Animal Rescue

The past few weeks I've really mastered the skill of pulling myself up on all sorts of furniture. It's a great skill to have for rescuing my animals from the blinds!

My Mama sure sees a resemblance to uncle Micah's baby pictures in these photos.

Multi-Purpose Laundry Basket

I fell asleep during my ride in the laundry sled all over our house with my animals!

All smiles on my new lion!

I had a BLAST on my new riding lion today! Thanks Grandpa Mike and Grandma Donna. I think Henry and Owen have the same lion!

Meeting Santa!

No thanks Santa, I'd rather have my rattle than the candy cane...maybe next year.

Post-Meal Fun Under the Table

Thanks Janie for the space-theme splat mat!

Early Christmas in Leavenworth

Always fun to be a tourist...enjoying the downtown lights of Leavenworth!

This large gift from Grandma D was the perfect size to practice my new skill of pulling up to standing.

Dinner at South Restaurant with Grandma D and my parents.

Mommy went to watch my cousin Johnna play basketball while I was sleeping. She was especially impressed by all of Johnna's steals, assists, and "no look" passes!

Dinner at the Rieke house. We'll miss you on the 25th but it'll be fun to start some traditions in Montana this Christmas!

Snow Fun

Kim's Going Away Party

We'll miss you Kim! Enjoy the Arizona sunshine!

Not quite "baby-proofed"!!

Where's the water?

For some reason I can't seem to get any water out of this straw??

Typical Morning

I usually wake up and play in my crib for awhile before my parents come in and enjoy Canon in D with me. I'm really good at pushing the button to control the music myself. Thanks Marina Haley for the musical fish!

Then I get to pick out my outfit for the day!

Next I like playing in my booster chair in the kitchen while mommy makes me breakfast.

Now I'm ready for lots of exploration and adventure...I'm 10 months old today!

Nativity Scene

I bet the Christmas decorations around our house will be "off limits" to me...so that's why mommy pulled out my own Nativity scene to play with. Thanks Phyllis Worrall for the great gift!
