Bananas

Sorry the second clip is so long. I don't have a way to edit it. I think Brock's monkey impression is hillarious. Hope you enjoy it too.

The Lost Blog

I just found a blog that never got posted. It's from our trip out to Seattle. You can see me play Grandmom's piano and take a ride on her fancy moving chair. Hope you can find it. I think it was grouped with the ones that were entered on December 17th ish.
It's titled "Our trip to visit family out west"

Mall of America

Mom and Dad took me to the Mall of America to meet Joy, Darik, and Keira.

We had fun riding rides.

That's me and mom on the balloon race

Here I am giving Keira a helicoptor ride. This may be my favorite ride there.

Here we are on the train ride.

Thanks for inviting me to the mall Keira.

Brock knows what lots of animals say. The lion is his newest one.

Nana's Birthday party

Nana's birthday was a couple week's ago and we hosted a party for her. Everyone came over and ate dinner and played. Uncle Ben, Aunt Emily, Brayden, Aunt Britta, Uncle Matt, Uncle Jake, Grandpapa, Nana (of coarse) and Mel White.

Above is Uncle Ben and Brayden

Aunt Emily and Grandpapa

Here I am with TWO sippy cups. I can't decide if I want to drink milk or grape kool aid

Here I am eating some yogurt alone. I made quite a mess.

My cousin Brayden sure does love me. I love him too!

Sledding with Mom

This video was shot by Mom as we went down the hill together. Who took better footage, Mommy or Daddy? You vote.

Sledding

This is how I got back up the hill. I got covered in snow but I had a blast.
Me and Mommy

Mommy taking me back up for one more run.

I love sledding

Daddy shot this video as we went down the hill. All you can really see of me is my eyes...but they tell the story.

My slide

I got a new slide and Mom brought it into my room. I was having fun and then I saw an old toy. I couldn't pull myself away from it. You'll have to excuse Mom's shaking (she was laughing).

Christmas 2008

We all got together at Nana and Grandpapa's house on Christmas eve. We had meatballs and mash potatoes for dinner and then we opened up presents. Thanks to everyone for all of my awesome gifts. I got to hang out with my cousin Brayden. We gave each other hugs and kisses.

Here I am with Nana on Christmas Eve.

This in my new Brightlings Exploration Station for Grandma Pam and Grandpa Rick.

Hanging out with Mom and Dad

I got this new tricycle and here I am asking Daddy for "more" pushing. My feet don't reach the pedals yet.

Daddy bought a new office and Mom took me to go see it. Here's the outside.

Daddy and Mike were putting up this new shelving and getting organized. Here is the storage area.

Here I am with Daddy in the office part of the office. It looks different now. He has a desk and some other furniture.

Some random photos

Mom bought me this used slide to keep me busy indoors while it's cold outside. It's pretty fun!

I put on Daddy's slippers today and snuck up on Mommy. She thought I was Daddy.
Here I am sitting at the table in the kitchen eating a cookie. I love cookies.

Look how big my eyes are.

I have lots of teeth now. You can see them all if you look closely. I have 6 on top and 6 on the bottom. Now I'm working on my four eye teeth.

"Special Sauce"

Brock was introduced to ketchup last night. He said he didn't like "ketchup" but when I asked if he liked his "special sauce" he said yes. He used the same french fry to lap up all of he ketchup before eating the fry.

Here are some words Brock knows

Lemons and Ice

How did I get this idea you ask? Mom gave me an ice cube from the ice machine and it fell on the floor. She picked it up and tossed it into the ice machine. The rest is history.

I don't like lemons...no wait, maybe I do....nope I sure don't...for gosh sakes, take that lemon away from me!

Fun in Seattle

Hey look...I can see myself in the drinking fountain button
We stayed at the downtown Sheraton in Seattle for two nights.
The pool was on the top floor...pretty nice view.

There was a gingerbread house display in the lobby of the hotel. I liked this one best.

We went to FAO Schwartz and I got to play with lots of toys.

Here we are at on the observation deck of the Space Needle. It was pretty windy and cold that day.

Wee! Mommy gave me her gloves to keep my hands warm.

The Space Needle

I did not like Santa.

We walked down to the Pike Street Market one morning.

Here's a Monk fish. Pretty creepy looking.

The fish market was pretty neat. We didn't see much tossing of fish because it was pretty early.

Rita Rita Runkin with Grandad

Thanks Grandad!

Our trip to visit family out west

We took a trip out to Seattle/Tacoma to visit some of Daddy's relatives. Here we are at Aunt Karis and Uncle Tony's house. They hosted a dinner one night. Thank you for organizing it all!

Little Anthony, Tony, Prudence, Caleb, Micah, Michelle,

Julia, Grandmom, Grandad and Isaiah.

Here are Elaine, Grandmom, Mark, Grandad and Tony


Michelle, Prudence, Karis, and Mark

Isaiah and I played down in Anthony's room for awhile. They had so many toys!

Earlier that day, we went over to Grandmom and Grandad's house for dinner. They let me try out Grandmom's fancy chair and play on her piano. We had a great lunch.

Thanks for having us over.

I love to dance

Here I am dancing with Daddy. I just learned how to dance and I really like it.

Here I am dancing with Duck.

This is how I spent Thanksgiving

First I had to take a bath for the big trip. I was very serious as I got ready.

Since Mom has Monday through Friday off we decided to drive to St. Louis to see Mommy's family. We left Monday morning at 4:15 in the morning. It took about 10 hours with the couple of stops we made to let me run around. I did great during the ride...that's what Mommy and Daddy said.

We stayed at my Grandma Joan and Grandpa Juan's house in Troy (about 45 minutes away from the rest of Mom's family). We had a great time.

Thanks for everything and we can't wait until you come and stay with us.

Here is Mommy on the tree swing in Grandma's backyard. You can see me and Grandma in the background.

Grandma lives in the country and her neighbor has a horse named Roxy. We walked over to feed him apples. I didn't want to leave the horse. He was really neat!

Here we are with Roxy, Grandma, Mom, Christian and Mikey.

Here's my cousin Jolee. We bought her this outfit as a Christmas present. Isn't she a doll?

The day before Thanksgiving we went over to my Mommy's Dad's house. It was a huge reunioun. It wasn't easy to get a good family photo with so many people. Here's the goofy one.

Double click on the image and it should get bigger. You can see all the way down Daddy's throat!

And here's the best of the serious ones.

Top row from left: Grandpa Rick, Grandma Pam, Daddy, Aunt Chris, Uncle Mike.

Second row: Uncle Rob, Noah (cousin), Aunt Megan, Jake, Taylor and Mikey (cousins)

Third row: Aunt Katie, Mommy, Aunt Sherry

Bottom row: Miranda, ME, Jolee, and Christian (all cousins)

Grandma Joan had these really great plates. She kept me well fed. I ate like a champ the entire time. Daddy and Mommy couldn't get over how much I ate.
