Gitmo, Jungle Gym, and Blocks

A couple weeks ago, Mommy went to visit Uncle Zach at Guantanamo Bay. Don't worry, he's not a prisoner, he's just stationed there with the Navy. She had a great time, but got stuck on the island for a couple extra days due to the Hurricane. Mommy was so upset because she missed me so much. I missed Mommy too, but I had great boy time with Daddy. We were roughhousing it up! But when Mommy got back we both got sick for 2 weeks - not fun. :( Now, we are better and I am playing all the time. I got a "jungle gym" from Grandma as a quasi birthday present, and it is awesome! Also, my favorite toy is now blocks and my favorite activity is now stacking them. Mommy says its quite a feat! Enjoy my pics...

Am I up to something?

Concentrating hard to make my tower. My record is 8 blocks!

Just having fun!

11 Months and New Cousin!

Yea! I'm now 11 months old and Mommy tells me next month is a big deal and I'll get something called cake. I can't wait to see what that is like. Here are some of the antics I'm up to at 11 months.


- I take everything out of cabinets. It's also fun to put them back in, but I make sure to always leave everything out. :)
- I am now definitely a walker. About 2 weeks ago, I really started walking. I crawl after I fall down, but I always at least take off walking.
- In addition to taking things out of cabinets, I also take everything in/out of everything else. Everything including diaper bags, mommy's purse and wallet, drawers, you name it I do it.
- The day before my 11 month birthday, we welcomed my new cousin into the world! I pretty much ignored him, but once he's old enough to play then I'll make sure to pay attention. What fun all 3 of us boy cousins will have!

Here I am taking all the plates out of the cabinet.

Loving on Daddy.














Playing in my kiddie pool consisted of me putting all the toys outside the pool, then Mommy putting them back in. Then me putting them outside....





















Quick pause for some rubber duckie. Yum-Yum!
















Last but not least... my new cousin.
