Pears!

We have been trying many fruits now that we have gotten use to lots of veggies. Pears were next! These weren't nearly as tart as the apples but they were sweet! YUMMY!!!

Pictures of me simply in a diaper!

Mommy hasn't taken many pictures of me just hanging out in a diaper so thought this would be a good time. She said she wants to remember my soft, flawless, precious baby skin! We had a great time playing and I am becoming a pro at sitting! See for yourself! :)

Oh, that sunshine...we don't see that much in these necks of the woods!

Boy oh boy, I can't wait to play with the black and white furry thing when I get a little bigger!

Mommy, why does he eat his plastic balls...are they edible?!?!

Silly Bailey!

I love you too, mommy!

Bailey's eyes aren't use to that thing called sunshine either!

Mommy, that's me you are talking about when you say PRECIOUS, right?!?!

Okay, I will be PRECIOUS for you mommy!

More halloween pictures!

I have to post my handsome daddy and the tutest giraffe in the world!

Apples.....very tart!

Mommy and I made apples the other day! Mommy said it was alot like Applesauce...minus all of the extra added sugar! :) Mommy said she loves applesauce so said I would probably like the apples..... Well, the first few bites were a little bit of a shock to my taste buds and caused me to make a few silly faces!!! :) I think I will like them better as I get more use to their taste!

Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween!!! For my first Halloween I was a giraffe!!!! I won best costume in our neighborhood, in a contest that mommy and daddy made up and where mommy and daddy were the only judges....so maybe they were a little biased! :) We went trick-or treating for about 30 minutes which only ended up being....1, 2, 3, 4, 5 houses! At each house we stayed and chatted for a little bit..meeting more neighbors! Bailey came too! Mommy carried me and daddy carried Bailey. I got lots of good candy (which mommy has already almost finished)! Bailey even got a treat too! We had a great first Halloween but boy did it wear me out...I slept from 7:00 to 6:15 then was up for a quick feed and then slept until 9:15!

Do you see the resemblance??!?! :)

Bailey, do you see what mommy is doing to me?

Oh no, now she's making you pose too! Well, at least she didn't dress you up!

Mommy, daddy, Bailey, and I got Boo'd!!! That means someone left a basket of candy and other goodies on our doorstep, rang our doorbell, and ran. They also left us a little note explaining that we were Boo'd and how to play the game. Included in our goodies was this hat which was given just for me!

Playing with my new toys!

I had all of these toys sitting in my playroom waiting for me to turn 6 months! So now that I am, mommy and I took them ALL out to play with! If you drop balls in Mrs. Chicken she sings and her rings come off for me to...you guessed it...put in my mouth! I will learn my colors and shapes with my first set of blocks! And I will learn more colors and learn how to put things together and pull them apart with this my big bead-looking toys! I really liked playing with these because.....yep....you're right again....because I can try to eat them!!! :)

Oh, and mommy and daddy have been really encouraging me to practice sitting. Sometimes I get a little mad at them when they do this. Like in these two pictures...I was screaming at mommy because she wouldn't help me out of the sitting position! I was being big and strong and sitting so good (though I wasn't happy about it)!

That's better!!!

And even better..now that I have my toys in my mouth!

Bananas!!!!

I tried fruit for the first time this week and boy was it good! Mommy made me bananas. She said that bananas are one of her and daddy's favorite fruits. Mommy, I think they are going to be one of my favorites too! Next up...Apples!

Avocado!

Avocado is such a great vegetable with so many wonderful nutrients....hmmmm or is it a fruit???? Either way, it's good!!! :)

My weekend at Aunt Kristi's (Gammy came to visit too)!!!

Last weekend daddy, mommy, Bailey, and I packed up and headed down to Columbus for the weekend. It was mommy and daddy's and gramps and Evelyn's annual Buckeye weekend! Every year the four of them camp out in the Holiday Inn on Lane, go to a great dinner Friday night and then go to a Buckeyes game on Saturday. The annual restaurant of choice is called Mitchell's and it is delicious!!! Mommy likes it because instead of a bowl of mints on the way out, they have a bowl of JELLY BEANS!!! Mommy says the best jelly beans ever, by the way! :) After dinner Friday night, mommy came back to Aunt Kristi's to stay with me and Uncle Dustin spent the night in the hotel with daddy (after the bars closed, of course). Saturday, before mommy left to go down to campus, we all played (me, Addison, Gammy, Aunt Kristi, Uncle Dustin, Bailey, and Wrigley). Mommy left mid-afternoon and gave me lots and lots of kisses before she left....it was going to be our first night apart. :( I had a great evening though. Gammy, Aunt Kristi, Uncle Dustin, Cousin Addison and Wrigley and Bailey took great care of me and entertained me! I slept really great for Gammy too...6:30ish to 5:15!!! And then after a quick feeding until 9ish! Thanks for taking such great care of me when mommy and daddy were away!! Mommy and daddy had a good time tailgating and going to the game....though it would have been even better is the Buckeyes won. :(

Whatcha doing over there, Cousin Addison?

Playing with your green ring?

This wooden spoon sure is fun!

Oh, Gammy you are so silly!!!!

Gammy, you're too much!

Peas!

Yyyyyuuuuummmmmyyyyyy! I sure do love peas! They sure are messy though!

Waiting patiently

MMMMMMMMMM!!!!

I think I got more on my face than in my mouth!

Having fun in my Bebepod!

I love my bebepod so much I could just eat it!!!! :)

Well, I can work a spoon and a sippy cup so you aren't surprised that I can give myself my bottle too, are you!?!?

Proud daddy looking on!!!
