Me eating!

Here I am eating yogurt puffs.

I am officially a monster. Mommy and daddy are having a hard time keeping up with me. I am crawling all over the house and getting into everything I am not supposed to. I have learned how to pull myself up on any and every thing. I really like standing in my crib and jumping when i am supposed to be taking a nap.

Mommy has let me try all sorts of new foods. I had grapes, waffles and at brunch Grandpa Ron gave me a cookie. Daddy said no and took it away, but i got one bite in. I have also learned how to feed myself. I don't care for my sippy cup anymore. Mommy keeps putting my milk in it and I just push it away until she puts it in my bottle. Enjoy my new pictures.

MY NEW TOOTH

Last week i got my first tooth and daddy finally got a picture of it!
*UPDATE* tooth #2 arrived this morning 9/28 and we got a better picture too.

My bestfriend, Buster.

Getting into trouble....................and more trouble.

My weekend in Chicago

Mommy took me to Chicago this weekend and we had a great time. We stayed with Aunt Erica, and Aunt Jessica let us stay in her room. We got there around 9:30 and I was still sleeping. I was fast asleep the whole way there and woke up just long enough for aunt Erica to play with me a little. The next morning we went to a yummy Swedish restaurant for breakfast and I had some of mommies pancakes. I like them a lot. Then we went to the farmers market and got some homemade organic baby food that I loved.

On Saturday my cousin Mia came in town to play with me. We had lots of fun looking at each other and playing with each others toys. Mia is almost 11 months old and I am already bigger than she is! I loved watching her crawl around the condo and pulling herself up on the furniture. I won't be far behind, I'm starting to scoot backwards. We also went to visit mom's cousin Tommy and Katie. They are getting married in August and have a big dog named Wrigley that loved to lick my face. I liked pulling all his fur out. I had a great time in Chicago and can't wait to go back in October to watch Aunt Erica and Aunt Jessica run the marathon!

Another Daddy Day

Here I am cruising around the basement. Daddy pretty much lets me do whatever I want.

AJ and Me

Here's a picture of me with my cousin Austin. We wanted to go swimming today in my pool, but it was too cold outside. We had fun playing together inside all day.

my cousin anna and me

I got to play with my cousin anna this weekend. We spent the day at my cousin courtney's granduation party. we are getting so big. we love to look at each other and smile.

Look everybody I can stand up by myself! Watch out world, here I come!

I'm a big boy with my own cup now!

I liked the water so much my Mommy bought be my very own pool!

What? I can't hear you because there is something in my ear.

Owen was a natural in the water. He seemed to be right at home splashing away and riding in his turtle. Bath time will never compare to this!

Here's a video of my first time in the water with Mommy and Aunt Erica.

The floor or my crib?

I love the zoo~!

Get that camera out of my face already.

This is my first time eating Bananas and I think I like them!

I don't think I like Pears.

What a meal, I don't think I can move!

Play time!

No dogs barking, nobody poking me, my blanket wrapped up in my arms. I could sleep all day!

You call this food? Where's the dessert?

I finally get to sit around the table in my own chair!

Daddy is home!

Daddy was in Europe for 13 days and now he's back. I'm very happy to have my daddy days back! Every Thursday when daddy watches me, we laugh and nap all day!

My mommy has been feeding me solid foods for over a week now. I"m starting to get used to it, and I really like them.

HI!

Here I am after a long day with daddy!

Owen finally got big enough for his feet to touch the ground.

Off to my first BBQ

Hi everyone, I went to my first BBQ this weekend. I had a great time everyone told me how cute I was. The BBQ was for Relay for Life. Mommy's helping out at a booth there. It's at Rockford Middle School May 16 &17, and all the money raised goes to The American Cancer Society. Everyone should come out and support cancer research!
