March 12 - First Birthday!

March was a BIG month!


  • I turned ONE and I started walking!!!

  • I went to Mommy's cousin's wedding in Asheville.

  • I got croup (again!) while Grandma was hanging out with me so Mom & Dad could go away (thank you, Grandma!)

  • I went to the U.S. Olympic Trails for curling - have YOU ever seen curling?!? (Long story - don't ask - M&D won't even tell me how we ended up there!).

  • I learned to climb the stairs!


Curling is actually kind of interesting once you learn what's really going on.



But the best part was dancing during timeouts...










In Asheville for Will & Kristi's wedding, I got to hang out with some of Mommy's cousins again.

I (a.k.a Kyle Singler) had a stare off with Gene for a while, but Mommy was too slow with the camera. I put my sock in my mouth and had places to go!





My cousin Sarah had this really awesome Duke Chearleading outfit on....but the bottle she gave me was even MORE cool:)



Sarah and Abby ran up and down the hall of the hotel SOOO much (and I crawled after them just as fast as I could!) that I just crashed!




And then it FINALLY snowed in Denver! Mom and Dad have been talking about this sledding thing ALL winter, but then they finally got to show me what it was all about!

It was fun, but really, really bright outside.

My first birthday party at school! Nate and Hailey have March birthdays, too. We're the very oldest kids in the class now!

It was good to celebrate our birthdays, but sad that our favorite teacher, Corri, moved away:(



And then Hailey made fun of me for being an old man! "Just wait a week, Hailey!"



































It looks like I was salivating for my birthday cake, but I was actually crying because all I wanted was a nap!








But then I finally dove in!



















"Is this what you guys wanted to see?"




"Now may I just PLEEEEZE take a nap????"



Let's try again at home, with our own cake, no audience, no pressure...



Mommy blew the candle out in my face - who likes smoke up their nose?!?! Mommy says we'll try again next year:)

"Ooh, what's this??" Mommy and Daddy tell me that this is supposed to be my favorite present and that I'll learn why very soon:)




I experimented with just the first step one day, looked for permissin to try more, then promptly figured out how to climb the whole staircase! Now I want to climb back down.
