Get well soon Granny Jani!

Granny Jani had her hip replaced today and Daddy reports that she did excellent during the surgery and is already attempting to be up on her feet! Isn't modern science amazing?! I hope she recovers quickly because I think I might be wanting to give this walking thing a try and I can't wait to have her chase after me! Get well soon! We all love you!

Merry Christmas!

I just want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! I have been very good this year because Santa definitely spoiled me along with the rest of my family and friends. I love you all!

My First Birthday

Guess who can measure his age using years instead of months. That's right, it's me! To celebrate a whole year of messin' around, mom and dad (mostly mom) threw me a big birthday party.

First all the people sang this neat little song...



Then I got to eat a big boy sized slice o' cake...

Thanksgiving

It feels like I was just stuffing myself with Turkey the other day and here it was weeks ago. It was a great weekend and I loved eating so many yummy things and seeing my family. I had 3 feasts that weekend!

#1 -- Great Grandpa & Martha Schmid's House

#2-- At Great Grandma LaVaughn's with Grandma Donell & the Lobos helping me feast!

So Full....Turkey...making...me...sleepy....

#3-- At Great Grandma LaVaughn's House with Grandpa & Grandma Lobo, and the other Lobos

Mommy's Little Turkey

Countdown!

This next month is going to be so much fun! I am anxiously awaiting my very first Jubilee, otherwise known as my 1st birthday, but before that I am looking forward to eating some Turkey on Thanksgiving. And, of course, after my birthday is Christmas! I know I have been a very good boy and so blessed---I wonder if Santa has taken note of this too. I love the Holiday Season!

Halloween

Here are some Halloween pictures of me. I really enjoyed the holiday and dressed up in 3 different costumes. I think I look pretty cute in all of them. I think I will like next year better since I can go out trick or treating. I enjoyed passing out candy with mom and seeing all the other kids dressed up.

Costume #1--Here I am as Luke Skywalker with the Beautiful Princess Leia (Velouria)

Costume #2--Here I am dressed up as a little monkey.

Costume #3--Here I am dressed up as a sock monkey

Our pumpkin "family"
I don't think Dad's mustache is that full.
Can you spot me and Mr. Brutus?

I love my cups!

Scrubbin off the Stink

Oh, Hello. I think it's time to scrub off the day's worries.

I'm a mad scientist!

These bath time ducks are making me angry!

Fall Family Trips

Hey peeps. Got to do some travelling over the past couple of months (which is why I haven't been blogging on the internets) to see some of my family. Here are a few pictures that I'm in.

This is me at my great-grandparents' house. They had this sweet coffee table that I played on for hours.

When no one was looking, I tried to eat Pap's remote control. It didn't taste very good, but that didn't stop me.

Here I am with my Uncle Rick and my Aunt Terri. It was Uncle Rick's birthday so I got to try a bit of his yummy birthday cake.

Hey when do I get my own cake?

After cake, I helped Great Grandma Vera do the dishes. Brutus tried to help, but he's not as good as I am at loading a dishwasher.

Here we are right before we left. Hope I get to go out that way again really soon.

Earlier this month, Mom and Dad took a trip to a magical Cleve-Land (whatever that means). Since they went off to have nice dinners and sleep in in the mornings, I got to hang out with the other side of my family in Toledo. Here's some pictures we took when Mom and Dad came back to town.

Here's me with Grandpa Gare-Bear and Grandma Barb. The two bigger kids are my cousins Paige and Caleb. Paige likes to read me stories and Caleb likes to use me as his lightsabre.

Here's some crazy monkey wrestling going on. It's like three generations of awesomeness.

Here's me and Uncle B. Uncle B is a pretty cool dude cause we both like hanging out with firefighters.

Here's the entire family (including Mr. Brutus) right before we left. Everyone took good care of me while Mom and Dad were gone, and I hope to go stay again soon.

Happy Autumn!

WWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fun Day at the Zoo

Hey dudes! Had a pretty sweet weekend. It was animal-icious! First we went to the Columbus Zoo. Mom and Dad took me to eat chinese food in Asia Land and then we saw some snakes and stuff. As we were leaving Asia Land, I saw someone walking towards us that looked pretty familiar...


Granny Janny!




So we got to spend the whole day at the zoo together. First we went to Fish Towne and saw some sweet penguins.

Then we went to Monkey Island where mom showed me this guy who likes to swing around and put on a show.

Finally, we went to Made Up Animal Land where I checked out an okapi, which is like Mr. Brutus if he were a zebra kind of. Here's a picture of me with Granny Janny and Dad near an okapi's house.

Here's Granny Janny explaining what an okapi is.

Then we saw some dude that was preaching to some gorillas or something. So I stopped for a quick photo op.

We ended the day near some hay in what appears to be Restroom World. So hey!

All in all it was a pretty awesome time and I learned a thing or two about aminals. Thanks again for all the fun Granny Janny!

9 Months

I can't believe it! I am already 9 months old!! I have been doing so much lately. I can now crawl all around the house with ease and pull myself up onto furniture. I love to do that even though I think it wares mommy and daddy out chasing me all round. I can't walk on my own yet, but I am sure I will be able to soon enough. I am babbling quite a bit, but haven't gotten the hang of talking just yet. I have my two bottom teeth in and make me look adorable. I am really looking forward to fall and before I know it Thanksgiving will have passed and I will be on my way to being 1 year old!!!

End of Summer

You know what stinks? Summer's over. I got to do lots of really neat things over the past few months. Here are a few extra videos that are from this past summer...

Dad and I playing with my stuffed puppy dog.


Mr. Brutus and I playing tug-of-war (kinda).


Here I am swimming in my sweet sweet kiddy pool.


I can't wait for next summer when dad teaches me how to mow the lawn!

Two Teeth

I finally have sprouted two new teeth. I will be able to eat a whole ear of corn on the cob in no time!

Here are some of my 6 mos. pictures too, enjoy!

Busy Little Man

Sorry I haven't posted much lately, but I have been such a busy little man! I've been crawling all around and keeping Mommy and Daddy on their toes! This week has been a big one too; I got my first tooth and I stood up in my crib for the very first time. Mommy was pretty surprised to find me doing that! I've been learning how to pull myself up and I'm getting closer to standing on my own too. I love you and miss you all!

Crawling some more

Hmm, I wonder what goodies I can find in here...

Scootin' Around (well, trying to anyways)
