I am 9 months old!

Last weekend we were in Bismarck & I got to go swimming for the first time at the Comfort Inn! I wasn't really sure what to think but I didn't cry. I was really relaxed while I was in the water!

See- totally relaxed! :)

This is me being silly on the recliner. Mommy was trying to get a nice picture of me sitting but I wasn't cooperating- as usual!

Yep- this is me standing! I am such a big boy already! I love to climb on things but haven't mastered taking any steps yet. But I will, don't you worry! I have to be ready for camping this summer so I can run around at the lake!

I sat still long enough for mommy to get one good picture of me sitting nice!

And this is me standing up along my cool toy! It was my exersaucer- it comes apart so I can use it to balance while standing and gives me something to play with at the same time!

Update from mommy: I had Eli in this week for his 9 month check up. He is 27 1/4" tall and weighs 16 lb 4 oz. He is barely on the charts for weight- he's in the 5th percentile!! Such a litttle peanut! :) Have a good weekend everyone & Happy Valentine's Day!

Finally, some pictures!! :)

Well, mom finally decided she better go out to grandma & grandpa's to put some pictures on the blog. Personally I think she should've done it a long time ago already!!
Well, I am getting naughtier by the day! I am starting to get into everything and I think I'm very funny when I do. I have 4 teeth now and 2 more coming in!

This picture was daddy's idea! Turned out pretty good!

Me & mommy playing at grandpa Rob's house.

Mommy was laying on the floor trying to get a picture of me but all I wanted to do was get the camera!

Playing in my ducky bathtub! I LOVE taking baths in it! It is so much fun!

Me being silly for the camera!

Update from mommy: We are patiently waiting to find a house in Beulah! We sold ours and should be closing before February. We had found a place here & made an offer only to find out we would have to carry flood insurance on it... Talk about disappointing! But we will keep looking and keep everyone posted when we find something!! Have a good week!!

Update

Sorry about the lack of posts lately. We are living in Beulah and don't have internet yet. Mommy will post pics as soon as she can. But I do have some news: I am crawling (a little wobbly yet though), I can sit up all by myself and I learned how to clap this last weekend!! Lots of milestones!
Take care everyone!!!

On to our next adventure!

Well, mommy starts her new job on Monday so this was our last weekend (not officially) in Bismarck. I was trying to help mommy do laundry & pack stuff up but I was more interested in the laundry basket. But I did take time out to pose for the camera! Am I cute, or what?! :)

BATH TIME!!! I love taking my baths and I figured out that I can roll over in the tub too so that's my new thing! I also figured out that when I'm on my back & I kick my legs really hard, I can splash mommy- now that's funny! I had water everywhere tonight!

Just more pictures of me playing on the floor!

First Halloween and some misc. pics!

Me and daddy just hanging out together! Well, daddy was hanging out- I was snoozin'!

Another of me and daddy!

Well, this was my first Halloween and I have to say, probably not the best! I wasn't feeling good all day so I was only in my costume long enough for mommy & daddy to get a couple of pictures. Hopefully next year will be more fun! I was still the cutest tiger ever though!

I did manage to smile a little for the camera! Sorry about not getting any of my whole costume...

GRRRRRRR!!!!!!! Am I a scary tiger?! :)

Auntie Jena stopped by for a little and mommy got a picture of us. Auntie Chandra stopped by too but mommy forgot to take a picture of me with her... Sorry Auntie! Thank you for the Halloween gifts though! I can't wait to watch my DVDs!
