National FFA Convention

Got back yesterday from the FFA National Convention in Indianapolis with mommy and aunt Jess. It was a great time. I was really good on the plane rides and it was great to see many of my FFA friends that I haven't seen since Washington DC this summer.

Daddy was gone hunting in ND this weekend and I was so happy to see him even though it was when I woke up at night. I was sleeping when he got home!

I am totally sitting up on my own now and have only taken a couple of face plants! There will be many of those in the years to come. No big deal!! Here I am with my MN State Officer friends on the big stage in the convention hall. I liked hearing the speakers especially the National Officers give their final speeches. The music was a little loud for me some times so mommy plugged my ears for a lot of it. I hope I can go back again in the future!

I know that many of you question how much of this blog I really do myself...well, that part right there was officially me. I am home with daddy tonight while mommy is playing bells at church. Daddy let me really help him out on the blog. I am doing pretty well, huh?

Leaves!!!

We had a busy weekend. Daddy did wedding photos on Friday and two family sessions on Saturday. Three sessions got postponed today because of bad weather.

I was along for this one in the leaves and it was great. You probably know by now that I am not liking eating my food too much...BUT I REALLY LIKE LEAVES!!! Maybe mommy and daddy can mix some of this up with some sweet potatoes or rice cereal?!?!

I also officially said my first word today..."Dad"...it was right after my third poopy diaper in a row that daddy changed (and lost his appetite before dinner). But I said it nonetheless. Mommy is claiming that it wasn't real, but we're pretty sure it came out that way.

New Trick

Here is my new trick with my mouth. It's kind of like I just discovered my tongue and I really like to twist it around. Daddy put me in my new bear coat to go for a walk this afternoon because it was so chilly outside. Sogn liked getting out with us though.

Testy

I have been really testing mommy and daddy when it comes to eating! I love being in my high chair, but not so much love for the cereal, sweet potatoes and formula! I was home with daddy on Tuesday though and ate 9 ounces in one sitting and didn't even take a breath. I even held the bottle with my own hands.

I am making some new noises too. My favorite is a wooo-woooo-woooo sound. I am really working on sitting up on my own and I love to be held so I can stand. Not too long and I will be cruising around on my own. The other night, daddy sat on the floor with me and I rolled over and over all the way around the living room. After about 15 minutes, I was right back at daddy's side!

Away from Mom & Dad

This was a monumental weekend for all of us. Mommy and daddy left me home alone with Aunt Jess on Friday night and Gma Carol on Saturday night so they could go up north for their 5th annviersary! It was much more traumatic for mommy than it was for me. I had a great time with Gma Deb and Aunt Jess on Friday and Saturday. I ate well, took naps, and had a great time. Gma Carol came and picked me up on Saturday afternoon and took me and Sogn back to my house in Farmington. Again, we had lots of fun. Went on some walks with Sogn too!
