1 Year Old!!!

Where did the time go!  It went by so fast and I have had a great year.  I celebrated my Birthday a little later this year, so that my Daddy could be home.  So yesterday we had cake and ice cream, and I got to open all of the wonderful gifts from my family and friends.  I had a great time and enjoyed every minute of it.  I was also able to show Daddy my new milestone, yep that's right I am walking.  I have attached a clip of me walking and of my birthday celebration.  While my Daddy is home we are going to get my first hair cut tomorrow and then he is going to take me to see ICE! It will be a great visit.  Thanks again for the wonderful gifts.  I will start writing those thank you's.

11 Month's Old

So much has happened! Uncle Andy came and visited me again, I picked out my first pumpkin, drove out to Kansas City to see my Daddy in a race, went to a birthday party and celebrated my first Halloween. I was an adorable panda bear (mom even made the costume, WOW!). In that time frame I got another tooth. Daddy also came home for four days and we played non-stop, I think I wore him out. He also gave me a great early birthday gift, a push cart that looks like a cow. I love to push it as well as ride in it. It is so much fun!! I have included video's of me carving my pumpkin and pushing my cow cart. ENJOY!

10 Month's Old

Wow, I will be a year old before you know it. Well, this last month has been full of challenges. I have gotten my four upper front teeth (all in the same week), can pull myself up the standing position, and got to see my Aunt Meg, who's visit was great fun!

I recently became the owner of an Elmo tooth brush. So far I am resistant to having Mom try and brush my teeth (don't worry, Mom only uses water), but I love to chew on the other end.

Mom has been giving me different foods to eat lately. I have had lentil soup, broccoli au-gratin, red beans and rice, noodles with peas, asparagus, and artichoke hearts. So far I like them all.

I have mastered pulling myself up as you can see in the video that was taken. I love to bang on the kitchen window and play in Patch's water dish (so much that Mom has had to move the bowl into the laundry room). Pretty soon I will be taking my first step, I can feel it.

9 Months Old

Well, I am fully mobile. I can crawl anywhere and everywhere. Mom has taken some footage for everyone to see. But, that's not all, I am starting to pull myself up to the standing position. I can get as high as my knees with one foot pushing up. Look out!

I love to eat table food. Some of my favorites are raisins, peas, carrots, corn and bagels. Yummy. I even enjoy some yogurt for my snack.

Anyone crawling?

Watch out Everyone, I know how to crawl. It's just a matter of perfecting it!

8 Month's Old

I have been able to see a little bit more of the world since the last time I updated the blog.  My folks and I traveled to Chicago to see Steve and Megan, and get a tour of the windy city.  We had a great time.  I saw (but really I slept through it) my first 4th of July parade, took a trip on my first boat, and enjoyed my first museum. I loved to hear my voice echo through the halls of the building. 

7 Month's Old

Can you believe that it has been seven months.  I have learned so much, I can clap my hands, waive good bye, and shake my head no.  I love school and playing with my friends.  Since I can sit up without any problems, its just a matter of time before I start to crawl.  Daddy took me to the airfield when Uncle Andy was here.  I got to sit in the drivers seat and man the gun.  It was so much fun.  My visit with Uncle Andy  was great!  We played, laughed, and had a great time.  I can't wait to see him again.
