Cookie and Me

The back of Cookie's head and me - and a Trivial Pursuit game.

Messy

Though I can usually choke-down my new healthy meals, this one was not the best, so I made a mess. I bet Grandma Dene is cringing because I don't have on a bib!

Please Touch Museum

Oliver and I went to the Please Touch Museum with our mommies. We liked it a lot.

This is me on the carousel. I rode a cat. I am not yet a fan of the carousel like my Cousin Jackson is. I was whining and Mommy had to jump-on behind me.

Oliver sat on a swan. This swan was not on the carousel. Oliver was asleep when we took the carousel ride, so he and his mommy sat on a bench. Next time we will go on the carousel first thing.

Happy Hour

After a hard day of playing at the Please Touch Museum, Mommy and Daddy thought I could use a beer at Iron Hill. I am so big I now can have my own chair!

Hey ladies.
Where's my beer, serving wench?

Who needs fancy toys when you have a spoon?

Swinging

I like to swing.




Weeeeeeeee.........


I can pump, but it makes me tired.

Scooting Outside

Sunday was a beautiful day, so I took my scooter outside. I am glad I took such good care of it over the winter. I am going to buy a helmet this week with my Valentine's Day treat money. The gift of safety is a wonderful gift.

On the move.


Sitting is for losers.

Valentine's Day Party

On Valentine's Day night I had a party! Oliver and his parents came, so did Baby Luke.

This is a picture of Baby Luke smiling. He did not smile a lot. He missed his Mommy.


Luke and me playing.


Luke knows how to rattle the gate, too!


The three of us sitting next to each but not playing together.

Doggies

This morning I read my Doggies book.

I Am 10 Months Old

I am 10 months old and...
I have been "out" as long as I was "in".
I still have grey eyes.
Mommy doesn't let me play with her glasses or bite her or pull her hair as much as she used to. (This is mostly Daddy's doing).
I occasionally wave "hello" and "goodbye".
I like to be carried around and see the world.

I like to feed myself.

I like kale.

Toddler 'Tude

I might not be walking yet, but I have a toddler attitude.

Poor Oliver

I don't know why Oliver plays with me. I like to take his hat and pull his hair. His mommy tries to protect him, but it is no use. I am a big meanie.

Cheesy Poofs

Cheesy poofs are where it's at. I can't believe I used to eat Cheerios. How boring! See the red rubber band on my bottle? Daddy was trying to attach my bottle to the toy on my highchair so he wouldn't have to hold the bottle for me or pick it up when I drop it. My parents are so half-ass.

Older

Mommy and Daddy think I look older today than I did yesterday.

I Am Like a Fish I Am

My Green Tambourine

Airing Out

Sometimes a fella needs to air out in his crib.

Stats

As you can see by my stats, I haven't been doing a lot of growing the past 3 months because I have been busy crawling and cruising! Fortunately my head is still big, so the brains have been growing even if the body growth has tapered off. My weight may also be down a little because I have been sick, but probably just by a few ounces. The doctor said I am well hydrated.

About the picture...I had to have blood drawn like a big person! WAH! The doctor wanted to check my hemoglobin and lead levels - whatever those things are. The phlebotomists were very nice and did a wonderful job. In fact, I was so handsome two of them worked on me at the same time! I have a way with the ladies.

Where's Mommy?

This morning I was reading my books in my playroom, fka the livingroom, and I noticed Mommy was missing. Instead of crying or whining, I went looking for her. Mommy thought that was really cool. I am glad she came to find me though; I was crawling toward my bedroom and she was in the kitchen. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't found her.

4:22:93

Almost 4 minutes and 23 seconds of my life on my 9-month birthday.

I Am 9 Months Old

Can you believe I am 9 months old?

I am 9 months old and I still like to hang onto the baby gate, but I can now stand up and down as I please. Before I needed Mommy's help to let go.
I am 9 months old - and I am sick. You know things aren't good when I give my Goldfish® Baked Snack Crackers to the dog and I can barely smile.

I am 9 months old - and I have 3 upper teeth. See? (I have 2 bottom teeth too, but who doesn't?)
