MaRcHiNg into SpRiNg?!

So I've been informed it's been over a month since our last update!

Mom actually left her camera in New Ulm last time we were home in early

March so this is an abbreviated update!!

here I am on date night with mom and dad;

the menu looks pretty good;)

I can get up on all 4's, I mainly just crawl

backwards and get stuck and cry--

I don't really have the desire to go forward!

oh, and here I am taking my first lick of

ice cream; I really don't know what to

think of it....so mommy had to finish

the rest of it for me;)

It's official, our house if finally "broke in"

Mommy's nursing friends and their kids all

came over to play!!

8 months

At this point I still loved my jumper,

now however I'm more mobile and don't like

to be trapped, I want to MOVE and WALK!

Cool Harley Dude!

showing off my toothers!

playing with my cousins!

I'm starting to catch up to Olivia

who is 6 months older than me!

A message for

my auntie Nicole!

9 months

Can someone PLEASE tell this lady I'm

getting too big for this baby seat?!

Stay tuned.....auntie Denise is coming

over this weekend and I'm certain

she'll be installing my big boy seat!!

our beautiful Oak tree right outside

our living room window view!

And daddy and grandpa got motivated to start

a project on our house again,

grouting the fireplace!

Nice Work Boys, the only thing

missing in this picture is ME!

Moving and grooving;)

well let's catch up from x-mas....

got some GREAT news that my uncle Eddie remains

Cancer free, that's the best gift a kid could ask for!

oh, c'mon mom-- enough already!

Here I'm stealing a kiss from my girlfriend Emma--

she's older than me, even old enough to put on

her own make-up as you can see!!

I'll have to teach her brother though that he's

gonna have to put up a fight when boys try to kiss

his sister, as for now you can see he doesn't really

seem to mind:)

Daddy came with to hold my hand while I got my

6 month shots; I was tough since he was there,

barely even cried!

A look at our house surrounded by something

mommy and daddy call....sNoW?!

Daddy is finally burning out wood pile,

and mommy is "admiring daddy" burning

the wood pile;)

Good thing dad's around to save me otherwise

my mom would try to make me wear these

hideous things they call "skinny jeans"

Daddy tells mommy she's just going to have to

come to terms that daddy gave me the

"big boy genes!"

Mommy caught Grandma giving me a

"taste of home!!" aka Schells Beer,

brewed in mommy's hometown!

my boy cousins still find me somewhat interesting...

and funny, or funny looking?!

uncle Mike helping me learn how to take some steps!

the "Kuehn" cousins!

Mommy's teaching me how to ride mules;

I can sit up all on my own!

I even stand up and practice like I'm

driving daddy's snowmobile!

celebrating Olivia's bday and the big game!!

modeling the bday girl's bday hat,

and realizing my noggin is REALLY big!

grandpa giving me some driving lessons!

hanging with my pal Bryce!

He's only 1 month younger than me!!

pooped out after all that rooting!

happy boy

'hanging' with daddy

gotta get me some of the good stuff!!

mmmm.mmmm.mmmm- chocolate milk.

my new trick: sticking my tongue out and

trying to reach my tongue to my nose!

partying with my "Beer" cousins!

I LOVE love LOVE tubby time!

especially in mommy's big tubby.

just doing a little reading....

I can stand up all by myself hanging onto things,

uh-oh

look out mom and dad;)

I like to sleep with my favorite silky

blankie over my head.....

helps to block out the light in the morning time.

now I'm trying to learn how to pull myself up from

a sitting position; mom and dad REALLY

better look out once I master this!

Let's have a party!

whoa, maybe partying a little TOO much?!

Like father, like son!
