Baby needs a new pair of shoes!

Look who's wearing shoes like a big boy?  Yep, it's me!

I promptly kick them off the minute I'm unattended, but a free spirit like me was never meant to wear shoes.  That's for people whose feet touch the ground, and mine never do. 

I've had an exciting and unconventional couple of weeks, with my mom having some surgery.   I've been doted on by TWO grandmas, and even Dad and I had a whole week together!  I spent a few days on the farm at Grandma Barnes's house, and my Grammy Huffman came from Texas to see me.  I charmed the pants off of them, and did my best to show them all my best tricks.   I can sit up like a big boy, and I can even stand if someone promises to catch me:



I can also pick up snacks with my fingers.  This is a skill I've mastered in the last week or so.  Before, I had to rely on my fingers being sticky enough to attract these little puffy snacks, but not anymore.  I like to reach and grab, and throw anything on the floor that is within my ample reach.
 
I'm also really looking forward to Christmas, and this mysterious "Santa Claus" that is supposed to come see me.   I've got a few things I'd like see under the tree, so hopefully Mom can get me in front of the bearded man himself so I can place my order.  I hear he's making an appearance at the ward party next week, so hopefully that's my chance!

Some of my new likes:
1. Being upside down
2. Phantom of the Opera
3. NOT sleeping through the night anymore
4. My puppy
5.Turning around in my crib, so I'm out of camera view
6. Playing in my room for looonnnng stretches.   Attended, of course.

And Mom's personal favorite: 

Only doing a #2 if she's just changed me.  Just keeping her on her toes!

  1. That smiling picture is SO adorable!! Tyler always goes #2 right after he's been changed and he's 2 and a half! It makes me crazy.

  2. He really does look like a big boy. Can you believe he's only months away from being 1 yr? He looks so cute in his winter clothes and I love all the photos. I can't wait to see him with Santa.
