My lookalike

Everybody says that I look just like my pawpaw Ray, and you know what, they may be right. Check out the resemblance.

Milestones

Now that I'm 6 months old, I guess I should tell everyone about some new things I've been up to... I love my baby food so much, and lately I get to eat in the big boy high chair! I think that is so cool. But was I mad at my daddy for making me stop eating to take another picture! Enough already. (Doesn’t this look say it all!?) I’m starting to get the hang of this sitting-up-by-myself thing, but I need something to help prop me up right now. The boppy is good for that, so is my walker, and chair. It won’t be long now, you just watch.

Last of Vacation Pics

The funniest part of vacation was that everyone thought me and my cousin Emma were twins. They must be blind or something, because she’s so much bigger than me. AND my nanny was pushing her and my mommy was pushing me. Twins don’t have different mommies. If I could talk, I would have told them that…

Don’t look at the mountains! They’re just big hills. Check me out! I’m the little handsome one representing my LSU tigers in Tennessee! Tiger bait, tiger bait!! Hahaha…

Vacation Continued more...

Me and my dad had some fun times in the mountains, hiking and looking at the mountains and streams and rocks. I love this carrier, because I get to see everything, just like a big boy. And of course I’m not wearing shoes, because I hate them. I’m not a big fan of socks, either, but I couldn’t really reach my feet to pull them off like I usually do! Here we go with another family picture. I was up for taking this one, though, because hiking is cool! I had so much fun being carried by dad and actually being able to look around! Can you believe we saw bears on 3 separate occasions in the wild!? They were so big and fun to watch. This is a momma bear looking for fish in the stream. Her 3 cubs had walked on a little. I guess they were scared of the people that had gathered around to take pictures, like us!

Vacation Continued...

We had a lot of fun just hanging out at the condo while on vacation, too. Here I am chilling with my pawpaw Duane. He’s a pretty funny guy! Swimming was fun, but I couldn’t really enjoy the water because I’m not sitting up on my own yet. We tried playing in the water park at the property, but the water was too cold. I threw a fit, so we went outside, where it was sunny!

My First Vacation

We went on our first family vacation last month, to Gatlinburg for a week, and my dad is finally getting around to showing ya'll some of the pictures. (I apologize for his taking so long)... ENJOY! Apparently my parents enjoy taking family pictures, but I was more interested in playing with my daddy’s hand. But isn’t my Hawaiian shirt the coolest!? This is the family at Dollywood. I’m the cute one in the middle, in case you didn’t already know that! Hehehe My mommy took this picture of me on the really neat choo-choo train that goes around Dollywood. It was pretty loud, because it runs on steam & coal, but it was lots of fun!

I'm A Big Boy Now...

Everybody keeps calling me a big boy (which I know is because I'm a little plump) but also because I'm growing up so fast. This week we hit a few milestones. First, I haven't been sleeping all that well because my gums hurt, and can you believe, my first tooth appeared! It's kind of hard to see in the picture, but it's my bottom left tooth. And mommy says the bottom right one looks like it's going to come out any day now. YIPPEE!!

Also this week, I get to ride around in my big boy stroller, and I can even sit up in it without falling over! I have to get used to this stroller because that's going to be my ride while on vacation next week! I also took my second trip to the Audubon Zoo, but I don't have any pictures yet, so stay tuned...

Likes/Dislikes

I'm only 4 1/2 months old right now, but I already know what I like and what I do not. My favorite thing is my Mike the Tiger woobie, which we call Mikey. And I hate my socks! They're always clinging to my feet. My mommy and daddy think it's funny when I try to pull them off, but after I yank them away, guess what!? They put them BACK ON! Oh well. Soon enough I'll be able to keep them off!

Hot Wheels

Well even though I can't sit up on my own, and I surely can't crawl or walk, I am taking several steps forwards and backwards in my walker. It even has toys to play with while I move around. Here is a picture of mommy and me talking as I walk towards her.

Playtime with Cousin Emma

My cousin Emma and I had Easter this weekend (because my Nanny has to work for Easter) and we had such a good time playing! She's older than me and can sit up by herself, but Mommy held me up so we could talk and play!

How Cool is THIS!?

I have the coolest toy in town now! Evidently, my parents have been hiding this thing from me, waiting for me to sit up on my own, but thought they'd let me have a test drive! HAHAHA! I love this thing and I don't want to give it up. I can't touch the ground yet, but I can reach all the buttons that make noise and light up. Look how much I love it! Does your set of wheels have cool buttons, too?

Trying SO Hard

I've been trying so hard to roll over on my belly, but the thing is so big it keeps pushing me on my back. It's really frustrating, and my Dad thinks it's funny, taking pictures and all. I'll show him really soon that I can do it!
