9 month birthday!

Birthday Boy in the house!!!! Waaaaaaawhoooooooo! I’m 9 months old this month! Mom said this is a big deal because I’ve almost been outside of her longer than I was inside of her.  Whatever that means.

Luke teaching me how to count to 9.  Silly child, he must
not read my blog, clearly I'm the educated brother. 

This month has been awesome! I’m pleased to report that I’m still huge. My exact stats won't come until I go to the doctor on the 10th. But, I can pretty much guarantee you that I'm in the 100th percentile for everything.  Mom and Mimi had to go shopping to buy me new clothes since I'm growing so fast.  People say I'm going to be as big as daddy!  Lucky me!! I just hope I get mom's hair. 

I’ve done a lot of moving and shaking this month.  I can now stand all by myself and mom has caught me a few times moving my legs as I practice walking. I am also an expert stair climber.  I’m tired of Luke being able to move faster than me.  Soon I’ll be walking, so Luke better watch himself.  I continue to have 2 teeth on the bottom and 4 on top.  The 4 on top are growing longer, so when I smile you can see them.  Mom thinks they are the cutest – so whenever I knock something over, I smile really big so mom won’t get upset with me.

My bedroom was too clean.  I fixed that in just 2 minutes. 

Mom likes to pretend I'm still a baby.  I play along
only for the extra milk. 

This month I got to watch more football with daddy, nap with daddy, and best of all, Luke and I get to climb all over him and play horsey. What’s even better is that our Bama football team continues to win!  Clearly, I’m their lucky charm.

Napping with daddy.  He keeps me warm

Daddy deemed our matching outfits as "lucky",
so we have to wear them every Saturday. 

Another football game, another Saturday in
the exact same outfit. 

Causing mischief

We took Christmas pictures with Aunt Christy and Uncle Justin and then Sarah and William came into town for Thanksgiving!!! O MY GOODNESSSSS why didn’t anyone warn me about this thanksgiving thing???  It was wild! Mimi cooked an Italian fest!  She even let me eat some cut up turkey and mashed potatoes.  Talk about delicious!!  I don’t even know what this stuff from a jar mom feeds me is.  Gross.  I wish Thanksgiving Day was everyday!

With Mimi after we ate Thanksgiving.
Please come live with us Mimi!!  We deserve better food. 

Aunt Christy took this picture.  She always puts a smile on my face. 

I’m learning about this thing called Christmas.  Apparently, its Baby Jesus’s birthday and we have to wear Christmas themed clothes everyday.   Where’s the birthday cake?  I’ve been looking in the kitchen cabinets daily; its bound to show up eventually.   Last weekend we went on a train ride to the North Pole to see Santa.  It was amazing! Next year, I’ll be big enough to tell Santa what I want for Christmas!  This year, I’ll just have to settle for whatever Mom thinks I want.  Luke asked Santa for a shooter, Thomas the Train & Elmo books, and M&Ms. 

Luke refused to take a picture with me.
Such drama. 

Well folks, that’s all I’ve got for you.  Soon we’ll be going up in the air to get to Tampa to celebrate Baby Jesus’s birthday! How exciting! Maybe I’ll find the birthday cake in Grandma’s kitchen cabinets?!?!  I can’t wait to play all day with William and Sarah and get to meet my cousin Susan for the first time!! She and I are going to talk all about cats because I love cats - especially their furry tail!

Have a great month & MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Love me,

GBaby

another one of Aunt Christy's pictures. Check out how
pretty I look.  

Mom is really proud of her Christmas decorations.  Let it be known
that Luke is the only one that has broken any ornaments. #IamPerfect

School picture day.  Homeboy cleans up well. 

This was a bid day for me.  I finally figured out how to turn around and stand up
while being strapped into the shopping cart.  I'm about to escape 

This is Kristen form the Y.  I nap on her while mom  exercises.
She also takes Luke's pacis away. hahaha. 

This is Eric Tucker (Luke's BFF) and Luke wresting with me.
They disguise it by saying they are giving me a "hug".  Its ok
I love the attention and soon i'll be able to wrestle back!
