Getting in to T-R-O-U-B-L-E

See this face? I'm so sweet and innocent...I don't get in to any trouble. (Wink wink.)

I swear this isn't me. I am NOT eating the shampoo bottle that was supposed to be out of my reach. Okay...it is me and I am eating it...but I don't know how the bottle got into my hands. Okay...I do know, but don't tell mommy.

This crawling thing is great. I can get anywhere and explore everything I could only look at before. (It was right after this picture was taken that I tried to pull myself up on the stool and we both toppled over)

Mommy and I are going to need to have a talk about the timing of the pictures she takes. She keeps catching me getting in to things I'm not supposed to. I don't like having proof because then I can't blame it on Daddy or Boulder.

See, cute and innocent. But despite the trouble I've been getting in to lately, Mommy and Daddy told me they still love me. They actually said that no matter what, they will ALWAYS love me...I may have to test that one day and see if they actually mean it.

Even though these are old now

These are some of the pictures from my big photo shoot when I was 6 months old, well, it wasn't really MY photo shoot but I must say I stole the show. I wasn't able to post these before because I didn't have the CD with the pictures on them until now.

Mommy wants me to tell you all that I had my first haircut the other day. My hair has finally decided to lay flat(ish) and right in my eyes. Most babies are just getting their hair at this point and here I am with my very first hair cut already.

Feel better soon Great Grandpa!!

I found out today that my Great-Grandpa is in the hospital. Since I don't have any of those green paper things mommy calls money, I can't send flowers for Great-Grandpa to eat.

I just want him to know how much I love him and we're saying prayers for him every night. Feel better soon GR8 GPA! I love you!!

8 months (yesterday)

At 8 months we mark a new transition…from 9 mo clothes to 12 mo clothes. As you’ve read, I can sit up all by myself. I wave “bye-bye” and clap “yeah” and even give kisses. My newest development…finally…is crawling.

I can pull myself up (but mommy wants to caution everyone that I haven’t learned yet that if I let go…I fall down) and I can even take a few steps if you hold my fingers.

I love toys that make noise and if it doesn’t make noise I just bang it on the floor. (This is my new toy from my grandparents). I’ve even started expressing how mad I get when someone takes a toy away from me that I still want. How do I do this you ask? SCREAM! Wow, it’s been a busy month. No wonder mommy keeps saying how exhausted she is.

I'm CRAWLING!!!!!!!!!!

My Aunt Chelsea babysat me today while mommy went to work and mommy said there must have been something in the food she fed me because when we got home I took 3 creeping crawls like I'd been doing it forever. What's great is I'm watching mommy run around the house frantically trying to babyproof everything (notice the computer cords behind me in the picture--mommy says those need to go). I keep telling her I won't get into TOO much trouble, but she doesn't seem to believe me.

Uh Oh

Note to family: time to move the crib mattress down. Mommy came in this morning only to find me sitting up in my crib. You would think my afternoon at the pool yesterday with my friend Sam would have worn me out and I'd be too tired to do a neat trick like that. Nope, not this guy. I don't know what the word tired means.

Shout out to Grandpa

I thought I would get ready for my big trip by dressing the part. I couldn't decide though...UVM or Middlebury College? How about both...they say I'm pretty smart.
