Hair Cut Drama

So I went for my first haircut on Saturday. Everything was okay until they put this cape thing on me. Then I had a meltdown. It wasn't constant crying. Occasionally I would be distracted by Big Bird on the TV.
Post haircut with a sucker I got as a treat. Don't worry Mimi and Aunt Heather- my hair is just wet and combed over-it's not really that short in the front.

I'm coming Bailey, I'll let you in!!

Oh well, since I can't get the door open I'll go find something else to do. Please excuse the diaper only photo. It was late in the afternoon and almost time for my bath.

Playdate With Aidan and Andrew

Today we went to see Miss Donella and her two boys. Aidan was so sweet to share his Cheerios with me.
I was amazed at how Aidan could stand up without holding on to anything AND eat at the same time. One day soon I will be able to do that too.
This is Andrew.

My new favorite place to play. I can easily get up here but haven't quite figured out how to get down.

Look at my sweet smile.
The puppies love to hang out by my chair at suppertime. Tonight they got a nice treat of tuna fish sandwich.

Jack Walks!!!

Whoo Hoo!! Look at me go! In the past couple of days I have really been wanting to walk more, especially today. I've gone from 2 steps to 6-7 just today. Note the bottle of Pledge on the table. Mommy was using that to encourage me to walk to her. Does that mean I'm going to be a clean freak like her?!

Uncle Chris and Aunt Madhur came for a visit. So we went on a Mississippi River dinner cruise. They are having a baby in December so I'll have a cousin!
I was incredibly tired of having my picture taken.
Watching the barges go by.
What the heck is that??? I later found out that it was the old Mississippi River bridge.
I finally decided that I had enough fun for one day.
Crawling up on the hearth is my new favorite thing.

The other day we went to Lowe's and I got to ride in the race car shopping cart. What fun!
I have been in Winona for a few days visiting Mimi, G, and Aunt Heather. I really missed my toys. While I was there I took 3 steps and started saying "Hedur" for my Aunt Heather. Do you think I have done any of that since I got home? No way. I don't want Mommy to know that I'm a big boy.

Visit with a (former) Vice President

We went to Davis Kidd today where Al Gore was signing his book. While Mommy and Daddy certainly do NOT share his political views, it was interesting to see him up close. Besides, Mommy thinks he's kinda cute.
Mommy and me talking to Al. She grew up next door to Al's sister's husband's brother in Winona. Confusing enough?

More Orange Beach

Standing in the surf.
Mommy and Daddy on the beach. Note the extreme sunburn on both of them. That's what happens when lily-white skin is exposed to the sun.
Aunt Heather and Uncle Stan. I loved hanging out with them. They are two of my VERY favorite people.
On the last day of our vacation, Daddy took me down to the beach to take some pictures.
Digging in the sand is fun!

This is my mommy's very favorite picture of me.

Family Vacation

For a few minutes I thought this was the Gulf. But then I realized that it was only the sink. We went to Orange Beach with Mimi, G, Uncle Stan, and Aunt Heather this past week. We had a great time.
With Aunt Heather out in the Gulf. I absolutely loved the water.
Having a little snack before going out again.
We went on a dolphin cruise Friday night. I was NOT happy when they made me wear this stupid life vest. I believe this look says it all.
One of the dolphins we spotted. The driver of the boat was an old man who talked a LOT! He used the words "cracker" and "rascal" alot to describe the people who drove their boats fast where they weren't supposed to.
Family picture. Check out my new Hawaiian shirt. Cute, huh? I slept through most of the cruise and missed out on all the fun.

Daddy came home with some cherry flavored tongue depressors that I found very tasty. Dr. Karin and Dr. Jennifer told him about them. I hope he'll bring me some more.
This is my friend Lauren Treglown. We went to see her today. Mommy and Daddy have known her since she was my age. We sat in her wagon with her kittens. I had never seen a baby kitty before.
Lauren said that I could have this kitty. I think his name is Flubber.
Mommy, can I keep him?

After a good night's sleep, I woke up in a great mood this morning.
Since my silky has to go everywhere with me, I found a new way to hold it while my hands are not available.

I'm just starting to learn how to push and walk behind my toys. I tried out my bubble mower today.
After a busy day that included a visit from Aunt Heather and Pam, a long lunch at Yia Yia's and a wreck(some lady ran into the back of us), I was more than ready to go to bed.

Happy 4th!!

Last night for the 4th, we went to dinner with Kent and his parents, then went to Germantown for some fireworks in the park. It was alot of fun. Kent and I shared a pizza at Macaroni Grill. We both acted very nice.
It was way past my bedtime and I was getting a little cranky. But my paci and my silky helped a lot.
This is how I felt about the fireworks at first.
Then I sat in Mommy's lap and I actually liked watching them.

Ministainer??

I love to pick up blocks, hold them in the air, and talk really loud. It's kind of like I'm giving a sermon. My Aunt Heather says that I'm going to be a ministainer like Joey on Friends was.

Feeling a Little Better

By this afternoon I seemed to feel a little better. Here I give Mommy my best fake camera smile.

Only Smile of the Weekend

Mommy and I went to Winona for Mimi and G's block party Friday night. I really didn't feel well and wasn't in the best of moods. Here Aunt Heather is being goofy and making me laugh.

Sick Boy

This is my "don't mess with me" face. I'm sick and have had high fever and an upset tummy. It's no fun.
