Welcome friends and family to my blog – as my first official post, I think you need to see what I’ve been up to for the last year.
This should give you a taste for what to expect when you read my blog.
Barely 1:
I was (and still am) a little sheepish about the slide…
At 14 months, I finally slept through the night…
Pasta is my favorite food:
My allegiance to USC is through my godparents.
Last summer I went to the beach with my bestfriend, WIll.
Fourth of July:
I followed my cousins around Puerto Rico last summer.
I caught up with them at the Bacardi Factory.
And caused trouble at Cousin Alex’s wedding…
Halloween – scary!
Lions, monkeys, and bears. Oh my!
Holidays:
My cousins at Thanksgiving.
How does an 18 month old fall asleep on the living room floor? His mother drags him sound asleep out of his crib to try to get an adorable Christmas card photo: 
Yes! I own 2 pairs of lederhosen. Take it up with my parents.
Santa and I didn’t hit it off. Maybe next year.
I finished my year as a 1 year old off with my first date, making Valentine’s and getting a new nanny – my Au Pair Pam!
Stay tuned all week for my birthday party updates!

He’s adorable! Love the pic of him running towards you on the 4th of July. The one with the noodle on his head is funny too. Your commentaries are hilarious, and I must say, the one where he is eyeing the bag of the little kid near the fire-engine, he kind of looks like Uncle Ken’s head and facial expressions.

Happy Birthday, Ben!
Enjoy the lederhosen while you can…you won’t always be able to blame them on your parents.

Oh My Gosh!
I thought the one of him sitting on the kneeling bench in the church of Alex’s wedding is soooo cute. He looked like he got into trouble and is now sitting there with his hands on his lap like a little angel! Happy Birthday and hope to see you all soon!
