9 Months Old

Mama, this isn't my first trip in a shopping cart. Why are you taking a picture now?

Alright, I won't complain. It looks like I'm having fun!

Mama took me for a short walk after my 9-month doctor's appointment. It was a nice warm day for a walk to the mailbox.

Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny brought me a basket with goodies in it. This is a silly picture of Mama putting on my circus nose. Can you tell that I love it???

I love these sunglasses too, as you can tell :-)

Grandma Lorrie took us to brunch at the Sheraton. We had to wait a few minutes for our reservation, so we were just hanging out in the lobby.

Waiting and Waiting and Waiting

Mama and Daddy took me to the mall to see the Easter Bunny the day before Easter. This is a picture of me when we first got there. I'm pretty excited!


This is me and Daddy after an hour and a half. See how tired I am? I almost fell asleep before I got on the Bunny's lap.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

The Greatest Show on Earth

Mama and Daddy took me to see the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus! It was so neat!

I wasn't sure about being on Daddy's shoulders, but I was able to see a lot more stuff that way. The elephants walked out right in front of me!


I'm still taking everything in with all the excitement around me.


Since it was the Zahner's idea to go to the circus, we had to get a picture of their family.

The tigers were cool and jumped in the air!

Mama and I missed this part because I was so tired. We had to walk around the concession stand while Daddy took pictures for us.

First Trip to the Park

We went to the park (called a "tot lot" in crazy Columbia) after our lunch date. It was my first time on a swing! Before we went on the big swing, I was actually sitting all alone in the baby swing. I loved it!

Daddy helped me go down the slide. I can't wait to try this sometime by myself!


Boing, boing, boing! This ride is just my size!

Lunch Date

Mama, Daddy and I were invited to have lunch with Aunt Jo, Drew and Dianna (Mama's old friend from Martek).

I haven't seen Dianna in so long! This is only the third time I have seen her since she moved to Texas.

Mama gets to snuggle with Drew for a minute. He was happy to be with everyone.

Group photo from lunch. I was so tuckered out because I didn't nap that morning so I had to sleep through lunch. Mama has a comfortable lap though.

Mama Caught Me!

Mama caught me trying to pull myself up by using the edge of the window. I was not going to cooperate though and let her get a picture of this.

Every time Mama tried to take a picture of me facing the window, I would turn my head. I love the flash of the camera!
Oops, missed me again, Mama! You better try harder next time!

Nope, not this time either. Ha ha, I outsmarted the Mama for a change!

Uncle Toby


I am waiting anxiously for Uncle Toby to meet me for the first time. I can't wait to meet him because I have heard so much about him!

Wow, you're tall Uncle Toby! But I am sure happy in your arms. Maybe next time I can meet Aunt Miryam too!

Big Boy Jammies


I finally got to wear my big boy jammies that Grandma Lorrie got for me. Do you like my slippers?

I love Sprout!

Here I am watching the Sprout channel...my favorite channel ever! Can you see the smile on my face? Those guys crack me up!

Fun and Tears at Playgroup

William, you should be nice to me and not push. I haven't seen you in so long!

All the babies liked to play with my toys.

William is smiling because my daddy is making faces at him.

Caitlyn and Kirsten are playing patty-cake.

Luca, Kirsten, me, Caitlyn, William - all fairly happy in this picture.

Finally, a picture of all the mommies and babies. I'm not sure what the lighting is doing to Becka's shirt though.

Luca, please don't sit on me. That isn't very nice!

Baby feet are so dang cute!

Getting Ready for Playgroup

Mama took the day off work today to spend time with me, and we are hosting playgroup at our house! I am so excited!


Mama, I think we should watch these movies when the babies come to visit. What do you think?


Wow, just a minute ago I was on the other side, and now I'm over here. How did I get here? Oh yeah, I did a combination of rolling and backward crawling!

Where's Spencer?


This is what Mama saw when we got home from Grandma Pat's and Grandpa Phil's house... I wasn't even crying, but I couldn't see anything! I could hear Mama but couldn't see her.

Zweiback Toast


This is my first taste of Zweiback Toast. I'm not so sure that I like it.

Oh, now I do! I just had to give my taste buds a few minutes to get used to it!


I know it is messy to eat, but I really did have a good time using my 3 teeth!

Rubber Ducky


I love my rubber ducky so much, and he tastes good too!

Where's Daddy?


Is Daddy in this tunnel that Aunt Linda and Uncle Ruben gave me for Christmas? Where is that Daddy person?

Oh, there he is! Now if I could only crawl to reach him on the other end of this thing! Maybe soon I'll figure out how to crawl forward instead of just backward.

Yo Baby!


Product placement for Yo Baby yogurt - I really do like the creamy texture and fruity taste.
