A Detailed Account of My New Skill

Here I am practicing my new ability to pull myself up and stand on anything and everything within my reach...

Including the Ottoman...













And my crib, while I yell MAMAMAMAMA (I learned that one from Grandma Judy, which I think is for revenge for my mom doing it to her).












Here's me and daddy having a serious conversation about life.














I was trying to reach my swim diapers to put one on, but mom caught me.















Too bad I am not tall enough to see out the window! that would make things a little more exciting!













I know, a day short of seven months and I am awesome. Sometimes I just crack myself up with how great I am!











Now I can finally reach into my toybox and get the toys that mom hides down in the bottom.













And one last try to get my swim diaper before I get caught. Dang it, she's good!

It's fun to stay at the YMCA...NOT!!!

I had my first experience at the YMCA this week, and I was having no part of that. At first, I did okay so mom took my picture, but as soon as she walked out the door I began wailing. Mom came back and calmed me down, but then she had the nerve to hand me back to these complete strangers!!! Her and daddy kept peeking in, but I am not one to let them have time alone, so I had the daycare call them over the loudspeaker to come pick me up. Who the heck do they think they are?!

Now mom is talking about daycare!!! Ha, I don't think so!

Strollin With the GP's!!!

Here I am getting ready for my walk with Grandma and Grumpa. I was SO excited!

Come on guys, lets go!!!

I got my coffee to try to stay awake, but it wasn't working!

I crashed!!!!

And Grumpa and Grandma laughed at me, and then took me home. Wow, what a day!!!

Veggie and Fruit Puffs, MMMMM

Here I am eating my Veggie and Fruit Puffs. When this was taken, mom was feeding them to me, but as of this morning I can officially feed them to myself! Mom poured a bunch on my highchair table and I ate ALL of them by myself. I know, I really AM amazing!

Grandma, that's MY bib!!!

Grandma stole my bib because she is a bit messier than me! She has been known to start food fights, too! Watch out for the cherries!!!

BITER BISCUITS, WOOOOOO HOOOO!

I love these new things called Biter Biscuits. They taste like cookies, and they make a mess. What a great combination!

A Special Picture for My Girlfriend Jenna

Here is a picture that my mommy took to freak out her buddy Crystal. Crystal is mom's best friend's (Sam's) sister-in-law (whew)! Crystal is a bit of a germ-a-phob, and her new little baby Jenna is very well protected from germs. :) Mom thought Crystal would enjoy a picture of me building up my immune system at the local Chinese Restaurant. Mommy decided to get me a highchair cover after this picture, though. :)

MMMM, Chinese!!!

We all went out to Chinese food, and I ordered a plate, but for some reason no one put it near me!!! I had fun playing in my highchair anyway, though!

Grumpa was there....

Grandma was there....

And Daddy was there, too!!! Mommy was taking the pictures. :)

YAY, TOYS!!!

Grumpa and Grandma really know how to make a visit. They came with toys and clothes and all sorts of fun new stuff. I love my new toys! Thank you!!!

Posing for pics with the oldies

Here I am posing for my pics with my Grumpa and Grandma. This was right after they flew in, and I was wired and ready to play! Mom needs to work on her picture taking skills. The really good one of Grumpa and Grandma isn't centered!!!!

Ring Ring, It's DADDY!!!!

Here I am talking on the phone with daddy!!! He calls me everyday when he is at work, and I love it. I always smile really big when I hear his voice.

Robo-Granny's

What?! So you're telling me that my Grandmas live in the computer???


















Haha, I see Grandma Judy but I don't believe it!!! You guys are just crazy sometimes!














Okay, this is getting a little wierd! I'm outta here!

Where did that sippy go???

Uh oh, where did my sippy cup go? It just disappeared!
















What do you mean it's under my Jumperoo? That's just silly!















Oh man, it IS under my Jumperoo! That crazy sippy cup!

Back off, it's sippy time

Ever since I discovered this wonderful new drink mix called "Juicy Juice" I take my drinking more seriously. This has to be the best drink ever! I tried to order it at a restaurant, but I think it is only served in the five star restaurants, because they didn't have it!

Daddy's New Mullet

Daddy got a "Sherwood Style" haircut at Supercuts, which in English means he got a mullet! He was too embarassed to let mom take a picture, so we got an artist's rendition...

And here is daddy in about ten years...

Self Explanatory

We were eating at Red Robin and I was starting to get a little cranky, so mom pulled out the camera and I put on my best face!

I Like Big Butts

Check out the hiney on this spider that was on mom's car. Holy Moly!!!!

Holy Cow, I'm Standing!!!

Here is yet another milestone that I have hit...

I am standing!!!!! I was crawling one second, and then mom looked over and I had pulled myself up to standing the next second. Then I stood there staring at her before I realized there was stuff in the box that I could terrorize.

Farmer's Market!!!

Here was my first trip to Lake Oswego's Farmer's Market. My parents put my hat on the dorky way, so I got a hold of it and turned it to the side (I really did!)!!! We also took a stroll on the new walking path by the lake. I don't know why my parent's moved away from there, it is so beautiful. They said I was the one who made them broke, but I have to disagree. Grandma Judy and Grumpa told me that they have always been broke!

Baby Einstein = Naptime!!!

Here is my first experience with the Baby Einstein DVDs. I watched them from my highchair and fell asleep within five minutes! My daddy fell asleep within ten minutes, and my mommy held out and made it through the whole video!
