My First Visit to the State Park

Today I went to the state park near my house...Yes, my parents have lived here for almost 6 years and this is the first time they've visited. We had a great time! Aunt Chris, Uncle Larry and Auntie Anne went with us. We took the 3.1 mile loop so everyone got lots of exercise.

My daddy is a geek so he took his GPS and tracked our route. He then downloaded the points to Google Earth. Here's a picture of our path on Google Earth...pretty neat!

Oh yeah...we went out after our walk....mommy had a margarita.

Here are some pics...

Teeth

We've had quite the week with little CC...she has all kinds of teeth in her mouth and these are just the one's we can see.

Duck Hunting

I love my ducks...check out my hat.

I love to read!

Check out my outfit!

How about this "not pink" outfit? I really like the red and animal print. Aunt Chris, what do you think?

Whose house is it?

Yes, CC has officially taken over the Nutz and Crackerz casa. As you can see from the pictures, we've put up 3 gates and a "fence" around the tv. CC loves the frames and Bose stereo. Also, take note who has the most "stuff" on the coat rack. :-)

Happy Birthday Grammy!

7 Month Pictures

Mommy updated my 7 month picture folder, if you're interested.

Bath Time

I love bath time...it's a time for me to play with all of my rubber duckies. I have a family of ducks that light up. Kaitlyn gave those to my mommy before I was born...they're really cool. I also have some rubber duckies that my Uncle David gave to me. I play with them in my playroom.

Here are some bathtime pictures. Enjoy.

My First Baby Gate

Tonight, my daddy put up the first of 3 baby gates. This one is at the top of the stairs so I don't go tumbling down. Here are some pictures...notice that I was helping him with the level. I'm going to be like mommy, a stickler for the details. :-)

It's Snowing

I thought I saw snow flurries on my drive home from work. I'm sitting in the office/playroom and all of a sudden...lots of snow flurries.

Congratulations Steve, Amy and Mia

Baby Chloe joined her family on Monday, January 14 at 8:04 am. She weighed 8 lbs 6 oz.

Congratulations!!

A look into the future....

Driving With Dad

Nutz, who worked away from home all week, always made a special effort with his family on the weekends. Every Sunday morning he would take his 7-year old daughter out for a drive in the car for some bonding time.

One particular Sunday however, he had a bad cold and he really didn't feel like being up at all. Luckily, his wife came to the rescue and said that she would take their daughter out for some Krispy Kreams. When they returned, the little girl anxiously ran upstairs to see her father.

"Well," the father asked, "did you enjoy your ride and dough nutz with mommy?"

"Oh yes, Daddy" the girl replied, "and do you know what? We didn't see a single dumb bastard or lousy shit head!"

It's Official...

CC can crawl. Yes, you read right. CC crawled today. While Nutz was at work, CC and I were hanging out in the "new room". She was playing on her mat and I was doing some work on the computer. Before I knew it, she was next to me under the desk (see picture). I know...we'll need to do something about all the wires...I'll get right to it.

Once Nutz got home, I wanted to make sure it wasn't a fluke. NOPE, she crawled for him also. Granted, she was crawling towards the jewelry (his wedding ring). Nonetheless, she's now crawling. Where are the gates?

Life as we once knew it is GONE! :-)

CAUTION: The video is PG-13...Nutz says a bad word.

New Addition Pictures

You Won't Believe This...

but there is such a thing as the Whitetrash Mom Blog. I had a good laugh reading some of the blog posts. I particularly liked the post about "Moobs" or Man Boobs at White Trash Mom's House.

If you're not whitetrash but just plain Jane, go to the Plain Jane Mom Blog.

Just remember, there's a website for everyone. :-)

Our New Chair

Our chair finally arrived and it sure is comfortable. If you're interested, we ordered it from USA Baby. They have lots of styles and materials to choose from. Mommy had fun!

Watch me grow!
