Spent a ton of qt with my mom, dad and my pup Sydney this weekend. Holiday weekends are the best! Here we are at the park and at home having fun.

Today was the first day of college football season….a pretty huge deal at my house. Lots of yelling and costume changes for me to make sure I’m being supportive of both sides. I expect to see my mommy, grandma, grandpa and derma pulling their hair out lots this year because of Michigan’s new coach. They lost the opener today — but let’s face it — nothing is as bad as last year’s opening loss so i think they’ll be ok.

As for my daddy and that side of the family……..game’s not over yet. Maybe this will be the year for the Spartys??

What did you guys ever do before the blackberry???

Every night before I go to sleep i have to give my brother a little pat to say good night little buddy…

I took some pics of the belly the other day without realizing I had taken pictures on almost the same day last year with Jack. Pretty darn similar i’d say. I keep waiting for Punxsutawney Phil to show up…

This past weekend I went to another 1st birthday party….I guess you can say I’m on the circuit. This one was for my friend John Michael who I met at a baby group here in Stamford when we were only a few months old. His bday party was so much fun! There were tons of kids my age and we all did a music class together, which I’ve never done before. I was 100% completely mesmerized by the music lady jumping around singing songs, playing drums and making noise. There was even a parachute! OH and my mom let me have a cupcake with tons of frosting too. What a day!

John Michael – the birthday boy!

I LOVE MUSIC CLASS!

My first cupcake experience – in training for my birthday….

Here I am modeling some Olympic gear my daddy picked up when he was in Beijing a couple of months ago. Wasn’t sure what to make of the scary firehead doll at first but she and I are cool now. Good luck to all of our athletes over there.

AJ, my next door neighbor, turned 1 this weekend. Happy Birthday buddy!! Here we are at his party. Thanks for the cool bubbles and the Cheerios. Yum!
