If I don't get my way, I let you know it

I always get my way, though.

I TOWER over my Sesame Street peeps now

And I'm big enough to sit on my Elmo couch all by myself! I may even fold it out to take a nap sometime!

Daddy was having some juice and I wanted some, too

He was kind enough to share.

Good weekend, but tiring...

Pardon me while I catch some zzzzzzs...

Noooo! Not the baby kryptonite!

My physical therapist was trying to motivate me to pull myself up from kneeling position. She tried putting toys on the couch, but I have so many others that I just turned my attention to the ones that didn't require me to work that hard. Then she got wise to my tricks and put mommy's CrackBerry on the couch... no baby can resist! And just look at that cute mug on mommy's phone! What a pretty baby! I pulled myself up in no time flat.

Could you say "no" to this face?

Mommy can't. Ever.

Why won't this mooooove?!

Mommy is FINALLY posting our Father's day pictures

This is me with daddy on Father's day morning. Then I gave daddy his present. He was so surprised! He shouldn't have been - I can get anything I want off of Amazon.com! I am one techno-savvy baby!

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Oh, the pig chair is so fun!

Mommy loves my cheeks

She says they're just soooooo kissable! And she proves it all the time.

A quick lesson in human biology...

You're welcome!

Much like mommy, I love tomatoes!

Mommy got me a piggy chair!

He's so cute... and he's very comfortable, too! Good job, mommy!

Snipit of our conversation:

Scott: "It's a true story!"

Me: "No way. I didn't just fall off the turnip truck, you know."

You haven't balanced the checkbook in HOW long?!

Okay, hand it over. The baby has to do EVERYTHING around here...

Mommy loves that I pose for the camera

I am SUCH a ham! Just look at those gestures! The pout (first pic) and the legs (second pic)! Mommy says I'm a natural. No wonder I'm in such high demand as a baby model!

Ten months and I'm still poppin' fresh

Mommy said I still have that new baby smell.

Check back at 11:17pm!

I have a few things to do first before posting today's blog. I saw a few diapers I want to punish.

Daddy was trying to feed me, but all I wanted to do was look at mommy

Hi!

Do I want honeydew? Yes, I do.

Nice and sweet!

My new tricks

Just in time for my 10 month birthday, I am actively expanding my vocabulary and adding to my bag of tricks.

Last weekend, I welcomed mommy home by saying "ma ma ma ma ma ma ma!" And just yesterday, I started saying "da da da da da da" so daddy wouldn't feel left out. I also say "hi" and "yeah." And when I don't want to make the sign language sign for milk, I say "ba" for bottle.

But like an infomercial, that's not all! I am a pro at taking off my left sock (the right one doesn't offend me, but that left foot simply *has* to be bare!). Daddy calls me the one-socked-wonderkid. Mommy just nibbles on my little toes - it tickles! And I recently also started taking off my sock, smelling it, yelping and throwing it on the ground (then laughing reeeeeaaaally hard and clapping for myself after a job well done!). Mommy says I'm fantastic. I can hardly wait to show off my latest tricks!

Is it football season yet?

Fight on, Trojans!

Daddy has a baby hat!

Sometimes his hat has a stinky diaper! Then he claims it's mommy's hat, and he was just borrowing it.

This again?

Daddy is so easily amused!

This is daddy's idea of a facial

He has so much to learn! Lucky for him, he has ME.

After some snuggles, it's back to playing with toys

...and charming the heck out of mommy and daddy by rolling all over the place, including on top of my mirror (and propping my leg up on the mirror -- it's comfy!).

I have an easier way of getting to my toys anyway

Less effort, same result!

Okay, that's enough standing - you can pick me up now

Daaaaaddy, I want THESE toys!

Don't worry - I can get them all by myself!

You want doe eyes?

I'll show you some doe eyes.

This requires a lot of concentration

Shhhhhh. I need to focus.

Mommy tried to dupe me with a cracker - you want it?

I thought this was a toy until I bit off a piece and realized it was food. Do you want it?

Teething biscuits provide some much-needed relief...

Oh, my sore little gums!

Mommy said an apple a day keeps the doctor away

And I don't want to see those guys any more than I have to! Mommy stocked up on some organic apples for me to make sure of it.

Oh good, another lollipop!

SUCKER!

I SAID come here!

I have ways of getting you to obey!

Success!

I enjoy teething on my spoon.
