Toilet Cleaner

Welcome Back. This is the final week of the POTD and we will start with some wonderful pictures of me “earning my keep” by cleaning up around the house. Last year’s picture shows me as a little baby looking surprised.

Time With Papa

Today’s picture is of me a year ago being “Dope”. Hah! It’s funny how fads fade away. See how silly I looked?

The rest of the pictures are from Nana and Papa’s visit, my hippo wrangling, and Trick-or-Treating. Mostly, there are pictures of me showing Papa how to stay active. Wee.

Fundamentals

These are from the start of my Nana and Poppa’s visit. You can’t really see them, except for Nana in the background of one of the pictures. The picture from last year is from September of 2006. Still couldn’t walk.

And I’m Back

Mary sitting on the carpet looking up at the camera. Hey guys. Sorry I have taken some time off, but I have been visiting family at my Aunt Corinne’s wedding and playing with my Nana and Papa over the last month and I have been terribly busy.

We started this around the beginning of November last year and October 31st seems like a fitting time to end this excitement. I will keep posting pictures but since I am not changing as much I will shoot for around one to two posts a week instead of one picture every workday. With this less grueling schedule of posting you should start to see some more videos instead as well.

To end this escapade I will be posting larger groups of photos with a picture of me from a year ago in a, sort of, grand finale. Today’s post is of older pictures of me at school from late August along with a picture of me from late August last year. Boy I have changed. I couldn’t even walk then.

Squeaker

My Aunt Corinne got me some shoes back when she was “in ‘Nam”. They finally fit and I love them. I’m wearing them to school tomorrow.

I’m also practicing trick-or-treating. Daddy is going to take me this year. Last year I was too young.

Dressy

Dressing up is an adventure with me. I am trying this dress on for size. I like to see if it restricts my ability to run before I purchase.

Hey, mon!

Hey, I’m fitting into Mommy’s clothes now. I’m trying to get her to share her shoes with me but she won’t let me. She says that I can’t walk in heels. I say, “of course I can’t, you won’t let me practice”. Today I am modeling mommy’s Jamaica half t-shirt. It fits me very nicely.
