Run, Forrest, run!

I haven't been up to much lately because I've been sick. I had a runny nose for a few days, so Mommy took me to the doctor. Just to reassure her that I needed to go see the doctor, I threw up on her in the waiting area. Hehe! I felt better after, but Mommy was all yucky! Anyway, I have double ear infections, but I'm feeling better already.
I was home with Daddy today and he got the full effect of my antibiotics:) Let's just say, it's a little messy. But as I said, I'm feeling better. As you can see in this vid, not only can I crawl and sit myself up now, but I can run!


Can anyone please tell me why I can only run in circles?!?! Will I ever break free?

I have eight teeth now! Mommy thought I had four teeth coming in, but they were just wide teeth, there were only two. Eight teeth at ten months isn't half bad! Everyday I eat more and more stuff. We were at a picnic on Sunday and I got to eat real chicken from mommy's plate. It was delicious! Much better than the jarred stuff.

Well, I should go to bed. I have a long day of chasing toddlers at daycare tomorrow!

Nine Plus Months

So I've been very busy over the week. Last Thursday Daddy took me to swim class. It was so much fun. He's so silly and doesn't really know any real words to my songs. Come to think of it, Mommy doesn't really either. Anyway, it was funny to see him hanging out with all the other mommies. My daddy is fun!

After swimming, Nanny was at my house. She brought me all kinds of new clothes. Yea for Nanny. Mommy and Daddy went out and I proceeded to start crawling! I haven't figured out how to get my belly off the ground, but I can pretty much terrorize the dogs, steal cell phones, and make sure Mommy and Daddy are ALWAYS paying attention to me! See for yourself...


I still think being thrown in the air is laugh out loud funny!



On Saturday afternoon, I was supposed to be taking a nap. Mommy thought I was asleep, but then she heard me giggling! When she came up stairs, she caught me red-handed. I was sitting up in my crib, laughing my head off. Mommy was so shocked that she didn't have time to get the camera. I've finally gotten so good at it that I can do it anytime.



Granted it's alot easier when I'm not on the wood floor. Sitting up on my own has opened up a whole new world for me. I can see where my toys go when I throw them out of the crib. I can spy Mommy and Daddy coming to check on me, and I can reach the wall outlets pretty easily!

I've also learned how to drink out of a sippy cup. Mommy keeps trying to film it, but I won't let her. I still need help lifting the cup up. Maybe when I'm good at it, I'll show a vid.

The last thing I learned this past week was how to eat a real apple. Mommy has been giving me this funky thing for weeks and I thought I was supposed to bang it on the tray and then throw it on the floor. Well, no, it's actually stuffed with apples and when you eat them through this funky thing you don't choke. Who knew?


Well that's all for now. I'm getting on my parents case for not snapping too many photos of me lately...slackers.Next week I'll be ten months old. Maybe I'll start walking by then...I'm trying real hard to stand on my own.

My Quadridexterity

So Daddy caught me playing with my cube in my crib. I was holding it in my feet and beating on it like a drum. Nanny just bought me a drum, so I drum on everything now. Anyway, Daddy tried to get me in action..I think he succeeded.


It's been kind of a busy week. Mommy and Daddy actually went a whole week without taking a picture of me. The nerve of them! Friday I went to work with Mommy almost all day. I had a blast! I was held and fed by alot of different people. One time I was laughing so hard, Mommy could hear me all the way across the room. Then Daddy came to pick me up. When he saw me, he threw me up in the air. I thought some of Mommy's residents were going to have a heart attack. I thought it was funny.

In other news, my doggie, Boulder, just keeps getting more and more pathetic. Don't get me wrong. He's a good dog and all. He doesn't eat my toys, but he does lick my face alot more than I prefer. Lately though, he's been clamoring for attention from my mommy and daddy. He even went as far to steal my bib!
Just look at him! Like my parents would mistake you, a hairy beast, for me! Boulder, you have taken pathetic to a whole new level. Now, give me my bib back!

My Boulder

Every time my doggie, Boulder, walks by, I giggle. He's so funny looking. Sometimes he likes to get real close to me.
First, he sniffs me...to make sure I'm the right baby, I guess.
Then he licks my face. Yuk!I'm not sure why he's so licky, but I think it has to do with not getting my face washed off after eating.
Stop it! That tickles!
I love to pick toys up with my feet. Mommy says I'm quadridextrous...is that even a word?!?!My latest favorite thing is standing. I can't pull myself up yet, but I'm trying. I need someone nearby too, 'cause sometimes I fall from standing...oops!Bye for now!

The Latest in Video!

So, I told you before, I started a swimming class. Yesterday was my third class. I finally figured out that when I go under London Bridge, that I actually go under the water. Now, I remember to shut my mouth and I don't swallow any water. No sputtering for me! These vids are from last week. I'm still a little green to the swimming concept in them. Hopefully Daddy will come again and you can see my progress!



Recently, I figured out I can walk around in my activity center. Sometimes it's easier to go backwards! But it's really fun and I can play with any toys I want! Of course, sometimes I get obsessed with things that are not my toys, like a tag from Daddy's work stuff...



I have a cute little pink dog. I haven't given him an official name yet, but I like Pinky Tuscadero... don't ask my why. Mommy and Daddy have let me start napping with him. Apparently we wrestle in my sleep. It seems Pinky may have won. Can you believe Mommy took my picture with a flash and woke me up!?!? Oh well, we had to go straight to swim class anyway!


After class yesterday I had my nine month check up! I weigh 17 pounds, 13 ounces and I'm 28.5 inches long! Mommy says I need a new car seat! I'm not crawling forward yet, but I'm getting real close!

Hangin' Outside

Yesterday I turned nine months old! Mommy and Daddy keep saying I'm getting too big, but I still can't stand as tall as them, so I'm not sure what they are talking about. We had no plans this weekend, but on Saturday, Mommy and I went to see Halina and Tracey and we went to a consignment sale. I loved checking out all the clothes and I think I put almost every tag in my mouth. On Sunday, we visited more friends and even hung out with my future hubby, Collin, and his family. Collin is fun, but his big brother, Jake, keeps me entertained. Their mommy, Miss Amy, took pictures so I'll post them as soon as I get them.
Today, I went to Mommy's work in the afternoon. I had a blast and skipped my afternoon nap. I played with the housekeepers. They put me in a big rolling laundry cart with a bunch of warm towels and let me jump around. Mommy said she could hear me laughing down the hallway. Then they fed me Ritz crackers. All I have to say is yum-o.
So after we got home today, I was so wound up, Mommy took me outside. I love rolling off the nice big blanket and picking grass. I pick it with my hands.
Then I try to eat it:)
I even pick it with my toes.

I'm off to wreak havoc at daycare tomorrow...wish me luck!

I'm Wacco for Flacco

Mommy says I'm a football fan. And right now pretty much what Mommy or Daddy says, goes. In my house we are Ravens fans. They won their season opener this year with a rookie quarterback. It was very exciting...at least the first quarter was and then I napped for the rest of the day.

Boulder is a fan too!

He has a big mouth ...

And stinky breath!

Here's Mommy and I watching the game. Okay, I played with my toys, I wasn't glued to the TV or anything!
See, Boulder's a fan too! Riley was no where to be seen during the game. She hides when Mommy cheers for some reason. Look out Houston here we come!
