Memorial Day Weekend '11

Having fun at the San Antonio "Kiddie Park!"

Whew - so excited!! 

Riding the mechanical horse with Mommy!

Vroom...vroom! Riding the mechanical motorcycle with Daddy!

Starting to get a little hot...and a little tired!

My cousins and me! Three good-lookin' boys!

Our sweet little family!

All the guys riding the carousel!

I'm going to grab that camera, Mommy!

Daddy strapping me in so I can ride with cousin Jeffery!

Jeffery showing me how this thing works!

Okay, I got it...let's goooo!

Jaxson riding behind us!

Hey, Jeffery, do you think this is fun, too?!?!

At lunch at Rainforest Cafe...this is my "what the heck was that" face! (The "thunderstorm" had just started in the restaurant, and Cohen didn't exactly know what to think of it!)

Poor Mommy...I was asleep before our food even got to the table! (Mommy note: I've gotten really good at eating with one hand!)

Memorial Day weekend, my Mimmy and my two cousins, Jeffery and Jaxson, came to visit us. On Sunday, we went to the Kiddie Park - an amusement park with 1920's-era park rides. Us boys had a great time, and I even got to ride a couple of rides! We went to lunch at Rainforest Cafe after that, and then home where I CRASHED! I was so worn out, but I had an awesome time! :)

9 months old!

 Before my fourth haircut...

...and after my fourth haircut (not combed very well, though!)

Playing with some balls!

My favorite thing is to hit them together to see what sound they make!

My new (bad) habit...napping in Mommy or Daddy's lap in the evening! It's hard work doing all this growing!

I'm just growing up so fast. Mommy and Daddy say they can't believe I'm already nine months old. My greatest developmental milestones so far are: crawling EVERYWHERE - and fast!, pulling myself up and walking along the furniture (or Wally, whichever is closer...), and getting into mischief! I'm also teething big time - which means I can be quite the grump! The next thing they know, I'll be walking! Watch out! :)

Mommy's first Mother's Day!

CRAZY hair! This is what Mommy woke up to on Sunday morning!

I was very specific and told my Daddy what we should get Mommy for Mother's Day. He picked out this beautiful ring with my birthstone in it (Peridot)!

Mommy and me getting ready to go out to eat with Grammy and Daddy for Mother's Day!

Mommy note: I had a wonderful first Mother's Day - complete with such a sweet present from my boys, and a lovely dinner with my Mom! Couldn't have asked for a better day! :)

Trip to Fort Worth!

Sitting with my Mimmy - thinking to myself, I'd sure like to get down and go play!

What fun!

Mommy and Daddy took me swimming at the hotel! It was my first time!

Fun in the pool with Daddy - but at this point, I was fading fast! Nap-time, please!

Someday I'm going to get my Mom for this!!

Naked as a jay-bird in the hotel room!

My cousin Jeffery had a baseball game, so we went to Fort Worth to see him play! His team won and it was a lot of fun to watch! I had a good time at the hotel, and was a VERY well-behaved young man the entire weekend! :)

Growin' like a weed!

Making a mess with my green beans! My new favorite thing to do is to blow raspberries with food in my mouth!

Busy playing my piano!

A pianist in the works, I'd say!

But wait! I don't really like what I'm feeling here!

 Somebody help me! My feet fell asleep! (Or at least that's what my mom figured!)

Just woke up from a nap and was enjoying some green grapes inside my mesh teether!

Being a pest while Mom was washing dishes, so she gave me a "drum!"

Just hanging out in the kitchen!

I'm just growing up so fast! Mom and Dad keep one of the two cameras handy so everyone can see just how big I'm getting! Enjoy! :)
