Cousin Barry and I at the Bergschneiders. Wow, he is soooo much bigger than I am! I am so grateful that men like him are defending my home. I give a big rattle salute to our armed forces!
Grandma Ott and I went to see the Bergschneiders in Clinton. I saw my first snow!
Dad and I hanging out at home. He thought it would be cute if I wore my bib as a hat. I tried to explain that I'm cute no matter what!
Liberty Bowl game day. Go Hogs!
Great-Uncle Harold helps me show off my New Year's tiara. Thanks Great-Aunt Floy!
While everyone else was eating black-eyed peas and cornbread, Grandpa was giving me a taste of Cool Whip. It took me a little while to warm up to the idea...

Playing in my room
Here kitty, kitty. Let me grab a fist full of fur!
Mom and dad, get ready. I'm almost mobile!
For my first Thanksgiving dinner, I went to Great Aunt Floy and Great Uncle Harold’s house. Of course, I didn’t get to enjoy much in the way of dinner since I still don’t have any teeth, but seeing everyone was alot of fun. The thing I am most thankful for is the wonderful group of friends and family that take such good care of me. In particular, I am grateful for Grandma and Grandpa Ott that let me stay with them while mom and dad are at work. They never seem to get tired of playing with me!
Great Aunt Floy and cousin Rachel got me this snazzy turkey bib to commemorate my first Thanksgiving.
Unfortunately, all they gave me to chew on was this toy. They better give me some turkey next year, or I'm going to boycott!
Cousin Harold gives infant-holding a try. I promise he got better. I eventually even smiled at him!
Look mom! I can sit up on my own!
Now if I can just balance myself while picking up my toys. You know they belong in my mouth. Not on the floor!
I'm also learning to crawl. Well, I'm still mostly swimming...but it's the effort that counts.
Nap time for Grandpa. I guess I'll take one too. I hope he doesn't start snoring!
I love being outside!
Hey! What's that up in the sky? A bird? A plane?
Not Superman. Losing interest.
Ok. I'm bored. Are we done yet?
If I wave my arms enough, can I really fly?
I know I look cute!

My hands are so fascinating!

Hi mom. Don't you ever get tired of pointing that camera at me? Wait a minute! Does this onesie make me look fat? And can you at least comb my hair first?
Hey! Look over there! Go get me that cat!
