The Birthday Bash

My birthday party on Saturday was big fun. I was dressed and ready to go early.

The party was in the park and I was excited to get going.

But first, a pre-party nap.

All these cool kids came to celebrate with me.

All the kids helped me unwrap my presents which I loved. The toys were so cool.

You had to look quick to see me working on my standing while I unwrapped my new toys.

Here's my cake. I hear it was quite tasty.

Being one, I got my own cake and birthday hat.

But I didn't want any. I'm not so much a dessert guy.

The playground equipment was a blast. I crawled through this tunnel and slid down the slide.

Catching Up

When we went to see Grandpa a couple weeks ago he had this cool walker that I pushed all over the room.

What's better than enjoying a refreshing beverage in a rocking chair?

Sure we've all seen a photo like this before but it never gets old.

Turning one has a lot of benefits including getting to face forward in my car seat.

Looks like I have allergies so we got the old breathing machine back out.

I'm A Birthday Boy!

Hey everybody! I'm one!!!

Speed of Light = Me

I am fast and therefore it's hard for Mom and Dad to take pictures of me. On the off chance that they catch me standing still, I look like this.

I visited my friend Isley's house. She's a cool chick with a nice car.

Isley and I have birthdays two days apart, only we don't get to go to each other's party because they are at the same time.

I got another haircut. And the lady made me look cool with hair gel.

When I'm not crawling, sometimes I like to burn rubber around the house on my car.

Pots can also be used as hats!

Got some new adidas. White on white, rubber toe, you know what I'm talking about. Big time.

Gettin stuff is pretty much my favorite thing. Here I am gettin stuff out of the back of my stroller.

And here I am gettin stuff out of the refrigerator. Somebody's got to clean that thing out!

p.s. Glad you're home Grandpa White. See you soon!

11 Months Old

August 8th was a big day because I turned 11 months old. I've gotten really good at my nightly routine of taking a bath, having something to drink with Mom and then going to bed.

Whoops! You weren't supposed to see that! But notice those muscles...I am tough.

Dad took some video of me tonight and then we watched it.

I had a fun week a while back when I got to play with a lot of my friends. Here I am with Colton.

Colton and me tried to reenact a scene from Forrest Gump. This is Bubba and Forrest leaning against each other out in the woods.

Then I got to go have pizza with Noah. I actually didn't get any pizza.

Isaac is a cousin of mine who lives in Arkansas. His dad and my mom are cousins.

Aunt Kelli's birthday was July 28th and we went to Grandma and Grandpa's to celebrate with her. This rocking chair was my dad's when he was little like me. Some day I might get to have it in my room.

That's Grandpa's stinky feet in the background.

High five, see ya next time.

House Guests

Eating is something I definitely like to do. The dishes Mom makes are so good that I also like to wear them.

My cousin Lexi came to stay all week last week. We had all sorts of fun playing together.

Noah came over for a swim one night when it was hot, hot, hot.

After the dip in the pool, we came inside to play with toys. Two guys in yellow shirts.

I found a new favorite spot. It's behind the rocking chair in my room.

Here's Lexi and me before she had to go back home.

Did I mention I like to eat?

Celebrating My Independence

Hi friends. I just got a 10-month check-up. They tell me I'm 29 inches tall and almost 21 pounds.

Our first family vacation was in Nashville with a stop in St. Louis to see new Busch Stadium. The Royals beat the Cards 7-5 in extra innings and the Royals are 2-1 in games I've been to.

One place we went in Nashville was the Hermitage (not pictured) which is the home of President Andrew Jackson (also not pictured). In the background you may notice a mule which made funny noises.

With me being a thinking man and all, I insisted on going to the Science Center.

More Science Center action. I like buttons.

If you think I did not actually slide down this thing then you're right.

Do you recognize these astronauts?

When I get grumpy we head for Barnes and Noble. We did that three times on our Nashville trip. I like it, I don't know why.

The 4th of July in Nashville was really cool. We watched from outside the CMT building and my eyes were glued on the fireworks.

Sleeping on the road is tough. So I got the special treat of spending some time with Mom and Dad in bed, where I was a good sleeper. You can see I was a bedhead fred when I woke up.
