castle wedding

jim & krista got married at a castle. this means that krista is a princess, right? she's definitely got the beauty of a princess! or maybe it is their daughter samantha who is the princess...

little feet ii

i love feeling the grass with my feet. it has an interesting texture that is very different from the floors and carpet i normally crawl on!

columbus

i spent the last few days in columbus. i played with my cousin maia...


i also finally met audrey, who i have heard so much about...




and i met chloe, who was born less than two weeks ago!

jonah's first birthday

i went to jonah's first birthday party. i met lots of new people, almost got my hands on a Lexus, rode a swing, and watched jonah make a mess of his birthday cake!

pulling up

i am great at using furniture to pull myself up. however, i am not so good at getting back down. i just plop down on my butt...luckily i am nicely padded so it does not hurt.

piano

now that i can stand and kinda cruise without help from mommy and daddy, they have set up a piano for me to play. it's so much fun - i love making music! maybe i will be a musician when i grow up.

wolverine roast

we went to a picnic this past weekend. it had an interesting name - the wolverine roast. and almost everyone wore either scarlet or grey (even me). the best part was getting my picture taken with a local ohio celebrity!

playtime ii

i have my own playroom. most of my toys are there, plus a computer, tv and dvd player. this is the 21st century after all. there is even a couch for mommy and daddy to sit comfortably on. not only do i love playing with my toys in my playroom but i also love to crawl everywhere and pull myself up!

sleep

my mommy and daddy are trying to help me sleep better. look at all the books they got!

cleveland ii

i was in cleveland today. i stayed over last night at my friend zach's house. he lives in an awesome three story house with a friendly dog. zach is a very happy and mellow baby. it was so much fun playing with him!





afterwards, we went over to monica's house - she will be having a baby in less than a month. yeah, another baby to play with!

bead maze

my mommy and daddy got me a bead maze to play with. i like moving the beads around, but i find it more fun to drop the maze to the floor. it makes a loud bang - you can see me closing my eyes beforehand in anticipation!

cheerios

cheerios is my favorite finger food! not only do they taste good, but they are fun (and a challenge) to pick up. yesterday, i ate 16 cheerios and milk for dinner.

baby sit-ups

i showed my mommy and daddy two of my new skills yesterday. i now understand when daddy says "come here" - i crawl to him and he gives me a kiss!

i can now also sit up from a crawling position all by myself. it's so nice. i no longer need someone else's help to switch positions. instead of falling asleep, i especially love to practice this in the crib!

mei tai baby

my mommy and daddy are always looking for new ways to carry me. they just got a new baby carrier, called a bamberoo mei tai. it is really comfortable - i think every parent should have one!
