A New Way to Play

So I've had my exersaucer for a few months now. I've sat in it in the kitchen. I've sat in it in the living room. I've tried without success to get every part of the exersaucer in my mouth at one point or another. Today I broke through the typical exersaucer routine and found a new way to play...I play IN the exersaucer...I mean IN it, like between the top and bottom like I'm an exersaucer sandwich. I throw my rings in the bottom then I have to climb in there to retrieve them. While in the exersaucer, I can even spin the toys and still make all kinds of noise. It's great. Everyone should try it. Check me out...

Playdate

Mommy and I went on a date...a playdate! We had a great time with Braeden, Mary, Tanner, and Riley. Here are some pictures. Mary was the star of the show. Riley had to leave early for a nap so that left Mary with us three boys. She wasn't sure what to do so she just sat in her pink seat and watched like a princess. She is a princess (a pretty one at that).

Vacation Without Me?

Below is an album of some pictures of a vacation to Breckenridge...if you're expecting to see pictures of me, you won't find them here. Mommy & daddy went on vacation without me. I must say I had a blast without them...I was spoiled for about 6 days by my Nana & Papa. I even got to stay in my jammies with Papa one day and do nothing but watch Bass Masters. What a life! I'm just glad mommy & daddy both made it home without any broken bones...I was a little worried since it was daddy's first time skiing. Mommy said she was easy on him and didn't take him on any tree trails. I did hear daddy talking about taking me skiing. He says that I'll have to wait until I'm 3 so I can go to ski school. I can't wait!

Happy 3/4 Birthday & Anniversary

I'm officially 3/4 of 1 year old...or 9 months. I was so excited when I saw mommy and daddy getting all dressed up and talking about going to eat some really good food. I was thinking "Yippee...we're going out!" I started getting a little suspicious when they didn't get me all dressed up. Little did I know mommy and daddy weren't going out to celebrate my 3/4 birthday, they were going out to celebrate their anniversary. That's ok, they had a better evening planned for me. I was staying in for the night...with Josie! I love Josie (she's my babysitter). The minute she walked in, I forgot all about going out with mommy & daddy and decided to come alive to play with Josie. Life is good. What a great 3/4 of a year old birthday I had. I think mommy & daddy had a pretty good 4th anniversary too.


Here's me & Josie.


This is where mommy & daddy went. They said the chef cooked the food on the table. I bet he makes a bigger mess than I do when I eat.


Happy Anniversary Mommy & Daddy

It's Chilly

Mommy and daddy both had to be at church this morning so we bundled up and headed out. There weren't that many people there because of the rough weather.

Oh Baby it's COLD Outside

We ventured out this morning (daddy and I went to the mall while mommy was at Mrs. Lena's baby shower) but we're staying in now until this cold weather passes. Just me, mommy, and daddy...playing all day long...this cold weather is FUN!

Dada

Here's the link to a video of me speaking. I can go on for hours just saying, "Dada, dada, dada, dada." It's a fun game to see who can be louder, me or daddy.

Tonight was not the Knight

I thought it was any typical night. We were at dinner with Uncle Marc & Aunt Kathy...I was in my bucket enjoying a bottle, mommy & daddy were watching the clock. When dinner was finished, we said good-bye and loaded up in the car to go back to Great Grandmother's to get me to bed...afterall it was 7pm. Boy was I wrong...we didn't go home....we went to a Basketball Game!!!! Not just any basketball game though, daddy said that this game was going to be history making....Bobby Knight was going to get his 880th win so we had to be there. I didn't really care about all that record breaking stuff, I was getting to stay up past my bedtime...this was GREAT!

By the end of the half, I just couldn't take it anymore. I knew tonight was not the Knight so I put my head down and closed my eyes to dream of the day I would come to Tech not to watch a game but to play in a game!

To Bobby Knight I say: "I'll be watching from home on Monday surrounded by my Tech stuff and cheering for you to get that win! Oh, and one more thing, please remember this face because in 18 years, you'll be seeing me there!"

I Got My Wheels

Nana & Papa got me some wheels!

Watch out ladies, now that I have my wheels, there's no stopping me.

(that's my new thing...sticking my tounge out all the time....you should try it)

Gotta keep the wheels polished. You never know when you'll need them lookin' sharp.

Oh Christmas Tree

Mommy has had the Christmas tree up for a few weeks now. She even has presents under it. Everytime I've tried to get over there and look at the presents, I've been pulled back and told that those presents aren't for me to unwrap. Finally, Nana & Papa showed up this weekend with some presents for me. I sure did have fun playing with the tissue paper...nevermind the present, I liked the tissue paper.

Check out the pictures. I thought I could get away with getting my mouth on the tree before mommy had a chance to put the camera down and get me. As it turns out, I was right!

Sure, I'll pose in front of the tree for a nice picture....

I'll even sit still long enough for you to get a close-up of me. Don't mind my hand, I'm just stretching.....

Yep, just stretching. Nothing to see here.

Oh look....my hand happened to hit the tree. Hummm.

Tree in the mouth...I got it and had you fooled the whole time!

Christmas Pictures

Before Thanksgiving, mommy made me and daddy get dressed up and go get our picture made together. She was surprised how happy daddy and I both were through the whole thing. I didn't cry once and posed each time the man snapped his fingers. Below are some of the pictures.

It's been a busy few weeks. First we went to my Nana & Papa's house for Thanksgiving. I got to see my Uncle Marc & Aunt Kathy, Uncle Chris & Aunt Melissa, and cousins Caleb & Madison. Caleb & Madison are the best. They showed me how to play with my toys and kept me entertained while mommy & daddy did other things. While there, I even had my first trip to Santa's workshop. There were so many lights to see. I enjoyed all the lights except the ones that said "Whoop". I cried through that part of the drive. Daddy said that it was obvious we were in Aggie country. After the lights, things got even better because I got to see Santa. Mommy was worried I would be scared of Santa like she was but I wasn't. It was great because I really love pulling hair right now and he had tons of it on his face. I was in HEAVEN.

The second half of the past two weeks hasn't been as much fun. Mommy & I both got sick. We both had to go to the doctor and we're both doing all kinds of things to get better. I think we're doing good now. I never let it stop me though. I kept working on my words (I say Bah and occasionally Ma or Da)...working on my scooting (I can army crawl with the best of them)...and jumping like crazy in my bouncer.

Enough with the talk, on with the pictures....(there's not one with me & Santa, it's on the fridge at our house)

Just Sitting Around

Look at me. I'm sitting up without mommy holding me.

Here I am again, in my bed, sitting tall.

Here It Is....

Here's my new home!

This is the front. Mommy said that the nice man who sold us the house paid to have the sidewalk fixed. She hopes the city will come and fix it before I'm big enough to ride a tricycle. I'm ok with it the way it is. It looks like a fun ramp to go up and down.

That's me and daddy in the backyard. Look at all the great grass I'll have to play on. Too bad it's been so cold and windy. I haven't had a chance to explore anything out there yet.

Here's my daddy's favorite part...the shed & hot tub. Daddy thinks the shed is his little hide out. I think that when I get a little older, it is going to make a great fort for me & my friends!

I have a new room!

I know it's been a long time since I've updated my blog. It's not my fault, my mommy & daddy decided that we needed to move into a new house. All I know is I have my bed and my toys and a lot more new space to get into trouble. I kept hearing daddy say that next time we move, I'm going to have to help carry furniture. Hmmm, how do I keep mommy & daddy from moving again? I'm in no mood to carry furniture. Maybe they'll stay put until I get to college so I can say that I've got to study and can't help.

Move me all you want, I have my bottle and remote control, I'm good to go!

Trick or Treat

Mommy & a monkey

Surprise! I'm the monkey. Hee hee hee

You know most people say I look just like daddy. By looking at this picture, I'd have to say they're right!

I'm a Monkey

Tonight mommy & daddy got me all dressed up and we went to the church's Fall Festival.

Here I am...I'm the monkey in the middle. I think mommy and daddy are monkeys too, they just didn't dress up.

This is my bud Caden with his mommy. He was Tigger.

Here's my other bud, Braeden, with his mommy & daddy. Braeden loves frogs so he dressed up as one.

All of us boys got together and decided that our mommies were crazy for making us wear these goofy & hot costumes but we just went along with it. We know that if we keep mommy happy, our little baby lives will be much more comfortable. Besides, after we got the pictures taken, our dads helped us shed the costumes. Daddy always comes to the rescue (well, except for the time he went crazy with the rings, I already told you about that). I'm a little worried, though.....I heard mommy talking of another festival that we might be going to in a few nights. Does that mean I have to wear my monkey suit again?

Hello Puppy

At night before bed, mommy has been reading me a book that has animals for me to feel. One of my favorite animals in the book is the puppy. I love feeling the puppy. Today I had a new experience with a puppy. Nana's puppy Andy came to Pa & Gran's house. I thought, "Hey he looks like the puppy in my book" so you know what I did, I pet him like I do the puppy in the book. Funny thing is, the puppy in the book doesn't do anything when I pet him but Andy showed me his teeth. Good thing mommy was right there. She said we'd have to practice being gentle before we see Andy again.

My Speech to the Baby World

When I got home from visiting family today, I had lots to say. I was quiet all day but I just couldn't hold it in any longer. To all my baby friends out there, I know you'll understand what I'm saying. To you adults, let me just tell you that we babies communicate a lot more than you think we do.

Fun with Daddy

When mommy works, it's just me & daddy. Today mommy started her new job so daddy and I decided to have some fun and take some pictures to show mommy when she got home. When daddy said we'd take some pictures, I thought I'd just smile and look cute like always...little did I know daddy had something else up his sleeve. I was playing with my new toy when all of the sudden, one ring went on one arm, another ring went on my other arm, and a ring ended up on my head. Look at me.


Man, it's fun to spend the day with daddy. I wonder what we'll do tomorrow? Mommy hopes that we keep taking pictures but I think some things we'll have to keep just between me and daddy.
