It’s my turn, Junior… you always get the say.  Bumblebee here.  I promise to type better than I enunciate.

So Squeaker turned 1 on the last day of March, and while we didn’t have a birthday party at home, we had one for her and one of our cousins at the cousins’ house.  That worked out well, since they have even more toys (and more kids) than we do.

Here are some pictures of Squeaker’s first birthday. 

Squeaker wasn’t sure what to do with the candle. So she just sucked her thumb. What a silly girl, doesn’t she know the two middle fingers taste better? I’ll have to keep working on her.

She got a nice, pretty dress from Grandma and Grandpa M.

She sure liked the cake, though, as you can see in the next picture. Boy, if it had been chocolate she’d look like she was in need of a shave by this point.

The following pictures are from January, but Mom said we should stick them in here because they’re just so cute.  I happen to agree, though I think those pj’s looked better on me the previous Winter. 

The first picture she was caught off guard, but by the second picture Daddy made her laugh.

Here’s a video of Squeaker refusing to say “dada” and another of her after making a mess with the junk mail.  To be fair, Daddy left all the throw-away mail on the floor so Junior and I could throw it away for him, but Squeaker spread it out and crawled around in it before we could do our chore.

Here are some dress-up pictures we took at our friends’ house.  They have all sorts of fun outfits for kids to wear.  I was a cowgirl and Junior was a soldier.  Squeaker wanted to be a soldier too, but she only got as far as the hat before she giggled herself into goofiness.

Here’s a video of Junior and me reading together on the big chair, and Squeaker throwing a small fit.  Mom says she won’t be upset if you don’t watch all 4 minutes… but I think it’s worth your time.

Junior and I got a ride in Grandpa C’s wagon.  We LOVE to ride in his wagon!

And now for a picture of Moi!  I decided to try on Mr. Potato Head’s glasses at Grandma M’s.  They were a little snug.

And more of me… here I am eating a cupcake… or rather wearing a cupcake. 

And another video of Squeaker, walking with a push toy.  This was just a couple short weeks before she started walking on her own, which she did at the same age I was when I started walking – 14 months.

Here is an older picture, probably from January or February, followed by a picture of Squeaker from May.  Mom says that May picture looks just like one of her baby pictures.

And finally for Easter pictures.  We’re almost done with this post, which is good because I need to go brush my hair.

Here is Squeaker trying to take the large Easter basket Uncle Bill sent us.  Then there is the whole family on Easter Sunday… we kids weren’t cooperating for the picture, no surprise.

And lastly here is a video of our Easter Egg hunt, or part of it.

Well, thanks for paying attention to me – Junior is not always as considerate.  Maybe sometime we’ll let Squeaker be the emcee.  Mom says don’t expect another blog update (unless a miracle happens and she finds time to blog about our Summer by the end of August) until after baby #4 arrives, which will be most likely mid-September.  We’ll get back to you with cute baby pictures and videos, hopefully before October.  That’s all for now.  Bumblebee signing off.  Love you all!
