warmer clothes - cooler weather

I like the sweat shirt, Aunt Rebekah and Uncle Ben!!



I'm not holding on to anything!!
Mama tried on my Halloween outfit that Brock's worn before. The head part felt funny and I kept trying to get it off!







I like to crawl everywhere in the house; I don't like to sit still.

New News

Cousin Dan dunked my whole head under water 2x today! That's the first time I've gone under and I kind of liked it. Mama was nervous to do it herself and we just happened to try out the YMCA for the first time today at the same time my cousins were there. I had fun in the pool for an entire hour and I loved splashing the water with my hands. My little fingers and hands looked like prunes afterwards.

I had some bumps and bruises today. Mama thinks this is the most I've gotten in one day. I pinched my fingers, fell into a chair, and got a vaseline jar dropped on my head - Mama was changing me and it slipped out of her hands as I was wiggling away. Fortunately, I wasn't hurt for any of the accidents, but I might have some bruises tomorrow. Mama felt so badly that she fed me again. It was nice getting an extra feeding.

I am getting used to Mama going to the chiropractor. We went for the third time today. I was pretty scared at first when Mama was getting adjusted, but Daddy comes along after work and watches me at the Dr.'s office now. Mama's lower back has some major subluxation and my 21.5 lbs don't help it any. She heard something pop when she picked me up one day from my crib and she hasn't been able to exercise or walk without a little hobble for over a week. She can still take me to the park, though.

I am learning sign language. Mama thinks I can do the "more" sign and she's sure I understand "up." Mama said I CLEARLY said, "MAMA" today. I have been saying "Da da" and "Daddy" for a while.

I was given some stuffed animals and toys from a piano student today! I'm sure you'll see them in pictures very soon. I like animals. I love seeing dogs on our walking route.

I like to skype with Papa and Nanny. I like smiling at them and showing them I can talk. Sometimes I like to play peek-a-boo. Hopefully we can skype with Grandma and Grandpa soon, too.

9.5 mo old and Buba

My new friend is furry, quiet, and likes to play trucks with me. Daddy bought him for me yesterday! I remembered the Gorilla at Grandma & Grandpa H.'s home so when I saw this gorilla in the store, I let out a big squeal.
I think I'll call him Buba the Gorilla.
Buba likes the window sill.

I like to see how far up I can reach!

Do you think Buba likes pears?

night time funniness





Mama says I get excited and act really funny at night. I try to make Daddy and Mama laugh when I am in my pack and play and they are looking at me. Some of the pictures are blurry, but I thought you'd enjoy seeing them anyway.

9 mo. appointment





I went to the doctor again today and I am 30" long and 21.5 lbs. I got another shot today and I didn't even cry. I tore a bunch of paper from the doctor's table; I just love that stuff.

monkey feet

Slides and swings

Daddy takes me down the slides.
I can hold on without anyone touching me, but Daddy gets nervous when Mama lets go.

The park is SO exciting! Mama says I have monkey feet. I can climb up the slide! I'll post the video in the next update.

more birthday pictures (part 2)








Sometimes Evie cries when her Mama is not in the same room!

Brock and Evie's B-day Party!

Brock turned 3 today and Evie turned 1 on the 17th! I was invited to their birthday party today. Aunt Rebekah gave party gifts to all the kids! They had a pinata, GREAT food, toys and things to play with, and tons of yummy cake and cupcakes! Uncle Daniel and Aunt Candice came with Oli and lots of Brock and Evie's friends were there, too. I fell asleep during the party since I missed my afternoon nap, but I awoke to see Evie and Brock eat their b-day cakes! Daddy helped Uncle Ben cook the hotdogs on the grill. We had a fun time! More pictures to come tomorrow... Mama and I are going to bed!

HAPPY 33RD ANNIVERSARY, NANNY & PAPA!








I can stand up by holding the doggie's chain!



I have been wearing the MICHIGAN onesie you gave me for Easter, Papa and Nanny! I hope you have a great Anniversary! I discovered the baby monitor - another gadget!
