Cutest Passport Photo Ever!

That's what mom said about the photos I had taken at Costco today for my passport. Grompy & Grammy are taking Daddy's whole family on a cruise...so I need a passport! I can't wait.

MY OH MY!

I went to my first Mariners game last night!

I really was awake, it's just the camera angle. I had all sorts of fun at the game. Mommy & Daddy had sausage dogs with cream cheese on them, they looked really yummy, but they wouldn't share, but that's OK, because I got a cool Mariner's backpack, just for being a kid, and they didn't. So it's all cool.

I had so much fun that I was sooo tired that I slept in my Baby Bjorn the whole walk back from Safeco to the ferry terminal. Daddy said to Mommy, "Now I can see why your lower back hurt so bad when you were pregnant."

Monkey Business

I'm still trying to figure out all this Monkey Business....I have all sorts of toys and clothes with Monkies on them. I keep asking, "What's the deal with all the monkies?" They keep telling me that I'll find out someday when I'm older, since it involves something about monkey poop. I say, "tell me now, I'm a master of pooping!"

It's time to play

I love playing with Mommy & Daddy...here are a few of my favorite things that we do:

Daddy & I were playing "Hide & Go Seek" with Mommy. Daddy would hide me and Mommy would have to try to find me. I was hiding in Mommy & Daddy's bed, between their pillows, it was a rather comfy spot, but mom found me pretty quickly.
Auntie Kendra gave me this really cool rainforest gym and my favorite thing on it is the red mirror. I can look at myself for quite awhile in it before I get bored.

One of my favorite things to do is fill my britches so mom has to change my diaper, then I get to lay and look at the zebra, I love just staring at it. Mom says she likes it too because it keeps me occupied while she changes me. I really like the animals her, Grandma and Daddy painted on the walls.

My First Photo Shoot

Mommy's friend Natalie came and took some pretty cool pictures of me, here are a few of my favorite. I didn't like being naked in front of the camera though, so I "relieved" myself on Mommy while she was holding me in a few of the photos (not shown). :)

Priest Lake Baby!

After visiting Grandpa & Grandma in Colfax we headed to Great Grandma Collins' Cabin on Priest Lake in Idaho. It was my first time, but Daddy told me he'd been here every summer of his life. That's pretty cool, if you ask me...I hope I can go each summer!

Here's our "End of the Dock Picture"... I learned that this is an annual tradition, as you can tell, I didn't take it too seriously...slept through the photo op. Oh, well.

Yes, I'm one cool little surfer dude. Dad's training me early!

Dad says this is another one of his favorite things about the cabin...the swing.

We were playing right before bed...I was pretending to be Super Baby!

I wore this outfit to send a message to the mosquitoes...don't bug me! It seemed to work, as I didn't get a single bug bite, but that stuff they call baby acne got me with a vengence while we were at the cabin.

Like my "Surfer Dude" rash gaurd...following in Daddy's footsteps!

I wasn't too sure about the cold water at first, but I got the hang of it...although mom had to clean my board shorts out after I was done...I guess the cold water just sends the poop right out! That'll teach her...next time she'll get me swimming diapers!

Great Grandpa was sick :(

When we went to meet Great Grandpa Harry he said he didn't feel good, so Grandma & Grandpa took him to the Emergency room...it turned out to be pretty serious. He even had to take an ambulance ride to the big hospital in Spokane. I'm sooo glad that he's doing a little better now.

Mommy says this is a special picture, because it shows 4 generations...pretty cool, huh?


Do I resemble my Great Grandpa at all????

Come Meet Baby Joseph

Auntie Kendra, with Grandma's help threw a "Come Meet Joseph" party in my honor...
My Great Grandma Elsie loved on me and said sweet, sweet things to me...I really love her.

Here, Auntie Kendra is showing me off to her Father-in-law...he said he wouldn't mind if Auntie Kendra and Uncle Eric gave me a cousin. I think that would be fun, then I'd have cousins on both sides of the family!

Here I am meeting my Great Grandmother Joyce. She finally admitted, that yes, I really did look like my Grandpa.

Over the Mountains and Thru the Fields...

To Grandmother's House We Go!
I slept most of the way there! Mom and Dad were really happy about that.

Here I am on my first ferry ride...can you tell i was excited???
