T-Minus 6 days until I'm ONE YEAR OLD

Thinking back almost one year ago at this time, I was sitting in Mama's tummy all ready to shoot on out for my Birthday on Nov 28th! This has been the best year in my entire life. I am so thankful everyday for my family, health and the enormous amounts of LOVE that I have in my family. I've been a buzzzy little bee lately...but a quick update on what I've been up to!
Last weekend, it was awful and Dad came down with the icky FLU so he couldn't come with us but we met Gpa & Gma Becker, Zoie & Ellie at their hotel for swimming! Besides the big pool being a little chilly, it was a blast! Just like before, I LOVE THE WATER.
On Sunday, Daddy was still not feeling too well and Mom had to fly on an airplane to Michigan for work so, it was just awesome. I SKIPPED two days of daycare and had a chance to stay overnight at Gma & Gpa Shercks while Daddy was resting. Gpa read me books... I helped Gma sweep her magazines into the pot....

I slept through the night (both nights) and ate like a champ because Gma is the best cook around! Don't tell Mom, but Gma held me in her arms a lot which was awesome. So awesome that this past week I've been hanging on Mom's pant leg yelling "mama mama mama mama mama" because I want her to pick me up.

Dada is finally feeling better. This weekend, a quick salad and beer at Applebees Friday night, and Saturday Dad went pheasant hunting with his friend Jacob and we had he and his wife Kathleen over for dinner. That guy Jacob, what was he doing? He got out this umbrella thing, big lights, and a huge camera and he was chasing me all over the room taking pictures of me. Something about Christmas pictures???!?!? Nope, not sharing with anyone until Christmas arrives....I ended my weekend by watching the Vikes game with my main gal Jade. I wore my Vikes outfit and she wore her dress thing and was shakin' her bootie.

The latest thing for me, I'm almost walking (will walk around a coffee table and walk along the wall), I still have one tooth on the bottom and another one is poppin' through, I counted that yesterday I said the word "Mama" 4 million times, I love puzzles, I'm trying to feed myself with a fork/spoon, you can see in the pics that my hair is ALWAYS messy and I'm starting to get a curly mullet and I STILL DO NOT KNOW how to go down the stairs backwards on my tummy. Anyone have any suggestions?

Peace out. Heading to STJ for Thanksgiving and Bday party #1 and a 2nd round Bday party next Saturday. Cannot wait!!!

What does a cow say?

Well, what is new with me?

1. I'm a talking machine (surprise, surprise because my Mom never stops talking) I can't really say many words that people understand but the little kids at daycare understand me. In the morning when I wake up? Nope - I don't cry, I just sit and talk to my animals.

2. I have one tooth that popped through on the bottom. I love gnawing on anything to make them feel better. Can't wait to start biting the kids at daycare...ha, just kiddin'.

3. T-minus 19 days until I'm ONE YEAR OLD. No big birthday bash this year - but we are going to celebrate with gmas, gpas, aunts and family.

4. This past weekend was awesome. Spent Saturday biking with my parents at Baker Park and then we went to the bar for beer & popcorn. Saturday night was boyz night with me and my DADDIO - mom ditched us for girl's night and we had a blast. Dad and I chilled: we cleaned the garage, ate cheetos for dinner, and watched hockey. I love that guy.

5. I'm eating much more than I did the past few months. I think I'm finally going to start gettin' chunks legs.

6. I know how a cow, a dog and a duck talk. Ma tried to catch a video of me, buy my favorite what I normally do is "oooooooooooooooooooooo", which means "moo" but I always forget to do the "mmm" sound. I'm a little rascal, whenever Mom tries to take a video of me - I'll try to grab the camera from her hand! Dad was fishing on Sunday so we were playing trying to keep busy. Sure happy he's home from the Suriname Jungle!!! XOO

Rock on, it's Halloween 2009

So, I had my choice this year: what was I going to be for halloween? Here are my two options:
1. A Viking: I couldn't even get the boots on because this sucked THAT bad. 2. Yes a PANDA. This costume...don't even let me get started. I love it because it's not so scratchy but c'mon, don't I look like a wuss, (I mean girl?)

So, this question..."what are you going to be for Halloween?" Well, sheesh, I dont even know what Halloween is but I do know that I went to some party yesterday at daycare and it was NOT COOL. I had to dress up in this panda costume and it was...JUST NOT FUN. I love the kids n' all but as you can see below I wasn't too happy. I'm going through a little whimpy, fussy phase lately.But, yeah, I'm happy now I'm the kinda kid that doesn't really want chocolate or sugary treats...I'm a chip kinda person like Mama and Auntie Ellie. Gimmmeee Chips and some'-in salty and dip'n'stuff. Tell me one thing: Why don't they bag up puff popcorn, veggie sticks, or cheese puffs for treats? This sure BAFFLES me... I got this bucket at Shelli's house. Have you ever met Shelli and Carrie? My mom and dad think that they are angels sent from heaven. Thank you Shelli & Carrie for taking care of me and showing me how to be a gentleman with the LADIES! XOXO I went over to go and see Peyton & Lucy, they are Wonger and Joe's new puppies! I'm in love with those chicks....we're already givin' hi 5's n' stuff.

I have a case of the Guh-Oh's

Just crackin' me up tonight...know what? My Aunt Ellie. I guess she's leaving notes all around Gma & Gpa Becker's house and left this one on the table tonight. Can you figure out what it says? I don't understand it but my Mom was sure CRACKIN UP laughing! They just got back from a trip to Disney - lucky ducks! Here's Aunties with Gpa Becker. I think Gma was hiding behind the camera. The girls took a Pirate Adventure. Too bad I was too little to attend the festivities.
They had their annual Asian playgroup Halloween Party. SCARY!

Last pic, this is me and what I like to do lately. If I come to your home and visit, you may want to put a lock on the frig because I will climb that thing to the top to grab the hot mustard! I'll pull something off of the shelf, it will fall to the ground and I yell "guh-oh" over and over again until someone comes running after me. Yeah, I don't like saying "uh-oh" so I just say "guh-oh" At night when I'm going to bed I also chuck all of my pacifiers out of the crib and yell "guh-oh, guh-oh guh-oh mama, guh-oh"

Friends.

Yeah, I threw a partaaay at my house tonight. Friends - even though they steal my toys I still like them. Mom keeps saying this word "SHARE" and I just simply DONT UNDERSTAND. We were movin' and shakin' the entire time that I barely had a chance to grab the camera. We're little fiesty ones...

Here's Jade. She's almost 2. Even though she is beautiful and has these beautiful gold locks, she is a fighter when it comes to the humidifier. Man, she would not let me touch that thing........c'mon....that is my favorite toy!?!? Rockstart Buddy Koen. He talked the entire night. I have no idea what he was saying...but all I know is that he was sitting in my bumbo chair and loved it. I HATED sitting in that thing but he told me he loves it. Whatevs.

I know Jade looks like she's eating Koen, but she's really just trying to kiss him. Her Mommy Jen taught her how to kiss boys already! No surprise (kidding Jen)

Me and Koen chillin. Notice: Even though I don't have any teeth, I still like to eat bread - WHOLE slices of bread.

Best part of all - Mommy's bestest friend Cracky. Don't even ask how she got that nickname but she has been gone for a long time living in Africa and Mama is so happy to have her home in the US. She does the best pig oink I have ever heard in my entire life!

I've been so great at blogging lately that I may take a rest. This blogging this is exhausting! What is new with me? What am I doing right now? Well, I'm saying "uh oh" over and over again, I say "mama" and all I want to play with is electronics (tv, phone, remotes, computers, etc) No, duh...not play ones but the real ones. I want buttons and lights n' stuff.

The Perfect Punkin and a Camera Crazy Mama

Oh, what a fun day. Today Mom and I took a trip to the Pumpkin patch. I got to pick out my first pumpkin. I was so annoyed that Mom kept trying to take pictures of me but sheesh, she is just insane sometimes. I was not cooperating and didn't feel like smiling or even looking at the camera.

At first, I was meditating with the Pumpkins...And then, I was watching the tractors go by. And then I made friends with the pumpkins and put my arms around them. Uh, hem...notice my Vikings outfit?I went searching for the best pumpkin in the patch. What do you think about these?Bingo! Here's my first pumpkin! It's PERFECT!

Here's me and that crazy lady. Easy with the Camera, Mom. Stop acting like a first-time Mom.Back to school tomorrow with my friends. See ya!

Uh Oh Spahetti O

This has been a glorious weekend so far... I had spaghetti's O's for dinner on Friday night and they were absolutely delicious. They were so good that I decided to use them as a "pretend" shampoo. Today, it was Boyz day at the Shercks while Mom did girlie stuff. We went shopping, bought a new dishwasher, you can see below that I was helping him install it. Our old one just wasn't working well at all and kinda pooped out on us.

After he was done, it was my job to do the inspection, so I looked inside...

I couldn't really see good enough so I got a better look...

Have I told you that I I know how to say a word? Yup. Whenever I see my Mommy, I say "mama mama mammmma!" I think it's official and from experience, whenever I say that to her and gaze into her eyes with my big blues, I get WHATEVA I WANT!

Happy Birfday Dad.

Okay, Dad...I didn't make you a delicious birthday cake, but I DID make you some pumpkin sugar cookies for your birthday, does that count? I know, I know..I've been a slacker blogger so thought I'd post a few pictures from tonight. It is Daddy's birthday and we have been celebratin' fools! We just finished pepperoni, basil & garlic flat bread pizzas. Yum! Um, thankfully Dad is feeling better today on his special day because yesterday he was in bed all day with the flu. Ick.

Family picture playing on the stairs because this is all I want to do lately is go up the stairs over and over again.
And, what else have I been up to? Well, if you don't close the door to the bathroom, I'll go in, open the lid to the toilet, play in the water and then when I'm done, I'll grab the toilet paper a pull it all out, then rip it up in tiny pieces and then I eat it. It's so darn fun.

Gotta run - peace out.

Twins and a yogurt mohawk

I'm one lucky dude. I had a chance last weekend to go to the Metrodome with Gpa & Dad for the Twins game. It was boys outing to celebrate Gpas birthday. We took the train...It was a little chilly outside so I had to wear this poofy hat with my fleece.WHen we got there, it was just magical. We had tickets in the FSN suite...pretty sweet if you ask me. I got to crawl around. Did I mention that I got an A++ for attitude and behavior?I had my own seat. I sat there and whistled for the Twins. Whoot Whoo! Sunday, went to see my home boys Crosby & Cooper while Daddy & Brandon went shooting at the range. Here's me and Cros - we like peas and carrots.Check out Coop's camo shirt - where are you Coop Dogg...can't see you! Their Mommy has a baby in her tummy. How the (@#%!)O(#% did that get there?

Not too much else new except that Mom let me eat yogurt with a spoon tonight. I have a yogurt mohawk! What is she thinking?!?!? Duh...

It's about pumpkin time 'round here so I pulled out a hand-me-down hat from Fuzz (that Cullen made) Little small but I'm sure making it work to be festive. It matches my camo coat perfectly.

This week is FLYIN' by! Hope to see you all soon. I'm gonna give a quick shout out to my ladies out there - Dougie, Cullen & Rye...Happy Diggity Birthday to you all!

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!
