"nash radical"- sounds like a good name for a band. mommy's dream of me becoming a general contractor might be set on the back burner for a while, cause i sure loved playing my ukulele today!

mowing the lawn with gwampa

gwampa tended me last week and had some chores to do, so i helped out as best i could by riding along on the mower with him. the loud engine didn't even scare me!

all in a day's work

i go to work with mommy a lot now since daddy is in school all day. today i just couldn't hang on any longer and crashed midway through my bottle. you know i am tired if i don't even finish eating cause i love food! thanks to auntie em for letting me nap on her and interrupt her hard working.

an update on my skillz

daddy started law school this week, so i spent a lot of time with mommy and now i am super attached. i'm driving her crazy! luckily i came up with some new tricks to charm her-i can click my tongue and give her big wet kisses! not to mention that my crawling skills are unsurpassed (big word for an almost-nine-month-old, huh?). i also enjoy pulling up on anything i can, including lexi. and i LOVE to get into lexi's food bowl when mommy and daddy aren't looking. lucky for me, lexi is the nicest doggy ever and doesn't get mad at me.

these pics are from my second session with auntie nay nay as my babysitter last week.

i'm a poundcake

even though i'm no fat baby (i measure below average for weight and above for height), everyone feels they need to comment on my weight. "he's a tank!" "you're gonna be a linebacker!" "he's like a lead weight". so tonight daddy decided that my new nickname (i already have so many!) should be "poundcake" because i guess i am built like one-dense (and sooo sweet!).

first parade

we went to mommy's family reunion in baker city, or a few weeks ago. it was the annual miner's jubilee, so there were fun things happening, including my first parade!

spook preview

i'm going to be a shark for my first halloween! of course, i'll be much more fierce on that special day! mommy just couldn't wait to try this out. now... picture a little blood running from my lips and mommy missing an arm! it's going to be so spooky!

fun times with cousin emery

me and cousin emery eating at grandma's house. auntie alison watched me whilie mommy went to work and emery and i had so much fun (mommy thinks!).

like grandpa, like grandson

don't i look just like my grandpa martin? mommy didn't like this picture all that much until she got grandpa's picture out and saw how alike they are! she always says i look just like grandpa. it's cause we have big almond eyes, big smiles and big dimples. we are so cute.

me & the cousins

last night all the cousins got pictures taken! it was hard to get all five of us to pay attention and smile at the same time, but we got a few good pictures out of it. we are giving the one of all five of us to grandma for her birthday tomorrow! i hope she likes it....

happy 4th!

we went to stadium of fire tonight and i was the best baby ever. even mommy & daddy were surprised- i wasn't scared or anything! it must be because the fireworks were just like the ones on my baby einstein movie. the only time i got fussy was when grandpa bought everyone slushies and i didn't get one. i was mad, but mommy shared so everything worked out. this was the best fourth of july ever!

4th of july festivities

mommy, daddy & i spent most of the day at grandma's pool. grandpa took these cute pictures of me and emailed them right away so i could use them for my blog. i didn't do a whole lot of swimming because mommy is afraid i'll get burned like her, and i took a really really long nap. tonight we are going to stadium of fire and i'm going to see my first fireworks ever! i hope it's not too scary....oh, and happy birthday grandma martin!

i heart biter biscuits

grrrr.....these biter biscuits are tough to eat with only half of one tooth! but they are yummy in my tummy!

see cousin emery, i have stoner eyes sometimes too. don't worry about it. we are the cutest babies ever!

this is when i got really mad at mommy because i put my biter biscuit on my shoulder and couldn't get it back!
