Easter, train ride and baseball

What a fun and exhausting day!
Here I am swinging with my cuz and Papa.
After eating Easter brunch with my family I went on my very first Easter egg 'hunt'.
Easter was way cool! The meaning behind the day is awesome and so was my basket! Mommy calls me her little monkey butt so she got me a monkey basket :)
Mom likes to call this the 'baby trash talk' picture. My buddy Drew and I are talking smack via our onesies. How funny is this...Drew was born the day before his Mommy's birthday and I was born on my Mommy's birthday. What a week of celebrating we have coming up!

My first train ride was pretty awesome. Mom dressed me up like a train conductor so I looked pretty official. My buddy Noah and I had a blast bouncing up and down in our train car.
Here I am giving a wave to my adoring fans...
The first time I crawled over to Daddy and handed him the ball his heart melted :) Such a sweet gesture!

I'm becoming quite the ball player. Dad taught me to trap the ball and how to 'throw' it back. I've impressed many a lady with my athletic abilities :)
Dad and I love to wrestle. Here we are in mid-romp.

First haircut, trip to Ohio, R4TL race and Father's Day

We call this one Pebbles White. Can you see my ponytail on top of my head? The pattern of Mom's dress makes it difficult to discern but it's there. I was so embarassed! Mom said we had to document how long my hair had become.
These pics are out of order but this is the after shot. Now I look like a little boy and not a baby.
This was a pretty cool joint! There were lots of train tables to play with and I got to watch Elmo on a flat screen TV while the pretty lady cut my hair. All the kids before me were crying during their haircuts but I thought it was awesome. As soon as Mom put me in my sweet ride I started jumping up and down with excitement :) I had that fire truck rockin'!
This is me before my first official haircut. We all remember the December razor debacle...Dad gave me a non-Mommy sanctioned cut with less than desirable results. This go round was different. Mommy took me to a professional.
Photo shoots are exhausting! I'm plum tuckered out as you might be able to tell from my relaxed posture. I slept almost the entire 8 hour drive home!
Pop and I share a special bond. We have matching pinkies! Pop said only truly gifted little boys are blessed with such a pinky :) If Pop's overall aweseomeness is any indication, he's right. He caught a stone cold fox like Muzz and raised some amazing kids and grandkids. My future is bright!
Pop imparting nuggets of wisdom...
Muzzy is the best snuggler.
I'm pooped from a long day of playing! Muzz and Pop are hard to keep up with!
Here's uncle Kyler and his beautiful girlfriend. They're teething too!
My aunties worked really hard to raise funds for Freedom 424 with the Run 4 Their Lives race. They did an amzing job! Dad, Mom and I did it together :)
Here's me and Mommy after the 5k. She pushed me the whole way. She's been meaning to talk to my aunties about the hilly course...Anyway, the race ended at Scott Stadium, home of the Cavaliers. Dad said that I would be back to claim victory in about 18 years. I'm not sure what he's talking about yet.
Here's me and my Dad on Father's Day. My shirt says "My Dad is my Hero" and boy is that true. Did I mention that my first word was "Dad"? Every time he comes home I dance with excitement and leap from Mommy's arms into his. Mommy said she's too busy enjoying the break to be offended :)

July-November pics

Here I am at Nonni and Papa's for Thanksgiving. If only I had teeth...

Here I am all decked out for a Hokie game! Dad bought me the sweet booties 7 years ago! He knew I'd be here some day :)
Notice the resemblance. This is the cake my Daddy made for one of Mommy's baby showers. Dad's pretty handy :)
Don't call CPS...I actually enjoyed this! Daddy hollowed out a pumpkin for me. It was only fitting since they call me Punkin' :) Sweet Halloween costume, huh?
Me and my Mommy enjoying the beautiful view!
Mom and Dad took me to Carter Mountain to enjoy the harvest :) While overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains, the temperature dropped very quickly so Daddy put me under his shirt to share the warmth.
Cookie Monster loves bath time :)
I looked pretty dapper in my tux for my first wedding. Daddy was a groomsman so we matched :)
Check out my guns!
This is Mr. Cool! I am about 2 months old here and I'm on my first date. My girlfriend Mia was also born on July 19th!
This pic was taken the day I came home from the hospital. I fit into Daddy's baseball glove!

Hallelujah!

Praise God, we have figured out how to get all the pics and videos from my phone to the mac. My camera isn't always with me so the phone has all the good stuff on it! I will now attempt to upload a video and hopefully it doesn't involve 12 steps and a complex algorithm like last time. This new discovery could greatly increase the number of posts. Yay!

We call this 'stretchy face' for obvious reasons. This is a classic at the White House. Sooo cute!

It seems to be working so I'll add another gem before I have to run. This is called 'poop face'...also for obvious reasons. These are from when he was super tiny but we'll add some more pics and vids later to get everyone up to date.

Christmas for the Children's Hospital

This is one of my girlfriends, Christtany. She went with us to deliver the gifts. Isn't she beautiful?
Caden took a keen interest in my socks. They were pretty sweet. They are stuffed reindeer heads that rattle! Here he is trying to get a closer look at them.

My best bud Caden and I went with our Mommies and Daddies to deliver gifts to the Children's Hospital. Our parents worked really hard through the fall to raise funds for all the little ones who had to spend their holiday in the hospital. We couldn't take pictures in the hospital due to privacy laws but here we are chillin' in our Santa suits. Caden is a pro at picture taking. One day he will teach me how to strike a fierce pose.

Here is a video of my first bite of food!

My Dad and I were chillin' in the kitchen when Mom announced that it was mealtime. Dad thought it was time to eat my ears and I thought it was time to eat my bib. Turns out we were both wrong. Rice cereal is pretty bland so I don't find the flavor offensive. It's the texture that will take some getting used to. Mom says that it makes her a little sad that I no longer rely solely on her to sustain me. Dad says he's convinced that cereal's addition to my diet will cause me to grow exponentially. I say yum! The video of my first feeding is not uploading properly so Mom will try it again tomorrow.

Mommy is a horrible blogger. There. I said it. Many of you have threatened her with bodily harm if she does not update this, my only connection to my loved ones at a distance. Here's the plan of attack. Mommy will pull herself out from under the piles of pics and shame to post the latest and greatest and back fill at a later time. Sound good? I'm off to bathe because I am rather covered in rice cereal at the moment. Video of this momentous first will be posted later today. Mommy promises.
