My trip to the Abilene Zoo

Today I got to go to the zoo with my cousins! We saw lots of animals and even feed some. We had a great time. After the zoo, we went to the park and had a picnic then played for a bit.

Happy Easter!

I got to spend easter with my aunt and some cousins. We went outside and hunted eggs. I wasn't too sure why we did that because Mom wouldn't let me have any of the candy anyway. Oh well, I had fun anyway!



Hey, look what I found!











Why do I need to crawl over there, I have this one.


Thanks to my cousins' help I got my basket full.

CPS is not needed

Oh the joys of learning to walk. This is just the first of what I'm sure will be MANY MANY more and probably a lot worse. Let's just hope my head can survive it.

Ouch! What a mark that left.

As you can tell, it isn't slowing me down though.

First loooooooong road trip

We got to go visit Gamma in Wichita, KS over spring break. Once we finally got there, we had a great time.


Don't be fooled! I didn't travel this happy the whole trip.

My first time out of the great state of TEXAS!



And I made it to another state in the same day! Did I tell you it was a long trip?

We saw some of their indian culture around town.

Then we got to go to the park and feed the ducks. I was a little scared of them at first.

Gamma and I feeding the ducks. I had fun!

MMM...fruit cocktail

Fruit cocktail has become my favorite food to eat. I'm working on getting it in my mouth, lefthanded nonetheless, but am still a little messy, as you can you tell.

Grandpa is so much fun!

Grandpa came to visit me. We always have so much fun, but he wore me out.

Sleeping like an angle (with my butt in the air, as always!)

Early mode of transportation

I may not have perfect form, but I can definitely get from one point to another. This is just a short demo of my new accomplishment.

I love playing with the giraffe, and especially dancing to the music.

It's my party!

I had a great party and thanks to all who came to help me celebrate!

My birthday cakes and balloons.

Daddy and me with our birthday hats on!

That cake sure looked good! But I didn't like they way it felt. :(

The happy family!

ONE YEAR OLD!

One year old! Can you believe how time flies! At my one year check up, I had lost some weight since I've been sick and not eating. I had made it up to 19 lbs 2 oz, but am back down to 18 lbs even now. I'm 27 3/4 inches long. I am back down in the 5th percentile for height and weight for my age. I have my daddy's head though and am in the 50th percentile for my head circumference.

I've started "army crawling" a little to help get around so I don't have to roll all the time. If you help me stand up, I can hold on for a short time. I've started eating table food for most of my meals.

Look Mom! I can stand and hold on by myself.

Always happy! I love to play with my new toys from Christmas.

Vroom! Vroom! This police car is so much fun!

My one year portraits.

Make a wish!

My first Christmas

Could I have possibly been this good? I think so! I made many miles, saw family members I hadn't seen in a while and met new family members I hadn't met yet. It could have only been better if I hadn't been feeling bad still.

WOW! Santa came through for me







Being spoiled by Uncle Doug






I love my sock monkey!

Who should I call?

My first visit with Santa

Like every good boy, I had to go plead my case with Santa and tell him how good I've been. I wasn't too sure about him, though. I stayed long enough to tell him everything I wanted, and then I wanted Momma and Daddy again.

11 months!

I'm 11 months old! Why crawl? I can get anywhere I want to go rolling. And boy, I can go places! I've had my first bout of sickness and had to start taking breathing treatments.

10 Months old!

I am now 10 months old! And on the move! I roll all over the place. I can sit up all by myself, that is until I want to lay down and then I usually just fall over so I can start rolling. I have started pushing up on all fours and rocking and as soon as I can figure it out, I'll take off crawling. As you will see in the video, I have a best friend, Auggie. We love to play with each other. I love it when I get to touch Raider, our cat, but he usually doesn't come near. Hope you enjoy the pictures and video!

"Mommy's Little Monster" on Halloween




My first biter biscuit, aka teething biscuit. I love making a huge mess with these things!

I am able to stand for a very short time if you'll help me.

















Sometimes I get tired of standing and just fall down.

















My tongue is always on the move, in and out like a lizzard.
