The Cat's Meow

At Grammy and Grumpa's house there is a cat door that leads to the great back yard. I figured it out right away and showed Moxie how it was done. If the door was open, I was outside. I really miss the cat door. I enjoyed climbing through it a million times a day. When I got to Vegas I had to take pause and look for the door.

Let me show you how it is done Moxie.

That is how it is done. Don't worry, you will fit. I made it a little bigger for you.

Come on girl, it is your turn.

Funny Faces

I love to make funny faces and laugh, laugh, laugh. Mom was laughing aloud posting these! I love to laugh at Dad sneezing and anyone giggling. hee hee hee ha ha ha ha

Beep Beep

Move out of the way Moxie I am coming through!!

Bring on the lemons!

Yum yum, I like lemons rind and all!

Oooo lemons are so much fun!! I like to throw them like balls and Mom says they make good juice and lemoncello! Tasty treats these beautiful yellow balls that I can eat.

We got the dishes for you Mom

I LOVE to play ball

My 4th Haircut

We decided to surprise Dad with a new shorter do. My hair was getting really long!! Eat your heart out ladies!

Here is my new stylist (my Tio) and my cousin Riley

Kitty Cat

One of my new words is "kitty cat". This was Mom's old cat with a new hairdo. I really liked poking her. Here is my camera face!

Hippity Hop

Hey everyone! We are here in Las Vegas just in time for Easter. Here I am looking oh so dapper in my Easter duds. In case you are wondering that is egg on my face. Yum Yum! I loved learning about eating hard boiled eggs.It didn't take me long to get the hang of this egg hunt game. Moxie beat me to all the eggs but Dad made sure she left them alone. It turns out she does have a semi soft mouth. Dogs need to have a soft mouth in order to be good hunting dogs. They need to fetch the duck and not eat it. She fetched the eggs and didn't totally destroy them. A few had tooth holes him them but it didn't slow down the hunt.
Here I am hyped up on sugar.
Is this an Easter Rabbit? It turns out Mom says I have enough stuffed animals for 4 kids so she thought she would get creative. It sure doesn't look cuddly....

My Third Hair Cut

I am going to miss my friend and stylist Miss Suzanne. We really hope to see her while she is in Texas and we are stuck in New Mexico.

I am definitely in the 90th percentile of hair growth! I am one year and one day old and have had three hair cuts already!
Just a litle bit off the sides please.

Major Tim Palmer's aka Dada's Fini Flight in the F16

There is my Dad everyone! This was Dad's last F16 flight and will always be a day to remember. I didn't even cry at the loud noise.

One of Mom's favorite photo's

The whole jet

Here's Daddy

There was a lot of excitement! After Dad got all wet, he got me wet carrying me around. I went to lunch in my tights.

It was a goreous day out and the mountains made a gorgeous back ground! If you have to have a fini flight Aviano is not a shabby place to have it. I really enjoyed looking at those loud airplanes this time.

Sorry for the non flip photo, Mom is looading pictures during my nap and is moving really fast.
Is this a rocket? Dad, don't launch me!! Mom didn't get the shot of Dad taking his hands off me as I sat on this thing because Mom was busy yelling, "Tim, get him off of that!!!" Mom's blood pressure shot up after that but she still managed to let me sit in the cock pit. Got anything I can chew on in here?
The last family F16 photo....

Tasty Morsels

EWE!!!

If Moxie eats it why can't I? Dad thinks this is so funny, Mom thinks it is so gross and Moxie is not sure what to make of it. The minute I hear the kibble hitting the bowl I stop whatever I am doing and hightail it to get a taste. Mom usually beats me to the treat, but of course she wanted the photo op.

Water bug

This is just my height!

This is Moxie's fancy dog bowl. Mom can't wait until it goes away but Moxie and I will be sad. I definitely have the water bug right now. I LOVE to take my shower bath. What is a shower bath you might ask? Well, Mom and Dad don't heat the upstairs right now and we only have a bath upstairs. Dad is nice enough to run the shower with a plug in the drain. It did the job. I will play in water any time I get the chance even Moxie's water bowl will do.
As you can see I am standing! I pull up on to anything possible and most things that are not. The hard part is getting down. Mom has quickly learned if I am standing up on something and talking a lot I am likely trying to say, " Get me down please!". Note the squinty grin .....

I Love The Truck Santa Brought Me.

I can't quite get on the truck myself yet and trying can be hazardous to my head but I am sure enjoying my truck.

This is the face I like to make at Mom now when she wants a photo. I squnit my eyes and give a big grin. Are you lovin" it? When I see the camera pointing at me she gets a second to snap the shot and then I am over it. Oh by the way, this is a grin not a scream.

Carrot Anyone?

This is likely our last trip to the Agriturismo in Budoia, Italy.

At first I did NOT like the horses but they grew on me.

I AM ONE I AM ONE I AM ONE!!!!

I AM ONE YEAR OLD TODAY!!!

In honor of my first birthday, Mom decided to get back on the blog bandwagon!!! This was my 11 month old photo that we never quite got out. I let Mom get her snap and then I hightailed it out of there. I am not loving the Momarazzi (for those of you non celeb gossip readers that is slang for Mom being like the paparazzi taking pictures of me, the baby movie star of course.)Now that I am a crawler I LOVE to climb and be on the go go go. I do not like to sit still....
Here I am enjoying our yard for one of the last times. We had a few nice days. It was sunny but there was a big chill in the air. I really enjoyed the grass and trying to eat everything in it.

Please note due to the month long blog hiatus the next photos may be all out of order. We apologize for the blogging confusion but hope you will enjoy them in any old order! Please check back over the next four days for more photos. After that we will be in route to our homeland, the USA, and will again be on hiatus.
