Around and Around We Go

While shopping in Indiana, I spotted a Merry Go Round.

As you can see, we went more than once (hence the change of car and outfit).

So fun!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!!

Goin' For A Ride

Taking a trip around the house.
First I have to hold onto Dad's ears.

Alright Dad...giddy up!!!

Snuggle Time

Between all of my teeth and the cold I just caught, I'm needing a little snuggling.

Good thing Mom is always up for that!

A Door Just My Size

"Lookout Miles, Maxi, and Charlie, I'm coming through!"

Kitchen Utensils

Which one should I use?

Gymboree

I've started to go to Gymboree once a week for about three weeks now. I think I have it to thank for a lot of my new found confidence. Can't wait for next time!

A Little Explanation

The next three videos show what a few days can do as far as confidence goes. I have been cruising around furniture and standing/walking by holding one of Mom or Dad's fingers for the longest time. It wasn't until very recently that I discovered I could stand without holding onto anything at all (with a lot of encouragement). I have taken a few steps but am much more comfortable crawling right now. I don't think it will be long though until I am taking on the house by foot rather than by knee!

You mean I can stand on my own?

With a little help (and lots of encouragement) I am learning that I can stand (on purpose) without holding on!

No Help Necessary...

I am now able to stand up in the middle of a room without pulling myself up first--just not so sure what to do once I'm up.

So Confident, I could Laugh ...Literally

As you can tell, I am quite proud of my ability to stand. Look out world!

My First Steps!

I've recently gotten up the courage to finally let go and stand on my own.
I went even further by taking about five steps!

I am so proud of myself that I clap and squeal when I practice.

Love those Magnetic Letters

Check out those Pearly Whites!

I'm sure you've been noticing by my latest pictures that I am getting a mouthful of teeth. Mom isn't even sure how many I have yet because I won't let her look (the only way she can see is if Dad holds me upside down). Whatever the count, there are a bunch. No wonder I've been a little cranky lately!

Trip to Oregon

We just got back from Oregon to celebrate Grandma and Aunt Tammara's birthdays. I am getting pretty good at traveling.
I had a great time with everyone. Here is a picture of me and Aunt Em.

I love playing with my cousins Calvin and Sam.

Happy Birthday Grandma Nadine!

Buckin' Bronco

Go horsey go!
I'm ready for the real thing!

A Little More Practice

So, I'm still not walking (alone anyway) but I'm getting close. (As you can see I'm barely holding on.) Mom and Dad have determined that I don't do anything without being 100% sure. Mom thinks I'm going to be a perfectionist like my dad. What's wrong with that?

Ready for Gymnastics?

I love to stand on my head and giggle.
Peek a boo!

Spaghetti

Mom and Dad have discovered that I am much more willing to

eat different things if I can do it myself.
I don't see what all the fuss is about...this is easy!

Who Knew Clean up Could be Fun?

Helping Mom put away our village Christmas snow.
I think I got it all.

Hey..how did that get up there?
