A very happy Christmas!

These are just a few pictures and few gifts I got. I had more Christmases than any little boy needs. I got everything from a Lionel trainset to a build a bear named Billy the Kid Monroe! It was so much fun to see lots of gifts, lots of unwrapping and lots of family! Hope your holiday was special!

My secret hide out!

And it tastes good too!

My first Christmas present!

An early Christmas never hurt anyone...THANKS MYA!

Mommy, Can I please open just one?

Today mommy and I are home! It is an icy mess outside so we are spending the day inside. I found this really fun thing under the tree. It is box but it has pretty shiny paper on it and it rattles when I pick it up. So I had a blast carrying it around and trying to find out what made it rattle.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

You know the cool thing about being so small is that when special days, like my daddy's birthday, come and go I get presents too. Check out the hats that Grammy knitted for me and daddy. I look pretty cute in mine but I don't know if I can talk daddy into wearing his with me.
And check out the chair that my great grandfather gave to me. It is the perfect size! My great grandmother made the seat in 1985. It is very special!

HO HO HO! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Wishing everyone a very happy holiday...may you put on your santa hat and enjoy the season!

The one ornament I got away with...

Daddy put it on Reagan and I got to chase her around the house trying to figure out why she was ringing today. When I finally grabbed Reagan, I got to play with this ornament for a little before it went on the tree and was off limits.

My first Christmas tree!

Santa has to be coming soon, right?
Well it might not have been the most beautiful day to go Christmas tree hunting but it was still an adventure. Daddy cut the tree down all by himself and we got to yell "TIMBER!"
When we got home, I helped daddy string the lights and then helped mommy put ornaments on the tree. Although, I thought it was a better idea to lay the ornaments out on the floor. They are so fun to play with and on the tree you can just look at them. They wouldn't have made ornaments so colorful if you weren't suppose to play with them. I tried to tell mommy and daddy but I think I learned the meaning of the word "no!" today.

Happy Thanksgiving!

My first Thanksgiving was fun! I spent it at Grammy Jane's house. I tasted some turkey, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and my favorite pumpkin pie with some whipped topping. It was a beautiful day so we even got to spend some time outside.
I will celebrate again on Saturday with Grandpa Jim.

Bath time is so much fun!

I think it is my favorite time of the day!

Chicago

I went to Chicago but my trip was short lived. I came down with my first fever and I just did not feel good. Before mommy, daddy and I headed back to the great state of Indiana I did get to visit the aquarium with Aunt Susan and Uncle John.

My first Halloween!

I was a monkey...It was the perfect costume for me.
I can walk like a monkey with my hands in the air...I can talk like a monkey...I can even sit like a monkey!
Happy Halloween to all!



P.S. This was not the pumpkin that mommy and me carved!
P.P.S Grammy got me this scary ghoul that was quite nice to chew on but if I accidently pressed to hard and made it start its scary sounds and light up, I just about pooped my pants!

My first pumpkin!

Well, it is really mommy's pumpkin because mine was so tiny that maybe we could have carved one big nose right in the middle. But mommy let me help to carve her pumpkin. Playing in the pumpkin goo was the best part. It required a bath when we were finished. As you can see at first I wasn't quite sure what I was suppose to do!

You want me to stick my hand in there?

It is never too cold...

for a nice boat ride and a little time on the beach!

Mommy loves the fall!

So lucky me...I get to spend a lot of time outside! I crawl, I walk, I get doggy kisses, I taste leaves! I couldn't imagine a better Saturday! Oh yeah and I am just too small to rake leaves so I get to sit back and enjoy the beautiful weather!

It was a great week!

I got the walking thing down...It was mommy's birthday....And I got to enjoy the fall at the lake on Friday night! Woowee! I even practiced my driving skills. I don't know why more people don't use their mouths to drive!

Foot Loose

Give me one more week and I'll be off to college.

I went to the...

PUMPKIN PATCH! I saw so many people...so many pumpkins...so many animals...and my daddy's favorite so many tractors! HAPPY FALL!

GO TEAM SIP!

I was out and about this morning sporting my purple team SIP shirt. I don't know if purple really is my color but I will do anything for family!

M-I-C-K-E-Y

I love my Mickey Mouse ball...to be honest I love any ball. I think that is why Reagan and I get along so well. She goes crazy for balls and even though I can't fit this one in my mouth it still makes me laugh and smile!

Have you read this book?

Since I am getting old....

I thought I would try to tackle some new obstacles. The giant staircase in my house is one of them. But sometimes this weird gate thing blocks them off. It comes and it goes but I can't figure out how to get through it. I have limited times to practice conquering the stairs but I will make it to the top one day!

Here I am...

At 8 months old! Gee whiz...life is good and flying by!
And I still love my puppy! Who wouldn't she is cute and cuddly and I think she might even like me.

Toys....Who needs them?

Seriously...all you really need is a box or a basket and just climb in. You wouldn't believe the hours of fun you can have in one. Everyone should try it at one point in their life. I bet everyone has tried it but maybe the world would be a simplier place if everyone just climbed into a box once a week. I tried to tell daddy to jump in but I was a little afraid he might break my box....maybe I can find one in his size and we can have a big box party!

Look who's cruising!

This toy has it all and with its help I can cruise around just about anywhere! Hop on ladies and I will take you for a ride...watch out mom and dad!

I am ALL boy!

If you didn't know I am ALL boy! I love to be outside! And now that I can move around and find all the things that I can not get into my life is so much more fun! Tonight I sampled some rock and dirt before mom dragged me away from grandpa's pond. Boy, would I have loved to go swimming.
Well anyway...I know you are on here to see some pictures of ME! So I love the swings because they are outside. I am not at all afraid to swing high and feel the wind in my hair! ENJOY!

A mover and a shaker!

Look out ladies! The little cuties at daycare used to have me beat...they could move around and I couldn't! But after a lot of practice today, I learned to crawl! Just wait on Tuesday I will be tearing through the halls of daycare and seeking revenge on the little cutie that was flirting with me the first day...or maybe she just wanted to hit me with that toy just because! I will never understand girls!
