update

I know mommy is really far behind on posts. As you will see below she is putting my 10 month picture and I am over 11 months old now. Mom and dad are getting really excited about my birthday party too.

On bigger news I can now sit up on my own from laying. I still refuse to pick up my belly to crawl. The army crawl is working well so I think I will stick with that. I am trying to pull up on things but still not success. And I have my two bottom teeth still although my top teeth are working on coming through.

Mommy is so excited this week. She said they get to celebrate my first anniversary. ????? Mom is crazy. Any way this Sat. Marks the anniversary of the day that my birth mom called my mom to tell her that she had picked them. Mom tells me she started crying right away and then couldn't wait to tell dad. One of the best days of her life she tells me. Kinda like the day you pee on the stick and it is pink or has a plus sign or whatever it is supposed to do to tell you you are pregnant after 5 years of trying to get pregnant. Pretty unbeatable.

And mom keeps confusing people also by saying that she can't wait for the 4th of July because it is the last first holiday they have to celebrate with me.

Ok, enough of this now look at the pictures that is what you are really here for.

videos

Here are two videos: 1) Jaren showing off to his aunt and uncles by blowing bubbles, 2) one of the many videos I took trying to catch him 'crawling' for you all to see.



This is me blowing bubbles to impress my aunt Monica and uncles Michael and Mike

This is mommy trying to get me to crawl, but as you can see I won because I got mommy to play with me more than I crawled. I've got mommy and daddy wrapped around my finger.

fun times

This is me practicing eating my food all by myself. I actually got nothing in my mouth, but the spoon. But at least I got it there right?

I like wearing my sunglasses, and I look good in them too!

Family night and mom let all the kids play with play dough. I can' t wait until I can play with play dough.

Casey and Nate's B-day party

Our Friends Casey and Nate had a birthday party together and we went to have some outdoor fun. Plus Casey smoked some really good MEAT - mommy's favorite. It was so yummy and we had a great time.

My First Easter

Here is a slide show of pictures from my first Easter. We woke up, went to church, went to Grandma Cheryl's for brunch, then to Grandma and Grandpa Mac's for lunch, then to Great Grandma Ginia's for dinner. A lot of food and family - what a blessed day.

Grandpa Mike's eyes

In November of last year my dad had his eyebrows lifted as the extra skin was pushing his eyelashes down and into his vision. Here are the before and after pictures from this surgery.

9 month photo shoot

Here are some of my 9 month pictures. They didn't fit just perfect in the slide show so some of them don't show how beautiful the picture really was. We went to botanical for these. Thanks Aunt Amy.
