Standing tall!

This week I learned how to pull myself to a stand! I got my practice in the crib last weekend, then got better during the week. You can see my sweet Mickey Mouse camo fatigues as I get prepared to invade Orlando, only 3-4 hours away! Getting up on two feet has allowed me to get my hands on lots of stuff I couldn't get before. I have also expanded my vocabulary by immense proportions! Of course, greater vertical mobility wasn't needed for me to find an escape route from my living room prison!

Babyzilla strikes again!

Friday was daddy's birthday! I decided to celebrate by doing my best imitation of grandad watching TV.

I'm getting better at crawling by the day! I like spotting things across the room and crawling after them. Pretty soon mommy and daddy won't be able to keep up with me!

Motor-vating around!

Just thought I'd show off my new moves! Daddy saw me jumping in my saucer while I was eye-balling the big ball, so he let me out and I went after it! I tried crawling again, but was too tired. Still daddy rewarded me by letting me roll around on the big ball! Hopefully I'll have more action in the days to come.

Showing off my inherent man genes!

As you can see from the picture, I'm definitely a guy! Mommy and daddy bought me my own remote control so I won't try to steal daddy's any more. Now I just have to figure out how to make it work with the TV...

One week too late!

After we got home from the beach on Friday, there was a note on the door from Fedex about a package for us. Daddy wasn't sure what it was so he went over to get it that evening rather than wait for re-delivery on Monday. Turns out, it was my passport! One week to the day after we needed it to make our trip. Well, at least now we know we have it.

Back to the beach!

We went to the beach again on Friday and it was hot! Mommy and daddy took me in the water again; I still don't like it, but I did better than last time. I'm going to have to go back soon to try and pick up some chicks; after mommy washed me at the shower as we were leaving a girl told mommy I was a cute baby! Eight months old and I've already got it! Hopefully Miss Susan will email the picture she took of us at the beach; daddy was too lazy to take one.

My first Independence Day and fireworks show!

Since we didn't get to go to Thailand we went down to the river for the fireworks show. Since it gets dark late, I had to take a nap before the fireworks began. It sure is a good thing daddy has a nice big, soft belly! Luckily, I woke up before the fireworks began. I didn't get scared at the noise or anything!

8 months old!

Monday was my eight month birthday. To celebrate mommy and daddy bought me an exercise saucer (or neglectotron as aunt Andi calls them) for me to play in. I have a good time jumping around in it and playing with the toys. My first tooth is out and pushing upward and my second is just about to push through. I can't wait until they're both in!
