WALKING!

After a week at work Mom, Dad, Oscar and I decided we needed a weekend up at the lake. The whole bunch of us Grandmas, Uncles, Aunties, and Cousins all stayed at the lake for 4 days. On Saturday July 5th I took 10 or so steps and then on Monday July 7th I became what my cousin Carter and Jameson like to call a 'biped'. Now mom and dad chase me everywhere.

Long time no see...

I'm ready for the beach

It has been a long time since I have updated my blog, but it has been a busy 6 weeks. The last week of June when Dad was finishing his last week of school Mom and I came to Dauphin to hang out with all my cousins. Uncle Brad, Auntie Kristin and Cousin Luke and Dean drove all the way up from Phoenix, 35 hours straight, they are nuts. We had a birthday party for all the cousins and everyone had a blast. Mom and I went back to Winnipeg the first week of July because Mom had to go back to work on the 28th of June. That means it's Dad, Oscar, and Me. Wish me luck.

Fathers Day

Dad's cake.

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads, especially my dad.  It was an exciting day here because dad raced in his first Manitoba Half Marathon.  I thought he was best as you can see by my shirt.  After the race we celebrated by having yet another ice cream cake.

1st birthday party!

My birthday dress. (and bruised cheek...bumped it on g-ma's coffee table:(

My sweet cake!

I had my 1st birthday party yesterday!  It was super fun.  Grandma Church, Grandpa Church, Grandma Tenley, Auntie Jen and Mandy, Jacquie, Alyssa, and Dean all came over for the big party.  I had a blast playing with Dean, and all my new toys.  Mom made me an awesome number 1 cake all by herself, and I even ate a little bit.  Thanks to everyone for coming and for all the great gifts.

My Dora Ice Cream Cake!

I think I am hilarious with my new Okiedog.

Loving my purse.

I can't believe that is has been one year already.  My birthday this year was on a Wednesday, and we had a little party.  Alyssa, Dean, and Jacquie came over to play, and brought me a cup cake but I didn't like it too much.  When Dad got home we went shopping for a few things and ended buying me some brand new Crocs with the money Greatgrandpa McDill and Greatgrandma Helen gave me for my bday.  That night Mark and Andy came over with a sweet Dari Queen Ice Cream cake (I think dad was more excited than I was) and a awesome Okiedog toy.  I got my Learning Shoes and Singing purse as a early present the weekend before from Grandma Tenley.  I am obsessed with my new purse.  Thanks Greatgrandpa McDill, Greatgrandma Helen, Mark, Andy, and Grandma Tenley for my gifts

I'm Back!!

Hanging out with my curly hair-do after a tub.

Dad and I sleeping at the Lake.  It was FREEZING!

Me and mom's friend Tamara at the Zoo.

I like Flamingos.

So mom and DAD lost our cord for the camera and we haven't been able to update you all in a while.  It has been a busy few weeks.  Since last time I went to my dad's final band concerts which I loved!! Me and mom went to the zoo!  And I went up to the cabin for one night only because it has been cold and rainy.  Come on sunshine!!!

Walkering

Here is me pushing my walker a couple weeks ago.  I am getting very good at it:)  I can also climb all the stairs and stand all by myself for a few seconds.  Mom is keeping the camera close to hopefully catch my first steps:)

Congratulations Ryan and Claudia

Swimming anyone...

splash my dad....

do the frog kick....

and finally back to splashing dad.

I just returned from my third wedding this year.  We travelled to Red Deer for Mom's cousin Ryan and Claudia's wedding.  I was awesome on the plane ride to Calgary and even fell asleep during one of the worst landings mom and dad have ever been through.  We then jumped in a car with Uncle Jeffy and Auntie Jen and drove to Red Deer.  Everyone was already there and I was super friendly at the rehearsal.  The next day I went for my first swim with dad and loved it.  Can't wait to go again.

The day of the wedding it is was hot and sunny. The wedding ceremony was really nice although I had to leave half way through because I was chatty in church, but no crying.  It was a early night for me as I left after supper for bedtime.  Mom stayed and is still laughing about cousin Michelle and Dane's speech.  On Sunday we packed up and drove back to Calgary where I got to visit Uncle Tannin and check out his new pad.  It was really nice.  Thanks for hanging out with me Uncle Tannin and driving me to the airport :)

Repost

This is a repost of the video from a couple weeks ago.  Uncle Jeff and Auntie Jen took a look at the video today and called back immediately because they think I am saying "Hey look it's Oscar. RUFF!"  I start saying it about the 5 seconds in.  You be the judge

Still Sick

Playing with my friend Dean......

Not feeling well.

Really not feeling well.

Getting better!

It has been a crazy couple of weeks here at the Schmidt house.  I started going to Itsy Bitsy Yoga with Mom.  We get to do funny yoga poses, eat grapes and read books it's awesome.  I also got sick last week and I am starting to feel like myself again.  I got a really stuffy and runny nose, no fun!  I can't sleep very good so the car seat, high chair and on mom seem to be the best places to get some rest.  This weekend is Mother's day and we're heading back to Dauphin to celebrate.
