Mommy apologizes

Mommy has been keep busy keeping up with me and going back to work and so apologizes for not posting more pictures regularly.

These are pictures eating my cake, opening presents, starting to play with a present before its fully opened and taking an intermission from opening presents to play with my new toy.

My birthday

My1 year birthday was September 19th! Thank you to everyone who came down to visit. Hopefully some pictures will be posted soon. I had a cold during my party, but am feeling better now.

Things I like to do include:
-Reading (well holding books)
-Picking things out of the trash or off the floor
-playing volley ball -- well hitting a ball thrown up in the air to me.
-putting food in my parents mouth (Sharing)
-drinking with a straw

More fun with boxes than toys

Trip to Children's Museum of Virginia

I really had fun at this museum. I cried when we were leaving because I wanted to keep playing.

Happy 4th of July

Even though I was not feeling 100%, mommy and daddy took me to see about 15 minutes of the fireworks at Mt. Trashmore. We went to a local middle school and watched...they said it wasn't as noisy, but as you can see it was a great view.

I really enjoyed them and watched almost the whole time (with the exception of the pictures being taken).

My Cold

Well, I had a little cold. I threw up some and had loose stool. Then, I gave the cold to Mommy and Daddy. See, I've learned to share well ahead of my when the so called "experts" say is average. I'm all well now, though.

I like to crawl around everywhere. I also like to laugh, and to explore. I've learned to give high-5s; which I like. I also like to clap.

9 months

Today is my 9 month birthday and I celebrated by having my 9 month check up. I am healthy and I weigh 17 lbs and 12.5 oz. Wow. The doctor says I can have all foods now (waiting 3 days to introduce each new food) except milk, peanuts, and seafood. Yey. I am cruising and talking. I want mommy so I have to go for now.

(translation by mommy)
I have got a couple of my top teeth now (they came in yesterday). I am also crawling up a storm. Mommy and daddy have had to child proof a lot now including a few gates around the family room. I like to go after electrical and phone cords and so mommy and daddy have quite a time trying to keep me away from them. I am about 17 lbs now and growing.
