, even though Mommy and Daddy didn't!
On Saturday, we went to Cousin Wendy's house and had a Osborn family get-together.
On Sunday, Uncle John and Aunt Sandy hosted a Zombeck family get-together.
Both were really fun and I had a good time seeing all the family.
On Monday, we picked up Nana and headed Up North to her house in Lewiston for a few days. I went in the lake and I really liked it.
We came back from Lewiston yesterday, dropped off Nana at Uncle Lee and Aunt Sandy's house, and now we are back at Uncle John's place.
Uncle John, Grandpa, Cousin Jordan and Daddy went to the Tigers game last night. They said they had a good time.
Today we go to Greenfield Village
Busy busy!
Daddy is posting a few shots of me here: Brooke August 2006
