CAKE FIGHT!!!

We went to Auntie Reina's for Anna and Aubrey's birthday. I had a blast. I got to sit on a soccerball bean bag, just like my cousin Drew Shaboo. I also witnessed my first cake fight between Auntie Reina, Aubrey and Summer. It was crazy!! There was cake everywhere. Sorry
Aubrey, I think you lost. I definitely learned a thing or two and can't wait to take it to the high chair.

All Aboard my New Choo-Choo

I've done it! I've mastered the art of getting my parents to give me my birthday gifts early. Hopefully I can do it again at Christmas!! I mean, how could they resist my charm and good looks??? Today Mommy and Daddy gave me my 1st birthday gift early. It was the coolest thing ever! It's a Choo-Choo train and I am pushing it all around the house. There are so many buttons to push and songs to dance to. Mommy and Daddy did make the mistake of letting me have it right before dinner though. They tried to take me away from it to eat and I showed them... by refusing to eat. Didn't they know playing was most important at the time??? Thanks Mom and Dad for the fun toy!!

Meeting Christopher

I met Christopher for the 2nd time, today. He is my tummy baby friend - Landon's - 2nd cousin. He came into town for Landon & Christine's baby shower. He is 3 months older than me and is walking all over the place. Wow!! The first time we met, Elodia put us under an activity gym together and we cried at each other. We aren't baby's anymore, so we played together.

The girl in the picture is Morgan, Christopher's sister. She came to Chrstine and Landon's baby shower and won the Bingo Game. She really wanted to win the pumpkin prize... and she did it!! Christine received some really nice gifts, including a really soft blue puppy. Landon will have fun with this lovey.

Up!

Mommy Taught me about "Up" this week. Look at me point up!!

Mattress fun!

I love to bounce up and down. My mattress is a good place to do that. After Mommy and Daddy bounced me on my mattress, Daddy thought it would be neat to see if I could climb up the mattress rested against the couch. I was up for the challenge and climbed all the way up to the couch. Then Mommy, Daddy and Gramma Carla watched me slide down (with a spotter of course). It was really fun and I laughed a lot.

Naked Pee-er

After my bath tonight, I cruised around naked and peed under my activity table. If any of my friends are reading this... you can play with the activity table still. Mommy cleaned it all up good.

Cruising... no folding here!

Recently I learned how to push the laundry basket around. I go pretty fast. Here I am giving Avery a ride around our house.

Practice Makes Perfect

Here I am practicing eating dessert with my spoon. I made a little bit of a mess. Practice makes perfect though... that's what Mommy says. It's also fun to make my face really dirty. Daddy thinks it's funny because no matter how hard he and Mommy try to clean my face, there is always something left over... just like a toothpaste mark on your clothes.

Auntie Carissa's Baby Shower

Carissa and Nathan Henry (my cousion Hank) received so many cool gifts at the baby shower today! If they need someone to make sure all the toys are good enough, I volunteer! There were so many awesome gifts!

I felt pretty special today because I was the only guy at Auntie Carissa's baby shower. I was getting so much attention from the ladies. Grandmaman rocked me to sleep and I was just in heaven.

Congratulations on my cousin to be... Uncie Evan, Aunti Carissa and Drew Shaboo!!

Getting in Good with the F.B.

Every day, I feed my best doggy friend, Fozzie. Fozzie likes it when I feed him. He follows me everywhere when I have food. I think he really likes me.

Me and My Papa!

Papa loves to hold me. He always makes me feel special when he calls me a Big Boy. He came over when we had Aunt Jacqueline over for dinner. Papa, Drew, Avery and I played a game where I threw Avery, and then Papa and Drew Shaboo would give Avery back to me. I loved it!!

My Serious Face

It has been really cold this week. I've been wearing a beanie to school each morning. Here I am with my beanie AND gloves. I'm sure there will be a lot of this over the winter. Last winter, I was so young that I didn't go out too much. I hope Mommy and Daddy take me to the snow this year.

Bathtime with a Bubble Afro

Grampa Steve's #1 Fan

Today I got to see my Grampa Steve play music and sing downtown. It was awesome! I could listen to him all day! I'm so lucky to have such a talented Grampa. I hope I can make cool music when I grow up. I practice drumming on my empty formula containers. It definitely doesn't sound as nice as Grampa's music. I'll keep working on it!

Hats!

After Grampa's gig, we went to Village Schoolhouse. I played with so many toys there. I especially liked the horsey on springs. When Mommy stopped bouncing it, I decided I'd bounce it myself. I really got it going. Mommy and Daddy got a kick out of putting hats on me. Am I an Engineer (Mini-Daddy) or am I a Viking??

Play Date at Riley's

Riley invited us over today to celebrate her mommy's birthday. This is my good friend, Colton. He had a good time riding on Riley's bug rocker. Look at his surprised look.

This is Riley. She's a cutie!



Jori and Riley are cool chicks!

Ashley and Josh played house with Riley.

Colton and I raced across the floor. You can go really fast on the wood floor. Look at Colton go!

Colton pushed me in the red racer wagon. Our mamaratzis make us do silly things. It was a lot of fun though.

Afterwards, I pushed Colton in the wagon.

Here's Riley, I think she is practicing writing me love letters. He He.

Colton and I found some cool stuff to play with. I made music with the tin pan.

Ashley likes Colton. He reminds her of a little bug.

Before the end of the night, I got to ride the rocker too. Wheeeee!

Cheers - to Ally's birthday!!!

I Was a Little Bit Sad Today

I was really excited when I got up this morning. I was going to see my Great Grampa Ray and Great Gramma Mary today. I told all my friends at school and even left a little bit early so I could take an early nap so I had lots of time with them. Grampa got sick on his way to Redding from his Navy reunion in Eureka. Mommy tells me that road is windy and not very fun to drive. Grampa was not able to come over because he was really sick and had to sleep. I wish I could have seen him so I could make him feel better. Grampa had to go home the next morning, so I didn't get to see him. Mommy will have to take me to Stockton to see them.

Gramma and Grampa came over, as well as Great Gramma Norita and Great Grampa Jim. They visited with me. Gramma Carla helped me practice my walking. I couldn't decide whether I wanted to be on the grass...or the pavement. After I got ready for bed, Daddy hung me by my legs. That was funny.

"Touchdown!"

Mommy taught me a new move today. It's called "Touchdown". Mommy and Daddy say touchdown, and I do this move where I throw my arms up in the air. I'm going to practice it at the next football Sunday, when the Niners score. Don't mind my sloppy face.

Eating on the Patio

Look at my teeth!!
