Baby Pictures
This is a picture of Mama when she was about my age. I've been told that from the nose down, we look alike.

This is me riding around with my beetle... well, not quite yet, but at least I've found the steering wheel.
Mama has these giant cups of coffee for breakfast. Waaaay too big, if you ask me. No wonder she needs my help.

Just having fun!
Well, now that my cold has cleared up again, I'm back to my sweet self again. Mama got these baskets on sale and thought it would be a good idea to use them for my toys. I can reach them a lot easier than when they are in that big plastic box. And I can also get on top of them much better.
Mama got me some size 12 months clothes for the "winter" here in South Carolina. She says it won't get all that cold. I love my new cardigan.
We went to a second hand store with Kathi and her Mama and their neighbors. This is Jamie in the pictures. She's 3 already, so she's a big girl. We browsed through the toys while our Mamas got us more clothes.
Afterwards we went back to Kathi's and played with Mama's shoes. Mama said she can't see the point in getting me any more toys, cause we end up playing with shoes, coasters, wrapping paper and AC adaptors.
On a happy note, Uncle Josh and Auntie Christen are coming to see me in a few weeks time. I CANNOT wait :) ! Only sad thing is, Aidan won't be with them.

My Morning Excursions
In the morning, Mama and I go for walks around the neighborhood and to the park. She says that if we want to get out we have to do it early - before it gets too hot and sticky. At the park we sit on the swings. That's a lot of fun.
Mama took this picture on one of our walks a few days ago. Isn't it pretty?
When I had my cold, I fell asleep in the stroller like this. I don't know why Mama thinks this is funny. Oh, by the way, I'm only wearing that beany, cause I don't want to have mosquitos sting me in the head. I have no hair, remember?
This is me, wearing my Ralph Lauren designer dress. I got it from Gramma. I love it.

Hanging out... and getting sick :(
I love to hang out with Daddy and Nermal. This is us watching another superb episode of Baby Einstein.
Daddy obviously needs some lessons in picture taking. He didn't even get my whole head in the picture, or am I just too close?
On Saturday night, after Mama had put me to bed, I woke up cause I had a stuffy nose and a head the size of a watermelon. Mama tried to calm me back to sleep, but I didn't think too much of that idea. We stayed up till almost midnight and then slept in Mama's bed... or at least I did. On Sunday Mama kept measuring my temperature. She said it was almost 103F and that that's quite a lot. She got concerned cause I kept pulling on my ears, so she took me to the pediatrician yesterday. Of course I don't have an ear infection, Mama, didn't you know I also teeth? Anyway, I still have a runny nose, but at least I'm not the only one anymore. Mama and Daddy don't look so hot lately either and they use a loooot of tissues (I don't like to use those, I think they suck. Mama's shirt is better for wiping my nose on.)

Jump Castle Meetup
Mama and I are in a meetup.com group and we met a bunch of other Mamas and their babies at an indoor jumpcastle place. Mama said that I'm too small to bounce around on the castles, but I have discovered my love for balls and running after them. Mama says I'll be a great soccer star, once I can walk by myself... but first I'll learn how to run.
When I was done chasing the ball, I crashed in my carseat.

Playdate with Chloe
Last week, Mama and I went over to my friend's Chloe and her Mama Sevtap. Chloe is already 1 year old and can wallk and do all sorts of things that I cannot do. But she's teaching me... first lesson was 'how to climb stairs'. And then Chloe's Mama taught me, that 'no' means 'hayýr' in Turkish. Chloe's Turkish name is Elif, and her Mama is teaching her how to speak Turkish like my Mama is teaching me German.
Chloe loved my Fisher Price puppy. He knows German, too.

My new Partners in Crime
Mama and I had breakfast with my new friends, Katharina and Jacob... oh, and their Mamas Simone and Christina and Miss Gaby. They all speak German, just like me. Jacob is pretty little still, so he mostly hung out in his car seat or his Mamas lap. But Kathi and I, we had a lot to talk about and do. She helped me catch the cat. Then she showed me how to pull on the blinds. Kathi will be 1 year old on Friday and we're going to her birthday party. She's a big girl already. I wonder how much more she can teach me. Anyway, Mama and I had a really good time.

My Busy Little Life
I told Mama she can eat her strained chicken dinner herself. I show her "nein-nein-nein-nein-nein" when she comes to close to me with the spoon... not always though (cereals and fruit are exempt from headshaking). Mama got the hint and gave me chicken and asparagus heads - only the best for me - and about 2/3 of lunch did not end in my lap.
I went over to see Miles. On the way there Mama got an on-base speeding ticket (won't have an effect on her driving record, she says). So it took us even longer to get to Miles and by the end of it I got reeeaaally impatient. I missed Miles. Hopefully his Daddy will get orders to stay in Goose Creek with us.
Nermal and I play tag a lot. I just don't like it when he cheats and climbs on the fridge. I'll get him anyway... one day when he expects it the least... heeheehee.
Mama says that the sleep schedule I was on before we went to Germany has completely disappeared... what can I say... I can sleep when I'm dead, there's so much to see and do. Now she's following the instructions from some stupid book and puts me into my crib and leaves me ALL BY MYSELF at 9 and at 1 for an hour each. Maybe she has cotton balls in her ears, cause she doesn't come back when I scream. This is sooo mean of her. And screaming is so exhausting, I just have to crash out.

Woohoo, I'm home!
After a long and exhausting bunch of flights Mama and I are back in South Carolina. It's so hot here, you wouldn't believe. I had been quite enjoying the 60 degrees and rain back in Germany :( Yesterday it was a bit cooler during the day though cause tropical storm Ernesto was passing by. It rained a loooot and Mama and I got wet when we went to our breastfeeding support group meeting. It was only four of us. I loved seeing my friend Benjamin again. He's grown a lot of hair which I dug my hands into a bunch of times. Mama kept saying "Anna, nein!". I don't know what she wanted, Benjamin was fine with it. I sure can't wait to see my other buds again :)When we got back, my very own car was waiting in the driveway for me.
And Daddy had spiced up my baby food supply a bit. I've never had Jalapenos, I'm curious.
That flight made me so tired, I passed out in my Johnny. Daddy said he thought I was dead when he found me like this. Hehe.
