I heart Mommy

Daddy calls me a Momma's boy, but who wouldn't be with this Momma!

Aunt Lori was nice enough to take some pictures of mommy and I together. We don't get too many of her because she is the one usually taking the pictures!

I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about my mommy.

She is my personal gourmet chef, no one can open the baby food jars like her..

She is a magic healer, one kiss and my boo boo feels better....

She is an excellant dancer, my favorite is to The Little Mermaid and Lilo & Stitch cartoon morning music...

She is also my tester for the new perfume I am working on, eu du spitup....

She is super strong, can carry me in car seat, diaper bag, groceries, open gate, dodge dogs, open door and make it to the kitchen table in record time....

I am sure there is more but I need her to quit typing and get me a bottle... But best of all she is the best mommy cause she loves me so much! Awwwww

Mom says my cheeks are so chubby that she can't stop kissing them!

And here are a few of just me!

Burning Love

On one of my many visits to see my girlfriend Kaylee, we got to stop by and say Hello to her daddy at work. He gets ride on a real life Firetruck! How cool is that!! Well what is even cooler is I got to sit on it!

Here Kaylee and I are doing our best to make the siren sound!

We had lots of fun at the fire department. When they visit us over here I will show Kaylee my daddy's job! But I won't put her in the back of the police car, I will let her sit up front with me...

Olympic Gold - well maybe Goldfish

With the upcoming Olympics, it made me start to think about introducing a new event. My baby olympic event will be....drum roll please........****Jumping on your bed, while trying to bite your crib rail********

Our first contestant is Chase Powell, the crowd cheers as he starts to make his way down the crib mattress towards the crib rails. One hand grasp the side, the other swings around and grabs the rail... The crowd grows silent as he slowly pulls himself up to the top rail.... You can see teeth marks from previous attempts....

Second foot up and he is officially standing, he licks the rail to make sure it is good to go... liking the taste he giggles and launches off the bed in a jumping frenzy.....

The crowd goes wild....with barking....the dogs are his biggest fans and audience... :) He sizes up the rail, while continuing to jump and tries to chew the rail.... Boom, clunk, chew, bite down... oh no he missed the rail and bites his tongue! ahhhhhhhh the audience howls as our champion screams. His coach (Mommy) rushes in and swepts him in to medical (Daddy), after quick look to see how bad it is...Chase starts to laugh. Phewwww that was a close one and scared mommy.

But Chase the champion refuses to give up on his dream and immediately goes back practicing for his olympic event! Oh Chase please give Mommy a night to catch her breath...

What happens when Dad watches me alone

My favorite days are when Dad and I get to spend a manly day at home together. We watch TV, play video games and just hang out. I play so hard that I just get all tuckered out. Who needs to go to bed when a little catnap is all I need.

I was jumping and laughing then all a sudden Dad didn't hear anything, he looked over and saw this...

Check out my Chompers

This was taking this morning. I have 4 top teeth and still the lonely two on the bottom. But it won't be much longer before I have some more. I am chewing my hand like it is candy and drooling just as much!





I have a new game I play with the parents for feeding time. They call it Feeding Frenzy... One parent puts food in my mouth with a rubber coated spoon. I then proceed to bite down with my 5 teeth, then shake my head, ball up my fist and growl sometimes. Below is a video mommy took one morning of me in action!

Man vs. Beast

Who will win the Battle between Man vs. Beast, well really it is boy vs. puppy... but it sounded good.



Mom said hey Chase look at me! And just as I did I let the lustrous foam thingy out my sight, Copper my 7 month old puppy snagged it.






Below are pictures of a tug a war between the two of us. Mom was laughing so hard she forgot to switch to action mode on her camera, but you still get the idea with the fuzzy pictures!

My Granddad Mickey

I got to meet my Granddad Mickey Powell over the past weekend. Mommy had a housefull of Powell men, and we had such a good time. In fact Dad and Granddad were brave enough to watch me all day while mommy worked. They were brave indeed cause I am teething big time!

How lucky am I to have all these Grandparents! I have just one more to meet, my Great Grandma in Texas, I hope to see you soon! Nana tells me you read all about me here, and I just wanted to say Hello! Alright so there is my first Shout Out, back to Granddad....

We ate dinner together, played with the dogs and did all kinds of fun stuff while he was here. I can't wait to see him again.

I was so busy that I finally fell asleep in dad's arms.

I would also like to give a shout out to my Uncle Mickey, we are thinking about you and wish you a speedy recovery. We will come meet all our Alabama family soon.

8 months - and a few days!!

Eight months, eight months.. I am 2/3 of a year old! Mom is a little late posting my 8 month pics but here they are. Actually these were taken on my 8 month bday. Dad weighed me yesterday and I am a whopping 19 pounds, almost 20! I guess that is why mommy has been saying her back hurts lately and her arm muscles are getting bigger! Remember mom lift with your knees not your back silly!





I am a mover and a stand-er now. I don't sit in one place much anymore, so she could only get one picture before I went into my search and destroy mode.






I picked up at Grandma D's house that I don't necessarily have to crawl to everything if I am sitting on a sheet or blanket. Pulling the fabric quickly brings the object to me with less effort! I am not lazy I am efficient, right Dad! At least that is what Dad tells mom occasionally.






Cool thing about these blocks is the letters and numbers come out!

And they sure feel good on my soar

gums...

Happy 4th of July

Whooo hoo 4th of July is Friday.... I got my first taste of the holiday with a little watermelon. Hmmm it is cool and a little squishy.

Slippery little suckers, but I do like that is makes me messy and sticky.











Alright lets see if I can grab it... .got it.....

















It tastes sweet, but I wasn't expecting all that juice to come out!

















I am not really a big fan, maybe when I have a few more teeth.. Speaking of teeth, I got number 5 in!! Cha-Ching Piggy bank.













Well there is my first taste of Watermelon... Hope everyone will have a safe and Happy 4th, come on by and join me in the Pool!

Skinny Dipping

Got your attention didn't I.. I wasn't naked but I was sporting my super cool swim trunks! Thanks Kai, I love them! How nice it is to have not one, but three older boy cousins. Mom sure loves it, I get to wear all their neat clothes they can't wear anymore!

Nana and Pappa R came over to see us this past weekend. We had a great visit.

I wasn't really sure about the whole pool thing, the water wasn't cold, but it definately wasn't bathwater, know what I mean...burrrr Nana tried to take my mind off it with a floaty toy.

Baker and Copper tried to show me that is was alright and to just get in, they love the water, especially the water hose. Dad got them nice and soaked before mom came out...hehehe

So I finally get my little tush down and Hey this isn't so bad. I guess I will take a little snack and eat one of these floaty things.

What is mommy doing with her hand..... OH MY GOODNESS you can splash the water......

This is so much fun, look it goes everywhere... Yippeee...

This is great, ohhh what is over on the other side, lets go see.

ERRR I am the strongest boy alive!!! Take that you pool thing. Whoa....man that pool thingy is tough.. I will get you next time

Well that was my first pool adventure, hope you had just as much fun as I did. I go in it as much as possible now.
