How we communicate!

New Foods

So, mommy has me trying a couple of new foods. I've tried sweet potatoes (only once...they stopped me up) and green beans. The green beans are yummy and I've been eating them everyday since Saturday.

Oyster Roast

On Saturday, we went to our friends, the Monahan's, for an oyster roast. Here are some pictures...notice that my mommy isn't in any of them. :-)

New Stroller

Check out the new stroller! Ok...so this is the picture from the website. As soon as my parents put mine together, I'll have them take a picture. If interested, mommy purchased it from www.strollerideas.com.

Helping out in the kitchen...

Tonight I helped out in the kitchen. Okay, so I all I did was sit in my chair. It was fun!

Three Ways to Raise an Avid Reader

Here's a great article on how to raise an avid reader.

Congratulations, Daddy!

Today, mommy and I attended my daddy's promotion to LCDR. Congratulations! We are very proud of you!

Love,
Crackerz and CC

Paul Tibbets and Nutz

For those of you who aren't familiar with retired Brigadier General Paul W. Tibbets Jr., he was the pilot who bombed Hiroshima. Nutz had the fortune to meet him at an air show in Muskegon, MI a couple of years ago (picture above). He passed away on November 1 at the age of 92.

Keep your fingers crossed...

that I'm finally sleeping through the night. Last night, my daddy put me to bed at 7:45 and I slept until 4 am with no interruptions...that's a record for me. In fact, at 2 am my mommy woke up because she hadn't heard from me. I was fine...just sleeping. Mommy fed me at 4 and I slept until 7:30. I know mommy hopes that I'm finally getting on a sleeping schedule...one that means I sleep through the night. We'll see.

Election Day nears..

I hope my mommy and daddy make good choices for my future. See how thier friends are voting and vote yourself on my daddy's blog .

My First Halloween Costume

My mommy's friend, Marybeth, sent me this beautiful dress from Hawaii. So, mommy thought it'd be cute for me to be a Hawaiian girl for Halloween. No, we didn't go trick-or-treating but I did get dressed up for my parents. Enjoy the pictures. Oh yeah! Mommy was a slacker about trimming my nails (it's only been 6 days since the last trim) and I scratched my face today! It adds character. :-)

Sippy Cup Practice

Since I won't drink from a bottle, mommy thought she'd let me practice with a sippy cup! I think it makes a great toy!

I love to eat!

Look at my tooth! Can you believe it?

Tummy Time

I love playing with my tummy time gym...it's so much fun!

Mommy Loves Me

Proof Their Work

Thanks, Mr. Y! This is hilarious!

Halloween 2007 in FL

I couldn't resist...my sister-in-law sent me these pictures of my nephews. Aren't they adorable?

Going Home

I'm sad (and happy) that Uncle Brian is finished with his job here and moving back to FL to be with his family. We'll miss you!!

Breakfast time...

or so mommy thought. She tried to feed me cereal this morning but I didn't want any...why should I take cereal from mommy when I can have...

Special Daddy-Time

I love the special time I spend with my daddy each night during "bathtime at the Ocean View Baby Spa".

Working on the computer...

Yes, mommy already has me working on the computer...guess you can never be too prepared for preschool. :-)

The Pumpkin Patch

Today, my friend, Bella, and I went to the pumpkin patch! Our folks went, too and Miss Vicki. It was a fun time...at first I didn't think Bella was going to wake up to enjoy it but she did! We even went on a hayride!

Here are some pictures from our first pumpkin patch visit!

Bebe Pod

I'm finally big enough that I can sit up and play with my bebe pod toy...here are some pictures. NOTE: My parents DID NOT leave me alone on the counter. My mommy was sitting right by me!

Oh no...not the bouncy chair!

Well, it seems that I've done something I'm not supposed to...mom finally took off the "fun stuff" from the bouncy chair. I learned how to pull myself up...wouldn't be too long and I'd turn over. Here are some pictures of me caught in the act.

Upside Down

Yes, that's me...hanging upside down on my mommy's lap. The world sure looks different this way!

I love my crazy daddy!

I love hanging out with my daddy when I wake up in the morning. My mommy took some pictures of us playing around.

Roll Over...

Watch me roll over...

Hanging out!

This is me hanging out while my daddy puts together my crib and my mommy supervises. :-)

I rolled over...

from my back to my belly yesterday (October 23). Mommy forgot to put this on the blog. Here are some pictures that she took of me this afternoon right after I rolled over.
