This one is for my Dad :)

Hope the conference is going well....good luck on your presentation! Mom and I miss you lots :-)

Remember the other day while you were making bread, you dropped some flour on the floor, you got to take these pics of me.....


Because I of course put the flour all over my face :)


It is almost as big as me :)

Our attempt at making a band :)


And then you caught me feeding both myself and Odysseus my snack :)

Did the cherries give you a belly ache Ody?

I think I found a cherry in your fur....hold still

I have always wanted to grab your nose :)


You let me see your brand new 2009 US Mint collectors coins...


Well....what did you expect me to do?


Helping me learn to walk (happy birthday Dad)...I love these moments with you <3


I love going to the Ath....I do my best walking here. And I love the dress you got me...I look so cute in it :)


I am SO you Dad....I even make your funny camera face!!!

Sorry mom, I had to make the face....I see dad do it all the time....I love you though!!


Look how tall I'm getting!


AH! Ody!! No Kisses!!!


This was today at the park....I got to use my first shovel and pail. I also ate a shovel full of sand :) I didn't much care for it :-P


I actually got sand in it this time!!!!!


I almost got it right!


What was that you said?


I tried to feed Ody some...he refused


Mom made a big mistake taking my hat off.....I poured sand on my head :)


Mom got me one of those suction cup bowls....I like it....I like it!!!!


Not bad for my first attempt huh?


Now for bath time!!! See you tomorrow Dad! XOXOXO

Curiosity

I am FINALLY caught up with my blog posts...I can go back to doing one a week!!!!! SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the only cabinet I'm allowed to play in....but at least mom has stocked it with all sorts of interesting things for me to play with....like this water bottle.....Mom it's empty!


Now I know she gets the water from in here somewhere....
This is also another one of my favorite places to play in the kitchen....
But I'm not allowed to for that long...I almost figured out how to open the door though :)


My attempt at a karate pose...knees up, hands postured...not too bad...I could loose the spoon


Soren got me this headband....cute huh? It is really comfy too, I don't even try to take it off


Here is a better pic of the headband


Be quiet...I'm having a bad hair day!


I'm going for the Einstein look

Ok so it's official..... I TOOK MY FIRST 3 STEPS!!!!!!! It'll still be a few months before I am officially walking, but I got my feet wet! Sadly there is no footage of my taking my steps....but there are pictures of the moments after. Mom and Dad are a bit concerned because my first steps were not toward them but toward a little boy....
And here it is!!! Moments after I took my first steps!!!!

That is Tiago, the little boy I walked to :)
Look how proud my dad is!


I'm still kinda stunned that I did it!


Here I am trying to go again...


The look of achievement!


Then Ashton and Natalie came over to congratulate me :)


All that walking and excitement tired me out...
here I am this afternoon during a 3 hr nap I took :)


Ciao'

Dad! Mom was showing me how to play the guitar


Patio dinners are so much fun...I love to look at the birds


Here Ody...wanna play ball?


Well??? I switched to your tennis ball and I threw it for you...now go get it.


I am learning to kick the ball....I am actually pretty good at it.


Thanks for being my step stool Dad :)


Now just hold still for me while I use your face as a step


My parents make the weirdest faces to entertain me


So I entertain them right back....Ta Da


Pictures can never do justice to just how messy I get :-)


I've just started to take a liking to my stuffed animals...this is Bolt
