Cheerios here I come!

I've had a teensy little problem since starting this "solid" food stuff... I don't quite know how to swallow the solid parts yet. It kind of gags me. I even threw up a few times. And throwing up the chunks is just no fun. But mommy has found these new Puffies. They melt in my mouth and they come in tasty flavors like cherry, banana, and sweet potato. I have learned to pinch them to pick them up. When I used to grab them in my palm, I couldn't really let go and they would get stuck there. Gosh that was frustrating. Anyhow, here's me and my puffies.

Fun with Daddy

I love my daddy! He watches Veggietales with me and plays with me lots. Here's a few fun shots of us.

Crawling casualties

This is my first boo boo. This crawling stuff is pretty challenging. Somebody opened the door and didn't tell me that it was on hinges. I leaned up against it to try to stand and next thing I knew I had landed on my noggin. That wasn't too fun and I made my displeasure known to the folks for quite a while. Luckily my memory is pretty short so it hasn't stopped my mobility one little bit.

My Bradley Buds

I have a play group! Actually, I have had a play group since before I was even born. My mommy did something called Bradley Childbirth classes... they were supposed to help her have me all natural and stuff. But, even though it worked pretty well, I guess I was a little pistol coming out all crooked and really messed up her plan. Anyhow, Hadassah and Oliver were in their mommy's tummies when we all first met. Now we get to play together on the outside. We are just starting to learn how to have fun together. I think they are pretty neat. Here we are playing today. It was really nice and warm for March, mommy said. I don't know. I've never seen a March before. This is my first one.


















Hadassah has cool toys that she lets me play with. I have to concentrate real hard on these triangles. I just know they must come apart. (Most of my other toys do!)

Goomers and Cheeks Oh My!

I am just adding to my trick repertoire by the day. Here is the new one that I just added today. You have to practice looking svelte when you are 8 months old, so I learned how to suck in my cheeks.

And here I am showing off my two teeth. I'm pretty proud of them and I love to chomp on anything that gets in the way!

The Piano Man

I got a really cool present for Christmas from Abuela... it's this piano. I could just stand at it and "play" for hours. Well, at least for a half hour... my legs kinda give out after that. It gives me real good practice with my balance 'cause more than once I have pulled it over on top of me. Momma says we need to nail it to the floor. She also says that if she hears "Itsy Bitsy Spider" or "Row row row your boat" one more time her ears are going to bleed. I think that would be a neat trick. I might have to try it.

Baby Einstein

Boy that Einstein guy must be pretty smart. He came up with some pretty cool baby toys that I love to play with! My favorite girlfriends, the Burkes, have lent me this cool thing called an Exersaucer. I don't get too much exercise in it, it only goes around in circles... but it is a pretty neat toy. Here you can see me sitting in it looking all cool and boy-like...













And here's a few of me looking like a big boy. At least that's what momma says. To me, well, I've always been this size.
