At the beginning of this month (when I had just turned 8 months old) I pulled myself up to a standing position for the first time! Soon I began climbing the stairs and now I am walking while holding onto anything firm or "cruising". I am making more signs too! I use milk, eat, and more to tell Mom and Dad what I want...

Jan. 25th - I was on TV for the first time! Mom and Dad took me to the Quad City Botanical Center and Dad and I were interviewed by the local news. See the video of it below!

Then, last week I got my first ear infection - but I didn't feel bad at all and am just as happy as ever - I just have a cough and runny nose! Now my upper front teeth are about to come in and I just had my 9 month old pictures taking on Valentine's Day! That's all for now... wait 'til you see what I'm up to next month.



My 9 Month Old Portraits













Standing!



With Mom at the Koi pond at the Quad City Botanical Center.



Dad and I looking at the parrots...
One squawked really loud and startled me!





Being interviewed for TV News Channel 8!



A Quicktime video of me on TV for the first time! Dad and I were interviewed at the Quad City Botanical Center and we were on the local Channel 8 news broadcast that Sunday evening (Jan. 25th).

Having fun on the stairs with Mom close behind. If you want to see some movies of me Climbing Stairs and Cruising click here! Be patient, it may take some time to download... you may want to let it do it's thing and come back in a few minutes - especially if you have a dial-up (telephone) modem!









I am getting really good at feeding myself Cheerios - look at those fingers work!









I love credit cards - Mom and Dad give me all the fake ones that come in the mail. I am making a goofy face with it!



Look at me stand! I love to pose for Mom's pictures!











Trying to get to the Kitty - I love to play with him!



I like playing with my bookmark - I hope you are enjoying the one I sent to you at Christmas!



Getting tickled by Daddy!



I was looking pretty cute today - so Mom just had to take some photos!













Climbing! Oh Boy! Mom better watch out!



Is there still snow outside?!? When is Spring gonna get here?!?









My new favorite hobby: standing and playing with anything on the coffee table...









That's All! Bye-Bye until next month!
