Guess what Momma found in Sams - a new tooth!

Momma and I had just gotten back from our visit to Oregon and Daddy made us go out to shop at Sams. Momma put her finger in my mouth and found my first tooth! WOW! She says I am not a baby anymore - I am becoming a little boy! I didn't eat very much over the weekend, so it made sense to Momma after she found the tooth! Now I can really bite on things!

Month 6 - Trip to Oregon and the tricks I learned!

Momma had a business trip in Oregon. Since my Tita Steener hadn't been able to come from San Francisco to see me, she said she would meet us in Portland and watch me while Momma did her work. So, Momma and I flew to Oregon and met Tita Steener. I actually got to go some place that Daddy had never been! Momma did her work on Thursday and Friday, then we drove back to Portland and met Uncle Chad that lives in Seattle. We had a great suite at the Westin in Portland with a great view. It gave me lots of space to play and move around. In fact, I had so much space, I decided to just start crawling in a forward motion! When we got home, our luggage didn't make it, so we were in the luggage office and Daddy had me playing on the floor, this is when I really started showing my new skill of crawling! When we got home, Momma and Daddy gave me a bath, then they put me on the ground and video-taped my new moves! They think it is exciting because they kept clapping for me!

Month 6 - Dr's Visit

I had my 6 month Dr's visit and shots today. Here are my new stats:

Height - 28.5 inches (95%)
Weight - 17.2 lbs (42%)

Momma said I had drank about 5 oz prior to being weighed, so I might be a little lighter than that! Everything was good for me, nothing out of the norm. I passed all of my tests with flying colors!

Watch me Grow!

Pumpkin Patch Day - 10.11.08

Month 5 - Pumpkin Patch Day with Friends

This weekend Daddy and Momma took me to a Pumpkin Patch with my friend Caleb. They also invited Auntie Trish and Caleb's parents Uncle Gary and Auntie Carrie. It was a lot of fun! I loved all the people I got to watch. Momma said that it was an Indian Summer...neither Daddy nor I knew what that was, but we did know we were HOT! There were so many things that big kids got to do. They promised they would take me again next year so I could play on all the cool things. I did get to pet a goat and a llama too. There were so many new things to touch, smell and see. I was so fascinated with everything that I forgot to look at the camera most of the time! We picked out pumpkins for Halloween. Daddy and Momma said we could make jack-o-laterns!

Month 5 - My new trick and other things I did!

I have a new trick! On Oct 5th, I surprised Momma and Daddy by sitting up all by myself! This makes things much easier for me to play with things! It's a whole different experience playing sitting up versus laying on my belly and trying to play! Momma says she likes that I can sit up because it makes me much more independent! I love my music center I play with. I can't wait to get a piano...there is a really cool one that Fisher Price makes...and Christmas is coming up...and have I told you how good I have been??

Santa? Are you listening?

Other things that happened in my 5th month...Momma has had me WORKING! I have been going in to test toys for Fisher Price and I have done an in-home test. I tested out a rocker for 2-weeks and I made $60! Momma says it is going to my 529 account so I will have money for my education. I don't know what that is - but they keep talking about how great college is. Something about "a lot of freedom, not a lot of responsibility??" So I just really sat around in this rocker and watched TV. If I wanted to rock it, Momma or Daddy had to do it for me. I wasn't too interested in the rocker, I need something much more interactive!

I also had my first encounter with a balloon. WOW! They are COOL! I think that might be one of the funniest things I have ever played with. It just makes me giggle. Daddy and Momma took me to Mr Ron and Ms Kristin's house for a party for Caden getting out of the hospital. They had a bounce house and I couldn't get in it, but I did think it was fun to watch the big kids play in it! But the BEST thing at the party was the balloon...and Ms Kristin let me take it home! I can still play with it and it still makes me laugh!!
