Sack Attack!

Hey everybody, what's goin' on?

How you doin'?

Pucker up, butter cup! Give me a kiss!

It is super fun to get mommy's "sack holder" and take all the sacks out and then crawl away! HAHA!

Weekend Fun With Mom and Dad

Me and momma lovin' on each other!

This is me "swimmin' like a fish" and trying to bite the tail off my Nemo fishy that Gamma and Gampa Gardner gave me!

Me and daddy just hanigin' out on the front porch watchin' traffic go by!

Sittin' on the back porch watchin' the sprinklers water the backyard! I love sprinklers, they are so fascinating!

Daddy, I think this tile is loose! Don't worry, I will fix it for ya!

It has been a rough week and good week around our house! First, Grandma and Grandpa Chinn left last Sunday night and we were very sad to see them go. I had started running a fever right before they left. Mommy thought it was just my teeth giving me fits so she gave me some tylenol and teething tabs before I went to bed. In the middle of the night Sunday night, I woke up with a 103 degree fever so mommy stayed home with me on Monday. Monday night I seemed a little better and slept through most of the night. However, I woke up at about 4am with a low-grade fever and the chills. Gamma and Gampa Gardner ended up watching me on Tuesday. Tuesday night, I woke up in the middle of the night again with a 104 degree fever this time and then again at about 5am with another low-grade fever and the chills. Then I got up at 6:30 and up-chucked my entire bottle all over my mommy. So Mommy ended up staying home with me again on Wednesday. Mommy took me to the doctor and they told her I was still just teething! Although mommy and daddy think I may have also had a stomach bug along with the teething. On Thursday I felt a little better so instead of going to daycare, Gamma and Gampa Gardner said they would keep me so mommy and daddy could go to work. But daddy didn't end up going to work b/c he was sick! Friday, I finally got to go back to Miss Glenda's for daycare b/c I was feeling MUCH better. Daddy however, was not feeling so good and stayed home from work again! Thank goodness after a nice weekend of relaxation, everyone is feeling much better and maybe things will get back to normal at our house!

Gram's Rocking Chair

A couple of months ago, I started going to daycare three days a week so Grandma & Grandpa Gardner could enjoy their new camper and I could get use to other people and learn to play "nice" with other kids! The owner of the daycare, Glenda, was nice enough to email my mommy pictures from my experience at her daycare! :)

Thunderstorms and Kickin' Back In My Easy Chair

Just kickin' back, havin' a "bah-bah!" Isn't life rough?

Picture above: Golf ball size hail from severe thunderstorm on July 20th, 2009. Picture below: The heavy rain that came after the golf ball size hail on July 20th, 2009!

Last night we had some bad storms. The first storm we had some brief, heavy rain and GOLF BALL size hail! Then, awhile later we had ANOTHER thunderstorm and we ended up in the basement because the tornado siren went off! Thankfully we didn't get a tornado or the baseball size hail they were predicting! Just some heavy rain, which makes my daddy happy because it is good for our lawn!

Grandma & Grandpa Chinn Drove 9 HOURS To Come SEE ME!!!!

Definitely enjoyed my time with my Grandma & Grandpa Chinn!

Here I am hanging out with my Grandma Chinn!

Me and my daddy "horsing" around on the living room floor! I don't know if you can see or not, but I now have FOUR TEETH! Three on the bottom and one on the top, front....the left-side!

Vroom-Vroom! Grandpa & Grandma Chinn brought me a motorcycle all the way from Missouri!

Grandpa Chinn had a super cool toy for me to play with...his pocket watch! Whenever I'd sit on his lap, I HAD to play with the pocket watch!

Greetings everyone! What a super busy and fun week/weekend! On Thursday, my Grandma & Grandpa Chinn arrived after a LONG drive from Missouri to visit me! Thursday night we also celebrated Great-Grandma Ruth Reynolds' 39th (he-he) birthday over at our house! Grandma Colleen fried up some chicken and baked a rhubarb cake and we had a par-tay! The food was yummy and the company was good! Friday, I spent the day with Grandma & Grandpa Chinn while mommy and daddy were at work. Then on Saturday night we went out for supper in Bird City, Kansas. Sunday, Grandma Chinn, mommy and me went to Goodland and did a little shopping while the "big boys" stayed home, of course! Grandma & Grandpa Chinn and daddy got mommy her big 30th birthday present (even though her birthday is a few weeks away yet)! It's a new patio furniture set called "conversation piece" (a loveseat, table and two chairs)! She LOVES it! Sunday night we had a BBQ and invited Great-Grandma Ruth over for supper. After supper, Grandma & Grandpa Chinn hit the road to get a start on their long drive back to Missouri. We sure miss them already! Can't wait to see them again, hopefully before the end of September when I turn one and my Uncle Jeremy and near future, Aunt Sam tie the knot!

Daddy's BIG Helper

Phew....Daddy and I had a BUSY weekend doing things around the house two weekends ago. First we put together two bookshelves that mommy got and then we tiled the "butler's room" in our house!

Here are some pictures of me being daddy's tool "go-fer" while he was putting together some bookshelves that mommy got for the house!

Future Plumber?

But MOMMY...why can't I put my hands in the toilet and splash around?

Let's see here...I think what you have is a faulty flapper? Let me try it out, just to make sure!

Me and my buddy...Grandpa Gardner discussing all the important happenings in the world!

Oh I love my daddy so...he is my best friend!

Greetings everyone! Happy 4th of July weekend! I hope everyone has a happy and safe Independence Day!

Things in my world are continuing to progress and happen so fast! I am currently 9 months old (40 1/2 weeks) and my first birthday is approaching very quick! I have learned to stand up and skirt around the furniture and walk with my "lawmower" over the last few weeks! It is a ton 'o fun! My daddy thinks I will be walking very soon! Again, LOOK OUT WORLD! Mommy has "baby-proofed" most of the house and the parts she hasn't, she shuts the door and blocks me out. What a party pooper! I continue to say da-da and now when I'm tired or cranky, I say mum-mum (mom)! I've also learned to say things like na-na which mom is convinced is me saying no-no! No-no seems to be common phrase around my house these days! I definitely do not understand why I can't play with electrical cords/outlets or try to stand up on the dishwasher door while it is down or play with cleaners or the trash can....I guess one day someone will explain it to me! :) I am fascinated with this big, rubber ball my mommy and daddy got me and I LOVE this big box that our new bathroom vanity and sink came in. I've started eating more and more table foods and absolutely love cheerios, especially when Grammy Gardner puts them in milk and lets them get soggy! YUMMERS! I have also started drinking water and juice and I love apple, pear and white grape juice. My daddy also discovered that I like grape Kool-Aid....LOL! My Grandma and Grandpa Chinn are planning a trip out to see me in July and I am VERY excited to have them visit. It will be so much fun to play with them and show them all the neat stuff I can do. I (we) MISS THEM VERY MUCH!

PLAY BALL

Here's a fun video of me and my mommy playing ball! Nothin' better than sittin' in the living room, in nothin' but a diaper, throwin' a ball around! :)

Walkin' Tall

Hey everybody! Sorry it has been awhile since I have posted any updates on myself! It has been CRAZY busy at my house! As you can see, I've learned quite a fun, new trick! I can stand up on this thing that my daddy calls "my lawmower" and walk around. My mommy and daddy sure get a kick outta me walking/running with this thing! It is so much fun...one of my favorite toys!
