Which way to the gym?

Been working on my muscles recently. There's a bunch of cute girls at Miss Samantha's house, so I need to show off for them. Two of my work outs include:

1) Holding my own bottle when I eat... This takes a lot of arm strength, builds my forearms as well as my biceps.

2) Working on my six pack abs! I do this by sitting up on my own. Normally it only lasts anywhere from 5 to 30 seconds, but I'm getting there! See the concentration on my face?

Oh man!! Mom, turn off the camera!! I can't let anyone see how I failed this workout!

(At least my sister was there to soften my fall....)

Bumbo Growth Chart - Six Months

Can it really be? Am I truely six months old now? Where did the time go? Just the other day it seems like Jesus was telling me it was time to be born and now I'm already six months old! Time sure does fly!! I wish I could tell you my specks - but my six month doctor check up instead until I'm seven months.... You see, my sister turned 2 years old a few days after I turned 6 months. So Dad made our appointments together - and the first time they had two back to back appointments available was still about a month away. At my four month check up, I was very tall for my age, and average on weight. We'll see how I stack up now! Needless, here is my most recent Bumbo Growth Chart photo. (Yes, I suck my thumb...a lot...)

Ironically, all six of my photos can be grouped with the photo in the same column... In month 1 and 4, I'm wearing green and white and showing much emotion. In month 2 and 5, I'm wearing brown and off-white. And in month 3 and 6, I am sucking my thumb while pondering life and looking to the side. (Actually, in both of these, I was watching my clumsy sister falling down most likely).

Raspberries...

I just learned how to blow raspberries....and I do it all the time. Oh, the reason I am moving a lot in this photo, for some reason I love to kick my left leg - which moves my whole body.

Who do you think I look like?

The maternal side of my family has some pretty common facial features that run in the family. My sister got some parts of it, but everyone says I have it full force. Some days Mom thinks I look like cousin Ethan and some days like Uncle Eric. I look a little like my sister, but not so much. Who do you think I look like?

Two! Dylan's Birthday Party...

My friend Dylan turned two years old this week and he had a big birthday party. I thought it would be fun, so I convinced Daphne and the fam to go with me. While there, everyone was eating food and cake - and my sister was playing with toys. (Of course) But she came up to me and asked me how old Dylan was turning. Here's a picture of the event as it was happening...And here is a zoomed in version of the photo. I was clearly holding up two fingers, showing Daphne that Dylan (who is the little boy in the photo too) is turning two. I'm a big boy! I'm wearing my Oshkosh outfit that my friends Noah and Levi bought for me. And don't forget my Keds tennis shoes that help me stand up! (I'm pretending that Dad isn't helping hold me up....)

We've got lots of friends with Birthday's in January. There's a full list on Daphne's blog. Sorry if we forgot your birthday - if we did, leave a comment here or email my mom....

Daphne...sharing?

Having a big sister can sometimes be ....interesting. I think she forgets I'm still a baby, that I'm only five months old. Most times she doesn't want to share with me, but somedays she shares...too much. Like the day she tried to share her cup and Cheerio's. Sure it was nice, but I couldn't do anything with them....

Meeting Hannah

I have several girlfriends, but Hannah is my newest one! She's so cute! I just met her the other day and we already have held hands! (Don't tell any of my other girlfriends!)
