Almost crawling

I’ve been doing push-ups (lifting up onto all fours) for a couple weeks, but I never really went anywhere. Then a few days ago I realized I could go from sitting, to all fours, then I could reach out. This really helps a lot when I’m trying to grab something I can’t quite reach while sitting down (despite my impressive sit-and-reach flexibility).

I’ve also been pulling up onto my knees lately. Pretty soon I’m going to be so mobile Mom & Dad won’t know what to do with me.

St. Louis

I’ve been to another new place: St. Louis. We visited last weekend. I had so much fun, I can’t wait to visit again someday.

Resemblance

Grandma Barb thinks I look like Daddy. Here’s Dad at 1½ years old and me at 10 months.

What do you think?

Daddy gave me a new toy to play with.

It tastes pretty good.

So happy!

Parades and swimming pools

My first Independence Day holiday was quite eventful. First I watched Dad suffer through a brutally hot 5K race.

After the race, we all loaded up onto the bike and rode in the parade.

Then came the best part. I got a new swimming pool and I got to use it for the first time when we got home.

Sometimes Mom & Dad think it’s funny to let me play with the camera

Great grandma and great cousins

Yesterday went to my great grandma’s house to celebrate her birthday. Nana is 83 now. I’m still zero.

In addition to that, my cousins Caleb and Vivian who live in Texas were visiting too so I got to meet them for the first time.

We had so much fun playing together. Vivian had a box of Barbie band-aids that I just couldn’t put down.

Here’s Nana & Grampy with all three of their great grandchildren.

And here’s Grandpa Bruce with all three of his grandchildren.

I can’t wait to do this again. Hopefully we won’t have to wait an entire year!

Paul Frank

When we were in San Francisco I got a new monkey hat (Paul Frank).

Now that we’re back home my Grandma Nancy found me a matching shirt, which is awesome.

I had a lot of fun with Dad today posing for photographs…

That is, until I stopped having fun.

New tooth alert!

My fourth tooth is coming in. See for yourself.

It’s been a couple weeks since my third tooth came in.

It’s been almost two months since my first two teeth came in.

San Fran

Well, I just got back home from our family trip to San Francisco. Just like our previous trip to Albuquerque I behaved pretty well on the flights (aside from puking all over Dad two separate times). There was so much exciting stuff happening I doubt I’ll be able to remember it all!

I rode on the subway (BART).
