Hiking around the house

Birthday Party!

Laura's birthday party was a lot of fun. She enjoyed the cake, and maybe even some frosting.

Mmm cake!


No more cake? What happened?


More paper! What a great present!


The toys are ok too.


I love my chair! I'm a big girl.

Happy Birthday Laura!

Laura is 1 year old... pretty much right at this minute!

Laura, Emily, and I would like to thank everyone for the support and good wishes over the past year. It has been a lot of fun, and we're glad you can keep up with Laura on the blog.

Hello Everyone, I am 1!


Curly golden locks - the miracle of genetics.



1 Year ago this minute!

Here you are auntie Mandi

Auntie Mandi wants to teach Laura to dump her birthday cake on her head (like she did to a certain brother about 30 years ago), so she gave us some homework.

here you go!

Active Girl

Laura gets more active every day, and she's looking forward to her FIRST birthday.

Hio grandma Becky (and grandpa Bud), thanks for visiting so mommy and daddy could go out!


Peek a boo! I see you!


YUM! I love cheese pizza!!! Give me MORE!


Touchdown!


Man, all the playin' and pizza makes me tired!

Let It Snow!

Let's get out of here! That 'snow' stuff looks fun!

Hey Sophie, lets build a snowcastle!

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

It was cold this morning when Laura went to daycare, so you have to get her bundled up!

I like my hat!


Lets go for a walk daddy.


It's how cold out?


Bring it on! I can take it!

100th Post

This is Laura's 100th post! A good year for Li'l Gillespie blog.

With the weather a little milder, we took Laura out for some romping around in the yard.

Thanks for taking me outside, this is fun!


Mmmmm, pine fresh.


Watch daddy run!


He's so silly, he's running around the yard!


Playing with Daddy outside, just wait until the first real snow!

Hello? Is Anyone here?

Hello?


You're very quiet, I can barely hear you!


I'm getting a weak signal or somether here.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!

Hi Daddy!


Cruising is fun!


Good morning mommy!


What's going on? Why is the house so clean?

Turkey Week!

Good Morning Daddy! Guess what, I think my 1 year molars are coming in!


Too bad Laura is the only one who likes to play with blocks!


I can stand with the greatest of ease.


I like this walking game. Outta my way daddy!

'Hi' to the camera


The lion roars!


Uh oh!

Baby Steps

Laura is getting really close!

Laura's new trick!

Laura learned how to walk behind her walker! Look out world!

Silly Daddy

Wait a minute! Silly daddy, you know the rules!


Auntie Mandi said I am the boss, and I say daddy can't wear a hat, so why do you insist on wearing a hat? It makes you look like Grandpa G!


Can he ever be trained?


Gimme that!


No squirming!


There we go, much better.

Have a great trip mommy!

Thanks for ready my 'Monster at the end of this book' daddy!


Hit the drum, it's fun!


I'll read this one myself.

Happy Halloween! ROAR!

Laura is a tiger this year for Halloween. Quite fitting since that's been her nickname since she was doing somersaults in her mom's tummy.

Hey Momma, this is cute!


Tiger Claws!


On the prowl!


This is fun.


I'm gotta get you daddy!
