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!

Not to be out-done by Aunt Rebekah, who recently posted a great Publix deal, I went with Mama to Harris Teeter during triple coupon week and we purchased the following for $4.96:

• 5 boxes of pizza rolls
• 2 boxes of Total
• 1 huge box of Honey Nut Cheerios (25.25oz)
• 1 Fiber One pasteries
• 1 Fiber one muffin mix
• 1 Betty Crocker Bugs fruit snacks
• 3 Chex Mix granola bars
• 1 Pillsbury Chocolate Chunk cookies

By the way, yesterday Mama dragged me to HT, too, and we used another 20 coupons (the max for the day) to get some amazing deals, but didn't have time to take a picture of everything!

printers and keyboards

I just LOVE playing with Mama's printer and keyboard. Did you know I touched a lizard yesterday? Mama was showing it to me on the front porch and I reached out to touch it really fast and Mama screamed! She didn't know I wasn't afraid of it. Mama and Daddy have their first small group meeting for their Sunday School class tonight. I get to go along. I helped Mama make brownies for it. Evie's 1st birthday is today! She is older than I am, but I am bigger. I get to go to her birthday party on Saturday!!

I can turn light switches on and off now. I laugh when the lights turn on. Mama took some pictures of me before bed time last night when I was playing in Mama and Daddy's bed. They play with me before I have to go to bed. Sometimes I get so excited that I bite Mama. Friday night I bit her really hard on the cheek and she wasn't too happy about it. I'm more careful now. It was dark in the room and Mama tried the night scene function on the camera so some of the pictures turned out pretty wacky. I have been so good for Daddy at church when Mama is rehearsing and playing for the services. I never cried yesterday and I had a long afternoon nap before night church. In fact, I had to wear my PJs to night church since I was still sleeping when it was time to go. I got to see Uncle Daniel, Aunt Candice, and Oli on Saturday night when they came over for dinner. Oil licked me on the face!

9 months old!!!!

Who can crawl to the door stop first?

Mama and Aunt Rebekah tried in vain to get all 3 of us to sit and smile at the same time, but they gave up after a while. Evie gets the sit and smile award. Brock and I weren't cooperating.

The cute girlies!

Happy Grandparents' Day = September 11

I try to pull the books and folders off the book shelf before Mama gets me!

Brock is coming to see me tomorrow! I am excited to play trucks with him. Mama has Craisins, bananas, ice cream, waffle cones, chocolate sauce, and peanutbutter - all of his favorites!

My Trip to NY

Coasters ice cream shop!

Rams at the Buffalo zoo.

Grandpa and Grandma babysat a blind dog while I was there.

TGI Fridays for dinner.

Playing with Grandma.

Grandpa pushed me around in the laundry basket.

Uncle Jeremy, Emilie, and me.

Grandma H. gave me a toothbrush and stickers. (She is a dental hygienist.)

I have lots of teeth!!!

We left home at 4:50AM Saturday morning to fly into Buffalo. It was dark outside for the AM pics at the CLT airport! We had a layover at the JFK airport and asked to switch to an earlier flight into BUF! Grandpa picked us up and we ate lunch at the mall as we waited for our luggage to arrive on the later flight. We saw Uncle Jeremy, Aunt Jen, and their niece, Emilie. We ate ice cream at Coasters and I met the Tubbs there. Sunday we went to church at the chapel. Monday, Grandpa drove us to the zoo - $1 admission!! We met the Peters at TGI Fridays at night. The weekend went by fast!



I loved the talking animals at the JFK airport.

New York!

Still fits, Aunt Reba!

I'm standing and crawling with Nike shoes for the first time.

Mama bought me a Billy Graham Library winter outfit when we visited Daddy the other day.

Mama and I started packing today for our trip early Saturday morning to visit Grandma and Grandpa! We are excited that Daddy gets to fly with us this time again! Can you see the new shirt I am wearing today? It says, "Grandma's Prince Charming." I tried on my Nike shoes from Aunt Jen and Uncle Jeremy for the first time today, too!

my week

This is my play station by the piano.

Yesterday Mama took me to see Daddy at lunch time. We stopped by the Billy Graham library afterwards and I saw the talking cow that can say Billy Graham (video below).

I am getting 4 more teeth - 8 total! Grandma, you will be impressed when you see me this weekend! I brush my teeth with my toothbrush every time Mama brushes her teeth.

I played the piano pedals for the first time today. Cool!

Mama says I'm getting better at my daily improvisation.
