All By Myself!

I finally started holding my bottle by myself this month. Mommy likes it because she can hold me & relax, but she also doesn't like it because I am growing up so fast!

Playing with Daddy

Sometimes mommy will come home or walk into the room where Daddy & I are playing and find us doing all kinds of silly things. Today, Daddy hid me inside the pillows and then called Mommy into the room. I popped out and here is what she saw...

Mischief

Since I can crawl really fast & pull myself up on almost anything, I am finding myself in a lot of mischief these days. Today I ended up underneath the kitchen table. Mommy & Daddy are keeping themselves really busy by following me around & protecting me!

The Park-- lots of pictures!!!

Today was my first trip to the park. It was a relatively warm and sunny day so we went to my Nana's and then walked to Rose Avenue Park.

Here I am with Mommy & Nana, headed for the park.
Mommy rode on the slide with me since it was my first time.

We said "whee" on the way down...

...and it was really fun!
Do you think I am ready to go down by myself now Mommy? I guess it's more fun to ride with Mommy!
Since I have been practicing walking, they let me walk along this bridge as long as I promised to hold on to the rails. Then it was time for a little break.
Since I have a swing at home, I already knew this would be fun. The swings at the park are just as fun as mine.

Then it was time to ride on the little slide by myself (with a little help from Mommy & Nana).

That was super fun!!!
Okay, time to go again!
Here I am trying to climb up some stairs.
... and walking on the grass.
And, I am now learning to give kissess too!

Thanks Daddy, Mommy, & Nana for taking me to the park. It was such a nice day!

Where Did It Go?

I love to drop my toys onto the floor from my high chair. And, I love finding a toy box so I can toss everything out of it!

Crawling!!!

I have been crawling since Christmas Eve. Here is some footage!!!

9 Months Old

I am 9 months old today. Everyone around me keeps saying that I am getting so big. I have learned so many new things lately. I am crawling, pulling up, standing on my own for a few seconds, and cruising (walking while holding on to furniture or toys). It has been really fun around my house lately!!!

Standing Up

I have been doing this for about two weeks now, but daddy hadn't caught me on camera until today. Yes, I stand up all by myself. This is usually how mommy finds me in the mornings. And, I am always smiling because I am pretty proud of myself.
Look, I can even let go... with one hand... ...and balance letting go with both hands! Aren't I clever?!?!?

Happy New Year! More Toys!!!

Happy 2008! I didn't stay up until midnight. For some reason, mom & dad wouldn't let me. But I had a fun New Years Day playing with all my new toys!!!

Here is my baby grand piano from Great Grandma & Grandpa Coyle. It is really fun! I can't wait until I can take lessons and play a real piano!

This is the car/walker from mom & dad. I think you saw it before while I was standing up walking with it. Well, it also changes into a car for me to scoot around on. Pretty cool if you ask me! Here is my play time table from my Grandpa & Grammy Coyle. It does so many neat things and mommy likes it because it keeps me busy for a really long time!

Finally, here is a puzzle from Grandpa & Grammy Coyle. I can't figure out how to put the pieces together right just yet, but for now it is really fun to put them in my mouth.
