should have been in a 80's band

My mom thinks I should have been in an 80's big hair band. Not because I have great hair, but because I bang my head!

This week I was waking up from my nap and mom could hear me over the monitor starting to "stir". She could hear a thumping or pounding noise, but she thought it was my feet on my mattress. But it was a little louder than usual. This is how she found me in my bed. Banging my head against the wall, and I was pretty proud of myself for figuring out how to make such a big noise!

Mom took a couple of pictures with her phone.

I'm a Tiger!

I was a tiger for Halloween. Mom and Dad were helping with the Fall Fun Fest at the church so we didn't really go trick or treating. Plus, I can't have candy yet, so I guess all I would have got was tricks.

Mom bought my costume almost 2 months ago and didn't even think about having me try it on before Halloween. OOPS! It was a little small! But, to give my mom some credit, my costume was a 12-18 months.

golfing with daddy

Today mommy took me to the golf course to walk the back nine with daddy. I was really quiet on the golf course and that made mommy and daddy very happy!







You can do it dad!



what are you thinking dad? that's the wrong club!

I'm 9 months old!

Mom and Dad can't believe that I'm 9 months old already! I went to the doctor this week to get a check up and for shots. I weighed 21 lbs. and 4 oz. Mom almost forgot to take my picture on my 9 month "b-day" so this one with red eyes is the best she's got!

Since I'm getting a little older, Mom has been letting me eat some of the same stuff she eats for lunch. This week she let me have a "turkey sandwich" (I had turkey and toast cut up into tiny little pieces.) I really like eating big people food.

I had some trouble getting the turkey stuck to my face and wondering where I put it...

but after a while I really liked it!

weekends

Big surprise...mommy's behind on posting. We've been traveling a lot as usual. A few weekends ago we went to Springfield to see Uncle Rusty, Aunt Lana, and my cousins Regan and Morgan. We always have fun spending time with them, and this weekend was no exception!

Here is my Uncle Rusty, daddy, Regan and Morgan at Planet Sub. I sure like that place because mommy ate there all the time before I was born!

Here I am again with Regan and Morgan.

Then this past weekend we went to the lake house (Thanks Curt and Patti!!) for the weekend with mommy's whole family! It was the first time we've all been together for a long time! We were all together because we were having a surprise 60th birthday get-together for Grandpa.

This is how I looked after the long drive to the lake house! Apparently I lost a sock along the way.

This is me and my aunt Elizabeth. She sure likes to hold me!

The Pumpkin Patch

Mom and Dad took me to Weston, MO on Saturday to go to the pumpkin patch and apple orchard! Mom didn't dress me right for the weather, so I look a little silly in my pictures. It was hot out, and she had me in a sweater. So, I shed that and sported my undershirt!

I was a little serious on Saturday too, so mom had a hard time getting pictures of me smiling!


I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do with all of these big orange pumpkins, so I beat them like a drum.

Daddy had fun walking around the farm with me on his shoulders! He's a great daddy!



When we got out to the patch...I didn't know what to do. So, mom and dad kept sitting me on the pumpkins hoping for a good picture. I still don't know why I was sitting on a pumpkin.

Always taking pictures in the bath tub

Mom and Dad are always taking pictures of me in the bath tub. The doctor told mommy to give me a bath every day for my skin issues, so I get to play in the tub EVERY DAY!

I've been working on more teeth this past week, so I have been biting my lip a lot! Dad caught me! Do you like my spiked hair? I've been trying a few new looks lately.

Dad also got a good pic of my 2 bottom teeth...my only teeth!
