11 Months

Well Timmy is getting very very close to being a one year old! His age is pretty much the only thing that lets me keep calling him a baby instead of a toddler! He has not crawled in three days, it's all walking now! Recently Timmy has been turning his play table into a ladder/ jungle gym (first picture), so Tim decided that he needed a new toy he could really climb on. The first thing he did was succesfully climb UP the slide, and he was in heaven for the next half hour until I had to tear him away to go to bed. We do have some work to do to get him succesfully sliding down, but the diaper was not helping. Hopefully he continues to enjoy the new centerpiece of our living room for a while!

Mother's Day

Well, I'm writing this post about a week late... but it just suddenly dawned on me that I should have shared! I had a WONDERFUL First Mother's Day! We had our families over for a delicious Brunch that Tim prepared for everyone. We had Belgian Waffles, quiche, pastries, fruit, and Jenny's yummy sausage balls, and the whole meal was finished off with chocolate crepes. There were lots of flowers for all of us Mom's too. Timmy set the bar really high for Mother's Day by giving me Tiffany's earrings. ;) Later in the day we went to Tim's basketball game and then out to visit his Grandma for a while. It was just a really nice day all around, but the best part was being a Mom for the first time. It was just another reminder of how amazing he is and how much he has changed my life for the better! Happy Mother's Day to me!

Watch out Gilbert!

I installed the new basketball court in the living room this evening. Timmy and I played some hoops and he caught on pretty quick! Here is one of his many highlights....

10 Months Old and Walking

I can not believe it, but last night Timmy's step taking pretty much turned into walking... He was all over the place! This clip is not even his longest walk of the night. Now obviously he's still pretty unstable, but Tim is betting that by the end of the month Timmy will be doing all of his getting around on two feet. He's a big boy!

Happy Easter

Well I'm a little late getting these pictures up, but they are too cute to just skip, so here they are! Happy Easter!

Some New Tricks

Timmy has been very busy since he's mastered standing up. He has all kinds of things to check on and busies himself crawling from one piece of furniture to another. He is starting to hold onto the furniture and walk around it a little instead of sitting and crawling to each piece. Timmy is also becoming an expert at going up the stairs. We knew that one would come early because my mom's family room is two steps down from the rest of the house. I guess now we just need to teach him to get back down the stairs! Here are a few pictures of Timmy enjoying a bunch of new things.

"Oh yeah, I'm a Big Shot!"

He looooves eating popsicles!

"Hmmm what can I get into from here?"

9 Months Old!?!

Okay, I am having a hard time with Timmy's "birthday" this month, this one is a real milestone to me! I can't believe he's been out for as long as he was in! He has changed and grown sooo much in these short nine months, sometimes I feel like it's funny that I feel proud of him for learning to sit up, or now stand up, unassisted, just because that's what he feels like doing. But, remembering back to how completely helpless (though vocal) he was when he was first born, it's unreal! Anyways, here are some pictures and videos of Timmy on his 9 month birthday!!! You can see that he is a very busy little boy!
