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.

My First Christmas spent on the Amalfi Coast

Hi everyone! This photo would have been on our family Christmas card this year but Mom just didn't have time. Instead we decided to go to the Amalfi coast and see more of italy before we move.

Here we are at the end of the trip in Montepulciano, Tuscany. We hope to go back there in Jan.

Here I am on the Ferry boat to the island of Capris. Capris was not what we expected because it is off season but it was neat to go check it out!

I have some more teeth coming in and Dad offered me part of his carrot. It made for a nice teether and I guess I got some shavings as a snack.

Here we are on the island of Capris!

I got to open up one present on Christmas Eve night in our hotel.

I didn't quite grasp the opening of gifts. I LOVED the ribbons and the neat paper!!

I Love it, thank you!

Yes, Moxie came on the trip too. Unfortunately, Moxie isn't ready after her surgery to stay with anyone yet. She knew exactly what to do with her present!
