New Trick #182

In case you missed it, the trick is that now I can get myself into a sitting position from a belly lay. Yay me!

Buckets & Newsprint

One of these scenes was created by Mommy, and one was created by me. Can you guess which is which?

I'm a Wild and Crazy Guy!

This weekend Mommy caught me trying to spring Marley from his jail.





And yesterday I discovered how nice it is to roll around in my luxurious blankey.







And I wrapped things up today by playing with a bucket of toys!





Noise rules!

Good times. Good times.

I can't get enough of my bears lately. Mommy found me asleep like this this week and couldn't help but snap a pic.



Today Mommy and Daddy moved my mattress lower. Remember how I said I was getting better and better at trying to stand in my crib? Here's some more progress... This was Thursday:



And this was yesterday:



I was SO CLOSE!!! Now I have to try a lot harder to grab the top rail since I'm so much lower. But don't worry, I'll have it down in no time.

Today Mommy and Daddy took me to the wading pool by our house. It was my first time in a pool and I thought it was so fun! It was also very relaxing. I spent the whole time reclined and chewing on one of my toys. That's the life, I tell ya.





Mommy and Daddy also wanted to let you all know that I can turn around on my belly now. I haven't quite mastered this crawling thing, but when I combine my backwards scootchin', the belly spins, and rolling around, I can really move! Today I even sat myself up from a belly-layin' position. Mommy and Daddy were so impressed since they've never seen me do that before. I'm full of surprises.

Shakin' Things Up

Just when you thought I'd sit and play in the middle of my crib where you left me so you could take Marley outside...

you find me like this!



I'll be standing here next time... Just sayin'.



And just when you thought I could only sleep on my back with my head to the right, or on my left side, you peek in on my during my nap...

And find THIS!

Photo Overload!

Mommy finally downloaded some photos from her and Daddy's phones. So here they are:

I could not figure out why I couldn't get any milk from this danged thing!



Me, Grandpa G, and Daddy's hat





Here I am playing with one of my favorite toys. Mommy and Daddy got it at a garage sale and I love it! I'm very good at sitting on it and pushing all the noisy buttons.





I had my first teething bisquit this weekend. It tasted like graham crackers! Or at least that's what Mommy and Daddy tell me, since I've never had graham crackers...



Here are some oldies, but goodies!

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

Daddy, you are the best daddy I could ever ask for. We have so much fun together! When I grow up, I wanna be just like you.

Chillin' With My Mohawk

I had a killer mohawk this weekend. Mommy styled my hair right after a bath and let it dry into a mohawk. It was so cool! We went to Mommy's cousin's wedding reception and I looked so tough. Beforehand though, Mommy and Daddy took lots of pictures of me with my new 'do.

Movie time!

See my new toy? I can stand and play with it! It's super fun.



I get so excited with my new toy that I can't help but shout about it.



Then I end up getting hungry. Today mommy gave me a banana in my mesh feeder. I ate half a banana! Then I needed a bath.

Fancy Pantstravaganza!

Mommy made me some new shorts! Check 'em out. I can't wait to wear them.





And just cuz I'm cute...

Bluest Eyes In Minnesota

Please disregard the messy face. I had just finished eating carrots when Mommy snapped this pic.
