Piano duet (feat. Cinnamon Girl)

Funny (early) Valentine

Thanks, Liam, for the super hero Valentine. I'm going to nibble on it in my jean pants. 

Bat Baby!

Check out my awesome Batman bib/cape. I'm on the lookout for bad guys and will flash them a goofy grin that will render them powerless. 

Mum mum champion

Love these Mum Mum rice rusk snackies!

Whatcha doin'?

Nate's getting some pointers from furry sister on how best to chew on one's foot. 

Jail?

It was time to lower the crib mattress. And because it's a pain to do, we just went all the way down to the lowest setting. Here's Nate wondering if he's done something wrong to be put in this jail. He responded by kicking the sides for 20 minutes before going to sleep for the night.

Holiday Portraits

Here are just a few more nice pics that Uncle Lyle took over the holidays.

8 months

My how 8 months just flies by! Our little guy loves exploring by scooting around - he's almost figured out how to get his knees under him to really propel him forward. And when that happens we're in trouble! He's trying more solid foods and mostly liking them (not so sure about puffs and suddenly refuses bananas). He's also mastered the sippy cup and his legs are constantly bouncing and jumping and kicking. His arms are also flailing around a lot and grabbing, but he also likes to concentrate on the details of things and delicately investigates buttons on shirts, other people's facial features or his own hand in front of his face. Nate loves to watch what furry sister is doing and likes to give her pets - we just have to make sure he's not grabbing fistfuls of fur or squeezing her paws - Cinnamon does NOT like that! He still loves the bath and we swear he's got new hair growing in - it's like spiky bird feathers. We fall in love with him more every day - I mean, look at that face!

I don't know about these Puff things ... they have a weird texture.

Exploring

Momma had a visitor while she was working today. Little man scooted all the way from his room next door...to under the guest bed!

Another snow day

Five inches of snow shuts down the government so Momma and Daddy got to stay home with me. We stayed in our jammies all day :)

Sittin' with Daddy

Bouncin'

Practicing his bouncing and shrieking - he's pretty good at both!

All dressed up

Thanks to Uncle Lyle for taking some great (non-iPhone) pics of me over the holidays.

Chilly Saturday

It was chilly so Momma bundled me up in this cozy suit from Auntie Bridget. It's got ears. We ran errands and then we went to a restaurant where I got to try out my new seat from the Rockmann's. It's pretty cool - it clamps onto the table and I get to eat with Momma and Daddy! It was broccoli and sweet potatoes for me, but I was more interested in the french fries on the table the little girl behind me who kept making funny faces. 

Prune 'stache

oh, hello.

Scootin'

Uh-oh. Nate's going mobile. We're in trouble now!

Coping with the Winter Weather

Hats!

Hey, baby

Had a nice visit with Charlotte, who's 6 weeks younger than me. I hadn't seen her in a while so I checked her out by grabbing her face and drooling on her toys. She has a furry brother, but he didn't look quite like Cinnamon. She has a regular brother, too, and Brooks came to play with us.

Grumpy Gus

Someone has had a rough re-entry after the holiday break.

Happy New Year!
