Hadley and I

Hadley and I had so much fun playing! We haven't seen each other in a long time so there were lots of hugs! Mommy says I have to be nice to girls, so I let her give me hugs and kisses!

Swimming with Daddy!

I got to go swimming at my cousin Lizzie's birthday party. I had so much fun swimming with daddy! He would go under the water and I would just laugh, because I couldn't find him! I was pretty brave I would put my face all the way under the water! I had so much fun swimming with my daddy, I told Lizzie to have a 9 year old one week birthday party next week so we can do it again!

Me and my Piggy Bank

Mommy and Daddy had lots of change sitting in a big container in their bedroom, so they decided that we would put lots of money in my piggy bank! I loved to put money in my piggy bank, so much so that mommy kept opening it and taking some coins out so that I could put them back in! Daddy says that I am going to be Mr. Crab's Jr. (Mommy calls daddy Mr. Crabs)! I just can't wait until mommy and daddy gives me more money to put in it, it is my new favorite game! Now I just have to figure out how to get it out!

Fall Love

It was so nice out on Tuesday that after I got done spending the day with Grandma Joan I got to play outside at home with mommy and daddy! I love to run around, climb up the porch steps, run in the rocks and down the grass hill in the front yard! I make mommy nervous when I climb up the steps because I sometimes get daring and try to go down the steps like a big person! I wish it was like this out all year round, then I could just romp and roam without having to be all bundled up! I would have loved to play in the leaves but mommy and daddy have racked them up before it snows, they ruin all of my fun!

Lounging Around

I love lounging around on my ched. Mommy loves it when I lounge around as well, she says it is the only time that I sit still for more than 10 seconds. I am a very active boy, can you believe that I weigh 24 pounds 10 oz!?!?!? I can't, I think the doctors scale is wrong :)

Mommy caught me lounging with my popper before bathtime tonight!

Before and After

Before

After

Mommy was very sad to realize how old I look when my hairs are cut! She really couldn't believe how much older I look when those few little hairs are tammed! So I wanted to include a before and after picture, they are not on the same day but they are within three days of each other!

Sunday Morning...

Sunday morning mommy and daddy found me in my crib with no pants on and only one sock on! They thought it was pretty funny, so mommy decided to take pictures of me. I couldn't just wait for mommy to get her camera and take pictures of me, so I went on with my day, brushing my teeth and getting in my morning milk! I enjoy walking around with no pants on! Mommy says that I should while I can still get away with it! Daddy says you can always get away with it, just don't invite people over :)

Halloween '09

I was a Gorilla for Halloween, the friendlest looking Gorilla
that anyone has ever seen! I had a little trouble walking
at first so I had fallen down a few times and had a little bit
of trouble standing back up. Daddy and mommy were so
impressed with how well I went into my Gorilla costume
and I didn't even try to take off the head piece of the
costume. Here is a picture of my mommy and daddy with
me, I think I was adopted ;)

So happy!

So happy in my new cute... I mean manly jammies :)

Carving Pumpkins!

Mommy and I decided to carve pumpkins... I really didn't mind it for the first couple of minutes (actually about the time that it took her to cut the top off of the pumpkin). I then decided that I didn't like it very much. I included a picture of my daddy's face, he really DISLIKES carving pumpkins, he even dislikes the smell of pumpkins! He made these funny faces a lot, they made me laugh. So we hid in the bedroom while mommy carved two of the three pumpkins, she decided that it wasn't very much fun to carve pumpkins alone! She is hoping that Porter enjoys carving pumpkins next year, so that someone will share in the joy of Halloween...

GRAPES!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE grapes... So much that Nana Pammy bought me grapes for Halloween (don't worry she said I would get candy as well...) When I see grapes I have to have them, mommy has to hide them in the shopping cart when I go to the store with her otherwise I SCREAM for them! Mommy tries to cut them in half for me so that I don't choke, but as you can see, I take them and eat them whole! I really love the big sweet ones that are in season right now! I think it is funny to bite into them and see them squirt juice across the room!

For you!

Mommy the phone is for you... Sometimes I have to remind my mommy that I am ready for bed, I DEMAND my nums (pacifer), snuggle on Reese and get really crabby... this time I decided that I would have my crib call and tell her that I was sleepy!

Good Helper

Mommy was going through my old clothes to see what would fit my little brother and I thought that it was so much fun to climb in and out of the totes!

Mommy was so glad to have me help, I would empty the totes, I would just throw out what I thought he could wear... which was everything!

I liked it so much I decided to make it feel a little more like home... my sippy cup of milk and a Thomas book, now all I need is Pablo and my nums!

Brotherly love!

I really love to give my baby brother Porter kisses. So mommy decided to try and take pictures of the both of us! It didn't go very well, I didn't want to sit still long enough for my mom to take them and Porter is making a funny face! But she thinks it is too cute, so I decided to post one anyways... If you like to see my brother on my blog, you should check him out on his blog - portermax.blogspot.com

Multi-tasker

Mommy thought that I looked pretty silly... Cooking, riding on my giraffe all while watching Backyardigans! I am a great multi-tasker, what can I say?!?!?!

My Chair

My Great Grandpa got me this chair for my birthday! I love it so much, to sit in it, stand in it and rock in it! Mommy and daddy tell me that I have to stay sitting in it otherwise I don't get it! As you can see they really hold up their side of the threat! I mean I know I am not going to get hurt, I am a very good climber, so they shouldn't worry so much!

Grandma was trying to hold me down... I say no, no grandma!

Gorilla!

Hello everyone I went to bed as a little boy and woke up a Gorilla! I know I was just as shocked as you are... The most shocking thing of all is that just my head became Gorilla... Mommy said that on the 31st of October I will turn all Gorilla and that I can carry around a banana every where I go (because apparently Gorilla's really like banana's, but I bet not as much as me!), for now I will just carry around my shoe and pretend to eat it!

Since I became part Gorilla I thought it would be funny to try and scare my puppy Reese. Unfortunately he didn't get very scared, so I decided that I would just snuggle with him! I think that he was pretty happy to have a Gorilla as a friend, now he can take on big bullie's like Maddison :)

No more ice cream!

I was really sad when daddy told me that all the Coldstone Ice Cream was gone! I like Ice Cream a lot, but I LOVE Coldstone Ice Cream... I mean really LOVE it!

Playdate!

Candon came to New Ulm, to stay with Grandma Joan, so he came to my house to play! I was so excited to play with Candon, I haven't seen him since my birthday party in August!

Here we are playing on the my couch, Candon loved it so much, I think I am going to have my mommy find him a Mickey Mouse one! He loves Mickey....
I was a little bit mean to Candon... My mommy had to have a talk with me about being nice... I just thought that he was trying to be like Reese laying on the floor, and this is what I do to Reese, so I was just a little bit confused!

I let Candon push me around in my Tonka Truck....

and we were pretending to be Fire Fighters with my Fire Engine. There weren't any fires, we tried to talk Porter into making a fire so that we could put it out... He wouldn't though...

Candon and I had so much fun playing together, we have decided that we are going to talk to our parents about moving to the same town so that we can play together every day! I mean isn't that what you have cousins for?

Spongebob

I LOVE spongebob, well actually I just love the song in the beginning! Mommy says that I zone out when that song comes on! Well what little boy wouldn't love dancing and bouncing to that tune?

Home Sick :(

Yesterday I had to go to the doctor because I was having a hard time breathing! I found out that I have Bronchitis, I am not really sure what that means, except that I have to wear a silly mask that fogs some medicine into my lungs... Mommy calls it a Neb, I call it a gas mask! But because I was sick yesterday, I get to stay home with mommy, Porter and Reese today! It sure is great! Mommy feels so bad for me I get to do pretty much whatever I want to do....

....like sharing my get better juice with Reese!

...playing with daddy's old cell phone!

...I even get to walk around with my Nuk

I love being home with mommy so much, I think that I am going to talk to my daddy about having her stay home all day everyday with us! I know that Porter would love it as well... I mean daddy should love it, she would be home to make him lunch and do laundry and keep the house clean (or that is what we will tell dad, really it would be to just play, play, play).
