I’m pretty sure Mom will start crying if she reflects on how I have changed over the last 5 months.  So enjoy the pictures!

Here’s to another incredible month!

Mom and Dad bought me a new Hokie hat that I had to show off today, must have provided some good luck for our big win over BC.  Good luck to Super T and the Gators tonight, my aunt Becky is trying to raise me a Gator! 

I had a great day with Mom and Dad filled with eating cereal, sitting, listening to music, and practicing being on my stomach—crawling is just around the corner!

Yup – I am the big two-one today!  Not the big 21, but 21 weeks – Mom and Dad are afraid I am growing up too quickly!

Speaking of growing up, I’ve been busy trying to roll over from my back to my belly but haven’t quite got there yet.  I really can roll over that way but choose not to – it’s no fun being on my belly!

Enjoy the new pictures!

For the first time in a month Mom and Dad have me all to theirselves.  I’m just such a popular man, everyone wants to visit me all the time.  Since Mal and Pap wanted to still see me I inspired them to join my ever-growing Skype list.  They are still working out the kinks, but I definitely saw and heard them, which made me very happy.

I also went up the craft show and enjoyed the fresh air and riding in my stroller.  Enjoy the pictures of me playing with Mom and Dad! 🙂  Oh, everyone always says what a happy baby I am, I thought I would give you one crying picture.  I hardly ever cry, but this teething stufff has me all whacked out. 

Mom and Dad just can’t believe how fast I am growing.  Now that I am sitting they are giving me more things to play with, like cups, blocks, and even some water play.

I attended another football game, I got to meet a lot of mom’s former students and some of their friends.  Mr. Diebler scared me at first, but I quickly warmed up to him, he’s a funny guy!

Thanks for the package Aunt Becky!  I can’t wait to use it!!!

Mal, Pap, Rhonda, and Harvey came to see me this weekend.  I spent most of the time showing off my new sitting up skills.  On Thursday (9/24) I first sat for about 10-15 seconds, now I’m up to over a minute!  Mom and Dad just can’t believe all that I can do at only four months!!  Who knows what I’ll be doing the next time they see me! 🙂

I’ve been getting tired of having Mom and Dad do so much for me lately that I’ve decided to take things into my own hands.  I figure if I want to get things done, I better start on it now!

So I’ve decided to start sitting on my own.  I can only do it for 10-15 seconds at a time but I’ll be sitting for good in no time!  Dad gave me a hand today also in standing.  Pretty soon I won’t need any help in that either!  

I’ve also decided to help Mom out and start feeding myself.  My bottle gets heavy sometimes but I am working on getting my arms stronger so I can do that also!  I’ll keep working on new things!

I had a nice time with Granny and Grandpa.  Later in the day I practiced more with my sippy, I’m getting so big!  I go for my four-month shots tomorrow, I’m sure the doctors will be so proud of how I have grown!

Grandpa and Grandma came down to see me today.  I’m still a little fussy from my teething, but I enjoyed my night out.  We played for a while…

Then we went to dinner where  I met a lot of Nebraska fans.  I told them to enjoy Virginia, but Go Hokies!  Later, we went to the high school football game.  I liked seeing some of mom and dad’s friends and riding in my stroller.  We didn’t leave until the third quarter, I’m such a big man! 🙂
