Train

Aunt Karen and Daddy set-up the train tracks for me, but I just wanted to put things in my mouth - what a surprise!

...But We Love Each Other

Mommy and I know we are totally dirty and gross, but we love each other.

The Globe

Hey Daddy, whose globe is this anyway?

Watch out world!

I'm going to lick you!

My Favorite Sleeping Spot

Daddy's chest has been my favorite sleeping spot ever since I can remember. It doesn't look like he minds, does it?

Santa Was Here

Santa was here and he left presents for me!











He gave me a tree branch.










And some shiny garland.












And what the hell? Is this some kind of joke? I can see and touch the toy, but I can't get it out of the box and into my mouth.










Daddy took the toy out of the box for me. Santa could learn a thing or two from Daddy. Anyway, the toy was a tasty car, which is now back in the box to take to Goodwill. Mommy and Daddy think I have enough things to put in my mouth and the race track neither works well nor fits in my mouth.

Sleeping With Daddy

Daddy thought the two of us were so cute he took this picture himself.

PARTY

Tonight was the MOMS Club Christmas Party. Oliver and I stuck close together and were wallflowers, but I bet next year we will be partying-up a storm!

Santa and me. Santa just handed-out presents, no one sat in his lap. That will be different next year if Mommy has anything to say about it - and she will, now that she is Secretary. (Daddy is the one who wants me to sit on Santa's lap, Mommy doesn't care).

The party was BYOB.

Mommy could not get over how handsome and grown-up I looked in my sweater.

Popcorn

I like popcorn as much as Unckie Dick and Mommy do. I like popcorn more than Cheerios! It must have something to do with our Iowan genes (Don't worry, Mommy watches me very closely whenever I eat popcorn). The movie was taken on the 17th, but I don't think 2 days makes that much difference.

Big Smile

Crash Car Derby II

Chuck E Cheese's

Today I went to Chuck E. Cheese's. There was a lot to see.

Hey Chuck, what's that over there?

Here is the proof that I am adopted. I am a Teletubby!

HI!
I like to look in mirrors almost as much as Mommy!

Winterizing the Scooter

I have on my work clothes so I can winterize my scooter! I do fall and try to become interested in something else so I don't have to stand up again, but you will see my scooter is my passion! (I like the Chinese dog, but my passion is my scooter).

Mommy Thinks I Like Her

Sometimes Mommy leaves me at the YMCA Child Watch while she works-out. I don't mind too much because they have a lot of toys and sometimes there are young ladies who fawn over me. Anyway, today Mommy left me there for an hour and when she returned I crawled to her and held out my right arm so she would pick me up. Once she was holding me, I gave her big open mouth kisses on her cheek and blew air to make funny noises. Mommy seemed to really like everything I did - now if only I knew how to ask for Christmas presents!

A Lazy Sunday Morning

Really it is Sunday afternoon, but just by a few minutes.

5th Annual Firebird Festival

Oliver, our parents, and I went to see the lighting of the phoenix for Phoenixville's 5th Annual Firebird Festival.

Oliver and his mommy.


I am surprised Mommy let me put our picture online - look at that chin! (It really isn't that big - it is the way she is holding me).

At the Library

This is my buddy Oliver and me at the library. I don't know why Mommy is smiling - Oliver is crying because he hit his head on the train table on Mommy's watch. You can see I am trying to comfort him.

Crash Car Derby

I like playing crash car derby with Daddy - but I think Daddy likes it more.

ZOOM

I'm laughing, not crying.

I Am 8 Months Old

I'm 8 months old!


I celebrated my birthday by taking a walk in the rain with my friend Oliver. Our mommies got wet, but we didn't.

This is Oliver. He is 2 1/2 months younger than I am, but we are the same height - and my head is bigger than his. I must have short legs like Mommy and Daddy. I like to bite on Oliver's slippers and stick my fingers in his eyes. He used to like to put his fingers in my mouth, until I bit him.


On the way home from Oliver's house, I told Mommy it is time to turn the stroller around and let me look at things other than her.

I am tired of looking at you lady!


I want to see where I am going, not where I have been.



I am a handsome fella.


After I woke-up from the nap I took in the stroller, I had a snack. Cheerios, of course!

Sharp Edges

I love my new train table - and this map of Detroit. I am fond of maps in general.

If you look in the background you will see Daddy covering the sharp edge on the bookcase with some foam. He already covered the edges on the train table so when I fall I won't blemish my handsome face.
