Dirty Byrd

We took a trip home to Tennessee last week. I had a great time playing in the mud and trying to eat wood chips (Mom is thankful I've realized I can spit out what I don't want to swallow).

Mama?

I'm just gonna go ahead and sleep now, ok?

Sunday at the Park

Mom dressed me up in my Christmas dress for some pictures in the park. Those silly Floridians told her I needed a hat on because here, 70 degrees is cold!

Fort DeSoto

Mommy and Daddy wanted a family picture so we went to the Fort DeSoto State Park and took this one out on the pier. I loved watching the birds fly overhead.

Peek a Boo!

Go avay wiz you!

I am teachink Cody how to make ze art! There can be no deestractshons!

Grandma Peggy and I...

We're in cahoots.

I love Fridge Magnets!

You pull them off, then put them on, then throw then on the floor and then stick them back on the fridge. The fun never ends!

10 Months Old Today!

And my goal is to climb into Spencer's chair. (Mommy note: at the time of posting this, she had finagled her way into and was standing up on it. Sigh.)

Thanks Sea Tac Airport!

For such a fun place to play while Mommy and I waited 4 hours for our airplane ride.

In PHX.

Boarding. Tired.

Look Out!

These roads are icy and I'm possibly the only sane driver out today!

Unka J

What's that sniffing in my ear? Oh, it's Uncle Jason that I hear!

Farm-like Girls

This is my friend Thea Gillespie. She taught me in just a few minutes that girls can drive tractors, too!

Director of Dishwashing

The automatic dishwasher is quite the contraption. I usually supervise the cleaning of dishes from my sling while my mom hand washes. The hand holds and climbing opportunity makes this kind of chore very fun for me!

Great Grandma Pearl Halmrast

Nobody noticed but she secretly whispered the recipe to her old fashioned lefse to me. I hold the key to happiness now.

Great Grandpa Lloyd Halmrast

We had a good time. He made sure I know that I should floss daily and to always remember to check the oil in my car. Dude, where's my car? I didn't know I had a car!

Bed Head

How do y'all like my Alfalfa do? Mom's impressed with how much hair I'm growing these days.

9 Months Old Today!

And I got my hair "did" at Grandma Peggy's!

Hanging with Mom

Making lunch and out for an afternoon walk.

Prune Face

I've got an unmentionable condition for which my mom's been feeding me prunes. They're pretty tasty, I guess.

Tug of War

Muffin and me playing tug of war with one of my socks. I laughed and laughed.

Christmas Tree Supervisor

Hey all! I'm busy right now making sure Grandma Karen and Auntie Deanna are getting the tree properly positioned and set up.

Grandpa's Girl

My friend Kira

This is my friend Kira and her mommy, Nancy. We took a stroller ride, ate Vietnamese soup, and read some books. Good times.

Pat-a-Cake

I started clapping the day after we visited with Kira and Nancy. Now I just love to play Pat-a-cake, especially with my Great Aunt Jeanette because she turns me upside down when we "throw it in the oven". I love being upside down.

Rite of Passage

Having a bath in the kitchen sink.

Grinning from Ear to Ear

Mommy and I are having so much fun in Washington. Here's a picture of me with my Grandma Karen. She made a killer cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving that tasted really good mixed with my sweet potatoes!

Puppy Love

This is Muffin. She's my new friend but she mostly has to stay outside when I'm around because she tries to herd me. I'm uncooperative. There will be a video post on that later in the week.

My New Hat

Like it? Mom had it made especially for me at Jens and Jewels on Etsy.com. It's soft and warm and best of all...not pink!!! My dad appreciates that part.

Ahhhhh....

it's still those lazy, hazy, crazy days of...November?

Daddy told Mommy that she was slacking off on my picture blog so we took these today while I was playing in the grass at Boyd Hill. Crispy brown leaves are my new favorite taste sensation.

8 Months Old Today!

Hi! My name is Byrdie and I like pulling myself up, climbing on things, being turned upside down by Daddy, and Mama's milk, but I especially like plastic grocery bags, electrical cords and most kinds of paper.

Happy Birthday Uncle Jason!

We're having a party for ya and I'm the DJ!
