Ready to go

All ready to go...

I'll drive

Hmmm why won't the door open

What are you waiting for?

I'm a stylin' dude

Do you like my new hat as much as I do?

HI!!!

Not another picture mommy!

I'm on a mission!

I'm on the hunt....

Almost there....

He's within reach....

Wait where are you going kitty?

Mission foiled!

I'm going to catch that kitty some day!

I have 2 halloween costumes and I don't know which one to wear on Halloween. This being my first halloween, I'm new to all this. :)

Costume #1: Ice Cream Cone (mommy bought this along time ago, before I was born and even before she was married to daddy! Her maiden name was Kohn (cone) and so she thought it would be very cute for me to wear a cone costume. My head is too big for the cherry on top though)

Costume #2: Monkey (I'm always acting like a monkey so it's fitting that I would be a monkey. Mommy likes to call me her little monkey)

What do you think? Which one should I wear? Please add a comment and let me know what you think.

GO RAMS!

Watching my first football game on TV. The Rams won against Denver. I had more fun playing then I did watching. I think I would rather GO to a game then watch it on TV. But as you can see I was wearing my RAMS gear!

Exciting news....

This week has been full of exciting news! We found out that mommy and daddy's friends Laura and Brian are moving back to the Midwest from a place called California. I can't wait to meet them! I hope we will get to see them soon. I heard mommy tell daddy that after Aunt Lisa has her baby, she wants to go on a road trip to see Laura and Brian. I hope I get to go along!!

We also got news this week that daddy's friend, Chris is coming to St. Louis next weekend. He lives in a place called Ohio. I've never met him but daddy says that he really likes classical music so I bet there is going to be a lot of music listening next weekend.

I'm so excited to meet everyone! I can't wait!!! Maybe by the time I meet Laura and Brian, I will be walking......

Oh I forgot to tell you yesterday that I have learned how to give kisses too! I love kissing mommy and daddy.

So Busy!

I have been so busy learning all sorts of new things lately. I know how to say mama and I know exactly who that is. I scoot myself all over the floor and pull up on EVERYTHING! No more sitting in one place for me while mommy runs into the other room. I also know how to cruise around the furniture but that silly mama keeps moving things...but that's ok because I pull myself up to the couch and walk from one end to the other. (I'm usually trying to catch one of the puppies or kitties, but they won't let me) I've learned how to sing in church but I'm still trying to figure out when it's MY turn to sing. Mommy and Daddy shush me if the cantor is singing or if Pastor Pelsue is singing. I'm also learning how to clap and how to wave. When we went to the Olive Garden, I was waving to everyone! I also got to eat angel hair pasta...oh well maybe I played more with it then ate it.

I'm off to learn something else....

September 11, 2001 Tribute

Rebecca here: I heard this for the first time yesterday and found it to be absolutely amazing.

Silent Night 911

http://www.micrographicsolutions.com/silentnight911.mp3

You say you will never forget where you were when you heard the news on September 11, 2001.Neither will I.I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man who called his wife to say , "Good-bye."I held his fingers steady as he dialedI gave him peace to say, "Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is OK...I am ready to go."I was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast to their children.I held her up as she tried to understand his words and as she realized he wasn't coming home that night.I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a woman cried out for me for help. "I have been knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!" I said, of course I will show you the way home - only believe in me now."I was at the base of the building with the Priest ministering to the injured and devastated souls. I took him home to tend to his flock in Heaven. He heard my voice and answered.I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, with every prayer. I was with the crew as they were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the believers there, comforting and assuring them that their faith has saved them.I was in Texas, Kansas, London. I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news. Did you sense me?I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every name - though not all know me. Some met me for the first time on the 86th floor. Some sought me with their last breath.Some couldn't hear me calling to them through the smoke and flames; "Come to me...this way...take my hand." Some chose, for the final time, to ignore me ...but, I was there.I did not place you in the tower that day. You may not know why, but I do. However, if you were there in that explosive moment in time, would you have reached for me?September 11, 2001 was not the end of the journey for you. But someday your journey will end. I will be there for you as well. Seek me now while I may be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are "ready to go."I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.Remember, I love you ...

My first trip the playground

So Serious......

(actually mommy caught me while I was singing)

So much fun swingin'

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee

So big!

I had so much fun going down the slides, swinging (I held on tight) and riding the puppy dog when we went to the playground Friday. Mommy said that she is definitely going to take me more often since I had so much fun.

Bath time Fun

I LOVE bathtime now. Playing with Elmo, Cookie Monster, Ernie and splashing in the water is so much fun! But I wish mommy would stop taking my picture...doesn't she know a little boy needs his privacy with daddy???

Drinkin' and Drivin'

It's ok...it's only milk......this time. :)

Milo likes to use the computer when we aren't looking

Mommy's sick!

Mommy was sick all day yesterday so daddy stayed home to take care of me. I had fun playing with daddy, but I missed playing with mommy and giving her kisses. She's feeling better today, but she still doesn't feel like herself. I heard her telling daddy that she is still achy and that I am "REALLY" heavy. I don't think I am all that big. :( I hope she feels back to herself soon so we can play.

Marc's mommy is also sick. I hope she feels better soon too. I can't wait to play with Marc again.

The Little Gym

On Tuesday, Marc and I went to the Little Gym for a Bugs class. It was fun. We sat in a circle and sang songs and played. I loved crawling around on the floor. I wasn't too sure of the balance beam though. Even though mommy was close by, it was pretty high. I hope we get to go back again...

Bathtime fun!

Yeah...bathtime is so much fun again. Thank you everyone for your advice. Tonight mommy took a bath with me and I had so much fun splaishing everything. I even discovered that mommy and daddy had some new toys for me to play with. Mommy will try and post pictures of me in the big bathtub sometime this week.

Busy Busy Weekend

On Saturday, Mommy and daddy went and bought a gate to keep me out of the kitchen, but I think it is really for our silly puppies. I think it is funny when the puppies are stuck on one side and I'm on the other. I like to laugh at our silly puppies when they whine for the gate to be opened.

After church on Sunday, we met my friend Marc and his mommy and daddy and some of their friends at the Greek Fest. (http://www.stnicholas.missouri.goarch.org/GreekFest/default.htm) It was alot of fun, but there were so many people there. We almost lost mommy when she went and got food. She was gone for a really really long time. Mommy told me that I get to try Greek food next year. I can't wait. Mommy's Pastitsio looked really good and so did daddy's Lamb shank. I can't wait to try all that food myself. Mommy and Daddy had a really yummy looking sundae too. Mommy said I'm going to have to wait awhile before I get one of my own. :(

On Monday I had so much fun. I got to see Marc and his mommy and daddy again. Daddy bbq's for them. I can't wait until I get to eat BBQ. It looked and smelled so good! Daddy says I need more teeth to eat one of mommy's burgers. Oh well maybe next year. Marc and I had so much fun playing. I even shared some of my toys after mommy reminded me. I like Marc and I'm glad that our mommies and daddies are friends. After Marc left, I was very very sleepy so after bathtime, it was bedtime.

I hope you had a good weekend!
