1 Year

WOW!

Can you believe it has been a whole year!

Here is McB signing"I'm 1!"

God gave us wonderful weather for McB's B-day parties.

Here are a few of his new fav things to do.

Playing OUTSIDE in the his new pool. He is drinking the water and getting his fiber "grass" to balance out the sugar he ate in the b-day cake.

Swinging and playing in his sand frog.

McB and daddy shared this gift (new baby seat for dad's bike).

He is starting to get the idea of opening presents.

On your birthday, you get to eat all kinds of bad things. McB takes after his dad and LOVES cheese puffs,

however;)

CAKE IS THE HAPPIEST PART OF 1st BIRTHDAYS!!!

When your grandparents live out of town, you get double the cake; and when your dad has a birthday in the same week, you get triple the cake!

Here are a few of McB's favorite things to do.

Playing in the water.

Eating Bananas

Getting daddy to pick him up and let our new vents in the ceiling blow his hair.

Hanging out with mom, dad and barking with Harley.

Sneaking around the corner and finding/surprising mom and dad.

Climbing through obstacles. Who needs toys?




Climbing on dad.



Being tickled by mom.




Laughing

Playing with his new blanket made by Mrs. Colleen

Figuring out what everything tastes like.

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.

Daddy, McB and Mommy on our last night in Montana.

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.
