No Cavities!

Now that I have 3 teeth, my Mommy thinks it's time that I take a little more responsibility for my own personal hygiene. So far I have no cavities!

New skills

I am getting so big that I am now able to do much more stuff than I used to. For example, I can move into the crawling position from sitting and I love to stand at the furniture. I have been rolling for a couple of months now, but I am getting very fast at it. I have even heard rumors that a safety gate will be going up at the top of the stairs this weekend. My favorite game though is to get myself caught into a tight corner and then scream for Mommy to come and help me. She always comes and never lets me down!

Teeth

I now have 2 teeth and they are growing in fast. They are actually quite fun to use - I have just learned how to bite a piece off of my Arrowroot cookie so that I can suck in it my mouth. Mommy tells me that she can see some more teeth coming in on top, but I can't feel them yet. They will be here soon though!

Taylor and me

This past week, I got to visit my new cousin in Billings, Montana. It was a very long drive to get there, but it was worth it in the end. She even let me play with some of her new toys! Taylor and I are going to be good friends when she gets to be big like me.

Whistler Playground

On Saturday, Mommy and Daddy took me and Jackpot up to Whistler for the day. I got to play in the playground and have some fun.

Pumpkin

Daddy keeps calling me "Pumpkin". Can somebody please tell me why? I don't see a resemblence.

Me and Jackpot

This is me with my dog, Jackpot. He is my best friend.

Thanksgiving

For my first Thanksgiving, my family and I decided to visit Grammy and Grampy in Port Alberni. Here we are watching videos of Daddy when he was a little boy. He was sure cute as a kid (don't tell him that I think I am cuter!).

I'm a big cousin!

After 6 1/2 months of being the smallest to 4 older cousins, I finally get to say that I'm a big cousin too! Auntie Rayanne and Uncle Gary welcomed baby Taylor into the world on October 3rd. I can't wait to meet her! Do you think she will let me play with her toys?

Autumn

I have just discovered my favorite time of the year - Autumn. I never knew there were so many toys to play with on the ground outside. Mommy kept telling me not to put the leaves in my mouth, but it was too much fun to resist. Besides, I now have a tooth coming in and putting things in my mouth makes me feel better. You can also see that the front of my shirt is soaking wet with drool because of the tooth. Teething is not fun.

Eating Solids

After six long months of watching Mommy and Daddy eat at the table, I finally get to join in. My favorite foods so far are rice cereal and wheat cereal, but I also love sweet potatoes. I am not a big fan of pears or bananas, but my Mommy tells me to keep trying. Maybe one day I will learn to like them.
