Handsome and Happy

Mommy wanted this picture posted on the blog, so now I have to think of something to write. . .
I try to do a lot more exploring these days. I do long-distance crawling now – from the living room all the way to my room! Whew! I also move along the couch and go from the couch to the ottoman without falling. I’m pretty good at putting my hand down and kneeling to the floor, but I still sometimes fall instead. Ouch. I’m also working on my third tooth, which makes me a little cranky sometimes (so I want to be held a lot). I like getting my teeth brushed and I think it’s funny to watch Mommy and Daddy brush theirs. I also hear Mommy say something about needing to learn what “inside voice” means. (I test out my vocal cords quite a bit.)
Well, that’s about all that goes on in my little world right now.

Macomb Balloon Rally

Written by Ellen on September 8, 2008 – 8:00 am -


This weekend we went to Great Grandpa and Grandma’s house. We went down Friday just in time to see some hot air balloons flying over us as we drove to the pizza place. I didn’t actually see them, but Mommy, Daddy and Great Grandma did. They ate some really yummy pizza (so they say) at Mommy’s favorite pizza place ever, Aurelio’s. She usually gets some every time she goes to Macomb.
Saturday morning I played with Daddy while Mommy and Great Grandma went to garage sales and Great Grandpa went balloon chasing! That evening we went to see the balloons fly out. Then they all came back (in the trailers) and some of the balloons were put up so we could see them “glow”. One time while we were close to a balloon basket the burst of flame scared me and I cried. Great Grandpa held me up to sit on the basket, but I was much more interested in his shirt – it was plaid AND it had buttons! Then it started to rain so we left.
Sunday we just went to church, watched a little football and then went home during my nap time.
I like to go to Great Grandma and Grandpa’s. I can’t wait for the next time!
