It's Fair Time

Okay, so have you ever had these things called "smoothies"??? Oh man are they good!!! My (Great) Aunt Sue let me have a taste of hers and that one taste just made me want more and more! The only way they would give me more is if I started crying when they took it away - so guess what I did!? :) Let's see, I got to eat some french fries, baked chicken, applesauce, and yeah, and ice cream too!!!



I got to see lots of animals at the fair too. Like pigs, cows, horses, ducks, and goats. I also got to visit a baby pettting zoo where there was a kangaroo, sloth, cougar, and lemurs. I think my favorite was the goats - they look my doggy Higgins! All I wanted to do was pet them.

I got to go on my first carousel ride too! Yeah, I'm not so crazy about this thing, all it does is go up and down and round and round.... big deal. I got pretty bored with it by the time it was over.

Oh - I also got to go "duck" hunting. It was way more fun for me to just splash around in the water!

It's Just Monkey Love

I sure do love my monkey Mumma bought me - his name is Humphrey and he is bigger than I am!!

Hey Mom... Look What I Can Do!

I can climb up stairs and pull myself up on just about anything!

Labor Day Weekend

I went to the lake again!!! Yippie! Boy do I have fun there!! I got to see a lot of my family and got to try a lot of new food (thanks Grammy) like potato chips, orange jello, and watermelon. I think the potato chips were my favorite. My cousin Nicholas read me some books, and we all know how much I LOVE books! It was too cold to go swimming, well that's what my Mumma says anyway, I didn't think so, but she won and I couldn't go.... bummer. I did get to go for a nice tooner (that's what everyone calls a pontoon ride) and it put me right to sleep. I sure do hate wearing that stupid life jacket, but Mumma always says, safety first! I got spoiled rotten by my Grammy and Great Grandmas. That doesn't bother me one bit!!!

What's New with Me!

Oh boy, let's see what's new with me.... Well, you know that I am mobile now, but now I can get up onto all fours. I haven't actually tried to go anywhere when I'm on all fours, but one day soon I will. It's still much eaiser to do my commando crawl! I can also pull myself up into a standing position. I am still trying to understand Mumma and Daddy when they talk to me but I just can't say the words, but boy do I try. I recognize a lot of words like, doggy, kitty (that one is my favorite), hammer, clock, light, and fan. Oh, and I forgot to tell you that I'm really trying to wave to everyone (and thing!) too.

Daddy is sooo funny.....

It's Hammer Time

Mumma doesn't realize how many words I'm starting to understand...... Let's see, what was that one word she used the other day...???? "Oh sh*t" was it!? :)

Tractors, Goats, and People.... Oh My!

I went to the fair!!! Oh my was there sooo much to see!!! I saw baby chicks, cows, horseys, goats (which they look a lot like my doggy Higgins, so I just wanted to pet it), lots of people, and really big tractors! Uncle Ben took me for a Superman ride through the air, boy was that fun. Mumma and Aunt Wendy let me taste some of their sno cones, yuuhhmmmy! It was super fun, but a long day for me though....

Going where no baby has gone before....

Wow - my house is huge! There's so much more to my house than just this one little room where I spend a lot of time playing with my toys. So the other day I decided I needed a change of scenery so I hit the road! Well, actually, I just started crawling around the house to different rooms. There is this different kind of floor that when you take a toy and smack it on the floor it makes a really loud BANG! Man is that kewl! I just love to take my ball and knock it on that floor! Mumma says "no no", whatever THAT means!




I can get myself into some pretty tight spots if Mumma turns her head for just a minute! See....

Stroller Strides

Every week I go to pump iron with Mumma. Well, I really just sit in my stroller and enjoy a nice walk, but Mumma works hard. Once a week we go to an exercise class called Stroller Strides with my buddy Mason and his Mumma Mindy. Mason is my neighbor and best buddy, I'm sure you have heard me talk about him before. He is three months younger than I am, but you can't tell by looking at him! ...he sure does likes his Sweet Potatoes!




Sometimes after class we get to have play time with lots of toys and other kids too - that's sooo much fun! I don't know why they always bring all these fancy toys though, all I need is an empty water bottle and I'm happy!

Look Out Here I Come!

I finally figured out how to get around my house (and get into a lot of things that I shouldn't). I kinda do a bit of a commando move for now, but hey, whatever works! My Mumma and Daddy were pretty excited about me moving around, but let's just see how that changes over the next couple of weeks!

Life's A Beach

Ahhhh.... this is the life. Layin out on the beach soakin up some rays, knockin back some milk .... Well okay, not really, but I sure did have fun with Aunt Wendy and Uncle Ben when they took me to Lake Michigan! Boy are those waves big!!! I was a little scared at first, but I got over that quick and had a good time swimming! .....and that stuff called sand... WOW! It was really hard to hold onto! :)

My Days and Nights

I spend alot of my days playing with my toys and Mummas toys (like the phone and computer). I don't get the phone though, because I can hear people that I know talk, but I can't see them? Where are they!? Mumma says I'm gonna grow up to be a computer geek like Daddy - which must be a really kewl thing to be if that's what my Daddy is!!

Bubbles, Bubbles, Bubbles

Have you seen these things? They are so kewl! I could never catch one though...

Frosty-licious!

Mmmm Mmmm! Now everyone knows what a fussy eater I am, but gimme a Frosty, and watch it disappear! Daddy gave me a few bites the other day and yyuuhhhmmmmeeee! It was kinda weird at first because this stuff is really cold - and I'm not used to that. But I got over that pretty quick! I got mad when he eat it all for himself and wouldn't share with me. ....Why do these people continue to feed me peas and prunes when there's Frostys!?

I'm 9 Months Old!

Boy, have I been busy lately. I got to see my cousin Kate, Uncle Eric & Aunt Jen, my Nana and Grandpa James, Great Grandmas and Grandpa, and Great Uncle Rick and Aunt Carla, Great Uncle Tim and Aunt Becki.... (at Kates Baptism) a couple of weeks ago. It sure was hot that day - but I didn't really care becuase I slept the entire car ride there and back home.

Oh, and I had my 9 month pictures taken. I think it's so funny when that lady with the camera makes funny noises at me - I just laugh and laugh. I'll show you some pictures once they come in.

Mumma feeds me lots of apples, but it doesn't seem to keep that mean doctor away. Well, it's not actually the doctor that's mean - he gave me a book (and we all know that I LOVE books), it's those mean nurses. They poked me two more times at my 9 month check up. I'm a pretty big boy though - I only cry (well more like scream) when they give me the poke, then Mumma picks me up and I'm all better. I am 28" long and weighed 18.4 pounds, which puts me in the 25% percentile for height and 10-15% percentile for weight. I guess I'm just gonna be a short skinny kid.

I'm not quite crawling yet, although I can scoot around on my butt pretty good. I also like to roll and roll and roll! Oh - but I can stand up (with a little help) for a few seconds see...
My Grammy says I'm just going to skip crawling and start walking - then I will really make Mumma and Daddy run after me!

I know my Doggy (Higgins) and my Kitties (Jackson and Pippy). When I see Higgins I say "geee geee" and I just love to play with him. The Kitties are fun too, but they must not like me too well cuz they just run away when I yell at them.

Rub a Dub Dub

Have you seen my new bathtub? It's so much fun! I just don't want to get out. I really like playing with the baby duckies that my Great Grandma Jean got for me. They squirt water and I think that is soooo funny!

Ahhh, this is the life!!

I got a new big boy chair!!! I got too big for my baby bouncy chair so Mumma bought me this new "lazy boy"! Mumma caught me watching my Baby Einstein DVD; I was learning about body parts like head, shoulders, knees and toes! It mad me sad to see the giraffe puppets crying so I cried too, but Mumma said that the giraffes weren't really sad, they were just showing me what "sad" is.
