Better late than never

Well I finally did it ..... I crawled for the first time!!!! Here is a video that Uncle Kev took with his phone, it's not that good of quality but it's all we have.

Not much new

Well not much new to report these days. I still have only 2 teeth, I'm still not crawling yet but can get across the room very quickly by scooting and pushing myself feet first on my stomach (Grandpa Beldam now calls me Scooter) and rolling across the room. I'm very stable at standing on my own while holding onto something but I'm not quite ready to take that step yet and I can pull myself half way up off the ground onto the couch or table. I talk like crazy however when I want to, Mom says that sometimes when I get going she can't get me to stop for anything. I can say ... 'dada', 'mama', 'buh bye', 'nana', 'papa', and 'oh ohh', and lots of other things that my mom hasn't figured out what they actually are yet.

Big kisses for Dad

Who needs a highchair when you have a laundry basket ... it really does work just as good

Standing all by myself

Taking a nap in between playtime

Hanging out in Rocky's cage ... this must be what jail feels like

Bar fishing and Cultus Lake

Well this past weekend I went bar fishing on the Fraser River and swimming at Cultus Lake. It sure was a great water weekend. I'm trying to get in all the lake and river time I can before winter decides to roll around.

Hanging out at the river

Mmmm ... river rocks really do taste as good as they say

Auntie Sherry teaching me how to reel in the fish incase we get a bite

Now this is the life relaxing on the beach at Cultus

Mom and I playing on the swings

All tuckered out from swimming and playing all day

Learning to walk from the experts

Who better to try and teach me to walk but Grandma and Nana!!! Here they are giving me lessons and showing me how to do it when they came to visit for the day at Dad's house last week.

Jaclyn takes on the Shuswap

Look out Shuswap Lake here I come!!! What a great week I had houseboating with the Beldam family last week. It was so nice to see a bunch of my family that I have never met before. We had nice hot weather the whole week and I spent as much time as I could playing in the water and on the beach with everyone. I also got to see a bear for the first time while we were there. He came onto our beach every lunch time and early in the morning the last couple days we were there. One morning Dad and I were out on the picnic table and I saw the bear first before Dad and warned him that it was coming. Good thing I was keeping an eye out. All in all it was a great week and I really hope we all get to go again next year!!!

My week at dad's house

This last week mom and I went for a visit at dad's house. It was great to see all my family out there and have a visit with everyone. While I was out there I got a little bored and decided I would spice things up by popping out some teeth finally ..... so far I have my two front bottom teeth and I'm sure more are on their way very quickly!!! Once they are through more than just the tips I'll be sure to smile big for mom so she can take some pictures of my pearly whites.

Can you believe I'm 9 months old today!!! Wow, I'm starting to feel like an old lady already ... 3 more months to go and I'm gonna hit the big 1 year old mark ... I can hardly wait!!!

Dad and I deep in conversation during our bonding time


Who says mohawks aren't still in??

Don't mess with the Jac ... I mean business!!!

Hot, hot, hot ...

What is the best thing about all this hot weather??
All this yummy ice cream .........


and swimming in my pool in the back yard


With all this hot weather we have been having I love to eat ice cream and swim in my pool. Both are great things to do that keep me nice and cool!!
