10 Months

This is McB waving to everyone he doesn't get to see very often. Really, we're still working on the waving thing. It is coming along slowly and only when he decides to wave which is usually not when mommy is trying to get him to wave.


He loved Valentine's Day. He still plays with his touch and feel card and listens to his music card. His favorite thing to do is let mommy hit his head with the big red balloon.





McB is getting more brave each day. He took 4 steps on his own a few days ago.







He tried to help mommy blow out her candles but he really wasn't sure of what to think about the whole thing.








He is climbing on everything. He wants to make sure he plays with toys in the most dangerous way possible. The second picture is McB standing on a rocking chair in front of Nonie's fireplace:)

Teething is really hard on a little guy. Pretty much anything works as a teether. He may have been trying to tell the waitress to hurry-up and bring our food:)

It is about time for our 3rd haircut.

9 Months

Wow!!! We are making up for a lack of pics over the past few months.

This month has been lots of fun.

McB took pics with all his cousins at Christmas.

Edna

Dallas (it snowed:)

He loves giving kisses but he has not figured out how to keep his mouth closed. Well...he can keep it closed really well if mommy is trying to get him to take his last bite of food:)

McB is really thankful that God created dead leaves to play in. Mommy and Daddy are excited about the fact that one day McB will be able to help clean up all the dead leaves.

Airports make awesome playgrounds. I'm sure we picked up all kinds of germs.

Playing under the seats in the terminal. Chasing the shadow monster.

We had tons of fun in Montana. We celebrated New Years and Jarod and Christine's marriage with mommy's cousin's.

The ladies were chasing McB across the dance floor.

Skiing at Great Divide.

McB, Mommy & Daddy bundled in the cold.

Horseback riding in the snow in Helena, Montana.

These are the ladies that McB met on the dance floor. They are both his 2nd cousins.

Uncle Dave's bonfire.

Heading Home

McB entertained everyone with his funngy noises and faces on the plane. He loves figuring out how to make new noises.

Flying at night is great fun. There are so many lights and colors outside the window when you take-off and land.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Decorating what is left of my mom's college Christmas tree. We bought some new shatter- resistent ornaments this year to make it look a little better.

This is McB's "deer in the headlights"pose. He worked really hard on it.

McB's 1st time on a horse.

ON THE GO!

I've been everywhere man.

Pull up... fall down... cry...!

McB at the car show sporting his shades.

Mostly in my cage. Sometimes McB can convince mommy or daddy to

hang out in his cage with him.

6 Months

It has been a month of Firsts.

First time to have to bundle up in the cold.

1st time to sit in the duck all by himself.

Mom was close by. He's not quite sitting independently yet.


First haircut.

All you need is a mommy and a daddy and a bumbo and a baby praise video.

First time to eat FOOOOOD.

He loved the rice cereal but then he just wanted to play with the spoon and bowl and make a MESS.

This is what he thought about apple sauce. We thought we were being nice letting him try something other than rice cereal for his 6 month birthday. We found out a few days latter that he is a bigger fan of peas.

There were 2 new pumpkins growing in grandma and grandpa's pumpkin patch this year.

Katybug & McB

He was not real excited about having to wear this pumpkin suit.

He decided to pose anyway. This is is favorite pose. He is commonly found hanging out on his side playing with toys or just looking around.

5 Months

Time is flying by more quickly than we ever imagined. McB is on the move. He rolls and scoots forward on his tummy. He also found his voice this month and he likes to use it when mommy reads to him. We think he is trying to read at 5 months:)

He LOVES to swing. No, he is not waving yet but he usually keeps one hand free as he swings. It looks like he is riding a bull.

He is really in to his Baby Praise videos.

This is what happens when daddy babysits. He gets to eat whatever he wants. Don't worry, this one is clean.

He did not make much progress on his tan this summer.

Here is a shot of his baby dive pose.

4 Months

McB is really getting to be more active. He smiles alot and laughs at mommy and daddy.

Toys are getting to be more exciting.

BigB went to Mexico for a week. We missed him alot!

BigB brought back McB's first musical instruments.
He is not really in to them yet.




McB took a ride on mommy's really old horse with a little help from Granny.

It has been a great month for swimming. He loves the water!
