Max & Allie Diegel: Early Birthdays, potty's, and a little ape

Little Sausage,
Grandma and Grandpa and I (Auntie) came out for a long weekend just to spend time with you! We got in late on Thursday and peaked into your room...and wow we couldn't believe how big you were! Auntie thought you were almost as tall as her.

Friday after your nap you woke up to a big surprise...a Birthday Party! With PRESENTS! Since we were not going to be there for your party, we decided to have a party a few, 6 weeks early. You had so much fun pulling off the paper and were so curious about what was inside.

Here's a picture of you with your party hat on, about 3 seconds before you snapped the elastic and started crying.

Presents! (Notice the hat is gone).

Hmmm...what's in here?

After that, against your mother's wishes, it was cake time! You loved it so much you screamed when it was gone! Which is kind of your thing right now. You also taught us a good lesson...never put sprinkles on a 10 month old's cake...your mom was trying to get sprinkles out of your nose for about 30 minutes after! Opps!

MMM! Where has this been all my life?

Yummy!

You are getting so big you are even starting to sit on the potty! You've been successful a few times. We are all SOOO proud of !

Your magazine of choice was Better Homes and Gardens! You enjoyed the pictures of the doggies. Which there was surprisingly a lot of.

You always preserving your modesty!

On Saturday we went outside and ran you up and down the drive way. You LOVED your little push car. You're such a little dare devil already!

You stopped to pose with auntie, but just for a minute.

Once we were done, I wanted you to pose for a few pictures with the pumpkins...unfortunately you were not very happy with me that I took you off your car!
Here's one of you 'posing' for me...

Since we also would not be there to see you in your Halloween costume, we dressed you up early, and this time we were a little more successful at posing on the front porch!
