Down on the farm

I had a busy weekend. Friday, I went down to the Guyer Farm. I got to spend time with my Grandparents. Here I am with Uncle Sam. Grandma and Grandpa Guyer babysat me Friday night and even got up early the next morning to feed me so my parents could sleep in.
Also, Uncle Mark and Mindi babysat me Saturday night so Mom and Dad could go to a party. A Big Thank-You to them all!

I enjoyed taking walks around the farm--there's so much to see...cows, tractors, and lots of corn! Here I am next to a big green tractor.

There's corn everywhere...it's even taller than Daddy!

I also practiced my crawling this weekend. Here I am creeping...it helps if Mom coaxes me with intriguing toys.

New toys!

I have plenty of toys, but my favorite are mom's coasters.

Video pick of the week: Garrett meets Elmo!

Mom went garage sale shopping this weekend and brought me home a bunch of new toys.

Caution! Extreme close-up of me. Here I am trying to grab the camera away from mom.

I'm 6 months old!

I had my 6 month check up last week, and with that comes my dreaded shots (note the band-aide on the leg). I weigh in at 15lbs 12 ounces (20th percentile)and 28 1/2 inches long (95th percentile).

Last weekend Grandpa and Grandma Guyer came to visit me.

I'm still working on this new eating thing. Here's Dad attempting to feed me.

Here I am celebrating Grandpa Hall's 68th birthday! Happy Birthday Grandpa!

I can sit up by myself now. I still fall over once and a while though.

Everyone takes turns feeding me. Here's Uncle Doug's attempt.

Video pick of the week. It's amazing how entertaining a balloon can be.

Messy eater!

Mom started me on cereal last week. Here's a few of the highlights of my first meal.

I didn't like the chicken!

A new meaning to cleaning my plate.

Lobsters!

I had a busy weekend! Here are a few pictures of my adventures.


Saturday night I went out with the entire Hall family to Red Lobster restaurant. I got to touch the Lobsters. Everyone got to eat seafood except me. I just got milk!

Here's me looking at the drinks menu. Unfortunately, I just got milk!

Friday night, me and the parents went over to the Christenson's house. I got to see "big" Tommy and Olivia. Then my parents played soccer with me outside. As you can see, I was easily amused by the soccer game.

I can't wait to try one of these!

Beginnings of crawling

My new highchair

My parents bought me this new contraption this week. They said I would be eating soon. Right now, they just let me sit in it to play.

Reading time

Dad and I are doing some reading together. I'm more interested in getting that book in my mouth though.

Screaming in my saucer

Packing for Grandma's house

On Friday, we went down to Grandma & Grandpa Guyer's house. I got to see the cows and lots and lots of corn. I was pretty tired from such a busy weekend, I slept all the way home.

Lets play ball

The handle makes noise!

Sucking on watermelon

Making new noises

Buzzzzing my lips. 3 months old

Going for a walk

Here's mom and me in my baby Bjorn. I love being outside and going for walks.

Playtime!

This is my new saucer. It was lots of stuff to play with...I try to suck on everything and make as much noise as possible. 4 1/2 months

My Babysitters

My Uncle Mark and Mindy babysat me tonight. My parents got to go to a Twins game. Thanks Mark and Mindy!

A day at the Lake

Today my parents decided to go to Lake Ripley with my Uncle Mark and Mindy and Grandma and Grandpa Hall. Everyone took turns holding me. I loved being outside all day!

Here's me checking out the water. I was pretty curious, but starting crying when they put me in too deep. The water wasn't as warm as my baths!

It was a long day. I tried to stay awake, but obviously I couldn't quite make it.

4 months old

Here's me hanging out a sunny July day! I'm now 26 1/4 inches (90th percentile) and 13 lbs 12 ounces (25th percentile)

My buddy Thomas

I get to visit Thomas every so often with Mom and Dad. We're gonna be trouble soon!
