Fun at Explora in Albuquerque

Today Stacey, Jack David, Mommy and I went to the great children's museum Explora in Albuquerque. There were so many fun things there! I found this steering wheel right away and after quite a few tries at crawling up the ramp I finally made it and was happy to be 'driving'!

Mommy, I'm gonna get you! This fun bridge is great to crawl on!

Jack David can push the stroller all by himself!

Here we are after our great picnic lunch at Explora...time to go explore some more!

I love to play with empty containers!

Jack David and I played very well together!

Here's the view outside Stacey and Jack's living room window!

Fun in Albuquerque

Jack David has this great tunnel which was a lot of fun to crawl through!

Here I am in that fun cowboy hat again!

Now it's Jack David's turn to wear the hat! We are having so much fun!

My First Airplane Ride

Today is my first airplane ride! The minute Mommy put me in the airplane seat, I felt like such a big boy! I was smiling as everyone else on the plane walked by!

We flew to New Mexico to visit Mommy's Cousin Stacey, her husband Jack and their son Jack David who is just a couple of months older than me. We had a great flight! Here I am with Uncle Jack, riding Jack David's horsey! They even had a hat to match! I was having fun already!

Here Jack David is watching me ride the horse too.

First Day of Swimming Lessons!

Today was my first day of swimming lessons at Swimtastic. Daddy was busy at work so we didn't get any pictures in the water. I loved the class though and thought it was pretty neat.

Fun Plex

Today we go to go to FunPlex for Daddy's company picnic. I got to go swimming which was great! I love the water!

Then Daddy let me ride the go carts with him. I love to drive, so I thought it was awesome!

Nine Months Old Now!

I'm nine months old now! Mom is finding it harder and harder to get me to sit still for my pictures!

I love to crawl everywhere now...I'm headed to the entertainment center...again!

Traveling...From the State Fair to the Kroll Picnic

I loved to look out the window at the Hotel...I could see a long way. Today we got up and drove from Des Moines to Grandma and Grandpa's house for the annual Kroll Family Picnic.

I got to ride the three wheeler again at Grandpa's all of the kids had a great time taking turns riding it down Grandma and Grandpa's curvy sidewalk.

Then I got to play toys with Grandpa. He always has some new things for me to play with when I come to visit and we have a lot of fun!

Family Vacation to the Iowa State Fair

Here are Daddy and I after our first night staying in a hotel. We went to Des Moines for the weekend to see our friends and to go to the Iowa State Fair!

My friend Jaren has the Cozy Coupe and I love to drive it since I have one like it at daycare!

I got to meet Clifford the Big Red Dog and shake his hand. I like Clifford!

Here I am sharing my first corn dog with Daddy! I love to eat and the corn dog was great!

My First Golf Tournament

Here are Daddy and I at my first Golf Tournament...the Cox Classic!

I got to ride in the front seat of the shuttle on our way to our car and I loved watching the driver drive!

Later that day my Auntie Audrey came by for a visit! I love visiting with her!

I'm going to get away! I like to play in the grass!

A Farewell Party!

Here are Daddy and I. Daddy is helping me walk!

Here Daddy and I are having a picture with some of our friends at a farewell party for my friends Mateen and Nikki and their parents Ziba and Polo.

I like riding on Daddy's shoulders!

Here we are with Ziba, Polo and Nikki! We will miss them!

August Play Day

Today was our playday with my friends Evelyn, Rachel, Justin and Haley. We all met at Justin's house and had a great time playing toys while Mommy and her friends visited. I loved playing with this wooden spoon!

Evelyn thought it was fun to play in the box!

Here's Justin getting ready for his lunch!
