I Start Running into Obstacles

Good morning to you!
Awake from my long nighttime nap and ready to play and play!!

What's this????
How did I end up in Baby Jail!!!!!!!!!!
I was framed, I swear!


Besides, I'm too cute for Baby Jail.
If I wanted to, I could just bend these bars
and make it to the other side,
but I've got a lot more to explore....

Did someone call for a fireplace inspector?

I'll just take a quick peek inside.
I'm sure Mom doesn't really mean
that I'm not supposed to be in there....

Foiled again!!
I'm sure Mom and Dad think they've got a
good start on setting up obstacles and "Riley-Proofing"
but I'm sure I'll find some loopholes soon....

Dad and His Shadow

I sure do love the weekends!
Weekends mean lots of time with Dad.
Yep, we hang.

Little Drummer Boy

Cute Me

Did you know that I turned 7 months old this week?!
I'm getting to be a very big boy and cuter than ever!

Speedy Gonzales

Athletic Me

Everyone knows that I love jogging in the park,
shooting hoops and golfing with Dad.
Just trying to get my clubs together so I'll be ready
next time we go to the driving range....

But did you also know that I love tennis?

I went to play with Dad over the weekend and I was the line judge...
And that ball looks OUT!!!

Don't worry, Dad!!
I'll get it......

Yikes!!
Look at my tennis toes!!!
My cute little baby toes got all scraped up.
I think it's time for some tennis SHOES!

I Party UPS Style

On Friday I got a big surprise when Dad came home

early from work and loaded me in my carseat.
He said we were going to help UPS celebrate it's 100th birthday!!
I'm very glad I was dressed appropriately for the occasion!

We got our picture taken in front of an old package car.
I was too busy checking it out to smile.

We also got our picture taken in front of the race car!
Dad said I'd have to wait until next year to drive it though.

They had all sorts of good food there!
I was getting ready to dig into my first
bag of potato chips and grab a burger...

Just kidding.
I had to have a bottle.
I know next year I'll get my own hamburger though.


Dad got me my very own UPS bear!!
His feets tasted very good!


I also got my very first balloon animal!!!


But Dad put my balloon turtle on my ankle after I tried to eat it.
But it still fascinated me even though my mouth
couldn't reach it.



I danced and danced at the party too!!!
(I know, Mom got the angle wrong, but you can still see how much fun I was having dancing in the stroller!!)


See that big UPS truck?
I was sure I was going to drive that truck before we left.


See?
I told you I was going to drive that big truck!
Now, where's Dad??
He needs to move the pedals or the seat or something....


What d'ya mean I have to wait until next year, Mom?
Oh well....
I enjoyed partying UPS style even though I didn't get to drive anything.

I Make the Critter Share Her Toys

I decided that I would help Critter play with her toys.

I don't think she wanted to share at all,
but I did!

It was part of my cunning plan to draw her
in so I could grab her fuzzy ears!

So close!!!!
She'd had enough sharing and turned away
so I yelled and yelled at her.
I'm sure I'll get her fuzzy ears next time!

Home Home on the Range

Dad took me out to the driving range this
weekend to help him hit some holes in one!
Hey, MOM!
Get me outta this thing so I can play too!

Mom forgot my clubs, so instead of hitting those balls with Dad,
I hung out with Mom in the grass!

I tried to keep it on the blanket though.
I'm not too sure about how this grass stuff feels on my feets.

I sure hope Mom remembers my clubs next time.
But I was very glad I got to study Dad's swing first hand
and cheer him on from the sidelines!

Standing Room Only

I've decided to name this series:
"How to Keep Mom Very Busy All Day Long".
Here's Step 1:
I find something taller than me to grab on to.

Step 2:
I get a good grip with both hands.

Step 3:
PULL!!!!

Step 4:
Get steady....

Step 5:
Success!
Sometimes I do this part one handed.
Yep, you should see Mom when
I try this on the coffee table!
I never knew she could run that fast!!

A Day in the Studio

I had an appointment for some studio portraits last week.
I posed and posed all day!

Mom has one like this of us
when I was just six weeks old!

Peek a boo!
I see you!!!!

I was thinking about going for a bike ride later,
but then I decided to wait until I got my own big wheel.

Cousin James came along for a picture too!
We had matching outfits...

Here we are sitting by the dock of the bay...
just wasting time....

Happy 4th of July!!!

Yep, I'm a pretty photogenic fellow!!

Happy Birthday to Grandad

Did you know that my Grandad had a birthday on Sunday?
I've been hanging out with Grandad since the day I was born.

Today I got to hang out with Grandad and
drive the fast cars!
Where's the horn on this thing???

Grandad and I were just talking about
rebuilding the engine block...

I sure do love garage time.

Look!!! He left the keys in this one!!!!

Memaw, are you in or out?
I can't idle all day!

Just kidding!
Grandad said I'd have to wait
until next year to drive this car!

Happy Birthday to you Grandad!
Love you!
