Hey everyone, long time no chat. I've been having a blast since Daddy and I last sat down to post on here two month ago. Where do I start? Oh yeah, I CAN WALK NOW!!! I surprised Mommy and Daddy last week when I started walking on August 17th at daycare. Now it is so much easier to get around the house and to play with my new friends at my new daycare. I'm at a great new place called Starchild Academy that is a lot of fun. Miss Monica and everyone is very nice to me and they even have a webcam in my classroom so Mommy and Daddy can watch me from work. If you want to peek in, email Daddy and he'll tell you how to do it.

This picture of me is from my trip to San Diego. Daddy had a conference the first week of July so he took me and Mommy with him. We got to visit my cousin Andrew and my Aunt Carley out there and we even went to a Padres game to boo Barry Bonds. The fans sure do hate that guy there. While Daddy was working, Mommy and I spent time at the pool or walking along the waterfront.

I also had my very first birthday party. All of my friends came over such as Nicholas, Bella, Mia, Finn, Alex, Armando, John, Kevin, Diana, Rachel, and Dylan. I got so many cool presents that my whole bedroom is filled up.

If you go over to Flickr you can see some great pictures of me over the last month.

As soon as Daddy buys something called a firewire cable he'll put the video up of me walking.

That's all for now. I'll get on Daddy to do this more frequently now that he won't be traveling as much the next few months. The next time he travels is when all of us go up to Virginia to see Daddy's cousin Liane get married. I'll get to meet a bunch of people up there for the first time like my Great Grandma Marucci! I can't wait!
