Nana and Geepadder...OH BOY!

So if you didn't already know, I was born to 2 crazy football fans! Pretty much Thursday through Sunday, there is this game called football that my mommy and daddy watch....all. day. long. So I heard Mommy and Daddy say that they were going to Auburn for a weekend to watch the Tigers play Arkansas! I tried to ask them, "What am I going to do?" Then I heard them say that Nana and Geepadder were coming to spend a whole weekend with me! YIIIIIPPPPPPEEEEEE!

Sure enough, on Thursday night Nana and Geepadder showed up....and my Aunt Dana! We went out to dinner and got to hang out. On Friday, Daddy showed up with this giant house on wheels (an RV). I got to run around in it and it was fun! But then Mommy and Daddy got in the house on wheels and can you believe it? They drove away????!!!!! I wanted them to think I was sad, but guess what? I was ready for them to leave, so I could hang out with my Nana and Geepadder!

My Nana loves to play with me and she lets me do things that Mommy doesn't! Good thing that Geepadder likes to go on walks....because SO DO I! I took Geepadder on LOTS of walks in my tricycle and wagon. We met all the neighbors and I got to see all the doggies in the neighborhood. I was such a good boy and I slept all night, every night! Turns out that it was the start to my new sleeping habits. Sleeping through the night is actually fun...who knew? :)

Thanks for coming Nana and Geepadder! I can't wait to see you at Christmas and I'm so glad that you finally have a web cam so I can see you on skype!


Nana and I hanging out!


I'm so cool! I love to wear my sunglasses!


C'mon Geepadder, let's go on our 15th walk for the day! It's only 11 am!

Let me show you how it's done Geepadder..."TOUCHDOWN!"

Geepadder likes to watch football too??? There's no escaping this football madness! I guess I'll have to give in! WAR EAGLE Geepadder!

It's official....I CAN WALK!

It has taken me a while to update my blog, but that's because I've been so busy WALKING around everywhere! Yes, you hear me right....I CAN WALK! YAY! I took some steps around my birthday, but I officially started walking September 17th! Mommy and Daddy took me down to the tennis courts to socialize and I just stood up and started walking! It was fun because I could chase after balls!



I have been doing a lot of fun stuff since I last wrote! I have been going to Kindermusik class every Friday morning with Mommy and that is so much fun! We sing lots of fun songs and the best part is that Mommy has a CD of all the songs. My favorite is "Clickity Clack!" I always ask Mommy and Daddy to play it by raising my arms up and down (like we do in music class!). I'm getting the feeling that Mommy and Daddy don't like that song as much as I do. Daddy says the guy that sings it sounds like the man at the beginning of the Monster Mash song...whatever that is!

I am doing so many other things....besides walking. I can say dada, mama, nana, uh-oh, haha (for woof woof), and my favorite thing to say is..."A BALL!" I can find a ball anywhere! I can shake my head "No" and "Yes." I have also been sitting and going pee pee on the potty! I love to get out my potty seat, set it on the potty, and try to climb up there. I don't always go in the potty, but I have done it about 8 times. I also just learned how to kick a soccer ball!

I have had a couple of dinner dates with my friend Alison. She is also in my music class! The only thing about Ali is that she calls me a "baby!" I see no baby here! :) Love ya Ali!

I really enjoy going outside and whether it's raining or sunny...I want to be out there! I tell Mommy and Daddy if I want to ride in my wagon or on my tricycle. I like to walk up the street and look at the doggies along the way. I know where they all live and I bark at them when I get to their houses!

I am still using my sign language to tell Mommy and Daddy what's up! I can sign drink, cookie, cracker, cereal, pizza, bubbles, popcorn, and all done. I know how to touch my head and my belly and I like to point to things in books. My favorite book ever is "Oh the Thinks You Can Think" by Dr. Seuss! I never get tired of hearing that book and I know when we get to the last page. I put my hands out to say, "The End."

Here are some pictures of me! ENJOY!


Outside with my Gameday gear on!!!

My favorite thing to do is go in....and out...in and out!

I love to put on Daddy's hats! They are way more fun than my own hat!


I had a rough day at the office on this particular day! Thank goodness it was Thursday!

It is so much fun to play with the cups in the cabinets! Don't worry, I always clean up my mess!
