Family Photo Shoot

We had our pictures taken for our Christmas card. I had fun playing in the leaves and sitting up in the tree. Don't worry, daddy was holding me. I turned 8 months this week and I'm becoming more mobile. I've almost got crawling down.I can get on all fours and even do a push up. I can go backwards but I can't seem to move my arms to go forwards. I can slide off the couch and stand holding on. Grandude taught me this and mommy was so thrilled(ha ha). She was actually pretty amazed. I've been saying "da-da" for about a month and today for the first time I said "ma-ma" with a mouth full of oatmeal. My bottom two teeth have come in and now I'm getting the top two. Life is good and adventurous. I love to explore and play with blocks.

Knott's Berry Farm

Mommy had a girls weekend in Orange County. I got to go with her because Glamma and Grandude were babysitting me. Grandude and Glamma got in free to Knott's Berry Farm because Grandude's a Veteran. They thought it would be fun to take me to Camp Snoopy. I could only go on one ride but it was sure fun. Mommy and Miss Kristen got to go too. They hung out with us for a little while and then did "mommy things". I went home and had a nice long nap.

Box Car

Grandude pulled me all of the Living Room in a recycled box. I had so much fun.

Race for the Cure

Today, Mommy and I walked a mile in the Race for the Cure. We raised $275 in pledges which means we funded two lifesaving mammograms! We exceeded our goal by 100%. We walked in memory of my Great Grandma Marise and in Celebration of my Glamma who beat Breast Cancer. It was a good day!

All Smiles

Mommy found me peeking over my crib, waiting for someone to get me. Won't be long til I can pull myself up.

Tumbling & Exploring

Today I went to a Mommy & Me gymnastics class. I had fun walking on the balance beam;backwards and forwards, doing forward rolls and backward rolls. I enjoyed playing with the parachute, bells and balls. I can't wait to go back.
