This is me at 3 months.

And here I am with my Granny Upton and my Great Granny Palmer. Granny Upton is my Daddy's mommy and Great Granny Palmer is my Daddy's Daddy's mommy. I'm wearing my baptism gown and I'm almost 6 months old in this picture. (right)

This is the first time I stood up all my myself.

At 7 1/2 months old I was crawling and pulling myself up to standing by grabbing anything I could. I could kneel all by myself and sometimes I would sit, also. I don't like sitting. I'm always on the move. I climb up the stairs, so I keep Mom and Dad on their toes because I'm really quick.

I eat everything. I really like Cheerios. So does Tom (He's one of my dogs). When we go to the IHOP, Granny Fran gives me pancake pieces.

I'm 9 1/2 months old and really looking forward to my first Christmas, even though I don't have a clue what's really going on. Mommy and Daddy brought a tree into the house and put lights and and little toys all over it. I like eating the lights. I'm still not walking. I don't see what the big deal is. I could walk if I wanted to, but crawling is faster and I can stand up if I have to reach something up high. Besides, it hurts more when I fall if I'm trying to walk than....oh, nevermind, I never fall down when I crawl. I've been experimenting with different faces and sounds. I've been copying the sounds Mommy and Daddy make. I think this is good because they laugh at me when I do it.

It's the New Year, I'm 10 months old and I'm getting into EVERYTHING! I walk 3 or 4 steps now and I just started swimming at the town pool. I hate it because the water is TOO COLD. I touched some cold, white stuff last week. I don't know what it was, but Daddy wouldn't let me hold it for very long. I got TONS of new toys last week. I have toys in every room of the house now.
