Go Niagara!

In hopes of a win for the Niagara Men's Basketball team tonight I went straight to the good luck source...Monte the Mascot....

I gave him a little kiss...

and a good luck rub...


Now keep your fingers crossed!

Everybody needs to laugh nowadays....

I had a serious case of the giggles the other night. Everything was funny to me! I have this block that has a string on it and when you pull it, it vibrates. That is all that Daddy was doing to me and I could not stop laughing. Anyway, I hope it makes you laugh or at least make you smile....we need to do more of that these days!

Good Bye...and an Update...

Before I update you on my progress, I just want to say a special good-bye to my Great Uncle Bob, who passed away last week. He was Mommy's Uncle and Godfather so she was a little sad. She flew to Chicago to attend the services for him so it was just Daddy and me for the past 2 days. Anyway, I only got to meet him a couple of times but I hear he was a good man who had a lot of stories and he will be greatly missed! Love you Great Uncle Bob!

I love chasing any kind of ball around the house. As you can see, I am holding my basketball but my beach ball is in the background. There are balls all over the house!

Another favorite pastime of mine is to get into Mommy's cookbooks. I like to pull them off the shelves and open them up and then leave them laying in a big pile. Fun Fun!

This is a funny story. So Daddy thought I should try eating at the table with them for dinner. He took the tray off my high chair and lowered my chair to fit under the table. I did fine at first but then I just felt like kicking my feet up. I wanted to get comfortable! Is that not what you are supposed to do??

A Little Laughter

HAPPY 10 MONTH BIRTHDAY TO ME!

I turned 10 months old yesterday! Wow, I am getting so big so fast! Can you believe that in 2 months, I will be 1 year old! I am so excited!!

Since most of you don't get to hear me laugh that often, I decided to share this video with you of my silliness. Who knew slippers could be so funny!

Baby Talk

For a while, I have been saying a lot of "Mama" and "Mom, Mom." So Mommy and Daddy have been trying to add new words to my vocabulary. I am getting better with ball...I get the "ba" out when I see it. But what I have been working really hard on is "DaDa" and "Daddy...."

Listen to me play, crawl and talk.....

And listen to me walk and talk.....

Busy Little Bee

Mommy calls me her "busy little bee" lately. Since I can crawl now...and very fast I might add..I am into a lot of things. I love rolling my ball out of my playroom and onto the hardwoods in the kitchen. That way I can roll and chase all at the same time!
This is one of my new favorite spots. I crawl to the windows in the playroom and just look outside or bang on the windows.

And it doesn't matter how many toys I have....I ALWAYS go back to the pots and pans cupboard . I go there at least once a day! They make good noise!

I still really love to walk with Mommy or Daddy holding my hands. I like chasing Ripken or kicking my ball while circling the family room and kitchen. Mommy let go of me today and I stood by myself for about 5 seconds.....but it felt like a lifetime to me!

Sorry Everyone!

I am exhausted! Sorry it has been a few days since my last post. Things have been busy around here. Mommy and Daddy are doing a lot of work to the house. Daddy did my bathroom first -it looks awesome! Now they have moved on to the downstairs bathroom-can't wait to see that one when it is finished!
For those of you that did not know, Mommy has a side business. She bakes "sweet treats" ---cookies and stuff and then delivers them to clients for meetings or whatever they need them for. So she had to do a bit of baking over the weekend and then we had to deliver them to one of her clients yesterday. That was my first time going with her on official business-it was fun!
Today we went to Mommy's old work at Home Depot Corporate and visited her friends and then had lunch with Daddy. After that we had to run a bunch of errands.
And tomorrow...we have to take my buddy Rips to the vet. So it has been non-stop since Saturday! As you can see by the picture, I am pooped! But Mommy says that will be it for the week and then we might get to go the the pool at the club again. Yipee!


But we did have nice weather on Sunday so we all took a break and went to the park. I love the swings! Mommy and Daddy have discussed getting me a swing for the backyard. Oh, how I much fun I would have with that!

Daddy calls this the "tough guy" picture since we both look so serious.

Talk to all of you again soon!!
