What's new.........

I am still a walking machine. I have mastered picking up toys while standing and continuing on. I also love giving everything kisses, especially Buster and Wylee. I have a cold right now and am starting to get pretty picky when it comes to meals. Mom thinks I'll be getting another tooth soon(upper right lateral to be exact) so i might look a little funny until my centrals come in. I am getting into everything, Mom and Dad have a hard time keeping me out of the kitchen cupboards. I pinched my fingers pretty good tonight and i stayed away from the kitchen the rest of the night. I have a busy week with everyone wanting to see me over Thanksgiving weekend so I'm sure we will have tons of pictures to share, here are a few from this week.

The MONSTER is loose!

Who let the monster out to destroy the house?

more walking!

I'm getting so good at walking around. I also have been using just my sippy for the past few days! I am such a big boy now, mom can't believe how fast I'm growing. I started to wave a little and I'm making a effort to clap.

Daddy's working hard.

Here is my daddy trying so hard to get the Christmas lights to turn on. He worked all day putting them up and 2 days later they still don't work. Oh well, maybe next year!

I am still trying to walk all over the place. I'm getting really good at walking across the room and of course walking to Buster and Wylee. I am also doing a lot better with my sippy cup, I actually finish a whole cup of formula, mommy is really proud!

one more picture

Thanks Aunt Erica for my cool T-Shirt!

I'm a walking machine!

I took a little break from walking this past week, then went at it again tonight. I think I'm getting pretty good.

and more halloween pics!

Mommy put me in Buster's Halloween hat, I hated it!

More pictures of ME!

My play date with Cal

Here are some pictures from my playdate with Callen. Right now we still don't know how to play together and we pretty much just crawl all over each other. But we are so cute!

Owie man's first Halloween!

This is me with Paul and Mary from down the street, we were all Bats!

This is my BFF Callen that lives across the street.

Me sharing candy with Wylee.

Halloween was so much fun. I made the rounds with Grandma and Mommy. I stopped by to see Busia and Grandpa J, then went to Great Grandma and Grandpa Newberg's (where i saw a pretty peacock-Anna) then we visited all the neighbors. Mommy will post more pictures soon these are the only ones on her camera, enjoy!

I'm getting so big!

Today I was actually taking a step, not holding on, to get to a new spot. I have also started standing on my own for long periods of time. I love crawling around the house after bath time in just my towel. It won't be long before I take off running.

Hangin' with my family.

This weekend I also got to see my cousin Anna. We were to busy with the toys to look up at the camera. Grandpa let me climb the stairs, Mom and Aunt Erica were right behind me making sure I wouldn't fall.

My first trip to Robinette's Apple Orchard

My cousin Mia came in to town to visit and we went to the apple orchard. I had cider and doughnuts and great-grandma Newberg bought me my first pumpkin.

Laughing at Da-Da

My trip to the Big City!

My First Cab Ride.

GO CUBS!(i'm really a Tigers fan)

Mommy, Daddy and I went to see Aunt Erica and Aunt Jessica run the Chicago Marathon. They both finished and did great! I loved riding around and seeing all the people. I also got to play with my cousin Mia and her new puppy Lucy. I was exhasted by the time we left and had a great nap on the way home.

Having fun with my brothers

9 Month Check Up

I had my 9 month check up this morning, Dr. says I'm perfect. i weigh 20 pounds 6 ounces and am 29 inches long. I was the perfect angel and only cried a little after my flu shot.

Having fun with the fam!

Here I am at Grandma and Grandpa's. Note the new game i like to play when the camera comes out. At the begining you see me moving my head back and forth, no one is sure why I do this but it sure is cute.

My busy weekend.

This weekend we went to brunch for my Grandma and Grandpa's anniversary. I had 2 waffle sticks and lots of other things Aunt Alissa gave me while mommy and daddy weren't looking. Then we went back to grandma and grandpa's house so everyone could play with me. Here are some new pictures.

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.

Here i am playing with my dog Buster, Wylee just sits back and watches.
