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.

Our 50th Update

This is our 50th update and I'll be 300 days old July 5th. It's hard to believe it's already been that long. Feel free to start shopping for my birthday.

So many things have happened the last few weeks including my first trip to the lake. I had a lot of fun taking my first boat ride. Actually I slept for most of it, but that was fun.

As a guy gets older his head gets bigger and you need a new hat. I got a green one.

Our second trip to the ballpark was a Royals' win over the Pirates. It was a great clash of the worst two teams in baseball, and t-shirt night! We're all looking forward to going to the Cardinal game Friday when they play the Royals.

Another wild new thing is taking a bath in the tub without my inflatable duck. I'm sure I'll be showering in no time.

One fun thing to do in the bathtub is make your hair look like Alfalfa. Go ahead try it, you know you want to.

Every day I check the mail and usually it's all just junk.

I like toys. Remember: birthday coming soon.

Here I am tickling the ivories with Grandma Ginny. I'll have CDs available soon. No, I won't, that was a joke. See I'm not really that good. Because I'm a baby.

Sleeping in the car is something I recommend. And why not be as comfortable as you can?

A Trip To The Kansas City Zoo

Monday, Dad took off work and we took a family outing to the zoo. As you can see I was ready for fun.

Peacocks are funny birds. Just don't get too close.

And this would be the peacock that got me so excited.

I was amazed at the size of the elephants.

Walking around the zoo can be tiring. Luckily there are nice places like this to take a breather.

Just two guys hanging out in the grass at the zoo.

This is a stork. You know, where babies come from.

It's not every day that I get to hang out with Mom, Dad and some giraffes.

Riding the tram is the coolest, especially on Mom's lap.

As you might expect, I was conked out at the end of the day.
