Happy Belated Valentines Day

Valentines Day was fun! We went to IKEA!! (Which is Mommy's new favorite store) OBVIOUSLY, because it took us 2 whole hours just to walk thru the place. But I did get a push toy & some storage containers for my toys!! Then we went to Austin on the way back. It was a Happy First Valentines Day for me!!

CLAPPY HANDS

Yesterday I found a new word - UH OH! I drop things on the floor & say that and the most amazing thing happens - people will pick up whatever I dropped so I can do it again!! Then today I found something else I can do! I can CLAP!!!

Just me.. pretending to crawl.

I like to do a crawl type thing. Its mostly a be on my tummy and go backwards kind of thing but it is what works for me so don't knock it unless you've tried it.. okay... I also have a new smile - its a simple smile really. I just suck in my lips & smile. It seems to get attention so I like it.

A table.. for me?

Okay, this being a baby thing is working out pretty good for me. My big big brother Logan was so nice he dug through the garage to find this train table & then put it together - during the SUPERBOWL.. Apparently that is a pretty big deal. Anyways, its neat - I don't have a train on it cuz Mommy says I am too little but I do get to put my toys on it & stand up - but not on the table! Gosh, I LOVE to stand!!

I love fishies....

I still love fish. Mommy took me to the pet store & all I cared about was seeing all the fish! There are LOTS!!

Dalton bought this fish for me in his class with tickets he earned for being good & getting good grades. He is a nice brother!!

New Shoes

Thursday was Mommy & Daddy's anniversary. I got new shoes - a pair of "Green piggies" & a pair of "Polliwogs". I can't decide which pair I like better!! What do you think? I wore the gray ones to the Rodeo!

My first Rodeo! I saw the bull riding & fell asleep for the Pat Green concert.

I am also an excellent spitter. It is my answer to most anything you ask me! It is so much fun & everyone laughs.. except Mommy does not laugh that much about me spitting on her..

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to Me, Liam! I am Nine Months old today!!

Happy Thursday!!

I can walk around in my crib! Can you believe I am old enough to walk? I have to hold on to the sides but I can do it! I like to walk from fish bowl to fish bowl.. Mommy said she will put a video on here this weekend! Stay tuned!

A Sleepytime Picture...

Its been a while since you have seen how cute I am when I am sleeping....

p.s. please click on the google ad - i can get paid for it!! woohoo!!

Mommy made me make dinner.

Standing Up!

Just because I can... stand.. up.. by myself...

Koi

Today we went to the Japanese Tea Gardens. They finally have it fixed back up & they have lots and lots of fishies.. They are very big fishies. They are called koi and I want some. I like fishies. I like them a lot. A whole lot..

Look at me!!

My new diaper!

Daddy ordered me some new diapers (they are called Goodmamas - cuz if your mama buys them for you she is a good mama - ha - get it - good - mama??!!). They came today! Hooray for "Fluffy Mail" - that is what it is called when your cloth diaper stuff gets put in your mailbox!!

I wanted to look at it but it was hard to see over this weird thing they call my tummy! BTW, who knows who this high pitched "tummy bunny" coming to get you guy is? Mommy made it up & now EVERYBODY is on the band wagon.. Sometimes its funny but geez..

Handmade Goodness!

a note from Mommy:

Bird and Little Bird is hosting a swap of handmade toys and children’s items to raise awareness about the problems caused by the CPSIA. For those of you that are not aware of what is going on with this law that is getting ready to go into effect in Feb here is a basic rundown:

The law was written with the intent to protect children from cheap plastic toys made with lead but it is ending up with unintended consequences like threatening small businesses, resale venues, and artisans who make and sell handmade children's items. I'm not sure that you know but there are still people out here that make toys and clothes by hand on a regular basis. I am one of them! In this day & age many people have the mindset of "who would make things when you can buy them so much more cheaply and quickly"? This new law will affect everything from the toys and shirts that I make for Liam right down to his cloth diapers! Literally, I would no longer legally be able to even trade for his knit pants.. How sad & silly is that?

At any rate, please be aware of what is going on in our government & read her blog post here for more details. Please go to www.change.org & vote to support handmade!

I can STAND!!!

This morning i was playing in my crib(because i NEVER SLEEP in there) & guess what i did?

I PULLED MYSELF UP!! So.. I am not sure who was more surprised. Mommy or me? But now that I can do that - watch out world!

My new hudson hat & longies!

My first time at the park!

The swing was so much fun. It was kind of cold so I had to wear my hat. Mommy said when Ashton doesn't have her crutches and its warmer we can stay longer!! Oh. and can you tell Mommy got a new camera today? Whatya think??!!

This one is too funny not to post..

oops! I got caught!!!!

My brother Logan...

Tonight Logan went to Cotillion. He was all dressed up fancy schmancy and I stayed home & ate chicken & mashed potatoes..

Dada & Mama
