On September 10th, Mommy and Daddy got married! We are "The Franzens" now! The day could not have been more beautiful! We were all worried the night before, because it was raining while we were at the rehearsal, and that morning it was all foggy and damp. But, thankfully, by 3pm it was sunny and warm! :D Everyone said they had a great time, and the dance floor was always rockin'! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to stay long. I was so tired and couldn't find a quiet place to catch some zzzz, so Aunt Erica and Jamie had to take me home. Thanks guys for missing out on great fun, only to take care of little ole me! We are looking forward to taking our family cruise in December! (I hear the beach is nice...!) Here is a picture of the cute couple (Mommy and Daddy)!
Wow, have I learned a lot since my last post!
1) I said "Hi" to Mama in the car. Both Mommy and Daddy heard it but I decided to hold on to that one for awhile longer. They've tried to get me to say it again, but... I do what I want!
2) I learned how to crawl on my hands and knees! I was only able to do the "Army crawl" for the longest time. But now... I can get around much easier! It helps being on my knees so I can pull up to stand!
3) I love to stand! I like to stand and walk around furniture and toys! I have a whole new view when I'm not dragging my body across the floor!
4) "Da-Da" is my favorite word! I say it All. Day. Long! Mommy and Daddy love to hear it, but Mommy wishes I would say "Ma-Ma" too. I will surprise her with that one a little later, too!
5) I took 4 steps to Daddy! I love trying to walk! And I love to see Mommy and Daddy's proud smiles!
6) I love watching TV as usual, but I especially love watching my, Baby Signing Time, DVD! "Let's dance!... Dance! ....Do the dia-per dance!"
7) My latest interest is standing in my crib when Mommy lays me down for bed. She doesn't give in though... she's not the softy that one might think. She just climbs into the crib with me and keeps laying me down until I am too tired to pull up to stand anymore! I think I will give this up tonight... it's so tiring! By the way... I like when Mommy lays with me in my crib! :)
8) I am a little over a week away from turning ONE!! Mommy has this huge Dr. Seuss themed party planned for me! I can't wait to see all of my friends... and the fun toys I've been told I will get!
9) I have two bottom teeth! Mommy says she can see that my top two teeth are going to pop through any day now! I'm excited to have some chompers to get through the beef that comes in some of my baby foods. I just can't get it down quite yet! However, I don't know if Mommy is excited. Her shoulder is just so fun to bite down on sometimes! >:)
10)I am turning into a toddler! Mommy and Daddy tell me they can't believe how much I grow every day. They tell me that they love me like 100 thousand times a day!.... and they ask me if I could stop being so stinkin' cute just as much! LOL! They are so funny and I love them lots!
Did I mention...I'm really looking forward to my party!!! Mommy has spent the last couple of weeks, since their wedding, doing all things Dr. Seuss! We decided on the theme,Dr. Seuss, because my favorite book is "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" and one of my favorite morning shows is "The Cat In The Hat Knows A Lot About That!" Mommy then found some really cool ideas for that theme, online, so she went with it! She said she wants it to be perfect for my first birthday! Daddy says he knows it will look great and that Mommy is her toughest critic. (Whatever that means.)
SN: I hear I get to eat cake, for the first time, at my party. Do you think I will like it?! And "dig into it" like Mommy and Daddy are hoping I will?! ......... I think so, too! :D
