April Randoms

Hi everyone!! Well there is not much new with me lately. I've sick most of April due to teething. This last week or two I've popped through 3 and am working on my fourth molar so things have been pretty painful and insane here. I'm anxiously waiting for the weather to get nice so I can play outside in the yard with my slide and sandbox!! We are putting up a fence around the whole yard right now so I can't excape and can roam free around the yard. I'm also a lot more vocal now ... I can say tons of different words and talk all the time. I can also have little conversations with Mom and Dad (even though half the time I don't think they can understand me) Here's some updated pictures of me .....

Laying around in my Dora ball pit

Hhmmm .... I think this piece goes here

Peek-a-boo ... climbing under the slide

Vroom, vroom ... off to go and pick up another load of goodies

Taking time to pose for the camera inbetween slides down

Visit with Grandma and Grandpa Beldam

On the weekend Grandma and Grandpa Beldam came out for a visit. We had a great time with them. They took me to Jungle Playland on Saturday morning to play around and burn off some energy. Can you believe I even got Grandpa to come down the slide with me?!!? Well I did and Grandma took me down too ... we had sooo much fun!!!


Maybe if I stick out my tongue I'll get more balance!?!?

Making a getaway in the big maze

Yeah for spring time!!

Other than the snow we had on the weekend (which was very bizarre) spring time is almost here which means lots of playing outside. Now that I'm walking all over the place it's much easier for me to play outside and can't wait to be out in the yard all the time!!

A visit with Shauna and Steph

Dad and I outside

Checking out the old lawn mower .. looks kinda gross to me!!

Roaming around the back of the house

Learning to drive Dad's truck ... to bad the pedals weren't on the seat, I'd be outta here!!!

Got my game face on!!

Taking the monkey for a ride

Where to now??

Walking, walking, walking

Now that I'm walking, it seems like I live in a new place. I'm looking at everything from a whole new prospective ... so these last couple of days I've been re-checking out the house and seeing where everything is ....

Let's see where this door takes us ....

Found the bathroom

Now let's head in a different direction ...

Oh ya, that's where I left all my toys!!

Now it's time to play :o)

Starting to get this whole walking thing

Well I'm getting closer and closer to this whole walking thing!! Last night we were at Grandma and Grandpa Tolsma's house and Auntie Missa was playing with me on the floor. All of a sudden I just started walking towards Mom and Dad. After that I couldn't stop. I walked all around the living room and kitchen on my own. I was sooo proud of myself and everyone there was super proud of me also!!! Today I was kinda leary about walking again but Mom cleared out the living room for me to give me some space and we are gonna practice, practice, practice. Now that I've done it once I know what it's all about and am ready to take off. Any day now I'll be a full fledged walker .... hopefully :o)

Still not walking on my own

So I'm two days shy of being 16 months and I'm still not walking. I'm going to blame it on laziness and maybe a little bit of lack of confidence. I love to walk with Mom and Dad if they hold onto my hand but I'm not quite ready to take that step on my own yet. The other day Dad and I were walking to Mom and he let go of my hand and I managed to walk the 6 or 7 steps to get to Mom before I fell. I was very proud of myself and now I know that I am just that much closer to being able to do it on my own!!!

Hanging out in the kitchen ... hhmmm what to make for dinner?!!?
