February 2006

Another giant month for me!  I became a mobile beast, met my cousin, and got bigger and stronger!

Here's a picture of me and my daddy having a good old time!

Here's me and my Daddy's friend Steve.  He's a snappy dresser and puts goo in his hair just like my Daddy!

We met him out for lunch, and I was showing him where to put the food. 

I'm a great pointer now, and love to push food around gently with my index finger before smashing it with my monster hand!




I finally got to fly down to Virginia and meet my cousin Diego!  (Lots of pictures of him here

Look how happy I am!  He was like a little toy, and even though I tried to play with him, Mommy and Daddy wouldn't let me. 

Props to Diego for letting me stay in his crib.  Sorry for leaving my tooth marks on the railing, but it's what I do.

Here we all are!  Me and my Mommy and Diego and my Aunt Sabrina. 

Yes, Mommy made us wear matching shirts...neither Diego nor I were very happy about that as you can see by our faces!



What a cute picture of us, right?  See how gently I'm holding my cousin?

Well, it took a bunch of pictures to get to this point!  Follow Diego's bouncing head below...that's me shoving him back and forth...what can I say...I've got to show I'm the man of the house!





Since my Uncle Gil is such a muscle guy, and since he let me stay in his house, I decided to show off my bulk to him and the family. 

Grabbing the crotch is a sign of manliness too...I'm showing Diego and Gil how it's done!


Still loving my bathtime!  Here I am getting all bubbled up, and mugging for the camera.

See that soap dish behind me there? I can reach up, grab that, and stand up with my butt sticking straight out faster than my Mommy can catch me!  Ha Ha!!!

And yes, I need a haircut, but Mommy says I have to wait until I'm a year old.
Look how spiffy I am in my puppy-dog towel.  I'm clean, I'm dry, and BOY am I cute!

As you can see, I can stand when someone holds me by a hand, and I can walk if you stand behind me and walk with me!

And I spent most of the month trying to figure out how to get my bulk up off the ground so I could move by myself. 

Here I am pushing and pushing and pushing!  Did I figure it out?  See below!


Click on the link at left to watch me go.  This was the second time ever that I crawled, and it's caught on tape! 

I was heading towards a pretzel there on the floor by-the-way ... my favorite food!
And crawling isn't all I can do!  This position is also great for dancing. 

This is how I dance now (only to music that I like), this time to Michael Buble, who has a darn funny name.

Well, this is the end result of my mobility.  I'm a caged animal!  There are gates everywhere, and I feel like a monkey in a zoo. 

I'm not sure why ... then again I've already whacked my head against a few things and tried to unplug everything in sight, so maybe I'm a danger to myself and others, and all the bars make sense!
