Weeks 36 & 37... It's vacation time!
December 22, 2008 - January 4, 2009

Mommy decided to take my 8-month old photos a couple days late. So we took these photos that are below. It was a lot of fun, and I was so happy to get to play with my rocket. I'll be big enough for it soon, and I'm pretty good at getting off of it already without getting hurt.

Daddy had three days off this week for vacation, and Mommy and Daddy didn't have any plans to go anywhere or have any visitors. It was so wonderful! It was nice to spend time just as our little family. Wednesday we ran around town to Hobby Lobby, Lowe's, and the post office.


Thursday, we went over to Mommy's cousin's house. Wes and Hailey Nichols were having all their family over for breakfast. There was so much yummy food! My cousin Evan fed me, and my grandma's first cousin Pam enjoyed watching. She loves playing with me, because she misses her grandbabies that live all the way in Florida.

I love bath time. I have so much fun playing in it, and Mommy lets me stay in there for a while so that I can have one good, big, last playtime before bedtime.

On Friday, Mommy and Daddy went to buy a new vacuum this week. I loved playing with the box!
The next week, on Monday, Nana came to spend the week with me. On Wednesday, she took me to Toys 'R Us, and I racked up! She bought me a fun walking toy, a black panther stuffed cat, and a xylophone. Nana wanted to go home right away to play with me with them, but we decided to do a little bit of shopping that Mommy never gets to do by herself; we went to the mall. Mommy had fun at least!

Wednesday night late, Papa B and Aunt Kathryn came in, and I got to see them early Thursday morning. We had so much fun with them!
In these two weeks, I started walking with Daddy's help, and I learned to wave good-bye. On Sunday, Daddy had a talk in Greeneville, and I got to see Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Kristin. After his talk, we went to Great-Nana's. She all the sudden screamed, "Ow! He bit me, and he has a tooth!" Mommy said, "I don't think he has a tooth," and then she felt and discovered the secret I'd been keeping. I got my first tooth finally! Surprise:)
