An Upstanding Citizen

Look at me, standing on my own! Here I am, standing at my big toy. And here I am standing with the help of my favorite chair.

Christmas - Early!

Look! Grandma sent me all of my Christmas presents early! Thought I'd do a few diaper poses in front of my gifts... These presents look like fun!!! Ohhhh I can't wait to open them!

Vlaun Family Fun

Me and Grammie (or Hommie, to some). We're snuggling. Here's cousin Brookies dancing with her Fufffuff and Hophop.

Choo choo

Grandpa is giving me a ride in my toy box! Choo choo!! I love my Grandpa!

The T-Day Feast

Here we all are, sitting down to feast! The other half of the Thanksgiving day table. What a pretty table!

Cooking the bird

Grandpa and I are watching the crazy people fry the turkey. Here are the crazy people frying a turkey. Thank goodness, my daddy, Uncle Mark and Grampy had everything under control the entire time and nothing blew up, and the turkey tasted great! It didn't hurt that Uncle Mark took out flying turkey insurance, too.

Swinging

Here are cousin Brooke and Aunt Kristen swinging on the swings in our backyard. It was so fun playing with Brooke this weekend!

I like to eat eat eat - Apples and Squash!

Please sir, may I have some more? Oh, there is no more? Well this bowl looks mighty tasty... Mmmm mmmm yummy - tastes like apples. tee hee hee (and yes, that is squash on my forehead)

You want a piece of me, daddy?

It may look like I'm picking a fight with daddy, but we're really just playing Eskimo Kisses.

My new high chair

YAY! My new high chair arrived this evening. Mommy put it together, and I ate my first dinner in my new chair. It's very cool! Look at all the fun things to do...

Daddy is a playground...

I love my daddy. Yippie! What an awesome jungle gym.

Lost in the middle of a chore

Here I am, hiding from mommy among the clean clothes. Ohno! I think she found me. These clothes are warm and cuddly and they smell so gooood.

More mirror pics...

Mommy loves mirror pictures.

Makin' the Bed

Here I am helping mommy and daddy make their bed. Actually, don't tell them, but this is my conspiracy to get them to let me sleep here. I'm just going to sit here as long as I can, and I'm not going anywhere. It's sooo warm and comfortable.

Goofin' Around

Do you think this fishy will share his dinner with me? Yummmmmmmmm. Hey, do you like my mullet?

Mooooooo

Just kidding! I'm a giraffe - can you tell? Totally a Phi Sig at heart. Happy Halloween!

Hooray for Healthy Babies!

Here I am, festively eating dinner. Mommy and Daddy took me to see Dr Steadman today for an appointment. He said I look healthy and "perfect"! They measured me at 12lbs 12oz and 25 and 3/4in. That makes me 10th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height. Does that make me a string bean? Must be. The doctor also gave me lots of shots that made me cranky. But hopefullyI won't get sick now since I've had my shots. Dr Steadman said it doesn't worry him that I've lost my voice. He thinks I'll get it back soon. He said that's perfectly common for a fall cold.

Look Ma! No Training Wheels!

I can sit on my own! I can sit on my own! I did it for five whole minutes today! Mommy and Daddy are so proud.

Time for solids

It's time to start solids! Tonight I had my first meal of rice cereal. I LOVED IT! I ate the whole thing then licked the bowl. We don't have a high chair yet...but daddy makes a good substitute. Yummmmmmmmy!!!

But I'd much rather feed myself...

It's amazing how this works! I know there's more in here...and I'm going to find it. Ahh the pleasures of feeding myself...
