My First Steps

Today I took the plunge and took my very first steps!


Holding onto Daddy while he gets me started...


Here I go!


I'm tired of performing. Is it bedtime yet?

Just Hangin' Around...

Hi everybody!


Who me? I'm not getting into any trouble.


I just love posing for the camera...

11 months!

Tomorrow I will be 11 months old! Only one more month until my birthday!


I love my nuk.

"Yuck!"

Well, it's official. I have a first word (besides "mama" & "dada"). I have learned how to say the word "yuck". Maybe this is my first word because I hear it when I'm about to put an unidentified object from the floor into my mouth, or when I'm headed towards the toilet brush in the bathroom. Either way, it's fun to say, and I've discovered that saying "yuck" after I spit some food out of my mouth just seems to feel right.

The other bit of news has to do with the red spots around my mouth. Mommy and I both have a contagious bacterial skin infection that we caught on our trip to Manitoba. Hopefully our antibiotics will heal us up quickly, because I'm getting very bored of staying at home!

My Trip to Manitoba

Mommy & I just got home from our trip to see all my relatives in Manitoba. I saw my Granny & Grandpa Harder, lots of Aunts & Uncles (even Great Aunts!) and ALL 8 of my cousins. I got to fly on the airplane with my Mommy. I was mostly a good boy and slept part of the trip, but being in a tight space for that long is no easy task for a big baby like me!

Here I am in Grandpa Harder's hot tub!


This is me with my Great Aunt Bertha, my cousins Kailyn & Josh, and my Auntie Nichole who is holding baby Noah.


These are my other Great Aunts, Hilda & Martha.


My cousins Olivia & Maddy.


My cousins Cassidy, Liam & Aidan.


Liam & I are only 5 months apart and already playing together so nicely!
