This is my mommy. I love her very much, but she just may be the worst blogger in the world! So here is what has been going on with me for the past month:

I now sleep in a big boy bed!!

And I am working hard on my pitching!

Although for some reason the ball likes to go backwards.

Sunday morning in our house is "Pancake Sunday." When I am a good boy I might get chocolate in my pancakes!!

Sometimes I have to work for the chocolate.

I still love my Maggie!!

But her kisses are gross!!

Here Daddy let me help you...

Better yet it looks better on me!

This video was made last month the morning after Grandma Manda left. She never got to see it, so this is especially for you Grandma!!

Snow Day

It started snowing about 2pm on Saturday and was still going strong when we went to bed. We woke up to about 4 inches of snow. Mommy wouldn't let me run around and play in it, but I did get to go out and watch Daddy build me a snowman!

Our snowman was fat and squatty, but I was still proud of my Daddy!!

Me and Daddy


Me and Mommy

Daddy decided it would be a good idea to eat about 4lbs of pulled pork from the Natural Born Grillers. His arteries clogged up right before this picture.

Some Videos

Grandma requested a video to show off my walking. This one is for you Grandma Amanda!

My two favorite things at nighttime: Daddy's video game controller and Spongebob Squarepants.

The Banana Peel Thief

I worked really hard this morning to get a piece of pancake on my fork. I finally did after about 15 minutes of trying. But my success quickly faded.

Then, 10 seconds later (literally)...

Have you missed me?

Let me apologize for my slacker of a Mommy. She hasn't put up any pictures of me from this whole year. So noone has seen how big I have gotten. I started walking at the beginning of the new year, so I am into everything now!! And Mommy and Daddy are feeding me real food now, so I have discovered that there are things that taste a lot better than that stuff in the jar!! Plus, I am down to only one bottle a day, but if they try to take my binky away, I am ready to put up a fight!!

I had my first haircut!!

Daddy likes my hair to be neat and straight!! He hasn't yet figured out that you can't fight curly hair.

One of my new favorite snacks: Banana Nut Cheerios

I finally discovered chocolate! It was so good that I had to share it with my best friend!

Mommy thinks I have separation anxiety, but that isn't true.When I find something that fits perfectly into my little hands, I hang on to it for as long as I can. I had this banana peel for an hour before Mommy was able to get it away from me!

I was way too fast for her!!

I only get a bottle at nighttime now, so I make sure to savor every drop of it.

Well, that's a little update on what I've been doing this year. I will try to make Mommy do better, but I can't make any promises!

Bacon Explosion

Anyone who knows my Daddy is aware of his undying love for bacon. So when he found this recipe, he was like a kid in a candy store. The following is a step by step pictorial of "Bacon Explosion." This recipe consists of 2 pounds of bacon, 2 pounds of Italian sausage, BBQ sauce, BBQ rub, and a smoker. Warning: You may get a stomach ache just from seeing the pictures!

Step 1: A bacon basketweave covered in dry rub.

Step 2: Layer of Italian sausage

Step 3: Layer of cooked bacon covered in dry rub and sauce

Step 4: Roll up the sausage

Step 5: Wrap it in bacon

Step 6: Smoke for several hours.

And it is ready to be served!!

That is one happy man!!

Christmas and 1st Birthday

My first Christmas started out kinda rough. I woke up at 6am, but not because I was excited about Santa. I had 103 fever, an ear infection, 3 teeth trying to break through, and I threw up my breakfast. Even with all that I was still a trooper.

I needed a little help with opening presents at first.


Then, I got pretty good at it.

What's in there Grandma?

I have no idea what is in those boxes, but I do know that this red circle thingy is amazing!

Making Daddy proud

Just a few days after Christmas was my first birthday! We had a full house of people, a lot of food, and even more presents!! Grandma Amanda and Aunt Melissa helped Mommy make a football cake as well as a baseball cake and cupcakes.

I have been missing out! Who knew sugar would be so great?

Time for presents once again...

What does it say Daddy?

Now this is a present that I know what to do with!!

Other presents took me a little longer to figure out.

After the party, Uncle Grady and Aunt Melissa went to Chicago and let Delia stay with me. We had so much fun! I felt like I had a sister to do everything with. We took naps together...

We wore matching pajamas...

She helped me break into the box of crackers (our favorite snack). Too bad we got busted.

She even taught me how to ride my new horse. I was scared until I saw her do it.

I miss you Delia!! I will see you in a few weeks at your birthday party!!
