Walking with Pop-Pop!

My Pop-Pop is determined to teach me how to walk before I crawl.  Mom and Nana Chop-Chop try to tell him that crawling comes first, but mom told him once I walk he can take me for ice-cream, so he is on a mission!

Here we go!

...almost done

I'm walking mom!



Cooking With Mommy!

Usually I help mommy make dinner by entertaining her in my excersaucer, but this night was a bit different.  I was TIRED! It was 6pm and mom did not want to put me to bed yet and I was not a happy camper sitting by myself! She found the perfect solution! I might secretly pretend to get upset from now on because this was a lot of fun!

Mommy's teaching me how to cut cherry tomatoes...serious concentration!

The view from here is much better!

Helping mom rinse the squash!



Jerry The Giraffe

I am five and a half months old here and getting so big! I am loving all of my Jerry's.  Daddy has officially named all of my Giraffe's Jerry...here is one of my favorites!

Awe...love my Jerry!

Takes me a minute to get him into my mouth!

Telling mommy how much I love him!



Le Tour de France!

This time last year the Vannette's were in France for the Tour and brought Mom and Dad back this awesome onesie! Little did they know I would be the one wearing it! I have been sporting it this month and thought it was time to share pictures of dad and I in our gear.

Thanks Vannettes!

Me and Daddy!

Mommy's shadow was much more interesting than the camera :)

Go Schleck's!

Haley Snuggles

I love both Shamus and Haley, but Haley is my snuggle buddy!

Hanging out watching the Astros game!

She is SO soft!!

YUM YUM YAMS!

Mommy said now that I have successfully been eating rice for a week, it is time to branch out.  Mom is making my baby food from scratch. I helped her make these yummy yams!

Headed to the freezer so I have food for weeks!

SO YUMMY!!
