Mommy went to get the clean laundry. So I decided to clear out a drawer for the clean clothes...
Then I felt bad that there was such a mess on the floor so I decided I would start putting them back in the drawer for her.
I finished with the laundry and Mommy left the room for a minute again and......well, I decided that the bookshelf needed to be reorganized! 
I thought I would help decorate the newly finished bathroom....
I needed a lot of supplies for the masterpiece I was creating!
I got settled into my fire engine and was ready to take off. Marybeth started by wetting down my hair.
The scissors felt a little weird at first, but there was so much to look at, I didn't focus on them for too long...
What is this cape thing anyway?? It kept covering up my hands and I couldn't drive. 
In the end, the cape came off and I was loving my first haircut (and the bell on the fire engine!).
Mom found this awesome eggless cake recipe that we tried out this weekend. I got my first taste of a frosted cake...and it was delicious! Mom just gave me some small pieces but I hear that I get the whole cake on the big day...so I am looking forward to that!
I continue to be on the move-crawling, cruising along the furniture and walls. Not sure if I will be walking by my birthday or not but that is still a few weeks away...so who knows!
If you are ever in Atlanta on St.Patrick's Day, you have to have your picture taken with Mr.Mike in his full outfit. This is his favorite day of the year. The outfit is pretty intimidating-as you can tell by my face in the picture but nonetheless, I can now say that I have had my picture taken with Pope Mike!
Well, the news is not as good as we had hoped. As I mentioned after my last appointment, according to the skin test in the Dr's office, my egg and peanut allergies were less reactive than before and the soy was more reactive. So we thought the egg and peanut may be going away. Dr. Rezvani called today and said he got the bloodwork back and it shows that the egg allergy is actually twice as bad as it was 6 months ago. The peanut and soy allergies were about the same. So since the bloodwork looked that way-my allergies are not going away yet...but I have hope they will someday! The good news is that Mommy is now really good at making things with substitutions for eggs. She just made a zucchini bread with bananas and applesauce...and it is really good. Now she just needs to find a cake recipe with no eggs for my birthday party...can't wait!
I guess you could say that I really like gifts! Some have started to trickle in for my birthday and Mom and Dad said it is ok to open them now. They don't want me on gift overload on my actual birthday...so we started this weekend. I got a real laugh out of these......
Hi guys! I had to share these pics with you...we had a beautiful weekend and this week has started out warm as well. We have spent a lot of time outside. Mom strapped my booster seat onto a patio chair so I could enjoy the weather!
Dad did some landscaping...he added a couple new bushes so Mom and I had to water them today. I grabbed the water can so we could get going...
Just another day enjoying the weather from my chair....
Dad and I chillin' after dinner tonight. I like playing with the grass. I also like trying to put it in my mouth...but Dad stops me from doing that!
I have some great videos and pics of what I have been up to lately. Let me tell you, I am a busy guy! So stay tuned for more soon......
I had to interrupt my lunch to watch it when it began...
This is our deck when it first started snowing...
My first snowman! Since we are not used to making snowmen, we did not have a lot of the ingredients. So he has chocolate chunk eyes and a carrot nose!
This is neat! But I am glad we don't see it all that often....I don't have the right clothes to play in it!
and a good luck rub...
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!
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??
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!
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.....
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 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! 
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.
One of the best things about crawling is that I get to see Rips (thats our nickname for Ripken) whenever I want. I don't have to wait for Mommy or Daddy to take me to see him. I don't think he is that happy about it-he seems to run the other way when he see me coming.... but I love it!
I love talking to Rips so I made my way to the gate and we struck up a conversation.
It was time to take Rips outside so I made my way to his leash and got it ready for him. Stay tuned for a video of me and my buddy Rips...he gets me so excited and makes me laugh!
