3 Months:

Started drooling and sucking my thumb. Holding my head up while lying on my tummy for 20-30 seconds at a time.

4 Months:

I started sleeping 5-7 hours at night. I am rolling over from my stomach to my back

5 Months:

I moved from the bassinet to my crib.

6 Months:

I got my first taste of Oatmeal cereal and loved it. I did very well with it and only got about half of it on my clothes. I am able to hold my binky and put it in my mouth all on my own.
7 Months: My first tooth came in on March 11th.
9 Months Wahoo!!!! I am crawling now. At first I started scooting and doing the "army" crawl. Now I am on the go. I like to crawl all over my Mommy and Daddy. With a little bit of help I can stand up on my own. I took my first airplane trip to visit my Uncle Marc, Aunt Jenny, and Cousins Brandon and Cierra in Oregon. I had so much fun. I was the perfect baby on the plane. My ears didn't hurt at all. In fact I slept most of the way to Oregon and on the way home. While I was there I had a tooth come in. I now have four teeth. Two on the top and two on the bottom.
11 Months I love to swim. My Mommy and Daddy have me in swim class. I have so much fun. My favorite game is "humpty dumpty" and at the end of the song I fall into the water. But don't worry Mommy or Daddy catches me. Oh and if you look at my July pictures you will see that I went to the beach for the first time. I enjoyed playing with the sand. I got to see my cousin Kaden. And the water was so much fun. I liked the feeling of the water going back and forth on my feet.

I've tried lots of food. My favorites are rice, beans, bananas, and pasta noodles.

Look out world..... I am crawling all around. But I bet you I'll be walking by my first birthday.
13 Months Okay so I didn't start walking by my first birthday but that's alright. I've been busy with my Mommy going to swim class, music class, and playing with my friend Daniel. When I'm not doing that I'm playing with all my birthday toys that I got from my family and friends. Last week I took my first step. I walked from my Mommy to my Daddy. I laughed so much that I lost my balance. With a little bit of practice I can now walk about 8 steps. I enjoy walking around the kitchen island with my Winnie the Pooh choo choo train. I'm eating lots of food now. Some of the things Mommy and Daddy give me are eggs, ground meat, peas, and fruit. My favorites are watermelon and grapes. Oh and I can't forget Cheerios.
24 Months Okay no excuses, Mommy and I have been very busy. I am a big brother now. I like to kiss Baby Blake on his forehead and help Mommy burp him. I've been busy running around and playing in the backyard. Mommy and Daddy have a ton of toys for me to play with. I love to throw the ball and chase after it. I'm also a great swimmer. I've been taking swimming classes for a year and I'm getting so much better. Since Mommy has had the baby, Daddy has been my swim partner. Speaking of Daddy, we love to wrestle and play on the floor. He chases me around the kitchen island and we build towers with my mega blocks and I knock them down.

I have done so many things this past year. I've been to San Diego twice. I've been to the Zoo and got to see lots of animals. I go to the Irvine Spectrum every Friday night with my Mommy, Daddy, Grandma (Sally), and Aunt CeCe. I love to eat Wahoo's and ride on the carrousel. Every Sunday we walk to Starbucks and have breakfast at Taco Mesa (a yummy Mexican restaurant). And lastly I enjoy spending time with my Grandma (Robyn) and Grandpa. They usually have me once a week and we play all day long. I go to the park with them, take long walks, and even little trips to Costco and Home Depot.

2 1/2 Years Everyone tells me I'm such a big boy. I am talking so much now. I can count from 1 to 10 all by myself. And I know my colors too. Since my brother has been born we've been really busy. On Monday's I will be starting Parent and Me Preschool. I will be going with all of my friends that I see on Wednesday's at our playgroup. We usually meet at the park or some local play areas (like Jump 'n Jammin or the pond to feed the ducks). I'm still doing swimming lessons with my Daddy. And this last month Blake and Mommy have joined us in the pool. Little Blake has started to swim now. When I am taking a break in the water I get to enjoy watching him swim. My family and I still have our Friday nights out at the Irvine Spectrum (unless it's raining).

For Christmas my family and I got Disneyland passes and I went with Mommy, Daddy, Blake, Grandma (S), CeCe, Grandpa, and Grandma (R). I had so much fun with them. We all spent the day together and I got to take pictures with Goofy, Pluto, Minnie (which I gave her a kiss), and of course Mickey Mouse. I just love Mickey Mouse and the others. My favorite show to watch is the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Little Einstein. I've learned how to tip toe, play hide a seek, jump, and much more. My latest thing to do is throw all the sofa cushions on the floor and pounce on them.  

3 1/2 Years I've been one busy boy. I started preschool (Sept 2008) and just love it. My teacher says that I am a good student and love to play with my friends. I go to school twice a week at a nearby church in Mission Viejo. I miss it when I'm not there. I get to color, paint, cut with scissors, read books, visit the chapel, ride bikes outside, and so much more. I got a big wheel from Santa last year and I have so much fun outside with my neighbor Evan. But I have to be careful and not bump into my brother when he's outside and playing with his push car. I am a great big brother! I play with Blake all day long. We love to play chase and drive cars and trains on the floor. I've learned to share my toys. At first I didn't understand that all of the toys weren't just for me. But now we play great together. I also have a swim teacher once a week. He's taught me to kick with my feet, jump off the edge of the pool, and climb back out. Some of the days I get to wear fins and goggles and boy do I swim fast. I still spend my Friday nights with my family at the Spectrum, eat at Wahoo's, and ride the merry-go-round. For spring and summer I will be going to our community pools, playing at the parks, going to San Diego to visit the Wild Animal Park, Disneyland, Lake Tahoe, and maybe even a baseball game. I LOVE BEING 3!!!
11/25/2011 Wow!  A lot has happened in the last three years.  I attended two years of Preschool at Shepherd of the Hills, plus Kindergarten at Oso Grande Elementary School.  Go Grizzlies!  I like all types of arts and crafts -- especially drawing!  I'm in Mrs. Beard's 1st Grade class and have met many new friends.  I enjoy riding my two wheel Big Boy bicycle around the neighborhood -- while Blake tries to keep up!  I enjoy playing with my friend's Evan, Marissa, and Nico.  Also, I lost my first two baby teeth this year -- and my new ones are almost in!
