Sparklers, Fireworks and Booms on July 4th

Yo. We just got back from the cabin and I'm mad because I didn't want to come home. I love it up there. Don't have time to write tonight because I'm busy getting ready for my baptism this coming weekend so...here are some of my fave pics from the long weekend celebrating July 4th at the cabin. For those of you that don't like to read my witty blog and only like to look at pictures (WONGER), this post is for you!

In no order what-so-ever...here's me stuffed like a fat guy in a little coat. This dang life jacket thing, I'm still not sold.
Chillin' on the boat. I loved the rockin' waves. In the mornings, Gpa read me books.

Here's me and in the background my cool Aunt Laura.I saw sparklers for the first time. Daddy was trying to put a sparkler in mommy's pants. I slept through the real fireworks. I thought I was dreaming.
Took my first walk along the beach...

At naptime, because I was so dang tired everyday from being outside, I didn't realize that it's not really that much better to put two pacifiers in my mouth. I tried, but it's not as good.

This was Mommy's "juice" - she wouldn't let me have any though. Not sure why.

Here's my new boat! Mom gave me a zoomin' fast ride.

Me and my cousins Michael and Rachel. Love you guys. Thanks for putting up with me eating your stuffed animals.
My uncle Bill.
I look so happy, don't I? Well, right after this photo - I barfed in Daddy's hair.

We got to have a fire by the lake!

Me and the boys just chillin' like cousins should...this is my "fake" smile. I was so sick of my Mom taking pictures I wanted to rip that camera right out of her hand!

I love my boat!
Dad caught a big bass. He went out fishing every day at 5am. That is totally insane if you ask me.
Leaving a video for you. I love, love, love the exersaucer right now and love to bouncey bounce bounce jump jump in it. Check it out. From my time at the cabin, I think Gma was hiding. Don't worry - I'll get some pictures of her next time!

My Aunt(s) ROCK!

So, check this: I met with Gpa/Gma Becker and Aunties Zoie & Ellie tonight for dinner at Chilis.

Me and my Gpa Becker. Those glasses? Yup, got those from Zoie. She said I look like a hot rod in these sunglasses. When she gave them to me she said "he's too little, he'll never know that they're girl glasses." Hello!!!!!! I was listening!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the orange soaked in Blue Moon Gpa! I've been barfing all night thanks to you. (Ha!)
Zoie & Ellie bought me this new tshirt that says "My Aunt ROCKS!" Here's me and Zoester showing off my new shirt. Then, I was getting so hungry, that I started to eat Ellie's shoulder...hey, Ellie - don't be afraid of a little drool, okay?Ellie, me & Mom. Prrrty good pic. I think this was taken right after I dropped all of my toys on the ground 50 times...and the cups and the sugar packets and the straws and the napkins and the bottle and the pacifier and the spoon and....
I'm exhausted and headed for bed. Good to see you Gpa, Gma, Z&E. Love you!

Rockin' Rogers

So, let's start with Friday. This weekend we got to whoop it up because it was Rockin' Rogers days here in my hood. What a great time. Friday, my friends Cooper, Crosby and Jade came over for a bit while the parents chatted and had some BLL's. (Bud Light Limes) Here's Croz...he is getting so big. Did you know that he is only 2 weeks older than I am? He is one huge dude.He's so huge, that I just sat at gazed into his eyes. Mom didn't get a good snap shot of Coop though, he was busy playing around!Here's my girl Jade. One minute she was there and the other minute she was gone. She got into her Mom's purse (Jen), found her wallet and started playing Accountant. After our house, we went over to the Shelli's house and her daughter Jenny babysat me, Coop and Croz while our parents went to the beer gardens and to listen to Johnny Holmes Band. It's kinda funny - whenever Mom goes out in a big group of people with crowd, everyone comments on how short she is. C'mon - 5'2" is not THAT short. Funny picture here of my parents taken right after someone told Mom that they thought she was shrinking.Of course, Mom & Jen had to be the ones that closed down the night while the others were responsible adults. From what I heard, it was worth it though - all exept Mom's raging headache on Saturday morning. So, on to Saturday! We rode our bikes to the Rockin' Rogers day parade and let me tell you, I LOVE bike rides.I got to watch the parade - and LOVED the bands and the drums. Hit a stick on a drum? That sounds easy - I can do that!That's what I had goin' on...pretty exciting! I've been a very happy boy this weekend; I love it when I get to go out and do stuff, play outside. Heading up to the cabin on Thursday night so probably won't post again until after the 4th of July. XOXO

Humidity = Curls

There are three things that I did today. Check it:

1. I celebrated my Mommy's 30th Birthday! To start off this special day, Daddy and I made her blueberry pancakes for breakfast. She opened up some presents and then we shopped for two hours! Shopping PUTS me to sleep - BORING!

2. We went on ANOTHER walk/jog. Well, I've been going on walks daily now with my mom because she needs to fit in her jeans. I'm gettin' a little sick of the 'ol ride (stroller) because it's so bumpy so I asked Mom if we could upgrade to the sweetness of the inSTEP. I'm still too little to sit up straight in this thing but she (MOM) is BRILLIANT! She put my car seat in and it fits just great! I took a great snoozer today as the wind was blowing through my goldie locks.
3. This afternoon, Auntie Laura, Cousins Rachel & Michael AND Gma & Gpa Sherck came to our house for a visist to celebrate Daddy & Grandpa's day and also to eat cake for Mommy's birthday! Gma Sherck brought over CHICKEN WINGS! These are my buds Michael and Rachel with me in the picture below.This is goofy Rachel, she's wearing her headlamp - duh, she was teaching me a karate move.Um....the new main blog picture above. NO, there was no curling iron involved. My hair is growing and with the humid weather we've had lately, I'm turning into some sort of Curly Q. Mom & Dad both had curls when they were little too. Now I have a mowhawk of curls.Here are the loves of my life, my heros, my pride and joy...

Happy Father's Day Daddy & Gpa Sherck (and all the other daddies/gpas)Oh, yeah - know what I made for Daddy for Father's Day? This cool frame with dinosaurs. He's gonna bring it to work with him and put it in his desk - or, maybe he'll put it on the dash of the fishing boat.
Im exhausted from all of the busy playing I did today. Heading to bed now. Ciao!

A day in the life....AT DAYCARE

You're right folks, I took my Mom's camera with me to "school" today so you can see what where I chill every day while my parents are slaving away at work.
Here are my buddies Gavin and Zach. If it weren't for them, I'd be playing with dolls, lipstick n' stuff all day long. Thanks guys for being there for me. This is my gal Brooke. Doesn't she have beautiful hair? Yes...I love to EAT IT. I like to jump in this jumparoo thingy. Uh, hum - notice my new camo shorts I'm wearing today. I'm already a outdoorsman at heart.
We had a dance party. Because I can't dance without a old person's help, I dance with the exersaucer. Behind me is Abby, Lauren, Brooke and Gavin. I think Shelli & Kari are rockin' out some rap music. Oh, wait - either that or Old McDonald had a farm.
Brooke & Lauren have reading time with me on the floor every day.
Kari!!!!!(she's the 2nd of my daycare ladies). Shelli hates getting her picture taken so she was the photographer today!
And here are a couple pics from Monday night. I'm REALLY getting into this reading thing. I was reading this book the other night. I don't really care that it's upside down; I swear I'm learning something anyway.
I'm leaving you with a video. I love being hit in the face with a diaper. Check it out! Lata everyone.......24 more hours and Daddy gets home!

Where is he?

Where is my Daddy? I'm getting a little sick of my Mom. I've been with her since this past Wednesday and it's getting a little annoying. She makes me clean up my toys, put the laundry in the basket and she doesn't even let me get dirty in the grass like Daddy does. She says that he gets home from Canada on Wednesday night. Thank the Lord.

She has though, been keeping me supa busy. I won't write a novel, but wanted to show you some of my favorite pictures from this weekend! The weather was smokin' so I got to hang out on the deck. I LOVE being outside.

We strolled to the park. That swing thing, that is pretty sweet.Then we went to another park for a picnic, beer and play time. No, I didn't drink beer buy Mommy & Jen did. I got to play with my main gal Jade. Jade was stealing my teething toy. I didn't mind though, she gave me her cookie wrapper to play with.This morning, we went to church. I wore this striped churchy-ish kinda outfit. I remember when my cousin Michael wore this when he was my age. Wait, what I meant was my MOM remembers. Hee. Have I told you that I'm a skinny thing but I have such a long torso that all of my close ride up my - YOU KNOW WHAT? It's just ridiculous. I'm wearing almost 9 month onesies now so they don't ride up my crack!
This afternoon was very special because I got to meet, in person the woman of my dreams. Her name is Reese. She's three weeks old. And, let me tell you; she looked like a BABE. She was all dressed up in this cute little yellow sundress just for my visit today. Isn't she beautiful?
After I was gentle with Reese and gave her kisses and rubbed her head, I rough-housed with her big bro Fuzz. I love him!
My Mom & Reese. Prrrrty cute if you ask me!
So, tonight we're getting ready for a busy week. Gma Sherck is coming over tomorrow night to watch me while Mommy catches up on work. That'll be pretty exciting.
Almost forgot! News flash! I'm ALMOST sitting up now on my own. Can't say that I am but I'm pretty close. I'm drinking water out of a sippy cup and will eat anything that my parents put in my mouth. I roll over like I'm break-dancing but its only to the right over and over again. Mommy has learned to put me on the floor on the right side of the room so I can roll to the other side. I'm teething too. I'm drooling like a crazy man, have diaper rash and am barfing more than ever (if that's possible) Honestly, today I'm in my fourth outfit because I messed all of the others. Bibs are worthless too because I normally fire-off any place besides the bib.
Gotta go for dinner. Tonight is peas and some chicken dinner stuff. WhooO!

Whew, I'm exhausted.

I'm exhausted because my aunts Zoie and Ellie just wore me out this weekend. My Mommy and I took a road trip to St. James this weekend to see my Gpa, Gma Lisa and Z&E. We just hung out...some of my favorite pics are posted below. By the way, I was very good in the 2.5 hr car ride, I didn't freak out one bit!
Zoie was by my side the ENTIRE weekend. I love it when she tickles me. What is up with her bedroom? It's so pinky girly I just could not believe it. I'm not really into the girly thing. I like boy stuff.
My aunts are just silly. They kept putting two frogs on my head and yelling "ribbit, ribbit" over and over again. Those frogs names are Bully and Hoppy.
This is me, pretty much this is what I look like. I'm pale white compared to Zoester.
This is a pic from Thursday night...my new favorite drink.
Gma Lisa...I was so excited I was just yelling "ahh ahh ahh ahh" as loud as I could. Notice the open mouth yell....
Mommy & Ellie. They're good buddies.
Yeah, like...such good buddies that Mommy spent 1.5 hrs helping Ellie put together this gigantic Pirate ship made out of cards. Phenomenal. That's all I have to say.End of the night on Saturday after Ribs that Gpa made. I went to sleep early because Mommy was going out partying with her friends. She stayed out until 1:30am...what was she thinking?

Busy week ahead of us. I'm helping get Dad all prepped for his trip to Canada for a WEEK. He leaves on Wednesday and I'm gonna miss that guy.

A tall & lean machine @ 6 months

Happy Birthday to me! I'm 1/2 year old now and so today I went to my 6 month check-up appointment with Dr. MaryBeth. Wow, I forgot how cool she is -but I realized that I really don't like those girls that work with her. Can you belive it, this girl came in today and shot me with THREE needles? I hated her for a few minutes but then smiled on my way out.
Here's the facts at 6 months:
*Weight: 15.3lbs (10th%)
*Height: 27" (75th%)
*Head size: 45cm (75th%)
So, what does this all mean? It means that I'm a TALL and LEAN machine! Dr. MaryBeth said I can keep eating cereal, fruits & vegetables - even should start eating lunch at Shelli's! (Right now I'm only eating dinner) She said I look good, look healthy and strong. I need to keep working on sitting up. I'm trying but I do face-plants a lot. One other bugger of a thing that has been bothering me since I was born - the darn gunky eye. I have a blocked tear duct that will not get better! Doc said that it's completely normal and should go away within a year, which is another 6 months. If not, she'll tell me what I need to do. I know how annoying it is for my parents & daycare to wipe my eye constantly. Oh well. Those shots are no fun. I'm doped up on tylenol now and just want my Daddy to hold me.
I hope you like the pictures. As you can see, my hair is getting longer and it looks like the color of my Mom's hair. It might get red though. I have so many cowlicks so I just do the comb-over thing.

I'm sleeping through the night tonight (NOT) because tomorrow I get to see Gma & Gpa Becker and Zoie & Ellie. YES

Shout out to my Great Grandma Becker (GGMAB)

GGMA Becker, this post is for you! I wasn't even going to post this weekend but I took this special pic from this afternoon just for you. I know that you check this blog daily and get soo excited when I write!I loved-up a couple nice days of weather this weekend. I got to go on walks the past THREE days with my Mom, went to Lowes, Cub Foods, Church, saw Gma & Gpa Sherck in Plymouth and the best part of the whole weekend was that I got to play outside a bunch! I love being in my walker now...on Saturday I spent a few hours in the garage with my dad while he & Mom were drinking beer with the neighbors! My little feet were black on the bottom. See my walker...those cute bears sitting on each side? Well, I like to EAT them! I take my hands and pull them close and then bite their ears as hard as I can. I sure can't wait until I get some teeth - I think it's coming soon, very soon. I've tried some new foods lately - now with my cereal I've been eating peas, carrots, pears, bananas, sweet potatoes and applesauce. I think I like green beans and bananas the best. Don't tell anyone, but mom gave me a piece of watermelon tonight. Swwweeeet!

Dad went out fishing this morning - and left the house at 5am. I heard him leave and was so mad that he didn't take me so I got up and would NOT go back to sleep so Mommy had to sit and watch Mickey Mouse cartoons with me in bed.

Did I tell you that I'm going to be taking my first flight (yes, an airplane ride) in Sept? I'm thinkin' about going to CA to see my Grammie California for a bit. Cool - I can't wait. I'm gonna scream the whole plane ride and give my Mom a major headache.

The dreadful 6 month check-up and shots is this Wednesday with Dr. Marybeth. I'll post after the appt and let you know how it goes.
