Walking with support

Hi everyone. I finally got over my cold...but now I started teething...again! I'm getting my front upper teeth now.

I'm walking! Ok, not quite yet, but I think I'm getting this walking thing figured out.


I love playing in Mom & Dad's room. I'm learning all about doors. I like to open and close them...and open and close and open and close and open and close.



I can reach all sorts of interesting things.

Look at me go! I'll be mowing the lawn before you know it!

Ok this may look bad, but really it's my newest interest. Chase lets me play with his kennel. He doesn't mind.

Anyone have a kleenex?

I got a cold this week. Colds are no fun! I especially make a fuss when Mom tries to wipe my nose.

Last weekend I helped Mom & Dad take down the Halloween decorations & put up the Christmas ones.

Here I am doing my famous "Ta Ta" sound.

I enjoy furniture walking...especially if I see something I really want... like the computer or remote control!

1st Halloween

No, this wasn't my Halloween outfit. This was just Mom's crazy idea. I wouldn't recommend it.

This is my Halloween outfit. Apparently, I was a dragon/dinosaur of some sorts. Trick-or-treating was fun, but I can't wait till next year when I'm a little bigger.

Come on, what are we waiting for...lets go!

I had a lot of visitors this weekend.

Here's G-ma Guyer.

On Sunday, I celebrated G-ma Hall's Birthday. Everyone was watching the football game, but I was too busy doing other more important things.




Here I am playing with Mark and Mindi. They got me a cool stuffed Iguana and T-shirt from Aruba.
Thanks guys!

Video pics of the week...

Hello again!

Sorry there hasn't been any recent postings...Mom has been having computer problems. Yuuuuckk! But I'm back!! And lots of pictures to show everyone.

On Moday, Mom and I went to Hutchinson to see the G-parents. G-ma had so many cool Halloween decorations.

Don't ask! I wasn't very happy about this one!

I guess these were Mom's shoes...they look so old!

Forget crawling...my new favorite thing to do is STAND!

I still love bath time...check out my NEW DO!

MMmmm hard cookies! I'm getting the hang of this eating thing. If I see Mom & Dad eating, I want to eat too!

I went to my buddy Harlan's 1st Birthday party. He's still bigger and faster than me, but I'm not far behind him. Happy Birthday Harlan!

Mom and Dad bought me a new car seat since I'm too big for my infant seat now. I crashed after Harlan's party.

Here are a few of my favorite videos...

Finally...I have a tooth!

Drooling, gnawing, and crankiness. All part of my teething process. My first tooth came in late last week. I've been on the go a lot lately. Busy crawling, pulling myself up to a standing position, and getting into everything I can! Busy as a bee...and keeping Mom busy too!

I love watching my favorite video, "Baby Eistein"

My "stuffed" friends!

It was just Dad and I on the weekend while Mom went to work. Dad and I rooted on the Vikings last weekend.

A McMonagle Wedding weekend!

I went to my first wedding last weekend. There were a lot of people to see and meet for the first time. Here are a few pictures from the busy weekend...

Here is Paul. He had this cool thing called a beard . I hope Dad will grow one so I can play with it.

I got to meet Jayden, who is only 3 weeks younger than me.

Here's Aunt Kim attempting to hold me. I didn't make it easy for her. Thanks Kim for the new outfit (Note bottom picture)!

I want Grandma's glasses!

Just call me Trouble! I had just had a bath and my new outfit on when I knocked over Chase's water pail. Water went everywhere! Needless to say, Mom wasn't very happy with me.

7 months old!

Bath time! Mom laughs at me a lot when I'm taking my baths. She says I've "discovered my boy parts." She thinks it's pretty funny, but I'm just curious.

Don't ask. Interesting pose huh?

I'm sitting up by myself now. I still have the occassional fall...I'm learning it's not fun to hit your head. Ouch! I ususal cry and put my arms out so mom can comfort me now. Moms always make things better. :>

Mom let me play with the diaper box today. It's a perfect fit for me!

I know there's something in here!

I highly recommend trying this new game. I call it "chasing after the bottle." All you need is a water bottle and a large open area to crawl.

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.

Uncle Doug sharing his drink with me.

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.
