Happy Birthday to me, I'm 10 months old and I'm going to a MN TWINS game!

Whew time flies and I've been a slacker about writing on my blog. Ten months old? Yup - sure am growin' fast. Right now, at 10 months old, here are some of the things that I'm doing:

1. I'm eating all people food: hotdogs, pot roast, cheetos (yes), just 'bout everything. I'd rather eat any meat than fruit & veggies

2. I'm crawling all over like a speed racer

3. I pull myself up on everything and am starting to walk along the coffee table

4. I open ever single drawer that I can see, I pull everything out of the drawer and throw it on the ground

5. When Mom & Dad aren't watching, I open the lid to the toilet and I play in the water

6. I drool a lot and I still don't have a single darn toooof

7. I like to sing La La La La

8. I'm starting to wave bye-bye

9. I'm in LOVE with Mickey Mouse Playhouse

10. Still getting up about once in the middle of the night

11. I love to pull Mommy's hair and rip Daddy's sunglasses off of his face

12. Every day, I turn my humidifier in my room on & off about 2,000 times (in a row)

13. I eat kleenex

14. I can crawl up an entire flight of stairs

15. Not a big fan of cuddling...when it's time to go to bed, just put me in my crib.

We've been good at the Sherck household except for a nasty 48 hr flu Mom had earlier this week so we've been kickin' it at home. Daycare is a blast still and this week I've gotten to wear some new jean's n' stuff because it's getting frigid.

This weekend on Saturday Me, Dad & Gpa Sherck are going to my first ever Twins game. Not sure if I'm really into baseball yet (a little boring on TV) but, should be a fun adventure. Pics of me are from the past few days just hangin' at 10 months old!

13 Fun AND 1 Not So Much Fun

What is the definition of FUN?

1. Happy Hour with my buddy Rylan. He is one cute dude. He likes to talk too - he gabbed the entire happy hour.
2. Going to my buddy Zach's FIRST Birthday party. I guess I have to wait another 2.5 months before I get a huge sugarrry cake thing. Pic below is, Zach's Mommy, Aimee, Zach, Mom & me.3. My aunt Zoie & Mommy making funny faces is fun(ny)

5. Taking my first airplane ride to CALIFORNIA is Fun! Mom told me to wave at the Pilot but he must've been hiding cuz i couldn't see him.6. Seeing Gma & Gpa Durham (I call them Gma & Gpa California) - I love them!Gma - thanks for taking care of me and wining and dining me with yogurt n' stuff. And...for taking me shopping. I'm gonna look like like a stud this fall.

7. My Gma has a SWIMMING POOL, uh hem, IN HER BACK YARD! That is what I call...FUN!

8. Playing dress up in my new shades.9. Touching my little toesies in the chilly ocean for the first time ever at Newport Beach, CA(and not the last). I'm sure glad a shark didn't bite me.

10. Traveling with my Mama. Thanks woman for putting up with me on the flights...

11. Learning how to say cheeeeeeez for the camera is fun (thanks Gma CA for teaching me)
12. Fun is being 9.5 months - I have a great life.

13. Fun is being back home from my trip and FINALLY getting some time to spend with our whole family together with Daddy NOT traveling! Yippee.

So, you're wondering....what is NOT SO MUCH FUN?

1. Traveling back on an airplane from California with a 103 temp, a cold, 2 pink eyes and a double ear infection. I'm feeling MUCH better thanks to that nasty goopy pink stuff that Mama & Dada tie me down and force me to drink 2x a day. Duh parents, that stuff is nasty!

See ya!

Allergy season...ha-choo!

Labor day means that summer is almost over. Not fair! Last weekend we were at the cabin with the Gpa & Gma Becker, A Zoie, A Ellie, A Cami, U Ryan & Gma & Gpa Sherck. It was a blast.

Cami loved me up and Ryan, I don't really like him for some reason. So, he went out fishing with my dad instead of hangin' out with me. Hey, Ryan - that's as big as you could catch 'em? Geez...didn't Cami score 2 huge smallmouth bass while reading a cooking magazine?
Aunts Zoester and Ellie Monster.

Here's me, my mom and all of her sisters.

Zoie and Ellie went fishing with dad - check out all of those fish they caught!

We went on a boat ride to Zorbaz for pizza & beer! So, you're wondering where I am because I'm not in this picture? Well, obviously I slammed too many drinks because I'm passed out on 2 chairs against the wall.Hey mom - nice red glow.

I went tubing too! Well, kind of...I went tubing in the yard but it was just as much fun as the water. Check me out, I was waving to the girls riding by in a boat.

I read books with Gpa Sherck - old books about old cessna planes. See that book shelf? I can pull out every single book on that thing. It's awesome...Gpa puts them all away for me.

Gpa Becker! You make me laugh. Everyone keeps telling me that I look like you. It's TRUE!

Gma Lisa reading me a book.

One last thing about the cabin...I love it n' all but, every time I go up there I sneeze and sneeze and sneeze. And, my nose is jammed up and then it runs all day. Mom said it's something about allergies but I have no idea what those are.

I'm getting psyched for my trip in 3 days to California to stay with Gma & Gpa Durham for 5 days. Forecast is 95 & sunny so I'm planning on bringing my SPF. Hmm....how will Mom keep me busy for 3.5 hrs on my first plane ride?

A Prick, the Digits and a Shot

Hoooray! Whew, I lived through my 9 month check-up appointment. Well, why wouldn't I be happy when I had my sugar pie Dr. MaryBeth gaze into my eyes?
She said I'm doing great, healthy and everything is completely normal. This is good news, right?The day started out with a finger prick, followed by my Digits and concluded with a flu shot.

Here's the low-down: Show me the love people...
Height: 28.5" (50%)
Weight: 17.4lbs (5%, a LEAN MACHINE)
Head size: 45.5 (50%)

What does this mean? It means I'm skinny and normal. ROCK ON!
Here's me and Mom just chillin' waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting.

We got home, I got a treat of cheetos for being so good and now getting ready to pack for my trip to the cabin this weekend with a BUNCH of my relatives. I can't wait!

XOXO

Peace out.

Nine months old @ the State Fair

Happy Birthday to me - on Friday I turned 9 months old! I have been a busy man. Picture blogging tonight, I'm exhausted from the weekend! Weekend started out with a playdate at the park with Reese & Fuzz. Here's a pic of Reese, she's my sweet tootsie pop.

Here's Fuzz, just being his old self. Someday I want to get a buzz cut like he has.

Then, Fuzz took me to the sand box. What, I didn't do anything?!?! It tasted good!!!Jenna, Erin & Koen came over to our house too this weekend for a bit. Here's me and Koen. He's just a little guy at 8 weeks but I can't wait until he learns to wrestle. Whenever he would cry, I would squeal like a little girl. Erin & Koen. PS: I am in LOVE with Erin because she kisses me all over.Just another bath in the sink. I love it. Don't worry Gmas & Gpas - Mom is watching me like a hawk so I don't turn on the hot water. Today, State Fair mania. Some of the fave pics attached. What? You said you want a list of things that I ate at the fair today? Corndog, watermelon, choco chip cookies, pretzel and french fries. Sure hope my doctor isn't reading this..

I ate the whole bucket of fries and was getting the slim pickin's at the bottom too.

There were so many bleepin' people there today, I asked Dad to lift me up in the Food building so I could see what was goin' on.

Just chillin' while I let my food settle in my belly. Oh, did I tell you that I napped for about a whopping 45 minutes all day today?

Ever wonder what I'll look like when I get bigger? Think I'll still have my pacifier when I'm this old too? (My Parents just crack up at this picture) Corn dog man.
That's all I have for tonight. I have my 9 month doctor's check-up appt on Wednesday so I'm sure I'll post a quick ditty to give you the skinny on my health and how I dealt with ANOTHER round of shots. Wish me luck!

Spaz Chicken

Definition of Spaz Chicken: A 9 month old blonde boy who flails around, running and crawling wild like a chicken with his head cut off. This name, Spaz Chicken is my new nickname that my dad gave me. And, my mom calls me Monkey Boy because I climb all over her.

Gettin' down to business - Happy Bday Gpa Becker, 2 days late. Sounds like you had some nice carmel brownies for bday cake. Yum.

Finally got a chance to have some Dad time. He was home last weekend so we had fun! We ran to Costco, to Best Buy (bought a new TV because our other one crapped out), and then it was just Dad and I while Ma chilled with Wonger, Cracky & Anna for sushi. While she was gone, Dad & I played with the "toy" below and then we lowered my crib because I was about to crawl out of it.Next week I have my 9 month check-up appointment. I'll be 9 months old this Friday. I think I'm the only 9 month old on this earth that doesn't have any toofs (teeth). Now, I'm drooling a lot and just sticking out my tounge, like the picture below. This is me and my lady friend, Paige. Ain't she just booiful. Mom & I went over to our friends Wayne & Shannon's house to see their new baby, little Kassidy Rae. I didn't really care about her but only wanted to play with Paige the whole time. I was pinching her butt in this picture.
Baby Kassidy! Hot stuff! Congrats to Wayne & Shannon!

A last video for you. I'm all over the place - want proof? Check it out. Here's me last Friday night in my walker. I cruise around - and pull out all of the drawers in the kitchen.

I fly like Superman.

Well, remember last post when I was "almost" crawling? That is no longer - I am now a racer man and I can FLY. Literally FLY. I have flown and bumped my head and fallen more times in the past week than I have my entire life. I even "flew" off of the diaper changer station - No bruises yet though, I'm one tough cookie. I would rather not have a diaper on so the whole changing-the-diaper thing...well, I'm making it a challenge for my parents these days. I can also pull myself up to my knees and almost to standing position.

Last weekend we headed to the cabin again. I was a little bummed because I was so excited to go swimming and it RAINED the entire weekend. Shucks. First of all, Mickey was there on the TV! I swear that he is only on TV at my house but he comes to the cabin too!

Wrestlin' with Gpa. I won by the way.

Watched the PGA with Dad.

Read books with gma.

I took a bath in the laundry room sink.

The most fun part of the weekend, I caught this big fish. I know, I know - my Dad looks a little scared in this photo (who knows what he's doing) but I didn't even want to touch that thing.

I've been chillin' with the old lady the past couple days since Dad has been out of town for work. Let me fill you in with what went down the past couple days after school:

1. Grocery Shopping: Some nice old man came up to me and said "Hi Sonny" and I SCREAMED in Cub Foods. Not a whimper, but a SCREAM and would not stop until Mommy picked me up.

2. Happy Hour at Champps: threw a fit because I couldn't eat any chicken wings and drink any beer. I officially did the "throw a fit" stiff body thing that other kids do. Well, c'mon - what am I suppose to do - Mom actually thinks that a piece of celery and a cracker are going to satisfy me?

Off to bed for the night. Bye!
