9 Months Old!

I am 9 months old tomorrow! I already went to the doctor on Friday. I am still 29 inches long and weigh 19 1/2 lbs. So maybe mom and dad were a little off on their own calculations at 7 and 8 months or maybe I just haven't grown much! :) I have been learning many new things lately. I can scoot to where ever I want to go. I normally get around the army crawling way! I have also been waking up from my naps and deciding to sit up in my crib and play. There are some pictures of me and Mama in Holland with Grandpa and Grandma while Dada was in Florida at a conference.

Fun at the beach!

A walk on the trestle by Great Gram's old house!

Yum, these apples are good!

Austin in his leather ;) Fun with Grandpa

Me and Uncle Kyle!

Two front Teeth!

Here are a couple of pictures of my top two front toophers coming in! :) I am very glad that they have already popped through. It was painful! But I am feeling much better now and Dada and Mama have been saying that it is making me look more like a little boy! Yahooo! :)

It has begun!

Mama took this picture this afternoon. I have learned how to get up on my knees and have been moving back and forth in this position trying to crawl. I think I moved about a foot today and reached my goal; I got my toy! :) Life is good!

8 1/2 Months Old

Mama and Dada measured me and weighed me at 8 months old and found out that I had not gained any weight or grown at all since 7 months. I am still 20 lbs. and 29 inches long. :) Here are a few of pictures of me when mama had put me on the kitchen floor for a couple of minutes while cooking and the papertowel roll fell close enough to me for me to grab it and unroll it. Who knew it could be so much fun! :) There are a couple more of me and one of dada after a nice walk with our shades!

Daddy's Birthday--Labor Day Weekend

This weekend was Daddy's birthday! We celebrated it while we were camping with Daddy's side of the family! We had a lot of fun taking walks, watching the fire, going swimming. There were some "firsts" for Levi and I while we were at the camp ground. I ate a whole cheerio (actually ate a lot of Levi's whole cheerios-thanks for sharing Levi), I tried ice cream for the first time and loved it! I wanted my own bowl, but mama said no. Levi danced for the first time. He loved moving to the music. It was so much fun!

Happy Birthday DADDY!! I love you!

Having fun playing some cards! :)

We could not sit still! We're boys! :)

Daddy's head feels really cool right now. We decided it was time to get down and play in the picture on the left.

Here's a picture of me and Nana and another one of Uncle Joel and I!

What a beautiful day to stretch out and relax on a blanket! There were acorns dropping from hundreds of feet (at least that is what it seemed like) from above my head. I was waiting but never got pegged! :)

Here's mama and I on a cool swing!

They had a dance party at the campground Sunday night and Levi really liked dancing all over; even on the picnic table! :)

Daddy said that I should wear sunscreen before I went swimming. I did not like having it rubbed all over my face.

One of our favorite things is to ride on our daddy's shoulders!

Sitting in own big chair! :)

Daddy told me to make a face, so I did! Cheese :)

Here's cousin Levi and Aunt Paula

Like Father like Son! :)

The boys and the mamas

Playing on the bed!

Relaxation at its best!
