Getting Ready For The Big 0-1!

Sunday is the big day! I'm so excited to be turning 1!! Of course it makes mom kinda sad that I'm growing up so quickly, but I tell her it just means that I'll be able to do more cool, big kid stuff with her (this always cheers her up). Mom and dad are throwing me a big party on Sunday and I can't wait to see all my friends! It's going to be a dinosaur-themed party with lots of cool dinosaur stuff like an archaeological dig and a cake with a volcano on it. We're supposed to have really nice weather that day so it will be fun if we get to play outside. I can't wait!

To help pass the time until my birthday, I took up climbing yesterday. My favorite thing to climb is Emma's chair in the living room. I can totally see why she likes spending so much time up there, you can see so much from that height! I also like to climb on my wagon so I can reach the top shelves of the baker's rack in the family room. And it's super easy to climb onto the couch in the family room. The best part is that I can get to Emma anytime I want to! Mom has been trying to help me be more gentle to her, but I just get so excited when I see her that all I can do is flail my arms and hit her or grab a chunk of her skin. I'm just glad she's so tolerant of me. Hopefully I'll learn how to be gentle soon!
