Yeah! I got new shoes. they are kinda funny feeling though. at first i didn't even want to stand up in them. i guess i'll get use to them but mom says my feet are so fat its hard to find ones that fit. she was hoping these would work or she would have to pay $40 for some extra wide size! 
I guess these will keep my feet a little warmer in the cold and plus they look just like dads!
I'm getting better and better at standing! it use to take me several trys to get on my feet but now i can do it in a flash. i use anything i can to get up. the couch, Tea, mom, excersaucer, entertainment center. if its there and i can climb it, i will!
Well we haven't been up to anything special lately. just sitting around the house and playing. we are going tonight to take our family photos. i can't wait!
Yes i have been caught! i was practicing standing up in my bed this morning. i was suppose to be taking a nap and mom must have peeked in and saw me standing so she took a picture. after i saw the flash go off i laughed.
So we went to visit daddy at the mall and well you know the rest! at first i was a little scared and told mom i would visit santa after i ate dinner. so we ate and then went to see him again. he was real friendly and there wasn't even a line. Trace just sat there and didn't know what to do. he can't talk yet to tell santa what he wants. but mom said santa already knows. mom also said that getting a picture with santa is becoming a rip off. something about $17 for just 1 little picture. but i'm glad i was brave this year!
today mom finally put me in th big tub. when i saw all that water just waiting for me i was so happy! i hit the water like i was made for it. i just couldn't stop splashing the whole time. i didn't even care that mom was washing me or that there was toys. all i wanted was water!
wow i was so thirsty eating all those cheerios for breakfast, mom FINALLY gave me some juice. well it was good but then i thought it was more fun to drop it on the floor to hear the bang and watch Tea pick it up!
HI its me! well i thought(really mom) i looked too cute today not to take a picture. Really i would rather eat my shoes than wear them! 
so check out my video now! i'm on a roll! nothing can stop me...well except for a few closed doors and baby gates!

well halloween came and went! we had a good time. i did all the trick or treating but i took Traces bag up a bit too so he could get some candy. i can't wait til next year so i can dress up again!
What?A Mohawk?....on me? Well with what little hair that i have mom figures it should at least be cute. Dad thinks otherwise and licked his hand to lay it down. Little did he know though that my hair is resilient and stood right back up. Mom told him that if he wanted to style my hair then he can give me a bath. (I am still sporting a mohawk)
OK so i really havn't mastered the whole sitting thing yet but i sure do know how to crawl. if there is something i want on the other end i will get up and go just to reach it. mommy and daddy better get to babyproofing! check me out on this video. click on the RED X and navigate away from this page to see the video
So i have been doing well with my eating. today was my 1st try of cheerios. they we're yummy of course. i have eaten zwieback toast, vegi puffs, jello, cheesecake, chicken and stars soup, apple bits and now cherrios. at first i got more in my high chair and on the floor but everyday i get a little better at reaching my mouth. soon i'll be eating steak! who says you need teeth!
I finally grew hair! just kidding.....
i am also working on my sitting up straight and i even learned how to get up on my knees/toes. but i still get frustrated and whine alot. 
well we just got back from our NH trip. it was fun. we went to Santas village, a place all about christmas. i even saw santa! dad, mom and i went to a lost river. there i even got to mine for my own gems! we all went swimming in the pool. Trace had lots of fun too. dad said he does better than me! we took drives around to look at all the pretty views and the big river. we went in lots of gift shops. i had ice cream too! 
so i'm getting there slowly. i'm doing a much better job at sitting up than i was a few weeks ago! i'm still a little wobbly though.
we went on our big trip! we had fun visiting all the family. it was hard for me to remember all the peoples names at 1st but then i got it! we went to blue bird gap farm and saw animals and went to the movies too. we even had a cook out with lots of mommy's family.
we also went to a carnival and rode some rides. i ate out at fun places too! Trace had fun but since i am bigger i got to do all the fun things. maybe next year when hes older he can do them too!
So its another week closer to my sisters and i big trip. its going to be my 1st plane ride and my 1st time seeing all my other family members.
This is a picture mom took of me this past week doing my "stomach crunch: as mom likes to call them. i can get my head up and my legs up now only if i could sit up! i do this all the time and when i realize i can't sit up yet i roll over so i can try to get moving somehow. i am getting better at holding my own bottle too. i am making alot of new noises and trying out new things. i might get time to post next week before our big trip. maybe on monday night becuse i know mom will be running arund on tuesday morning making sure Tea and i have all our stuff packed!
so we went to 6 flags yesterday. it was a fun time. i liked swimming in the water park but i DIDN'T like geting water in my face. Trace splashed his feet in the water for a bit but then it was nap time. after that we got dried off and went to ride some rides. me and daddy went on some monster trucks, the scrambler then my favorite "tweetys clubhouse". i hope to do it again next year!
So here i am sitting in my room. It is a mess as usual. Mom and dad says i have to much junk and that before christmas i have to get rid of all the junk that i don't play with. I tried telling them that i NEED it all and its all important but they said they are tired of looking at it and i don't have any room for any new toys.
Hi we are new to this whole experience but mom thought it would be fun to have our own blog/website for our friends and family to read about. on here you'll be able to see pictures of Trace and I and the things we do. it will be from my and his perspective and give you a differnet outlook on our daily lives. so i look forward to telling everybody all about the things we do and postin fun pictures!
