Christmas is finally here! I’ve been waiting for weeks…

Can we go out sledding? Pretty Please?

How do these things work?

Papa says that it’s cold enough that I need my mittens…

I’m ready…let’s go!

Faster Papa, faster!

Taking a break on the winter hammock…

That was exhausting! Mama and Papa said that next time I have to pull them around!

I finally got to find out what has been under the tree all this time! I got this cool walker that plays music when I push it!

I got a lighted penguin that comes from Connecticut (thanks Wiltzius family!).

There were lots of new books under the tree…I’m helping Papa turn the pages!

This table is pretty neat…it makes lots of different musical noises!

Even though the Packers stink this year, I like my new hat anyway!

Check out all of these blocks! Mama knows how to spoil me!

One in each hand…I’m outta here!

Peek-a-boo! I love knocking down towers of blocks.

Go Sabres! Thanks to Aunt’s Aunt and Uncle for this sweet outfit!

If you lean in real close, I’ll give you a kiss (and wipe my drool on your sleeve).

I’m not a really big fan of Mr. Cruise, but this outfit is really comfy!

I can even semi-crawl and move around to grab whatever I want—all the while my feet stay warm in my tube socks.

The Blotz family gave me this really cool train. I love to hold onto the blue engine smoke stack.

They also gave me this really cool book. The main character’s teddy bear has a furry belly.

A Bluebird stopped by to visit Mama and I. Can you believe he is hanging onto one icicle while drinking from another?

One of these things is not like the other…

Can you guess where Bucky is headed?

You got it! I am working on 6 teeth right now—Bucky’s head is the perfect afternoon snack.

Hey, wait a minute. How did Bucky get up there? I thought he was afraid of heights!

I’m exploring all kinds of new poses—how does this one look? See y’all next week.

I turned 9 months old this past week. The doctor says I look great! I weighed in at 22lbs and was measured at a whopping 29 inches long. I’m a little on the ‘bigger’ side for other kids my age, but I am very well proportioned (it must be all my muscle weighing me down!).

Hey, where did you come from? You look tasty.

I vant to suck your blood.

Gotcha! We have a date tonight!

Take the picture quick…I can’t hold this much longer!

Has anyone seen my friend Beaker? I look like him when I do this with my lips. Maybe he is teething too?

What? You don’t do this right after you’ve eaten?

It’s easy. Just fling your legs up and grab hold. Try it sometime!

Uh, oh. I think I am busted. My cardboard box fetish has been exposed! Stay tuned for more cardboard tales!

Shhhh…I’m trying to sneak a peek at one of my presents!

Uh-oh, Mama and Papa caught me!

Aunt Robyn and Uncle Pete babysat me for a few hours and we had a blast. I even got to climb and jump on the couch! Yee-haw!

Holy Cow — mama is wearing pink! Well, it is to support breast cancer research and the Green Bay Packers!

I managed to get my hands on a present again…

…can I open it? Pretty please?

Finally! A present I can open!

What’s everybody laughing at? Wait a minute…how did that bow get on my head?

Opening presents is tough work!

I’m beat! See you next week!
