Paul's New Toys

Paul really liked the new toys you bought him, Grandma, but he also had lots of fun with the container too!

Having Fun on Daddy's Vacation

Paul has been having lots of fun with Daddy while he is on vacation this week. We did lots of yard work and Paul had a great time running around the yard.

He is still obsessed with talking on the telephone, and also with walking around with his staff (a piece of floor trim). We call him Moses.

We went shopping down at the Highlands. Paul got his first pair of shoes that weren't hand-me-downs. He was a wild man in Target. Mommy had to carry him out screaming. He wanted to take everything off every shelf.

Guitar Lesson

Paul is now obsessed with Daddy's guitars. He wants to get into the office to play them. This afternoon he got to play guitar in the kitchen for a while.

Visit with Michelle

It was so nice to visit with Michelle on Thursday. It was great to catch up and to meet Ralph. Paul had lots of fun with the pumpkin snow globe!

Fun with My New Toy

I'm having fun with my new walking toy. I don't quite have the hang of it yet.

Bundling Up

I usually love this time of year because it is great running weather, but it's getting a little cold to take Paul outside. I need to go shopping and get him so good cold weather outdoor gear. For now, he has to wear my socks over his hands.

He sure is super cute all bundled up!

Go Steelers!

Paul was pretending he was Big Ben! All the pictures are blurry because he is on the move!

Visit with Keli and Clay

We had a really nice visit at Keli and Clay's on Saturday. Paul loved getting into absolutely everything in their living room, and I enjoyed relaxing and spending time with my friends!

In this picture, Paul was wishing Gina a great time on her honeymoon on speaker phone!

Keeping Moving

Paul gets faster at walking and goes further and further every day.

He loves playing with all kitchen utensils. He wants to get in the dishwasher all the time. He loves to unload all my cupboards.

Paul is getting much more interactive. If he grabs our nose, we say "beep." Now, when we grab his nose, he says "beep."

After some practice, I taught him to feed me cheerios.

He is finally eating more solid food, although I still have to chase him around a lot to get him to finish things.

Visit with Baby Rachel

We went to visit and cook lunch for Julie, Rachel and Chris last Tuesday. Rachel was 2.5 weeks old. She is so, so, so cute and a very good baby. We are so happy for Julie and Chris!! Paul was both fascinated with Rachel and a little scared of her. He didn't quite know what to think.

We can't wait to see them again!

Visit with Grandma and Pappy

Paul had a great time with grandma, pappy and the kitty while mom and dad were at the wedding. He played inside and out with all the toys and with Grandma's kitchen utensils.

Gina and Sean's Wedding

Gina's wedding was wonderful. She looked beautiful and everyone had a great time. I was really fun to hang out with all the Alpha Xi girls!!! The cookies were way too good.

Shoes!

Paul wore shoes for the first time on Friday. It was hilarious!!! He acted like we put two alien lead weights on the end of his legs! He waved his feet around and walked really funny. By today, though, he is used to them.
