I'm 8 months old!


Well, 8 months have flown by. I'm getting big. Real big. It looks like I just might grow into my name someday. For now, I've got a lot of alternatives: Gus, Big T, Gamma Goo, Punks, lil' brother, T. Augustus, Mr. T (or B.A. Barackus) - take your pick. I can't be bothered with all of these names right now though, I've got serious business. I'm about 75% on sitting up these days. My head is the real problem. The second I get steady, the darn thing moves and shifts my center of gravity. My noggin does come in handy though for locomotion. I figured out that if I lay on my stomach and tilt my head far enough to the side, I can get a real good roll going (sometimes 2 in a row). It's so reliable, that I pretty much use this as my main mode of transportation these days. I'm still working on a little number called the rock and creep, but it's not as solid.

You should probably also know that I'm babbling a ton, working on waving goodbye (imitating mom's wild arm motions so that she can say that I'm "advanced"), sleeping in my crib, hating naps, eating solids, taking a music class (my dad bought me a small guitar for Christmas, but right now I just like sucking on the maracas - it's a percussion instrument), holding my own bottle and loving penguins.

But, you are probably just here for the pictures...

Hey there



Peas Please


Watching the game with the guys


State Wins!


I finally like my tummy!


Day at the zoo - I loved the penguins.


Good thing I wasn't driving...


I like to wake up much earlier than Dad does.


Life is good.

The Best Christmas Present Ever....

No, not the boxes or the wrapping paper.

Family!

B-Bar-C Farm

Uncle Bruce and Aunt Cathy's Farm is rad.

Even though, I'm not much of a horse fan



I put on my best duds



Bob rode the tractor



Dad rode the dirt bike




And... I got my feet pressed in clay. Mom scares me in this shot.
I'm crying and she doesn't seem to mind...

Catch Up

Okay, let's catch up. I've been a busy man this fall. Pictures in the pumpkin patch - check.



Then there is the trip to the land of milk and cheese....
Osceola, Wisconsin - here I come!

You have to have a mighty fast shutter speed to catch me without drool these days.



Go Brewers! I mean, go Twins! Come on...we're still Tigers fans.



Thanks Grandma Mary and Grandpa Jim! I had so much fun looking for eagles, eating rice cereal and hiking...but most of all, I loved our mornings on the blue blanket. Love and miss you!
