10 months old.... and walking!

On my 9-month birthday I decided I wanted to walk.

I tried and tried and tried. After awhile I started to

figure it out.

Today I am 10 months old and I can walk...not around

the block or anything, but I can do it pretty well.

I also love to knock things over!

Snake!

A funny thing happened today....

Dad went to water the flowers and when he reached for the

hose, it moved! Because it was a snake!

It was sitting in the front yard and was probably close to 5 feet long!

Living in the woods has its dangers.

Instead of killing it, Dad chose to take lots of photos.

Mom was totally freaked out (not the most flattering picture, ha!).

I kept her calm.

Cruisin'

Lately I have been working on walking.

It is not easy. I have earned a few scratches,

bumps and bruises.

I've been cruising around furniture, pushing

my toys, and even taking lots of steps across the

room. Mom and Dad say that I am officially walking,

but I think it will take me a couple more weeks

to really get the hang of it!

Bueller, Bueller?

Do I look like Ferris Bueller in the shower??

I LOVE bath time!

Carousel at Glen Echo

I am a lucky guy. I live just down the street from Glen Echo Park.

They have a super cool carousel.

It re-opened for the season yesterday, so I called my

friend Andrew and we headed over for a ride.

It was very crowded and we had to wait in line for a long time.

Then we got on and found the perfect horse to ride.

My Dad showed me the ropes of riding a carousel.

Mom felt kinda sick from riding in circles!

I had so much fun with my Mom & Dad!

Then today, Melba came for a visit.

I told her all about the carousel...and guess what?

We went for another ride!

Moonwalk!

Friday was a special day at school: Senior Spirit Day! Every year the senior girls have their final day of classes, and a big celebration! All of my friends from Brown House were invited to attend the festivities. There was a DJ, pizza (I had my first bite - yum!), and a moonwalk! Once all of the big girls were done jumping, the little kids got turn. First, I went in with Ms. Sharon and we bounced on our bottoms.

Then my friend Andrew joined me.

But I got tired of sitting in the corner like a baby,

so I hatched a plan and started moving to the other side.

The ground kept moving and it was sure hard to crawl,

but Andrew and I made it to the other side with the bigger kids!

Moonwalks are amazing!

Easter Weekend

What a busy weekend! I went on an adventure.

I always bring my baseball bat when I go on adventures.

You never know when you'll need it.

Grampa Jim and Grandma Tiny came to visit,

so we took them to see Great Falls.

Grandma Tiny pushed me along the canal

and out to see the rapids.

Look how high the water was!

Sunday was Easter. I got a basket filled with books and eggs.

Then Mom and Dad dressed me in this silly outfit.

I look like I'm 80 years old!

We ended the night with a yummy cake

that looked like an Easter egg!
