Mommy loves to take pictures of me when I am sleeping. She says I look like a little angel.


I am seven months old and trying all kinds of new food! I am not too picky. I love applesauce and cheerios, carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans, pears, dog bones, dog food, grass, and just about anything I find on the floor (Mommy screams when I try to experiment on new foods myself :))


Me and my Mommy hangin' around in the vineyard! We had so much fun on our fourth of July trip to Missouri. It was filled with many new experiences!


I love to ride on Grandpa's shoulders!


I am having so much fun with my Daddy and my Grandpa Grider. We are playing at Alto Vineyards in the grapevines!


I love my Grandma Dot! She sure is tasty!


Me and my Grandma Dot hangin' out at the vineyard :)


Here my Daddy is giving me my first taste of chocolate at a chocolate factory in Illinois. We took a whole tour, and got to see, behind the scene, how they make chocolate!


I loved to swing in the wing my Grandpa Grider put up for me!

Here I am riding the puppy dog!

I love to play with my Grandpa Grider! Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays now since we get to do all kinds of new thins in Missouri!


This is my Daddy and my Gran. We had a lot of fun with Gran while we were in Missouri! Thank you for my books Gran!


This is me with my Grandma Grider. We went to Missouri to see all my family there over the Fourth of July holiday! Here we are waiting to go to Lambert's cafe the place where they throw roles at you!


This is me and my Grandpa Benny eating at Toshios for Grandma Dot's Birthday!

I was 5 months old and scooting around like a walrus! Not really crawling yet. Since then I have found a much more efficient mode of transportation (crawling) and I am working on an even better one (walking).


This is me at 3.5 months showing off my urban cowboy outfit :)


This is me at 3 months old laughing at mommy tickling my feet!



These are pictures with me and my Grandma and Grandpa Grider when I was about 1 month old! They came all of the way from Missouri to see me. We had lots of fun together!

This is me the day mommy and daddy took me home! I was really little then. Mommy says I was 8 lbs. 12.4 oz. when I was born and only 20 3/4 in. long!


This is me and my mommy the day after I was born in our hospital room. I took lots of naps then :) Mommy says that I was so sweet and well behaved that she decided that I must be a very special gift sent down from heaven.

7 Months

Hey Everyone! I finally have a blog of my own! I am 7 months old now and growing, growing, growing!! I am crawling all over the house chasing Daisy. I love to read books, and play with blocks and everything momma does not want me in :) I love to eat applesauce and Cheerios, but I'm not too picky dog food and grass and just about anything on the floor works good too. I love to splash in my baby pool and play outside! My favorite thing to do is go for a bike ride with mom and dad to Sheridan's where they give me my own ice cream cone! I love the summer we have had so much fun! Now that I finally have my own blog I will try to keep everyone updated on all the new things that are happening! I love you guys!
