Here's me being all cute and stuff...

Grandma says that I am soooo cute! I love looking in the mirror at myself too. Mommy just encourages me. She swears that she won't spoil me, though. (That's Grandma's job. She told me herself and made me pinky swear to keep it on the QT, so don't tell anyone I told ya.)

Anyway, here I am being all cute and stuff...

Brittany's here!

Brittany is my new friend. She is from Texas. Now, I don't know where that is, but she sure does talk different. Texas must be like a whole 'nother country or something. Anyhow, she plays with me and watches me nap when Mommy and Daddy aren't here. Sometimes she even gives me lunch -- I love yobaby yogurt. I can eat a whole container of it in one sitting and I don't even throw up! That's quite an accomplishment when your stomach is the size of a walnut. But I'm working on stretching it out a bit.

Anyhow, here is me and Brittany. It's her birthday today. Happy Birthday Brittany!

I've got a sweetiebum

At least mommy says I've got a sweetiebum. I think she just means my diaper though. She makes awful faces when she changes my poopies! Here are some pictures of me looking all cute and sweet. (I've really got the folks fooled!)

I can do pull-ups!

I'm a big boy now! Today I pulled up to a stand for the very first time. I've been trying for awhile, but it takes a bit to make enough muscle to do this. It's a little tricky, so be careful out there if you are trying this too. Of course, you got to do it while the folks have their backs turned so you kinda freak them out. And I highly recommend doing this in the crib for the first. Cause it didn't hurt nearly so much when I fell backwards on my butt. Hey, I got worn out with all that pulling... No one told me I had to hang on once I got up there. (I'm pretty tall, by the way, and it's a long way to the ground now!)

I Love Liz!

Liz Vance is my photographer. She makes me look so good! I love going to her warm studio and stripping all of my clothes off and having my picture taken! (She's pretty talented at hiding all those pertinent little baby parts from the camera lens.) Momma says I take after her in that I am not terribly photogenetic, or something like that... but I think I look pretty good!

Here is a link to the latest photos that Liz took of me:

They won't be there for too terribly long, so go look now!

If you need baby or belly pictures taken in Virginia, Liz is your gal! Mention my name and I'm sure she will take extra special care of you, just like she does of me.

My First Snow!

Boy, this year has been full of "firsts" for me! My first teeth, my first mosquito bite, my first food, and now my first SNOW! Of course, I really don't get what all the fuss is about. Mom says it's cold, but I don't really understand what cold is... I am all warm and snuggly every time she takes me outside, and my room is all toasty warm, and now I get to wear these snuggly warm clothes, too. But I guess it's a big deal.

This Christmas thing is coming up too. The folks are getting all these lights and pretty papers out. Looks pretty neat to me. I can't wait to play with a few of those boxes! Momma says quite a few of them are for me! I think boxes look pretty nifty!

Moosy-pants!

I just love my Moosey, Mortimer. He never gets called Mortimer though... it's usually just Moosey. Mommy decided that I needed a pair of handmade knit pants to wear when I play with Moosey. So she paid a lady named Amy to make a pair for us. They are really cool. Amy has a company called Crankypants and she specializes in making Monster Booty, but she agreed to do a special design just for us!

Here is the blog where they are.

I just LOVE all of the wool pants that Momma has gotten for me. And I LOVE my cloth diapers. They are so soft on my bum. They breath so much better than those paper diapers... those are hot and sticky. And the best part is that Momma says I have never had a diaper rash. Now I don't know what that is, but it doesn't sound too appealing to me.

The names of the diapers make me giggle... I have Fuzzi Bunz and Bum Genius and Berry Plush and Thirsties and Daisy Doodles and of course my new Crankypants! Life is Good!
