A Cameron-Size Swing

Daddy came home early because it was Halloween. We took a family walk to a park that had swings built just for me.

Grown-up Food

Here I am with Daddy at Iron Hill, our favorite hang-out. Daddy missed seeing me eat grown-up food in Iowa, so he ordered some nachos for me.

Waiting for the Airplane

Waiting for the airplane at MSP. So many emotions. Missing my Minnesota and Iowa folk, excited to see Daddy, chewing on the hat Uncle Dick gave me.

Lurching Forward

I promised Daddy that I wouldn't crawl while I was in Iowa, so here I am lurching forward.

Stats

My weight and height are not as impressive as they used to be, but the doctor thinks that is ok. The doctor suggested that Mommy give me water instead of milk at night since there has been no Ferberization, but I of course knew the difference and cried until the milk was in the mouth. What was Mommy thinking?

Do you see how big my head is? It is chocked full o' brains!

How Did This Get In My Mouth?

Trying to Crawl

Yard Work

Today Mommy brought my high chair outside so I could watch her and Daddy do yard work. What fun.

Overdressed

Mommy, it is 63 degrees outside.

Diaper Model

Here I am modeling one of my new SposoEasy cloth diapers in Chocolate. The little piece of paper sticking out the top is to catch my poo so Mommy can put it in the toilet. Isn't that interesting?

Here I am - always happy.

Aren't I starting to look like a little boy?

I'm a Swinger

On our family walk this evening we found a little park. Daddy thought it was time for me to swing...on a swing, not with other people's wives. Take a look at my shirt. It says "The best thing since sliced bread," and there is a patch that looks likes a piece of bread on it. Isn't that cute? Grandpa Dan says I am the best thing since sliced bread, so I think the shirt is quite appropriate.

I'm not quite sure what is going on yet.

Higher Daddy, higher!

Wow, that was fun.

On My Knees

Look! I can get up on my knees. You know what comes next... (If you don't, the answer is "crawling").

Hungry

This is what I look like when I am hungry. It isn't pretty.

Out & About

What a day I had! As soon as I awoke from first nap Mommy grabbed me and threw me in the carseat to go to storytime at the Malvern library. I really enjoyed listening to songs and looking at the other kids. Afterward, we lunched with Daddy at Barnes and Noble, then Mommy and I went clothes shopping with my Baby Gap credit! We bought the below outfit in orange, light blue, brown and green. I don't do well with pant/shirt ensembles. I am a onsie type of guy.

The Flea Market

Saturday, 7 am. In my carseat with more clothes than I have ever had on before. Ready for the flea market.

The flea market was not as exciting as I thought it would be.

Daddy providing some entertainment.

Daddy and I sportin' the same kicks.

This Cup Makes Me SO Angry!

I Like to Hold My Feet when I Eat

Walkin'

We don't even bother taking the car to the brewery anymore, we just walk.

MILESTONE - Sleeping Through the Night

Today I turned 5-months old,
sat in a high chair,
slept with a toy in my crib,
ate carrots,
AND slept over 8 hours without eating.
I rock.

Shoulders

Look at me! I am on Daddy's shoulders - and I am drooling and trying to twist-off his head.
