I'm on the Move

Look out world I am on the move.  I started crawling.  I showed Daddy my new moves first.  He was so excited.  He ran me upstairs and woke Mommy up to show her what I can do now.  Again Mommy was sad because it means I am getting big.  I just seem to always make her sad with all the cool new things I am doing.  She says she has a hard time with it because I am her last baby.  Mom you can't hold me back forever!  The girls need to look out now that I am mobile because it means I can get into all their stuff.  Daddy said all the little stuff needs to be put away and they need to get their stuff off the bottom of the coffee table.  I just amaze myself with all the new stuff I am able to do all the time.  I mean what can be next!

I'm Woody the Cowboy

I had my first Halloween.  I dressed up as Woody from Toy Story.  I did not get to get any candy because I could not say Trick or Treat.  Mommy said that it was silly to take a baby up to a house to get candy because I can’t eat it.  I wonder if they if they will let me go up to the house and get candy next year!  Daddy wanted me to go up the houses to get candy.  I think he thought that I would share it with him.  Riley dressed up as Merida from Brave.  She looked really pretty even if she would not wear the wig.  Luci dressed up as Sofia the First.  She did not need a wig to look like Sofia.  It was a fun first Halloween because everyone came over to see us.  Landon came over to trick or treat with us too.  He dressed up as Jack Frost.  He looked really cool.  I hope that I am as cool as Landon one day.  

Take a Bite Out of Anything

I have a tooth popping through.  It is crazy.  It didn't really hurt.  Daddy saw it and showed Mommy.  Mommy got really sad because she said it is just a first step in me becoming a big boy.  Riley and Luci both got their first tooth at 9 months and I got mine at 7.  I guess I may be more advanced than them.  We will see if I walk before them.  I think that will be a big thing.  I wonder what I can do with this tooth in my mouth.  I bet there will be more because Daddy has a bunch in his mouth  and I am going to be just like him.  I will let you know how this teething thing goes.  

7 Months Old

I am seven months old.  A lot of changes have been coming my way.  I am rocking and rolling. I like to roll all over the place and I am getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth.  Pretty soon I am going to be crawling, or at least Daddy thinks so.  I am eating all kinds of vegetables and a lot of different kinds of fruits.  Alice likes to give me puffs, but Mommy and Daddy have not done that yet.  Riley and Luci would like to feed me but Mommy and Daddy said that I am not good enough at it yet for them to do more than a couple of bites.  Mommy thinks I am the cleanest eater out of all the kids except for when I don't like something because then I spit it back out at her, but other than that once it is in it is gone.

I like to play with my sisters.  They can drive me crazy but they are good big sisters and they do look out for me.  I wonder if they will still like me when I start getting into their stuff?

Chicago

We all took a big trip to Chicago.  Mommy and Riley are on fall break for two weeks and we are taking the time to go to Chicago as a family.  We went to a cool restaurant called The Rainforest Cafe. It was really cool because it had all kinds of animals in it.  The gorillas, elephants, alligators, and fish looked real.  The fish were really real.  Then we went shopping at the Disney store and we all got pajamas and our Halloween costumes.  I got to ride around in the stroller a lot and in the baby Bjorn.  While we were up there Mommy and Daddy couldn't mix my cereal with milk and I didn't like it.  I would not eat it at all.  It was disgusting!

Grandma and Grandpa came up and met us on the second day.  We all went to the Museum of Natural History.  It was really big.  It had a lot of big things in it, like Sue the dinosaur.  I really liked the dinosaurs.  We watched a movie that had big furry elephants in it.  It seemed like a place with a lot to learn.  Riley and Luci really enjoyed it.  I think that I will like it more when I am older and we can go back.  There really wasn't a lot for me to do except look at stuff and wonder what the heck it was.  It was nice to spend time together as a family.

Rolling Over

I starting rolling over from my back to my stomach!  Riley and Luciana are so excited because they think this is a cool trick I can do.  Mommy and Daddy think that this means they have to watch me more and be more careful about where they put me.  I think that it is pretty cool to be able to get around and to get to my toys easier.

I also do this thing where I push up on my hands and look all around.  The girls like to get in my face and say hi to me when I do this.  I don't really like them too close, but they are funny!  They always talk to me in these weird voices.  I know they can be a little crazy, but I really do like having them around.
