Spring time!

Here's a list of my newest activities: Learning to go up and down stairs, climbing onto the couch, walking on grass or uneven surfaces, riding my toys outside, throwing a "mini-tantrum" if I don't get to go outside, and swinging at the park.

Mom has been table shopping. I realized that a furniture store can be a lot of fun! I got to sit on all the chairs and couches.

I also went to the Mall of America for the first time. What a big place! I even got to try a few rides. I wasn't too sure what to think of the rides though. It was a little scary.

Chase and I like to follow each other around

The dishwasher is the coolest toy ever!

I got sick a couple of weeks ago. Mom brought me in to the doctor and they did "tests" on me, one of them included taking blood! I didn't like that at all! I had a high temp for 2 days, then got a rash on my face (as seen in the picture) and trunk area. Mom said I had something called "Roseola." Whatever it was, it was not fun!

Checking the weather report. Hoping for some warmer weather!

Playing with G-pa Hall

Here's my first time walking on the deck. I was a little nervous at first, but have no fears now! I get mad now when Mom and Dad won't let me go outside.

At MOA

Hi everyone! I'm 13 months now and all boy! I may look sweet and innocent, but I leave a mess everywhere I go. I keep mom busy nowadays.
Turning the TV on and off is a daily routine of mine

My newest toy. I wish the snow would melt so I could go outside with it!

What's in a drawer must come out!

All star wrestling with my pillow

My new red wagon

HAPPY EASTER

Happy Easter to everyone!

Here are Mom's tulips. I got to stick my finger in the dirt!

We went to the Guyer farm for Easter. There was so much to do, I was so busy!

Grand-ma Guyer and Uncle Sam

I Double Dog dare you! No, my tongue didn't get stuck. but the stones on the fireplace sure tasted good.

What's Easter without the Easter Bunny!?

Mom lets me give Chase treats.

All new and exciting toys at Grandma's house

Can't wait til SPRING!

I am finally getting outside! Mom bought me these cool sunglasses, she knows how much the bright sun bothers me. Sunday we went sledding in the front yard. Mom just pulled me in circles, over and over again, but I didn't care; I love being outside!

Grand-ma & Grand-pa Hall came to visit on Sunday too

Dust or sweep? I thought I would help Mom out with the cleaning

On Monday, we went to the Science Museum (we wanted to go to the Children's Museum, but found out that it is closed on Mondays :<) We still had fun though. I met my buddy Harlan and his mom there.

We were a little small for most of the exhibits, but I could reach this button.

Me, wandering around aimlessly

Not sure what this thing was, but it was fun to crawl in and out of

This was our favorite exhibit.

Some exhibits we couldn't touch! Can you believe that?

This worker tried to entertain us.

Happy 1st Birthday!

Party time! I didn't actually turn 1 until today, March 1st, but Mom & Dad threw me a birthday party last Sunday.

Opening my gifts. Thanks to everyone for all the great gifts!

Balloons and static hair.

I enjoyed a slice of pumpkin pie today, my actual birthday. Yea, I'm ONE! Can't wait for my 2nd birthday party:>

I love playing with all my new toys, thanks again everyone!

Clapping

This week I'm learning to clap and push buttons. I'm constantly driving Mom & Dad crazy by pushing the buttons on the entertainment center.

Bath time is still my favorite activity.

Practicing my clapping!

Mom & I went to see the Halls last week. Grandma Hall made me blueberry pancakes! Yummy

I have an unconditional love for the romote control and Grandpa Hall!

The answering machine has lots of buttons for me to push

Clapping in the bathtub

11months

Hi everyone. I'm still working on my walking. I was doing pretty good until I got sick on Saturday. I'm feeling better now, and working on my walking again. Grandma Guyer came up to babysit me on Saturday, unfortunately I wasn't feeling very good, so I wasn't my normal playful self. Thanks for coming up Grandma!

Get ready...here I go!

Easy now...

Hold on!

Got it!

I like playing in the office room. There's lots of new and interesting things for me to get into.

Mommy's little helper :>

Is it bathtime? Where's the water?

I'm tired, cranky and refuse to put on my p.j.s...and I'm definitely not going to bed!

What can I say? I'm not always the prefect child!
