happy holidays to you!

i wish you a very merry christmas full of cheer.

play

i'm crawling fast, pulling myself up on just about everything i can find. i search everywhere for new things to put in my mouth.

i enjoy all varieties of paper. this came on my new winter snow pants. can't wait to test them out to see if they keep me toasty warm out in the frosty air.

a special present from auntie kasey arrived yesterday. mom and dad haven't stop raving about these mandarin oranges. thanks auntie kasey!

the paper is my favorite part of the package!

be together

here we are at uncle rich's house celebrating grandma diane's birthday. jane and rich made a wonderful dinner while mom and dad made her cake. would you like a slice?

max and grandma blew out her candles, but i knew i wasn't getting any of the sweet stuff so i lost interest.

meet my new friend kinsley. she lives in denver. my mom and her dad went to college together. we had fun playing around.

she had pretty things in her hair. i almost have it now! look out she is fast.

vacation in florida

arriving in florida after a smooth plane ride. grandma and grandpa clark took us on a family vacation with my mom and dad, uncle rich and jane. we had quite an adventure! it's fun messing around on top of my luggage.

grandpa said it was okay for me to go on the airboat ride on the everglades. this airboat was flying across the water! we are looking for crocodiles.

the big ear phones protect my ears from the loud boat engine.

i was a little bored, until we found a croc!

they sleep during the day so we only saw one. it was pretty cool!

florida part two...i'm seven months old

the view from our condo. pretty nice considering grandma reis called to tell us there was ice and snow back home!

relaxing on the patio in fort lauderdale

we enjoyed a nice dinner out along the inter coastal water. guess what? i'm 7 months old today.

what a week, mom and dad are all mine all day, everyday!

umm, i love this orange ball.

i can get a nice grip on it.

i have the best uncle rich, have you ever met him?

florida part three...

i love it when dad tickles me. someday i'll be able to get him back!
