Watch This!, The Movies

It's official. I can crawl! Man, this is a heck of a lot easier than dragging myself around!


Sometimes I just need the right kind of motivation to "perform."

Frog Pool, The Movie

I got a cool new pool. I already have a big pool to swim in with Daddy, Mommy, Chris, and Gracie, but this pool is all for me. It has a canopy to keep the sun off of me AND a little fountain in the front. It's so much fun to splash in too.

9 Months Old!

Can you believe it? I am 9 months old! I have 8 teeth. I can sit up, pull up to stand (using Mommy's or Daddy's fingers), and I can get up on my hands and knees. I am SO close to being able to crawl. I can wiggle to move myself toward what I want. Watch me get the index card below!







I'm ready for bed, but I have the wiggles, big time!







Watch me wiggle! Mommy made me work harder than I wanted to. Anytime I have to work, I fuss. I learned that from my big brother.

Visiting with Steve and Nia

Daddy's old friend Steve came to visit us. Steve brought his little girl Nia to visit too. Nia is a wonderful new friend!

Cool sandals, Nia!


Smile!


Nice picture, Daddies!


Nia, you are my new best friend!

The Zoo

Yesterday, we went to the zoo. It was my first trip to the zoo.


Here I am before I went in. You can't tell by my expression, but I am very excited.


I saw a turkey.


I saw a sheep.


We went to the Splash Pad too.


Mommy helped me get close to the water. It was really neat to watch, but I wasn't sure about getting in it. It was very loud and there were tons of kids everywhere.


I saw a pretty macaw.

I had lots of fun seeing and smelling all of the animals at the zoo!

A Rainy Day

Sunday was a rainy day, so we sat and watched, smelled, and felt the rain together.

My Big Trip to Maine

My family and I flew on a plane to visit my Grandma and Grandpa in Maine.


My first plane ride! Everything went pretty well.


With all of the excitement, I missed my nap. I recovered, though, after I took a short nap in Mommy's arms.


Daddy's 41st birthday. Happy birthday, Daddy!


Lots of family came to visit. I met my Great-Grandma Giard. My Aunt Susan and Uncle Brett, AND my cousins, Charlie and Lilah, also came to visit us from Boston. Here I am meeting Lilah. She is 6 months old and I am 8 months old.


It snowed while we were in Maine. Snowsuits are a pain and so are boots. I guess it was worth it though.


Snow is cool stuff!


Chef Grandpa made the grown ups bread pudding souffles.


Tasty!


Back at home in my new "Maine" T-shirt! Maine was fun, but...


I missed Gracie!
