Mom worked on my book some more!

Daddy and I had a boys' night in last night, and Mommy went to work on my special book some more. You can click on these pictures to make them big enough to read them and see the details.

The first two sets of pages are from when I was 1 month old. There is even a special set of pages all about my special boppy pillow -- I still like to sleep with it!



This page is about me, when I was only 2 months old. Gosh, I was a cute baby!


And this is Daddy's favorite. Mommy made a page all about how Daddy loves to spend time with me! I'm a big-time Daddy's boy, so I'll bet more pages like this show up in the future!

We love "The Apprentice"!

Daddy and I had a great time watching "The Apprentice" season opener tonight! We had popcorn and watched as the Donald made his choice for who got fired.... I'm taking notes. One of these days, I might be the next Apprentice!

Bath time!

I love taking nice long baths, and Daddy always makes them lots of fun for me! Here I am, playing with Daddy in my bath! And also right after I got out of the tub, and Daddy's drying me off. I love when he snuggles with me and makes me all warm after bath time!

We'll miss you, Uncle Jordan!

Today, Uncle Jordan flew to the Ukraine to serve a mission for the LDS church. He's been in the Missionary Training Center since July, so we haven't seen him since then, but we're missing him an extra lot today! Since we've all been thinking about Uncle Jordan, I asked Mommy to share a couple of extra-special pictures of him!

This is us on Christmas. After a busy morning opening gifts and eating WAY too much, we both needed a good nap!

Here we are on Superbowl Sunday. We guys had a great time watching the game!

This is the last day we got to hang out with Uncle Jordan before he left. It was a big party for both Grandpa's and my birthday, and for Uncle Jordan, too, and for the 4th of July. We spent lots of time visiting.

And this is the same day, when we were getting ready to leave -- our family with Uncle Jordan!

We wish you safe travels, Uncle Jordan, and we can't wait to see you again! We love you!

Something's growing in there!

Mommy's belly keeps getting bigger, and something in there kicks me sometimes when I put my head on it. Mommy and Daddy tell me that there is a new baby in there, and that's what kicks me and makes her belly big.... We'll see if that's true... I think they're in for a surprise.... Maybe it's a puppy! I'd like a puppy.....

One thing that always makes Mommy and Daddy happy is that, when they ask me, "Do you love our new baby?", I kiss Mommy's belly. They think that's really sweet and hug and kiss me all over.... I think they're nuts, but I just go along with it for all the lovin' I get!

Family Pictures

In July, Daddy's family all got together at a really pretty park to take pictures of all of us, before Uncle Jordan left for his mission (he's flying to the Ukraine on Tuesday). Here are pictures of Daddy, Mommy, and me:And here's pictures of all of us! (I'll put everyone's name under the picture, so you can see who's who!)

Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Jordan, Aunt Megan, Uncle Dustin, Aunt Emily, Mommy, me, and Daddy.

Goats are cool, too!

Daddy and I liked this little goat. He was a tiny guy, just like me! He was really soft, too!Here we are with Mommy's favorite. This one even talked to us! It talked like I do.... Just kept saying "MMmMmmmaaaaaa, Maaaaaaaa," without really meaning anything. That's okay.... I understood the gist of it!

I really like sheep!

Mommy loves petting yards and taught Daddy and me how to pet sheep just perfectly.She taught Daddy *too* well! This guy just wandered over to him, and almost knocked Daddy down when he was trying to take that last picture!

Carousel at Lambs Farm

I went on my first carousel ride (and second and third and fourth!) when Mommy and Daddy brought me to Lambs Farm on Daddy's last day visiting us in Wisconsin. I loved it! What happens is, you sit on a horse, and it gallops around in a circle! Good thing Daddy and Mommy held me on, because it was a wild ride!!!

More fun at the Science Museum

Here I am, at one end of a crawling tunnel. I *could* crawl through it, but I didn't want to!

Here was a room, just my size, filled with blocks that were just my size, too! I had lots of fun rearranging them and playing!
Daddy and I had lots of fun playing with this cone. It was a magic cone that floated a ball on top! We played with this for a long time!

Mommy's making me a book!

Last night, Daddy and I let Mommy go out by herself for a few hours, and we stayed home and played lots! Daddy and I had a great time together! And when Mommy came back, she showed us that she'd started making me a book all about my favorite subject: Me! The cover is soft, and I like to rub it! Here's the cover, with a really handsome guy on the front!

This is the first page: You can click on the pictures, and see them full-sized, so you can read what everything says, too! This page, and the next two pages, are all about me wh

(The keys are an artistic touch, so you can't see our real last name -- that was my idea!)
And here are two pages about "Our Day at Lambs Farm", in Libertyville, IL. We went there for a while when Daddy came to visit during our trip to Ju-Ju and Pop-Pop's. We had lots of fun there, and you can see a few of my favorite things from that day!

I hope Mommy goes back there next week, so I can see more cool pictures of me, and so that Daddy and I can have a fun boys' night again! Yay!!!

I went fishing!

There was a little water play and fishing pond, just for little guys like me, at the science museum! I caught my first fish there!


And ate what I caught!


And also ate the fishing pole!

I dig chicks!

We went to the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, and I loved looking at the newly hatched chicks! They were so cute, and made such funny noises! I could have stayed and watched them all day!

Tony Bennett Rocks!

Remember that outdoor concert that Pop-Pop was getting ready for in yesterday's post? Well, it was for Tony Bennett, and we had a great time! Daddy was visiting, too, that weekend, and I had lots of fun watching all the fun with him!


Ravinia is this outdoor concert place, where everyone just sets up on this huge lawn. I'll bet there were 10,000 people watching -- here you can see just a few behind Daddy and me. That's Ju-Ju behind us in the yellow shirt! Hi Ju-Ju! I took a nap before the concert, so I was ready to stay up late and enjoy the music! Pop-Pop even got me my own chair!


My favorite part of the whole concert was that, every time I clapped, everyone else there followed me and clapped, too! It was a big party, and I was the star! I waited until that guy stopped singing to clap, so everyone else could hear me, and they clapped, too! That was LOTS of fun!

We're back!

After almost a month away, and a long weekend to recharge, Mommy and I are finally back to posting! I'm so happy to be back home with Daddy, even though we had lots of fun with Ju-Ju and Pop-Pop -- Mommy took pictures there, and wanted to share them, but it was just too hard there.... Sorry for the long wait!

Pop-Pop was getting us ready to go to an outdoor concert, and wanted everything that was cool to get into the cooler... I was more than happy to comply!
