If only this Halloween candy would cooperate...

Fall of 2009: My Life at Six and Seven Months!

It's fall, it's chilly, and it's hat season, and my mom keeps trying to fit my big head into this hat...I just don't think it's going to work. At least dad and I had fun while I was wearing it and pretended to be bears...don't we look scary?

Just two boys, I mean "men", watching the tube!

I think these glasses are me!

Playing very hard in my exersaucer, but I've realized that as I am getting older, I'm not enjoying this toy as much...there's just so much more out there to be discovered!

Dad and I sporting our ND gear.....GO IRISH!

Mom didn't have any ND gear on, but I didn't want to leave her out!

Relaxing with my remote, or "bemote", as my mom calls it, after a bottle...I love the feeling of a full belly!

Maybe if I pray hard enough, I won't have to get anymore of these stinkin' shots!

Who said you couldn't suck on your pacifier upside-down...I think that's the best way!

My Grandpa and Grandma Morris got me my very own laptop...always trying to stay on top of my emails and facebook...it's rough being a baby!

I can't seem to get this stinkin' mouse to work...what's the problem?

Taking a break from work and walking around....got to keep my legs moving!

After I turned 6 months old, I really started to sit up like a big boy.

Playing with dad...I love to wear his hats.

Sometimes mom and I play so hard we just fall asleep and don't even mean to do it!

Nothing better than a full belly and falling asleep on my daddy...he's just so comfortable!

Mom and I like to go outside and stroll around the cul-d-sac...I'm getting pretty good at this walking thing if I do say so myself!

I've been making many new discoveries in life these days and grass is one of them! This stuff is so soft and it kind of tickles me! The best part is that I can hit it as hard as I want and it just pops right back up and I keep playing!

We all know my other hat wasn't quite fitting, so mom found me a new doggie hat...it's a little embarrassing, but I know she loves it so I just wear it and smile!

Now that I can sit up on my own, a new array of toys have entered my world. One of my new favorites is my cookie jar. I love to take the shapes out and put them back, and the cookie jar sings to me while I play!

I think you can eat cookies...I better test this one out!

Another new toy is my penguin. I hit and it bounces right back up....

...sometimes I get really aggressive!

I've also really come to love the game of peek-a-boo! I love when mommy and daddy put a blanket over my face and I can knock it off and then they say "boo"!

Do you think anyone can see me?

Really loving daddy's hats these days....they just tickle me!

All ready for the football game...first round of sectionals against Carmel! We didn't win, but I did my best to cheer loud for daddy and the team!

Dad and I after the game...at least I think that's my dad...can't quite tell with all that hair!

My first Chicago Bears t-shirt! Getting ready for Sunday afternoon football with daddy!

Another one of my favorite things these days are secrets....I love when mommy and daddy whisper in my ear...it feels so funny!

Lounging on my mommy...I love family days at home!

Snuggling with my Grandma before she leaves...she wasn't quite as fired up about the Bears game as I was, but that's okay!

Dad and I in matching shirts...we look pretty cool!

My first pair of overalls....I'm ready for some work in the yard now!

Jumping around with my mom...who needs to crawl or walk when you can jump everywhere you want to go?

I've made a lot of new discoveries these past two months! Mommy and daddy can't believe how much I've grown, not only physically, but in my personality too!
