1st Bubble Bath

Well, I have taken many baths in my personal hot tub. In fact, I take one almost every night before dinner, books and bed but I finally got to have my 1st bubble bath! Not so sure what took my parents so long but I'm happy I finally got to play with these bubbles!

All clean! Now I get to put my big boy PJs on and read with daddy! 

Getting to be a big boy is hard work

So I've been standing for some time now. I stand holding onto mom and dad's hands. I stand and hold onto furniture and I just know that I'll be walking sooner than later. But everyone tells me I need to crawl. I don't really agree but I've gone from swaying back and forth on my hands and knees to doing a high plank position (as my mom calls it) on my hands and toes. But today, I finally did it! I crawled! I crawled about 5 feet to my best friend, my Binkie. Now they've done it. When I get good at it I'll be crawling so fast away from mom and dad they won't be able to catch me. The kitties won't even be able to catch me!

Another big deal lately is that I am trying whole foods. Not pureed foods like babies eat but whole peas and carrots. Well, the carrots are cut up but still. I didn't really get any peas in my mouth the first time but boy, did I sure focus on picking one up. 

9 months!

I am 9 months old today and boy there has been some exciting stuff going on around here lately. First, my Uncle Howie flew in for father's day to see me of course, along with Grammi and Grandpa Price. It was fun having him stay with us for a few nights, he is so much fun. He played with me and read to me!  We even went to the park one day. 

On father's day we had a barbeque at my house and Grandpa Brooking came up to visit. I just love having visitors!

On my 9 month birthday, and the first day of summer, AND the first day daddy is off for summer to play with me for 2 months, the sun came out.... so what did we do? We went to the beach! Mommy used to go to this beach, Picnic Point Beach, when she was a baby too so she was very excited to take me there. We had soooo much fun!

Look at me! I'm clapping for myself because I put my feet in the salt water for the first time! Daddy and I were jumping over the waves coming in. 

I was trying to surf here but apparently I need a board for that. One day, one day....

Thanks for a fun day at the beach! Can we go again tomorrow? 

Happy Father's Day!

We got to spend father's day a whole week early. It is my daddy's first father's day, my first too so we decided to do something really special. We got to stay at a wonderful house for the weekend on Whidbey island. It was so fun. I got to ride on a ferry for the first time and most importantly, I got to spend some quality fun time with my daddy, he is the best!!! 

Here he is! Here is my best daddy!

Wow! This is awesome! This ferry is the biggest boat ever!

It was a little chilly outside so we decided to look at the water out the window instead

We made it to our destination. Mom and I were hanging out after my nap on the deck. Soo relaxing....

We went to a pizza lunch on Saturday. I'm not quite old enough for pizza so I played with this spoon instead. Not as exciting but oh well, at least I had a nice view.

I love Whidbey!

Look mom! I can hold onto this umbrella with only 1 hand!

"I pledge allegiance to this moon".....oh wait, is it a flag I'm suppose to do this to? 

Daddy, I got this, don't worry about it.....

GREAT weekend. Thanks daddy and mommy for letting me be naked again this weekend! 

I'm a man!

A boy turns into a man when he buys his first suit. Well, I didn't buy it, Grandma did, but I did officially become a man yesterday. Grandma and Auntie Karis took me to a very cool spot in the mall where I got to watch Grandma do funny things to make me laugh. I had such a great time and I know that not only was I the best looking baby there but I was the most well behaved and well dressed. Every other baby was crying but not me! Well, there was one exception. I didn't like them putting me on my stomach. I tried to tell them beforehand but they didn't listen to me. Oh well, at least I gave mom and dad a shot that they think is pretty cute. One time crying, not that bad.

I turned this photo in, along with my resume, to Century 21. I think I look like a natural relator in this one. "I have a beautiful 1300 square foot rambler with 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bath...."

I've also been working out so Chippendales, here I come! First pick would be the Thunder Down Under in Vegas but I'm not Australian....

That's right, clap for these guns!

I know, I know, I'm too cool for school 

You just never know what I'm hiding in these cheeks...

What is going on with my foot here? Looks like I have a problem

See, I don't HAVE to cry when I'm on my stomach

Hah!!! I gotcha, did I scare you? 

This is my shy and sensitive look. I can use this to pick up chicks

Or this one....

Grandma's favorite. Thanks for such a fun day at the Picture Park. I want to go back soon but next time maybe we could do an NFL shoot for the draft. Until then I'll keep working out and being cute.

Note from mom-Best Baby EVER!

Okay, I'm officially in love with Price and his age right now. 8 1/2 months old and just way too much fun! He's happy ALL the time! Seriously, the only time he cries is when it's really tired or does this little fake out cry just to tell us he isn't too happy about something like putting pants on or ending a meal. Kadin and I say it all the time, we are so very lucky. Not sure how we got so lucky but boy, if I knew every baby would be like him, I'd have 50 if I could, I'm just so in love! He sleeps well, wakes up in such a great mood every morning, eats like a champ (even his vegetables) and is developing quite a silly personality. He started to clap last week so he shows us he can do that any chance he can get. He LOVES standing up. Not a fan of being on his stomach so much. He may end up crawling but I don't see it happening. I think he's just going to start walking and then a second later, run, probably run a marathon. 

Since the weather has been slowly improving, temps rising a bit and sun coming out it's been so fun taking him outside on little adventures. I can absolutely not wait until Kadin is out for the summer later this month. Then we'll be able to venture out on family trips and daily adventures all the time! Here are 2 recent pics that are absolutely my favorites! It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon so we decided to bring out the kiddie pool for the first time. He was in LOVE! He splashed around a lot but then once he realized he could grab onto the side and stand up, there wasn't much more of sitting and splashing:) 

The ZOO!

We went to the zoo today! Mom and dad have been talking a lot about how excited they are to take me to the zoo. I think they wanted to wait until I was old enough to actually tell the difference between these crazy animals and our cats. Boy, there are some real cool animals, especially this elephant. I couldn't stop staring at her.

See look! I'm still looking even when I'm suppose to look at the camera for a picture.

Let's back up a bit. This is dad and I getting ready to leave. I was sooo excited! 

And we made it. Just getting out of the car to get our tickets.

We went in this really neat bird house where all these different birds were flying around.  A couple tried to land on my head. I thought I might even get pooped on. 

Well, this was fun. I got to sit on a baby elephant! 

Another interesting creature was the orangutan. They are sure big but fun to watch!

I sure liked to study all the animals. Forget football, I might just want to be a vet or a zoo keeper.

Now, don't worry. I'm not naked at the zoo. But I do love being naked. This is when we got back home and it was so warm out today that we decided to get naked, well-I did. Just call me a little nudist.

Grass feels funny

Love my daddy!

I was trying to impersonate the gorilla I saw earlier.

Gorillas also sit up like us babies and adults do, crazy!

ahhh momma. Thank you and daddy for giving me such a fun day today, let's do it again soon!
