My First Big Laugh

On the way home from the State Fair, Mommy cracked me up. She pretended to steal my pacifier over and over. I thought it was so funny! Mommy caught it all on video. Check it out!

Kansas State Fair

On September 13th, Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa took me to the Kansas State Fair.

First, Grandpa tried to win me a toy, but he didn't win.



Daddy likes to carry me around and show me off!



Grandma had to get a picture on this bench because it said Granny. Do you see her Disneyland 1/2 Marathon shirt? She had run in it the week before! My Grandma is awesome!



Grandpa paid for Grandma and Mommy to ride this giant slide!



There goes Mama!



Grandma was scared, but she did it!



Mom and Dad looked at new campers while Grandma watched me. I hope we get a new camper. I like the ones with bunkbeds for when I'm bigger.



I got to go on my first train ride at the fair. Mommy helped me wave my hand at everyone that we went past.



Mom's too cheap to pay for these shirts, so we just took a picture with them. I especially liked the second one. I'm crying because they wouldn't buy it for me. It says, "Not only am I perfect, but I'm Mexican too."




We were all really ready to go home, but Mom had to wait an hour for me to get a caricature. Daddy wasn't too happy, can you tell?



Mom always wins though. It turned out so cute!



On the way out of the fair, Mom went crazy over some pineapple ice cream. She kept saying it was just like a Dole Whip from Disney World.




Grandpa did end up winning me some toys. What a fun trip!

Labor Day Weekend

For Labor Day Weekend we went to Frederick, OK to celebrate my Abuelita's birthday. I didn't feel like sitting in my car seat, so Mommy didn't make me.



Just kidding! We were at a rest stop! When we got to my Abuelita's, I was just hanging out on the couch waiting for my cousins to get there.



Finally, my cousin Zacchaeus arrived! I'm not sure what he was wearing. I'm sure when he's big enough to decide for himself he'll like the Longhorns.



For Abuelita's birthday all her kids got her a digital camera. I got her a camera bag, but Mommy forgot to get a picture of it.



I also got to see my big cousin Zain while we were there. He wants to be a paleontologist. He was finidng dinsoaur bones inside of an egg. So cool!



One of my favorite people to see is my Nanny Tourney. Mom loves when she's around because whenever she holds me, she puts me right to sleep.



I was all tired out by the end of our trip, but I can't wait to see my Abuelita and Big Daddy again!

My First Camping Trip

The weekend before Labor Day, Mom and Dad took me to El Dorado Lake to go camping. It turned out to be pretty cold that weekend, so I spent a lot of time in the camper.



Luckily, Mom and Dad got smart and brought my bassinet so I could sleep better than I do in my pack n play. I'm getting too big for my bassinet, but I love it and don't want to sleep anywhere else.



I had a good time hanging out with my Grandpa a lot this weekend.



Mom even bought me a life jacket so I could go on Grandpa's pontoon boat. What fun!



I got to sit out by the campfire.




Mom was kind of glad it was cold so I could wear some of my cute long sleeve clothes people had gotten me. Gaynell got me this cool monkey outfit.



Mom thinks I'm so cute in this picture.



When I take my hat off, I have crazy hair. We decided that I get that from my Grandpa!



I love my Grandpa!



When we got home from the lake we went to my Uncle Ro's house for a barbecue.



Me and Mommy were all decked out in our Longhorn gear. Hook 'em Horns!

My First Real Smile!

On August 25th, Mommy was rocking me to sleep and singing Rock-a-bye-Baby to me and it made me smile. This time I wasn't smiling because I had gas. These were real smiles! When she stopped singing, I stopped smiling. When she sang again, I smiled some more. I love listening to my Mommy sing. Plus, smiling at her made me get to stay awake longer. She was too excited to make me go to sleep!

Zoo and Helping Mommy

The first weekend after Mommy and Daddy went back to school I had a pretty big weekend. At first Mommy, Daddy, and I were just going to work at Mom's school, but then Dad's friend Mike called. We call Mike, Wazowski, because his last name sounds like Wazowski like on Monster's Inc. Wazowski wanted us to go to the zoo with him and his wife, Kelly and their son, Ben.

Here I am on the way to zoo.



Ben liked pulling his own wagon. I can't wait till I'm big enough to pull my own wagon, but I think Mom isn't looking forward to that. Something about it being easier to just put me in the stoller and make me stay there.

My friend Ella, and her Mommy, Sky, met us at the zoo too.

I love my Daddy!

I'm as big as the Galapagos Penguin.

Ben's cousin is as big as the Emperor Penguin.

Ben is as big as the Yellow-eyed Penguin.

Ella was sleeping and didn't get out of her stroller to see how big she was.

Mom sure loved my bib today!



The bear was very relaxed today.



I love my Mommy!



Ben and his mom, Kelly.



Mommy always says that Ben has the prettiest eyes.



Me and Daddy hanging out by the gorillas.



After awhile I got hungry and we had to leave. Here I am on my way to Mommy's school. My mouth is always open because I like to coo all the time now.



Daddy and I were big helpers for Mommy. We hung stuff up, stapled folders, and ran copies. I hope I get to go to Mommy's school again soon.
