I've been quite busy lately.

It doesn't seem quite right to me either, but what do I know?

Okay Dad, when Mom said to get me ready I really don't think this is what she had in mind!

I get to eat cereal because I'm this big. (27.5" long and 14lbs 13 oz.) The doctor told me I'm in the 97th percentile for height, where did that come from?

This is serious business and I never realized how difficult my tongue was going to be.
This is neat, but where is the bottle?
Bath time after my first attempt at some "real" food.
Okay I agree that was pretty fun Mom and Dad.The lights always intrigued me, but I'm starting to dig these ornaments too.

My half grin is when I'm getting ornery. It's starting to show more and more!
Is anyone watching me? What if I roll off of here?
I think I can eat my entire hand - when does the circus come to town?!

Getting Ready for Christmas...

Does this diaper make my butt look big?

Hi, I'm the cutest baby ever! (well that's what mommy and daddy tell me)
Yes I'm sitting up, but do you notice how close mommy's hand is to me? ;)
Oh and if you thought mommy's hand was close in that other picture, you've got no idea here...
This photography stuff is fantastic - did you get that one dad?
Santa's not coming for another month? Are you kidding me?!

Thanksgiving

Aunt Christel and Uncle Jim got a kick out of me, but it took me a while to warm up to that beard... Uncle Jim promised a motorcycle ride next summer and said he would help me buy my first dirt bike!

Thanksgiving sure smelled good, but mommy and daddy wouldn't let me taste any.
Great-Grandma told me all sorts of interesting stories.
Everyone just kept talking... I didn't know which way to look?
Mommy teased me when she brought me over by the table and I thought I might get to sit with all the adults and finally have some real food.
Papa knows just how I like to lounge and get ready to watch some football!
I'm ready for that tractor ride; lets go!

My first OSU v Michigan Game!

All I need is a bottle of vodka and a plane ticket to Russia!

Daddy, you're crazy... I don't want any vodka and I'd much rather go to Italy!
Do I look silly? No seriously be honest... because I feel silly.
I'll do anything for an OSU victory... please beat Michigan!
It's game day... Go Beanie go!
Now this is the life, Brutus, HD TV, and a lead going into the 4th quarter!Well I guess it is time to kick back and relax.
Mommy really gets a kick out of my "relaxed pose".

Boo! My first Halloween!

I dressed up as a baby for my first Halloween -- now give me your candy!
Mom and Dad, look over there ... I think I see a ghost!
Not only is it Halloween, but I also found out today that I weigh 13 lb. 2 oz. and I'm 25 inches tall (well, long, since I can't stand yet!).
Red sky at night, sailors delight! Daddy, can we get a boat?!
Hey, Rocky, you want summa this?
This is fun, Dad, but can we go for a real airplane ride?
Grandpa, is this shirt "froggy" green?

Grandpa, since you live on a lake will you buy me the boat?

My first date with Lily ... we got to stay up really late to watch the OSU night game!
This is the last time Mommy smiled ... she's been crying ever since because she has to go back to work tomorrow ...

Up and at it.

Whew, being a rock star is hard work ... well, it looks like it when mommy and daddy play Guitar Hero!

Okay, Mom ... I'll wear this hat for you one last time before I outgrow it! Geez, are you happy now?
Yikes, my hair is the same color as Mommy's!
I wouldn't be smiling if those elephants were donkeys.

Papa brought me some pumpkins and these things just crack me uP. Hey Uncle Alan, how many of these would it take to equal your 1400 lb one?

It's been a long day. Eat, play, sleep, eat, play, sleep, eat, play, eat, play, and repeat.

I'm keeping Mommy & Daddy busy!

Grandpa Smith came to visit today ... we sure had fun playing!
He even tried to teach me how to sit up!
I discovered a new habit this weekend, much to Mommy and Daddy's dismay. It sure is cute, though!

Another modeling session with Daddy. I'm really learning how to work it!


Grandpa Gibson got a new John Deere. Boy, was he excited to take me for my first tractor ride! It will be even more fun when the tractor is moving!
Great-Grandma Koltenbah always has the perfect touch!

Daddy's little Green Day baby!
My hair is starting to tame down ... almost ...
Grandma Smith and Great-Grandma Johnson just LOVE to fuss over me ...
While Mommy went to the Buckeye game, Daddy started the bad habit of letting me watch the game on TV. He'll probably try to blame it on Grandpa Gibson, though ...
