Money doesn't grow on trees....

It grows in mommy's purse.  Myron had fun exploring the inside of my purse.  He preferred the cash over credit... hummm maybe a future banker.

Weekend with Mommy

Daddy went to a wind farm last week and I stayed home with mommy. I was really cranky the night daddy left, mommy thought I missed him.  But then the next morning I had tooth number two, right here.

Mommy and I had lots of fun together, we sang Old McDonald and...

I helped mom clean everything. I wiped off my chair, mommy, the floor, mommy's face, my toys, and sometimes even my own face.

I also started doing 'high five' and will now give things to mommy when she asks for them (but only if I don't really want them).

And then Daddy came home!  Funny Daddy.

Spoons are overrated

Myron has decided that spoons are overrated he much prefers to use his hands.  Myron's 'finger foods' now include cereal (see below), split pea soup, cottage cheese, spaghetti, peas, raspberries (a favorite), and really just about anything.

Locomotion

I really have this locomotion thing mastered.  I can get from the couch to the coffee table to the floor to mommy faster than she can turn on the camera.

A roaring astronaut...

In the bath last night Myron was a roaring....

Astronaut.  "Houston, can you hear me?"

Cloth Diaper Bottom

Okay, so finding pants to fit over his cloth diaper bottom has been a challenge.  We resigned to buying him 3T shorts, which fit him like pants.  We found a solution!  Baby legs are little leggings for babies.  They stay on and look really cute (and they don't nee to go over his cloth diaper and don't need to come off for a diaper change).  Why did it take us 9 months to try them?

Funny Face

Okay, so the video before did not have his funny face.  Here it is in all it's glory, drool and all.

Big Boy!

I am a big boy now.  My 9 month appointment proves it.  I am in the 89th percentile for height and head size and the 90th percentile for weight, I'm a big boy all around. And to top it off, I went poop in the potty for the first time. No mommy and daddy are not trying to potty train me yet but mommy had good timing with the potty chair, and I did the rest.

Whah...whah...whah...snort...

Myron's immitation skills took a huge leap this week. He can now wave bye-bye, clap, and put his hand to his mouth for Whah...whah... whah... we are so tickled. Nana Dot also taught him a new face, where he breaths in and out of his nose with srunched face... so funny. Most of his new skills are in this video.

New Duds & Ant Butt

Daddy got an outfit for his birthday, but it didn't fit him.  So he gave it to me. Thanks G, G and Daddy.

I got new duds from Auntie Kim too.  But at night when Mommy and Daddy put two diapers on me... it looks like I have an ant butt or as Mommy calls it an ant abdomen.

Nana Dot Came to CA!

This weekend Nana Dot came to CA!  We had so much fun.  We went to the park and I found a leaf.

Then we went for coffee and cuddled.

We played in the play room.

And I got to play in the dishwasher a lot, my favorite!

I'm wearing the 'little monster' shirt Nana Dot gave me... thanks Nana Dot!  For the great visit and the shirt.

History

Last week I witnessed history!  Now I can say, I was alive when Obama became president.

Happy Birthday Daddy

Monday was Daddy's birthday and we celebrated with presents and cake!  I got some cake too! 

I helped Dad open his presents, he got a magazine...

and a flying helicopter.

I got him a pumpkin cheesecake, it was yummeeee!

Weekend with Daddy

Mommy went to Michigan this weekend and I stayed home with Daddy.  I blew bubbles, played with glasses...

blew raspberries in bed...

drank some milk...

dressed in drag and did some reading.  Daddy put the sparkly headband on my head and I kept it on for over 30 minutes.
