DADDY !!!

In the blue shirt, there's Miss Pam, who originally helped us with Mama's and my breastfeeding problem. Couldn't have done it without her.

My very First Birthday Party

In case you haven't noticed, I have turned one year old! And my Annapalooza was on the same day. Boy, did I have a lot of people over to help celebrate. I figgured, I'll never turn one again, so I might as well go large.
This is me in the morning before the party. Mama and Miss Gaby had decorated the living room and rearranged the furniture, I thought I was in the wrong house. When I came downstairs I also found my new scuttle bug trike. It's awesome. I've been pushing it around a lot, but sitting on it doesn't seem so appealing.



This is actually during the party, when Mama helped me unpack my gifts. I keep telling her that we need to read the instructions first, before we can play, but she won't listen. I really like my gifts.

St. Nick was here December 6th

The night of December 6th, St. Nickolaus comes to all German children. Maybe he'll come to other children, too, if they follow the directions. We need to have our boots all cleaned outside our door with our christmas wish list in it before we go to bed. He'll come and take the wish list and fill up your boots with candy or coal, depending on whether we've been naughty or nice. I don't know what he thought of me, cause I got socks and a toy. We also went over to Kathi's house and took some pictures with our silly Santa hats... but that's not a German St. Nick's Day tradition, that's just our parents being weird.

Festival of Lights II

Festival of Lights

Last week, I went to the Festival of Lights on James Island with Kathi and Julien. It was beautiful, but veeery cold... for Charleston anyway. Towards the end my little butt started getting a bit chilly. Of course, Mama was there too, but Daddy had to work :(
We met this funny looking guy with a fluffy white beard called Santa Claus. Santa Claus must be running a pretty tight schedule, cause I've seen him at the mall and at the hospital as well. He kind of scared me at the hospital, though.
Oh yeah, Julien's Mama got us all marshmallows. Kathi just gobbled them up, but I thought they were quite tasty, too. We got back home very late and I was pretty annoyed that I couldn't go to bed any earlier, but then the marshmallows were worth it.

Cypress Gardens

Yesterday, Kathi and me and our Mamas went to Cypress Gardens. We also took our new friend Julien and his Mama along. They both speak French. How cool is that? We really loved it, especially running around by the little wedding gazebo in the middle. I had a BLAST! Other than all the Cypresses you could ever hope for, they also had a butterfly house, an aquarium and a bunch of alligators there. Kathi's Mama almost got eaten. Hope we can do this again some time.
