Christmas!

Then...


And now...

My dad had to work this Christmas, but that didn't stop all the fun! The day before Christmas Eve, we went to see the orchestra and learn about baby Jesus at church, then the next day we went to Nana's Christmas Eve party, then to Waki's on Christmas morning for breakfast, presents, and more food. After that, me and mom went to Dad's work and played and then the next day we all went back to Nana's for more presents and Tamales! It was amazing.

NO FEAR!

Mom and dad took me to this magical place called a PARK and I was overjoyed with things to climb up and slide down!

Merry Christmas!

Here's the official Ptacek Christmas 2009 greeting. Mom said she was too busy to organize family pictures for our cards and and yada, yada, yada, but anyway, I think this is COOL!

My mom's writing about me on another blog!

My mom just told me that she has her own blog about being a mommy! It's called PooGrin and she started it with some of her other mommy friends! I took a sneak peak, and it's pretty, um, insightful...

My Birthday!

Here are some pics from my big day! I was so surprised when I woke up from my nap to find all my friends at my house! There was always something new going on and I had SO MUCH FUN! Thanks to everyone who came and helped make my first birthday so special :)

Bedtime fun!

Wahooo!!! Mom gave me a Mohawk and it transformed me into a CRAZY baby! Here we are playing a bit before bedtime.

Special note for grandmas: Mom put a shirt on me before bed.

Special note for everyone: When I make the face above, I'm not screaming, I'm making a whisper noise... I'm adorable like that.

My first good attempt at crawling...

... and I got into a bunch of stuff!

I'm like a TV star or something ;)

Mom took me to the Human Bean for a fundraiser today and I got caught on camera!

I can do it myself!

My New Helmet!

Here's my new design!!!

I love the beach!

We had lots of fun and I can't wait to go back next year for our annual trip to the US Open of Surfing. Here's my photo album from Huntington Beach 2009!

Here's all us boys playing in the sand. They were trying to build me a shield from the waves!

Here I am taking a nap on the beach :)

Here I am at Newport Beach watching the surfers from the pier while we waited to eat breakfast at Charlies Chile.

Me and dad had fun looking for crabs and stuff at Crystal Cove.

And here I am with mom at Crystal Cove waiting for some waves.

Then I got hungry so we took a bottle break :)

Here I am with WAKI!!!

I LOVED my beach toys!!! Here I am at HB under my umbrella :)

Dad took me wading in the ocean. I liked watching the waves!

Here's me and my family sitting in the sand and watching the waves come in and out. This was my favorite!

And this is what I looked like from the front!

I discovered that I have beach curls!

Waki let me borrow her hat :)

Here I am falling asleep with my daddy while taking a walk along PCH.

While dad went boogie boarding mom gave me a blueberry snack!

And finally, here's some pics of me outside our beach house after my bath!
