the koehlers came to town!

my cousins stacy, ashley and conrad came to visit last weekend, which was a blast! i soaked up having nonstop attention and playmates... we went to gaylord opryland because it was too rainy for the zoo and spent a lot of time eating and trying out all my toys. can't wait to see them again this summer! sometimes it's more fun to get in the wagon than to push it

i spotted something spectacular!

now that i'm sleeping all night long in my own crib, i am even more giggly in the morning

and here is a rather long video of breakfast... it's worth it because i have some very interesting eating habits which involve using the kitchen table as a sort of resting area between my tray and my mouth. enjoy!

ten months and a visit from frankie and jim

here i am at ten months... one of these days mommy is going to figure out how to edit my pictures so we can zoom in and get rid of things like red-eye. in the meantime, i still think i'm pretty cute. frankie and jim stopped by for a visit and frankie was willing to hold me even though my face was covered in pasta
i'm still growing and my latest tricks include waving and plank pose

saturday swim class

i've started swimming at the y and it's really fun... i am not afraid of the water at all, and am quite an accomplished kicker. just have to work on my paddling and i'll be ready to head out on the high seas!

yeah, not a swimming picture, but it's a good one of me and daddy talking and learning to walk
