My first decade already? What do mean a decade has to be 10 YEARS? I can call 10 months a decade if I want to...


Hey Mommy! Watch me lift this with my head! Hello! (I'm learning to wave :-)) What? Piglet who? What were they thinking? Can't they tell this hat clashes with my stroller?
BAM! Turning it up a notch with my Emeril box... What is Daddy doing down here at my level? Better try waving again... What a tough week... My busy week started with a visit from Diane
Who went to the beach with Mommy and me I made a mess of myself eating And got to play in the tub to clean up Mommy played with me on the floor
This is what it looks like if you are on the floor with me Then I got to ride the laundry! Then Marta came to visit (but there are no photos of us shopping) Daddy finally finished my chair - note the stylish seat belt!
But I think Daddy might be better than the chair... I've still got what it takes to be a diaper model! Just hangin' with my homeys in my crib! Why doesn't my big orange friend suffer from red eye?
If Daddy keeps calling me "Monkey Girl" I'm gonna stop picking things up with my feet! Just trying to get my iron... No no no! Buy low and sell high! Get the food in my mouth? What do you expect? Look at the size of this spoon...
Seems like there is plenty of leg room on these planes to me... I came all the way to Carmel for this? We get this much sun in Oregon... Look at how excited Daddy is that Aunt Maggie is taking pictures! And the visit just started... I want my ball back! (I'm not so good at sharing yet, but Eli was kind enough to give it back)
It's the whole gang! Maggie, Daddy, Mommy, me (right in the middle where I belong!), Karlene, Eli, and Tom! A rare moment when someone other than Aunt Maggie had the camera... Bailey was better about keeping her glasses on in the sun than I was... Mommy keeps putting this just out of reach, but I'll show her... I'll keep moving around without actually crawling!
Now I have my own swing for when it is too hot or too rainy to go to the park! Does it look like I'm crawling? I'm not! How did Daddy get me inside that little box? Serving time in the baby big house
Can you believe my Mommy did this to me? Cool new PJs, no? Look at all this cool stuff... A gold medal in the floor exercises...
A silver in the hurdles... And an honorable mention in the "eating your shoe while wearing a chicken"...
