Reunion!!

Here I am with Mommy, Nana Peggy and Grampa Kent arriving for the Baurley family reunion!


One of my new words is "eye." I like to show people what I mean when I say the word.



Eating a lemon.

Here I am with my cousin Bailey... we finally got to meet after all this time!!! I tried to show off by climbing onto a chair, but then Bailey showed me up with her lightning-speed crawling.

Bailey wasn't feeling well and Mommy had a grand plan to wipe my hands with antibacterial wipes throughout the entire encounter...

But alas, foiled! This may have been the exact moment where I pulled a pretzel chip out of Bailey's mouth, put it into my own, and subsequently got the whole family sick (except for me and Mommy's awesome breastmilk antibodies!).

Here is Bailey's cute little pretzel trail, with one teeny bite taken out of each one.

After hanging out with Bailey, me and Mommy very briefly got in the pool, but she was cold and I was hungry.

First guest to arrive at the reunion... Bill Baurley and his awesome scooter. I coveted the beeping horn button.

Getting some hydration with, of course, a "ball" bottle.

Wearing Nana's "balls."

Nana is quick, diverting a swipe of my glasses-stealing hand into a kiss!

Hanging out with another ball... likely eating a leaf.

On the run with the walker I stole from Bailey.

It's hard to be stealthy, though, when your name is written on your back (thanks Uncle George!).

Going faster than the walker.

Eating ice.

Digging for more ice... and almost fell in!

Having a snack with ma-ma.

Check out my big-boy crocs... I didn't want to let these go. Thanks for letting me borrow them Sammy!

Posing for the camera.

Mommy thinks I look just like Daddy in this picture.

Checking out the tarmack.

Tippy-toes is my new thing.

Headed home!! Miss you Baurleys!! And especially you, Bailey!!

Fun Jack Pics and VIDEO!

It's been a few weeks since Mommy put up a blog... and I'm getting bigger! My new favorite food are grapes (cut in half, not whole, mind you). And my new favorite fashion accessory? Sunglasses. Pretty cute, huh? Thanks to my friend Will for these awesome glasses.

Of course, you already know that my other favorite accessory is the phone... here I'm taking turns on the land-line in one hand and the family cell phone in the other. (that's right, the "family cell phone"... pretty lame Mom and Dad!!)

Going shopping for rocks, leaves, dirt and worms.

Silly poses with Daddy.

Jack the Ham.

And VIDEO!!!!

Just Like My Daddy

Mommy thinks that I am just like my Daddy. Here's why...

We both like to read. Here I am reading Sweet Dreams Mimi to Daddy after he got home from a long night of work. We both like to wear red.

We both like balls. Daddy likes basketballs and footballs. I like food in the shape of balls... and I insist on eating them when I see them! I can't even go in and out of the house without picking a "ball, ball, ball, ball, ball, ball, ball" off of Nana's tomato plant.

I like to eat them whole.

Anticipating back blows from Mommy if I make any wrong moves.

Look closely and you will see the tomato pulp on my face and on Daddy's sleeve.

Daddy and I also like to eat bananas whole. Ok, so Daddy has only done that once...

But it is true that I prefer the peel.

Here I am at the park, and like Daddy, I look pretty cute.

Still cute.

And back to the balls... this time tasting sweet gum balls off of the ground.

I love you Daddy! Have a great night at work!!
