Say cheese

The problem with eating grated cheese is that the pieces keep escaping from my mouth.

Basket hat

Daddy and I have a lot of fun while Mommy's at work. For example, this basket usually holds fruit, but Daddy put it on my head! He cracks me up.

Good grip

I've been working on my grip, and I must say I'm pretty stong. Uncle Bob is a good sport for letting me practice on his lip. I think Emma did a nice job breaking him in for me.

Boaz

I said hello and goodbye to my cousin Boaz Everett Nickel last weekend. He was stillborn on May 9th. Everyone was very sad, but I did my best to make them smile.

Crawling

Earlier this week, I discovered something called crawling. It takes a lot of effort, but if you try hard, you get somewhere new. Cool!

Cookies

Mommy and Daddy seem busy, so I've started feeding myself.

Sun's Out, Guns Out

It's very warm in San Francisco this week, so I got to show off my "guns" and wear a tank top. Don't worry, Mommy made me wear a hat and stay in the shade most of the day.

Crabby but classy

I've loved sea creatures since I was little. Look how sophisticated I am now, while chewing on a crabby claw. Pinkies up!

Add more balls!

Daddy put these balls in my play yard, so now I have my own ball pit. It's awesome! I turned 8 months old yesterday, and celebrated by trying cantaloupe. Things just keep getting better...

Bag 1, Casey 0

So I tried to fight my way out of this paper bag, but it turned out to be way harder than it looks.

Baby's First Game

I finally got a chance to play in a treasure hunt game, like Daddy and Mommy are always talking about. This was my team, called When's Nap Time? We did pretty well, although I can't say I helped much in solving the clues...

Giraffe picnic

I feel very tall in my giraffe outfit. I always enjoy standing up, and my balance is getting better and better. Of course, it helps when Daddy holds my hand.

Thanks Easter Bunny!

Today was my first Easter. I really enjoyed chewing on a wide variety of new things, from eggs to the basket. I also practiced my sitting, which is harder than it looks!

Teeth

I'm getting some very sharp things in my mouth. At first they hurt me, but now I can wield their power to hurt others (like Mommy) instead!

Pimp my Ride

I'm just chillin' in my S. T. Roller. Yeah, this is how I ride, baby!
