My First Graduation Party

Getting in my car seat to go to my first graduation party. This is for all the new mom's and dad's who took classes together to learn all about new babies.



So, it was really their graduation party, yet kind of mine too.


This is a chart of when we were born and how big we were upon arrival. I come in smallest on weight. I may be small on size, but I am huge on heart.







It took a little while for everyone to get into position for the picture. The boys were on my left and a little groggy so they slowed things down. I was intersted to see how it would all come together...


You can tell the boys from girls - girls are awake and the boys are all sacked out in between football games on a Sunday afternoon. I am in the middle.



Olivia was on my left screaming in my ear for a while.


We are a loose crew don't you think?







This was about as well as we ever got it all together. From left to right: Cadence, Ava, Laken, Olivia, Caleb, Andrew, Rhys. All in all it was a fantastic party.

A BIG thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Miller for hosting the party at their home.

A Mid September Update For My Fans

It has been some time since I've been able to put some pictures up for my family and friends. Pretty much been drinking milk, burping and sleeping - you know...




I'm starting to expand my horizons beyond the house. I'm getting patriotic lately with my flag; I like waving it around once or twice a day.






My buddy Amy sent me this cool chair. It's nice and cushiony - I foresee many cat naps right about where I am sitting in this picture.











Sometimes I don't like what's on the TV at night so I have to be a little sneaky in changing the channels.















Then I just look around and play it cool like how could someone as little as me change the channel. My Mom and Dad buy it every time.

Picnic At Our House

My Great Aunt Jo and Uncle Jim came to the picnic at our house. It was a nice day, so we were hanging out on the patio. Uncle Jim says he can teach me to swing the golf club soon. I think I can putt the ball, but I am not so sure about getting the driver all the way around yet.








Dad feeding me from a bottle after everyone else had barbecue and potato salad, etc.

Mom doesn't use a bottle - I am not sure about how all this works quite yet, but at least I'm getting my milk one way or the other.









Just starting to wind it down after my first Labor Day Weekend. Next year I am thinking we might be at the Lake for Labor Day - skiing, tubing, swimming and playing in the sand. This sure was a fun weekend though...

Ohio State vs. Navy

I finally got my Uncle Mike (aka Uncle Rat) to hold me when he came over after the Buckeye game. I am not sure if it was the beer he had to drink at the game or if I looked like a safe bet against a "yak attack" that evening... anyway either one is fine with me. I am happy just like this.














I am showing Brea my stretching skills here. I have four solid stretches down now (arch back, right, left, and hands over head), and now I am working on a new one where I put them all together at once. As Kermit once said: it is not always easy being green...








Uncle Mike (aka MM) is helping me raise the roof for the first Buckeye touchdown of the day. This is a new one to me, but I liked it after we worked on it a few times. He sings funny songs to me too...

I like hanging with him.

Also, if you look closely, you can see I am wearing my "Poop on Michigan" shirt. Uncle MM just hopes I don't poop on anything else here.











This was a comfy spot to watch the game with my Aunt Courtney. As you can probably tell from the look on our faces, this was a key drive for the Buckeyes. We hung out a lot together over the weekend. Shhhhhh....I don't want to brag, but I think they came in town to pretty much see me...

Ava's Birthday

Here I am drinking some milk at my cousin Ava's Birthday Party. This is my Great Aunt Chris helping me fill up my tummy so I can stay up for the fun. Everyone else had ice cream with their cake and all I seem to get is milk, milk, milk...














This is my cousin Ava who is now 4 years old. She is really funny - she had everyone laughing after cake and ice cream. I think she is counting out how old she is now on my hand...

A Trip To Dayton

I went to visit my Great Aunt Annie and my Great Uncle Paul. My Aunt Annie likes hugs. They hooked me up with some Buckeye gear for the game this weekend. They also gave me this cool toy that was my Dad's first baby toy. Then we all went out for some pizza.








My Uncle Paul wasn't going to get me out of my car seat for a hug though; I think he liked it that I was sleeping. We went for Pizza at Marion's - now that is good pizza!










My Aunt Jen came to Dayton too - she sure doesn't let any grass grow under her feet. She never passes up a chance for Marion's Pizza or a hug from me.










This is Rosie. Ron and Rosie are like family to us. My Dad grew up two houses from them. They also hooked me up with some great clothes and a couple of big hugs too!

A Couple Weeks Later

Here I am in my comfy chair that buzzes and makes a bunch of funny sounds.














And so I ride in it again today!


















Applesauce or Spaghetti?

I was trying out my swinging chair one day, but because I am still so little it swings really high. So my Mom and Dad tried to add some weight.

I put up with it for a little while...







My Great Aunt Donna came from Toledo to visit.













Here I am hanging out with Mom and having her help me check my E-Trade account. I am still working on my typing...











Ok Mom, what are we doing next?













Just got out of the Baby Spa and getting ready for bed.
