WATCH ME LEARN...
Mom keeps saying how observant I am and now others are noticing too. You just need to show me once and I can repeat it. I'm great at picking up on patterns too.
Here are a few of my favorites. I just discovered that I can pull the blocks out of the cube. The blue one is my favorite. I still love my books. I giggle and laugh everytime mom reads to me. Some of my books have textures on the pages. I try to feel all the books now. I might get lucky!
Grandma Malone is looking for a new floor for her house. Mom and I went shopping with her. I got a tired of looking at tile so mom and I headed for the carpet section. They have lots to choose from. It turns out that they make carpet just for kids. Hot pink, purple, teal, lime green and on and on. I had so much to look at and feel. Mom pulled out three different sample books. They had a big carpet square on top and then lots of little samples underneath. Mom lifted up one of the squares to show me what I could see under it. She was shocked when I turned around and did the same thing to the other two samples. I even found one that could be a flip flap on the wall. Mom knew I was a smart little guy!
























37 weeks and already a reader

SLOW DOWN...YOU'RE GROWING TO FAST...
Mom, putting a turtle on my shirt will not slow me down! I am a boy on the go these days. I have found my voice and all that comes with it. If you give me a high note, I can match it. If you scream I can do it too. I love these games. I am talking more too. I say things like Dadum and baba and mum and mama when I really want her attention.
Mom is having a hard time taking pictures...they all come out blurry. I am always moving, kicking, rolling, and as you can see in these pics looking around. I like to help feed myself these days too. My hands are always getting messy and by the way, I don't like mom to wash my face. I can do it myself with my bib.
I can do the army crawl and really roll around. I love trying to fit under the couch and the chairs. Did you know there is strings under there? I love finding little things like that! I have also been trying to stand more. Mom helps, of course. She holds my pockets up so I can dance around, bend my knees and bop. I like trying to climb up onto the couch. You just wait till I can do it on my own. I can pull myself from a sitting postion through to laying on my belly and I love the added independence.
My hair is finally getting long enough to curl. Check out my pics. I even sported a hawk the other day. Those curls just would not lay flat. Mom thought it was pretty cute, but I'm sure others thought I had bed head.
I am working on my 5th and 6th tooth now. I almost have one of those guys in. THESE THINGS HURT!!!

CHOP, CHOP!...
It is my first time to use chop sticks. Uncle Jeff tried to teach me to use them like drum sticks on the table. I just liked to chew on them. Mom and dad decided that was not such a good idea. So, I ate my baby food and puffs instead . The rest of the fam ate the food from PF Changs. I let Uncle Jeff eat one of my puffs...I think he liked it. Sweet potato is the best. Look, I even got a fortune cookie!
















Why so many pictures, can't I just enjoy my food?

4 GENERATIONS...
I love my Pepe (My great-grandpa...you pronounce his name pep-ee)! He has stretchy skin. I like to pull it, but I don't think he enjoyed it too much. My Pepe is 90! He is moving back to Houston soon...can't wait to see you again Pepe. Grandpa, when are you moving back?
I was pretty happy exploring the bed and breakfast in Yorktown. They had great fringe on the pillows. I scooted and pulled my way acoss the floor, knocked my head on the coffee table and eventually showed everyone that I could say "Mama." I actually said it 2 times, I had to make sure everyone could hear me. It was a good visit with all my great aunts and my Uncle Dusty. Can you believe that I am 36 weeks old? For all those wondering...I did have pants...dad thought I was too hot and he stripped me down. I looked good!














I don't look like these guys, do I?

NO, NO, NO!...
Big boys cry too...esp. when they do not get their way. You better make sure that you feed me on time and keep me occupied with with the toys I want. Don't try to take the phone or remote control away from me. Or, you might really get me going. I love those grown up toys. They are the only things, beside the cat, that I will try to crawl to. Mom won't let me roll under the couch either...now I'm really mad!




















I'm Mad!

WHAT'S UP DOC?...
I love Carrots!




















Quick Grandma, don't let mom see.

GOT GAME?...
35 weeks and already I GOT GAME! Here I am in my new basketball shorts. I wanted to look like my daddy. They sure are slippery though. I had a little trouble keeping them on with all the scooting I do. I WANT TO CRAWL SO BAD!!! I can get to my arms and knees and rock, but no moving from point A to B yet. Frustration is setting in...mom is working hard to keep me occupied.
My curls are coming in too. My hair is a bit "puffy" as mom says. No scissors yet. Mom and dad want to see how many curls I can get first.
I can make lots of neat sounds too. In addition to my "Indian chant" I can do fake coughs too.
I am trying to pull up on things and I always have my eye on my mom. She can't get too far away. I reach out for objects and pull them to me and climb my way up my mom's shirt to get back to her. Busy boy!





















A slam dunk for RGT!

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE AT MOJO's...
We spent the 4th of July in Bellaire. Mojo Mama's Coffee House is up and running and I had to help out. In my spare time I even got to see a parade. I was not to happy when the firetruck came by. Mom had to reassure me that I was okay...my ears were hurting! Aunt Kaci got lots of candy. All I got was a pinwheel. When do I move on to the sweets?





















Mojo's has an gator!
