Well, let me be the first to tell you that A LOT has happened since then. But since this isn&#8217;t meant to be a novel, I&#8217;ll just go over the highlights for you!

We realize that our last post was when I was 11 months old, so we&#8217;re sorry about that. Well, let me be the first to tell you that A LOT has happened since then. But since this isn&#8217;t meant to be a novel, I&#8217;ll just go over the highlights for you!</p>
<p>Just about two weeks before <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157622436483659/">I turned the big 0-1</a> I took my first step. Actually, I never stopped at one step - I just kept going and I haven&#8217;t looked back yet. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwwk29YYu3U">Click here for some video of those monumental first steps.</a> The weekend before my actual first birthday, Mommy and Daddy threw me a small party with our family. It was loads of fun; <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/4001129500" title="View 'DSC04144' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2484/4001129500_570b42f2e9_m.jpg" alt="DSC04144" border="0" width="240" height="180" style="margin-right: 10px; float: right;" /></a>it was full of great presents, cute clothes, great food and, of course, yummy cake! At first I wasn&#8217;t too sure of this cake thing but after the first initial intake of sugar I was sold! Later in the week, Aunt Kelly, Uncle Ken, Kait and Kevin stopped by to wish me a happy birthday and brought birthday cupcakes; by this time I was a pro so I didn&#8217;t hesitate and I dove right into it!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9pao5AUqq0"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/I9pao5AUqq0/default.jpg" width="130" height="97" border=0></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/3447450361" title="View 'IMG_4592' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3633/3447450361_d63289b3b8_m.jpg" alt="IMG_4592" border="0" width="240" height="160" style="margin-right: 10px; float: left;" /></a>This Spring I also participated at my first <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157616789505349/">Easter egg hunt</a> at Great Grammy&#8217;s house. Maisie, Maddux, Julianna and I went around her big backyard picking up and sharing the Easter eggs - I got really good at picking the eggs up and putting them in my basket.</p>
<p>This past May I was in Kaitlin and Kevin&#8217;s wedding that took place down in Rehobeth Beach. I had a great time getting dressed up and I did my best to walk down the aisle (with Mommy&#8217;s help.) <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/4000375149" title="View 'DSC04159' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3530/4000375149_d4eb1c0737_m.jpg" alt="DSC04159" border="0" width="180" height="240" style="margin-right: 10px; float: right;" /></a>Mommy and Daddy don&#8217;t have any pictures from that day because Mommy was tending to me and Daddy was busy videotaping the event, but we do have some pics of me <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157622436527481/">at the beach and trying on my dress</a>! (I think Grammy and Pop-Pop have pictures but we keep on forgetting to get them from them!)</p>
<p>Over the summer, Daddy and Mommy took me to <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157622446006935/">feed the geese</a> and I had a blast! Although, I would get mad at geese because they would let me chase them, but they would never chase me! I also got to go to <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157622436544217/">Musikfest</a> twice this year. The first time was with Aunt Anne, Uncle Jon, Julianna, Stephen and Cindy and Julianna and I <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPrBgTL7cEQ">had a great time dancing to the music!</a> People would say that we were the opening act for the bands because they were so entertained by us running around and laughing! The second time was with Aunt Alex who bought me ice cream, and that alone made it a great time!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/4000393777" title="View 'DSC04185' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2619/4000393777_54fbcedf13_m.jpg" alt="DSC04185" border="0" width="240" height="180" style="margin-right: 10px; float: left;" /></a>Around the time of Musikfest the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157622436589523/">twins came to visit</a>, it was the last time they&#8217;d get up here before their little brother, Parker was born. (Side note: Parker Jeffrey was born on September 29th and he is the cutest thing ever! We&#8217;re going to visit him in two weekends and I&#8217;m <em>very</em> excited!) Aunt Aimee&#8217;s parents had a picnic at their place and I got to play with Maisie and Maddux and their other cousin, Addison. We had so much fun, especially when Uncle Jeff turned on the sprinkler!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/4001200618" title="View 'DSC04209' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3426/4001200618_9078e2d958_m.jpg" alt="DSC04209" border="0" width="240" height="180" style="margin-right: 10px; float: right;" /></a>Since I&#8217;m 20 months old, I&#8217;m as curious as ever. I am constantly taking things a part and trying to put them back together. I also love to mimic Mommy and Daddy cooking; I can whip up some amazing things in my little kitchen! I can say some phrases such as &#8220;Hi Momma,&#8221; &#8220;Hi Dadda,&#8221; &#8220;Oh NOOOOOOOO!&#8221; &#8220;Here ya go!&#8221; &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BFNE2NZC0g">1-2-3 Go</a>&#8221; and simple words like &#8220;ball&#8221; &#8220;banana&#8221; (technically, I say &#8220;nana&#8221; for banana) &#8220;yes&#8221; &#8220;no&#8221; &#8220;Pop-Pop&#8221; &#8220;bye bye&#8221; &#8220;diaper&#8221; &#8220;potty&#8221; &#8220;bath&#8221; &#8220;Grammy&#8221; (which I say &#8220;mamy&#8221; but it&#8217;s getting there!) My favorite past time is putting pants on my head and throwing a ball. My dogs are my best friends, although they don&#8217;t know it and they act like they can&#8217;t get away from me fast enough, but I know that that&#8217;s just an act and it doesn&#8217;t stop me from trying to hug them.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/4001233022" title="View 'DSC04221' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2503/4001233022_ccc3ccb262_m.jpg" alt="DSC04221" border="0" width="240" height="180" style="margin-right: 10px; float: left;" /></a>When I turned 18 months Daddy and Mommy introduced me to an interesting concept, that of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157622561288066/">the potty</a>. It took me awhile to grasp the concept and I&#8217;m still trying to understand it. When Mommy asks me if I went to the bathroom I usually answer with the truth (by saying &#8220;yes&#8221; or &#8220;no&#8221;) but I still don&#8217;t get that I have to go on the potty. My favorite thing to do is sit on the potty and clap and smile and say &#8220;yaaaaaay!&#8221; but the second I feel like I have to go I get up, take two steps and pee on the carpet. It&#8217;s a work in progress, but we&#8217;ll get it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/3999785934" title="View 'IMG_6729' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3999785934_705c098acb_m.jpg" alt="IMG_6729" border="0" width="240" height="160" style="margin-right: 10px; float: right;" /></a>Today we went with Aunt Anne, Julianna, Christine, Aunt Agnes and Grammy to a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157622434224475/">pumpkin patch</a> and Julianna and I had so much fun! We ran around a maze, looked at farm animals, posed for pictures and picked out pumpkins. It was a great fall day!</p>
<p>Right now, I&#8217;m enjoying myself and this world around me. I love <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157622446063645/">going to the playground</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157622436660723/">being outside</a>, riding my bike, and playing with my little kitchen. I&#8217;m also enjoying being an only child because come this Christmas I&#8217;ll have a little sister that I&#8217;m going to have to deal with. I honestly don&#8217;t know what that means: Mommy keeps on telling me to get off the baby whenever I try to climb onto her belly, I just look at her and smile and get down. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/4000459087" title="View 'DSC04246' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2466/4000459087_1f3fb9c544_m.jpg" alt="DSC04246" border="0" width="180" height="240" style="margin-right: 10px; float: left;"/></a>Seriously, sometimes Mommy says the weirdest things!</p>
<p>So, with that in mind, Mommy and Daddy wanted me to let everyone know that by Christmas this site will be changing. The new site will be dedicated to our growing family and even the address will be different but don&#8217;t worry, Daddy will let everyone know the new address when the switch happens, but until then, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/">Daddy&#8217;s flickr account</a> always has the latest pictures.</p>
<p>Well, those are the highlights. We hope to keep this more up-to-date but bare with us over the next few months while we prepare for this baby everyone keeps talking about! Hope everyone is well!</p>

We&#8217;re sorry that we skipped last month, but factoring in the chaos the holidays bring along, we&#8217;re sure you&#8217;ll all forgive us.</p>
<p>As you can imagine a lot has happened in these past two months so its best to start where we last left off.  I celebrated my first Thanksgiving at Grammy Wukitch&#8217;s and Grammy DeLabar&#8217;s - I had a lot of yummy food and Mommy and Daddy decided that it was time to start me on regular table food and I haven&#8217;t looked back yet!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/3197226909" title="View 'DSC04024' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3374/3197226909_aa3b218fde_m.jpg" alt="DSC04024" border="0" width="240" height="180" style="margin-left: 20px; float: right;"/></a>At the end of November I started to stand really well unassisted and even started to stand up by myself without holding on to anything.  I&#8217;ve been playing a lot of new games with everyone; I&#8217;ve perfected the &#8220;climb up the stairs without anyone noticing&#8221; game and I have been working on rolling a ball back to you. I find it easier to just hold on to it while crawling to you and just handing it over, but Mommy insists that I roll it back (I don&#8217;t see a difference.) I&#8217;m also starting to get the whole &#8220;Let&#8217;s put our toys away&#8221; game. I&#8217;ve gotten really good at putting things &#8220;away&#8221; even if they don&#8217;t belong where I put them,  ie- phone in the play cookie jar.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/3197633731" title="View 'IMG_3330' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3468/3197633731_c45ba4c4b2_m.jpg" alt="IMG_3330" border="0" width="240" height="160" style="margin-right: 10px; float: left;" /></a>The first weekend in December, we all went waaaaaaay up north to find a Christmas tree.  We drove all the way up over Blue Mountain to find a tree farm with trees big and fat enough for Mommy&#8217;s taste (and take up at least a quarter of the front room).  We went with Grammy and Pop-pop Wukitch, Great Aunt Anne and Great Uncle Barry, and David and Heather.  I got to ride around in a backpack, it was cold, but a lot of fun!  At first I was a little afraid of the tree when Daddy brought it in, but I got used to it, and after that I had a great time taking off the tinsel and ornaments.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/3198453016" title="View 'DSC04038' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3388/3198453016_49828c2495_m.jpg" alt="DSC04038" border="0" width="240" height="180" style="margin-left: 10px; float: right;"/></a>In the middle of December I impressed my parents by taking a spoon full of food and eating off of it the way big people do. They tried to capture it on film but I felt like being shy then so I just smiled and threw the spoon, and food, over my shoulder. I also have been taking a few steps here and there. My first official step was on December 15th. I &#8220;walked&#8221; from my play table to the sofa where Grammy Wukitch was sitting. Since then I&#8217;ve taken a couple together, but nothing that anyone really considers &#8220;walking.&#8221; Although I do have the climbing and catapulting myself onto the sofa down pat. If there is anything remotely steady enough for me to climb onto (my little chair, my activity table, one of the dogs, etc.) I will try to climb onto it and use it to reach something higher up. Daddy swears I have monkey in me. :)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/3198457294" title="View 'DSC04044' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3501/3198457294_ea18dca168_m.jpg" alt="DSC04044" border="0" width="240" height="180" style="margin-right: 20px; float: left;" /></a>My first Christmas was magical and so much fun. We went to a lot of parties and I even got to meet Santa Claus. Mommy took me over to see him at Cousin David&#8217;s house and he gave me a present, to which I replied with a great big smile, but that by no means meant that I wanted him to hold me. I let everyone know about my feelings as soon I felt my mom shift my weight closer to him. Luckily for everyone in the room, my mom heard the sound of my deep <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/3198463427" title="View 'HDR' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3428/3198463427_1b2ef60813_m.jpg" alt="HDR" border="0" width="240" height="160" style="margin-left: 10px; float: right;"/></a>intake of air as I got ready to voice my opinion and decided that I have had enough and took me back upstairs to the rest of the party. The following weekend we were back at David&#8217;s house to make the famous pierogies for Christmas Eve dinner. I was very honored and happy to accept my new role of official taste tester. The pierogies were delicious (even though David was experimenting with the recipe) and I had a lot of fun watching everyone pitch in to make them. I can&#8217;t wait until I can help!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/3198514373" title="View 'IMG_3884' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3400/3198514373_80e190e51f_m.jpg" alt="IMG_3884" border="0" width="240" height="160" style="margin-right: 10px; float: left;"/></a>Other than that, I really liked seeing everyone and because of all the practice I got really good at opening presents. I had a lot of fun Christmas Eve at Great Grammy Siekonic&#8217;s, I got to play with Maisie, Maddux and Julianna. Christmas morning was even better; even though I had no idea what was going on when Mommy carried me into our front room with the Christmas tree and all the presents I had a huge smile on my face. Mommy made cinnamon buns from scratch and Grammy and Grandpop DeLabar came over for breakfast, it was a lot of fun. Later in the day we went over to Grammy Wukitch&#8217;s to see everyone and then we ended the day at Nanna&#8217;s house.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/3199384442" title="View 'DSC04108' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3085/3199384442_649840c0b7_m.jpg" alt="DSC04108" border="0" width="240" height="180" style="margin-left: 20px; float: right;" /></a>I don&#8217;t understand the New Year&#8217;s holiday. Why anyone would want to stay up until all hours of the night is beyond me. Mommy and Daddy went to Kelly&#8217;s house and although I was there, I did not stay up until midnight like the rest of them. However, I was woken up by the sound of fireworks from their neighbors, just like Santa, I let everyone know how I felt about that. Thankfully, we were home and in our own beds by 12:30am so no real harm done.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/3199552326" title="View 'IMG_3918' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3469/3199552326_7baa129096_m.jpg" alt="IMG_3918" border="0" width="240" height="160" style="margin-right: 10px; float: left;" /></a>The days since New Year&#8217;s have been pretty low key. I&#8217;m having a blast playing with all my new toys.  Most of them came with little balls, so I have fun throwing balls around and pressing all the buttons on the toys at once so its a constant stream of noise. I can&#8217;t tell if Mommy enjoys it as much as I do though.</p>
<p>Well, that&#8217;s about it. Next month I&#8217;m turning one and I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;ll be here in a few short weeks. It seems like only yesterday I was just this little bundle that just slept all day. Now I&#8217;m an energetic monkey that lives for goldfish crackers and loves to torment the dogs.</p>

<p>But first things first. I got a little curious after my 8 month birthday and decided that I was old enough to go around touching things Mommy and Daddy told me not to. I thought that grabbing onto a hot radiator pipe would be the best thing for me to do. Needless to say, Mommy and Daddy are now pros at medicating and bandaging a screaming infant&#8217;s hand. Whoops! (It took about a week to heal fully and I now know the meaning of &#8220;hot&#8221;)</p>
<p><a title="View 'DSC03893-1' on Flickr.com" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/3036594012"><img style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3183/3036594012_c9001c4f9f_m.jpg" border="0" alt="DSC03893-1" width="160" height="240" /></a>I also got to go to <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157609241466265/">my very first pumpkin patch</a>, well, it wasn&#8217;t really a pumpkin patch because the real ones were closed on a Friday, but Grammy Wukitch and Mommy took me to Strawberry Acres to pick a couple of pumpkins. Most of them were bigger than me!! I had so much fun and I loved trying to stand up while holding onto them. I can&#8217;t wait till next year when I can pick out my own pumpkin.</p>
<p>On October 19th, Mommy&#8217;s family went over to Great Grammy Siekonic&#8217;s to celebrate <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157609238746369/">Great Pop-Pop&#8217;s 95th birthday party</a>. I had a lot of fun getting sympathy hugs and kisses from everyone because of my hand! Later that week I took part in my first Halloween Parade, although it was very cold so all you could see were my eyes poking out from underneath my 7 layers of clothes and blankets. (that and I fell asleep only 10 minutes into it, so I really didn&#8217;t take in much, although I was on tv!) I also got to help Mommy and Daddy hand out trick or treat candy to all the kids. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157609242130023/">Mommy dressed me up in a kangaroo costume</a> that even had a baby kangaroo in the pouch. That was fun, after all the candy was given out we visited Grammy and Pop Pop Wukitch and Grammy and Grandpop DeLabar.</p>
<p><a title="View 'DSC03920' on Flickr.com" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/3036717384"><img style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3051/3036717384_ae69faa580_m.jpg" border="0" alt="DSC03920" width="240" height="180" /></a>I&#8217;ve also <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157609242813731/">started to do a lot more this month</a>. If you ask me how big I am, I raise my hands above my head and give you a really big smile; most times I follow this by clapping. In the beginning of my ninth month I figured out how to sit from a standing position which makes it easier for me to get around and get into things now. I know how to dance and just last week I mastered the bouncing while sitting to groove to my favorite Sesame Street songs. I&#8217;ve been cruising the furniture and just last night I stood up by myself without grabbing onto furniture, parents or dogs to do it!</p>
<p>In all of this, I think my biggest accomplishment and the one that I am most proud of is when I climb the steps. Mommy and Daddy are usually there but I think its more fun when I do it without them knowing about it - I usually get further too. I hear them talking about gates, so I may have to be sneakier about my attempts in the future. I also like to push my push toy around and walk, although, most of the time I get down to crawl because it still my fastest way to travel.</p>
<p><a title="View 'DSC03910' on Flickr.com" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/3036708448"><img style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3283/3036708448_541a1656f0_m.jpg" border="0" alt="DSC03910" width="240" height="180" /></a>I&#8217;ve been eating a lot more real food, as well. Each day Mommy gives me bannanas and grapes to eat and I love them. Daddy is a little more daring with the variety of foods he gives me. (Mommy isn&#8217;t always happy about it but I have my own special way of telling Daddy when things are a little too much for me to handle! For instance, last weekend at Nana&#8217;s house when they were eating ravioli and Daddy thought that ravioli, baby food, veggies and a bottle was just the right amount of food&#8230;I let him, and everyone else, know otherwise!)</p>
<p><a title="View 'DSC03879-1' on Flickr.com" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/3036676682"><img style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3181/3036676682_982ca88bb1_m.jpg" border="0" alt="DSC03879-1" width="160" height="240" /></a>This past Friday night we visited Aunt Anne and Uncle Jon and Julianna. It was so much fun, but here again, Mommy and Daddy gave me too many carrots throughout the day and it culminated at their house. So I need to take a moment and apologize for spitting up all over their couch, floor, table&#8230;etc. But I did have a lot of fun playing with Julianna and Mommy and Daddy have noticed a noticeable increase in my jabbering and &#8220;talking.&#8221; I also fine tuned my waving &#8220;hi&#8221; and &#8220;bye.&#8221; Instead of waving a stiff arm up and down, I extend my arm and move the wrist and fingers up and down. So next time you see me, watch out, I&#8217;ll wave hello to you and probaby won&#8217;t stop until we&#8217;re ready to leave!</p>

<p>Stay tuned for the next month&#8217;s entry. I&#8217;m really excited to experience my first Thanksgiving and Christmas. There are so many plans ahead of us and I&#8217;m looking forward to learning about all of the traditions, even though I won&#8217;t remember any of it! Also, I&#8217;m trying to stand by myself, so there is a good chance that I may be trying to walk by Christmas. Keep your fingers crossed for me and keep Mommy and Daddy in your prayers! hahahaha!</p>

I have been having so much fun over this past month! The month started off really great! <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157607519686068/">We visited Uncle Jeff, Aunt Aimee, Maisie and Maddux in Baltimore</a>! We went down for the weekend and I had a blast playing with my cousins. I went to the zoo for the first time ever! <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/2890791626/in/set-72157607519686068/">I fell asleep half way through it</a>, but when I was awake I had a ball. I loved <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/2890802554/in/set-72157607519686068/">playing with Maisie and Maddux</a>, they were very friendly and shared their toys with me. I can&#8217;t wait to see them this Thanksgiving and I definately can&#8217;t wait when I can run around with them.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/2915288989" title="View 'DSC03771' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3105/2915288989_2dcb1f0b10_m.jpg" alt="DSC03771" border="0" width="240" height="180"9311_2cf945e4d5_m.jpg" alt="DSC03798" border="0" width="240" height="180" style="float:left;margin-right:10px;" /></a>I then went to my very first Celtic Fest, where I saw Seamus Kennedy perform. Daddy took a video of Mommy and me singing to one of the songs. I was tired though, so I really wasn&#8217;t into it at the time, but I still had a good time. That night we went over to Uncle Kyle and Aunt Alex&#8217;s for dinner. I had so much fun &#8220;walking&#8221; around thier house in my walker. I got a little cranky, but I had 5 teeth coming in then so I think I have a good reason! But they loved me anyhow and they even gave me my bottle!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAaVKpD77Ew"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/zAaVKpD77Ew/default.jpg" width="130" height="97" border=0></a></p>
<p>One day when Mommy was at Curves I was watching Grammy Wukitch clap her hands and I decided that I could do it too. You can imagine Mommy&#8217;s surprise when she came home to me clapping, she was so proud! She had her digital camera handy and got a few rough seconds of me clapping. Ever since then I love to clap, especially when Daddy tosses me in the air.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEnApHzR9zo"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/tEnApHzR9zo/default.jpg" width="130" height="97" border=0></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/2942766413" title="View 'DSC03848' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3050/2942766413_158922c6c1_m.jpg" alt="DSC03848" border="0" width="240" height="180" style="float:right;margin-left:10px;" /></a>As usual, we&#8217;ve been really busy and this past week was not any different. Friday night I experienced my first Family Night fundraiser that CAST throws every year. But alas, my teeth stopped me from enjoying myself and Daddy had to take me home early, but it was nice seeing everyone again. Then on Saturday we went to Great Aunt Betty&#8217;s house for a last minute picnic. It was a lot of fun and I got to see Grammy DeLabar&#8217;s side of the family. I had so much fun! I got to play with Grammy and Grandpop DeLabar, as well as, Great Grammy and Grandpop Bushner. Grammy Bushner gave me some tiny apple pieces from Great Aunt Deanna&#8217;s cake, they were yummy!! We ended the night at &#8220;Aunt&#8221; Kelly&#8217;s and &#8220;Uncle&#8221; Ken&#8217;s house. I always like going there, I usually end up falling asleep while Mommy and Daddy play cards with them, but before I do, Kaitlin always plays with me. I can&#8217;t wait for her wedding in May!!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/2942729311" title="View 'DSC03798' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3204/2942729311_2cf945e4d5_m.jpg" alt="DSC03798" border="0" width="240" height="180" style="float:left;margin-right:10px;" /></a>I&#8217;m getting stronger with each passing day. I can easily pull myself up holding onto just about anything, tv cabinet, sofa, Mommy, the dogs. I just started to cruise the furniture. Roxie pretty much hides from me now since I&#8217;m a lot faster crawling on all fours and in the walker&#8230;well, lets just say that <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/2942725671/in/set-72157608044559947/">they should call it a &#8220;runner.&#8221;</a> Mommy and Daddy also gave me some shredded chicken to taste for the first time. I haven&#8217;t decided if I like the taste just yet, but I love feeding myself!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/2916150490" title="View 'DSC03790' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3002/2916150490_914b87f095_m.jpg" alt="DSC03790" border="0" width="240" height="180" style="float:right;margin-left:10px;"/></a>My teeth are coming in nicely. Just this past Saturday you couldn&#8217;t see all of the top four teeth, then yesterday at my doctor&#8217;s appointment you could see 4 on the top and 4 on the bottom, with 2 or 3 more coming in. The doctor was really impressed. She was also impressed with my growth and my development. I weigh 9lbs 11oz and said that if I like stage 3 foods that after a couple of weeks Mommy and Daddy can give me more table food! Halupkis here I come!!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/2943593908" title="View 'DSC03808' on Flickr.com"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3137/2943593908_d17bc4b5ef_m.jpg" alt="DSC03808" border="0" width="180" height="240" style="float:left;margin-right:10px;" /></a>Yesterday we got our pictures taken at the Rose Gardens in Allentown by Great Uncle Tom. I got a little cranky here and there but Uncle Tom was very patient. I can&#8217;t wait to see what develops! When we were there Mommy noticed that I started to bounce while standing and leaning on a bench. At first she thought I was losing my balance, but when I did it today she noticed that it was more like dancing. Then I started to shake my behind to Mommy singing and she finally realized that I have some rhythm. I love dancing to Sesame Street and the Sunny Side Up Show on the Sprout network. (That Chica is hilarious!) I clap while sitting and dance while standing! I&#8217;m also very good a mimic-ing Mommy&#8217;s voice (there is a raw video that kind of shows it) today I even &#8220;sang&#8221; back to her, she&#8217;d sing a line then I would and we went back and forth for a little.</p>
<p>Well, that&#8217;s about it, Daddy <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157607516203170/">posted a bunch of pictures</a> from <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157608044559947/">the last month</a>, so go and check those out!  He&#8217;s also working on a few more videos, so check back in a day or two for those! A lot of motor skills are developing so don&#8217;t be surprised if by Christmas I&#8217;m taking a couple of steps! I hope everyone is doing well and I will see you all next month!</p>

Sorry this is a little late but Mommy and Daddy have been busy trying to get me to sit still! The month started off great! We were very busy visiting a lot of people this month. We went and visited Adriana and Joe and I got to go swimming in their pool! I had so much fun and I can&#8217;t wait to do it again next year.</p>
<p>Daddy and his family threw Nanna a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157607332972598/">surprise 75th Birthday Party at Uncle Kyle&#8217;s</a>. Nanna was really surprised and was very happy. I was a little cranky that day because of my one fang coming in (luckily the other one just came in on the other side so now I don&#8217;t look <em>that </em>silly!) but I still had a good time. We also went to Nanna&#8217;s house a couple of times and I always have a good time there. This last time I was really a happy baby and I was giggling and bouncing and making all sorts of funny sounds for everyone. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/2863345621" title="View 'DSC03482' on Flickr.com" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3025/2863345621_e9759904ef_m.jpg" alt="DSC03482" border="0" width="180" height="240" /></a>I also went to <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157607330507946/">Julianna&#8217;s 2nd birthday party</a>. Mommy and Daddy gave me a little ice cream and I can&#8217;t wait for my birthday in February. Uncle Brian and Aunt Nicole had us and Grammy and Pop-Pop over and I really liked playing in their house. I really liked their Yorkie, Snoop. He is soooo cute. I think I like his toys better than Chrissie and Roxie&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Speaking of toys I need to give a shout out to my Uncle Brian. He sent me a soccer ball rattle and a soccer ball that I can kick around. His note said that since I started moving Mommy should start training me so I can go kicking with them. Although, for me to go with them that would entail them going themselves. So, Uncle Brian, whenever you&#8217;re free, Mommy&#8217;s ready to go.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/2864412260" title="View 'DSC03416' on Flickr.com" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3189/2864412260_dedcc52a58_m.jpg" alt="DSC03416" border="0" width="180" height="240" /></a>I also celebrated my first <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157607331867498/">Labor Day</a> with a picnic at Grammy and Pop-Pop&#8217;s. It was loads of fun. All of Mommy&#8217;s family was there (except for the Marylanders) but it was still fun. I got to spend a lot of time with &#8217;Aunt Anne&#8217; and Julianna. Mommy tried to get our pictures, but as she was trying to get us to smile, she&#8217;d let the camera drop so most of them are just of our heads! Silly Mommy! It was great to see everyone again and I can&#8217;t wait until our next family get together. </p>
<p>I have to say the biggest accomplishment for me this month is definately my crawling skills. I started &#8220;army crawling&#8221; about 2 weeks ago and let me tell you, I&#8217;m fast! Just this past week I&#8217;ve ventured onto my knees a couple of times and I&#8217;m thinking if I get that down, I&#8217;ll be even faster. Oh, and get this, this past Sunday, while Daddy was sitting on the couch and I was sitting on the floor right below him and I grabbed onto the sofa and pulled myself up to a standing position. I was so proud&#8230;Mommy couldn&#8217;t stop laughing and Daddy looked like a dear in headlights! I have a feeling Mommy won&#8217;t be laughing for long though! I can pull myself up onto my bouncer and then back off again. They should have made my middle name &#8220;daredevil&#8221; because if its dangerous I won&#8217;t stop until I try it, no matter how many times Mommy and Daddy take me away from things. If it looks interesting, I&#8217;m there - especially the tv cabinet and putting the dog&#8217;s ears in my mouth.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/2863350805" title="View 'DSC03509' on Flickr.com" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3143/2863350805_2aa25177c2_m.jpg" alt="DSC03509" border="0" width="180" height="240" /></a>On the 11th (my seventh month &#8220;birthday&#8221;) Mommy gave me a Gerber cookie and it was gooooooood! Mommy noticed that I would gum my food in my mouth when she would feed me, and with my crawling skills excelling everyday, Mommy thought that she&#8217;d let me try it and I&#8217;m glad that she did! I love those cookies so much that I cry whenever they take it away from me. I had one on Saturday night when Grammy and Grandpop came over for dinner and I got it down to two little pieces, but I kept on dropping them down into my chair, but it was ok, because I&#8217;d find them a little later and continue to knaw on them. They are some good cookies.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s about it for this month, Daddy has a lot of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157607330306114/">new pictures posted on Flickr</a>, and be sure to check out my first crawling video below, it&#8217;s a little dark and I barely move, but it was only the beginning! Also, don&#8217;t forget to go <a href="http://www.marchofdimes.com/pennsylvania/9642_31029.asp">vote for me at the Lehigh Valley Mall</a>. Voting is open until September 26th. It costs $1 and it supports the March of Dimes, a great cause. Also, Dr. Christina Lee is sponsoring it and our family owes a lot to her help. So please, go out and support this beautiful cause because babies are awesome!</p>

They are almost done with the front room and they&#8217;ve been working on the <a href="http://www.cattytheatre.org/">CAST website</a> that&#8217;s why this post is a little late. But enough about that, a lot has happened to me this <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157606880578513/">past month and a half</a>! Back in the middle of July I went to my very first CAST picnic! I had a lot of fun swimming in the pool with everybody, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/2785749168/in/set-72157606880578513/">including my best friend Bethany</a>! It was really great to see everyone again and I&#8217;m so looking forward to the start of <strong>The Music Man</strong>, auditions are coming soon, I wonder if there are any parts that are perfect for me?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/2785794558" title="View 'DSC03258' on Flickr.com" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/3141/2785794558_79ccf2f34a_m.jpg" alt="DSC03258" border="0"/></a>I also went to Uncle Kyle and Aunt Alex&#8217;s house warming party. I had a lot of fun watching Mommy and Daddy play pool and I really like their nice big fenced in yard. I can see myself running around with my future cousins there! I would have to say the biggest development for me in this past month happened when Daddy went to Florida. He left on Sunday and Monday morning I had two teeth coming in!! By Tuesday my two bottom front teeth popped up! And get this, just yesterday two more popped up!! You&#8217;d think they&#8217;d be the top two front teeth, but actually they are the teeth that would be beside the middle two. Oh well, Mommy is just hoping that those front two come in! Hopefully, they&#8217;re next. I was a little more cranky this time, but after three days I&#8217;m back to be smiling Lily.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/2784904307" title="View 'DSC03203' on Flickr.com" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3109/2784904307_8f6cfee50b_m.jpg" alt="DSC03203" border="0" width="240" height="180" /></a>Back in the beginning of August Mommy and Daddy took me to Musikfest for the first time and they didn&#8217;t bring their camera. <em>Gasp!</em> At first I didn&#8217;t know what to think about all the loud noise, I didn&#8217;t know whether to cry or dance! But after awhile I calmed down and enjoyed listening to an Irish band and later a swing band. I can&#8217;t wait to go back next year! Two weekends ago &#8220;Aunt&#8221; Anne and &#8220;Uncle&#8221; Jon brought Julianna up to visit. I had so much fun with her. It was weird at first to have someone closer to my height play with me so for the first 30 minutes I just sat and stared at her. But then I got used to her and she would give me toys to play with and it was fun! This past weekend we went to <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157606876261646/">visit Joyce and Paul at Joyce&#8217;s mom&#8217;s house</a> in Weatherly. We were supposed to go swimming, but it was too cool, so we just sat around outside and enjoyed each other&#8217;s company. This weekend we&#8217;re going to visit Adriana and Joe and the weather is going to be in the high 80&#8217;s so I think I&#8217;m going to get to go swimming. This may be the last time I get to this summer so I&#8217;m really looking forward to it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/2578938912" title="View 'Pondering life's questions' on Flickr.com" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3134/2578938912_aafc498ba8_m.jpg" alt="Pondering life's questions" border="0" width="180" height="240" /></a>That&#8217;s about it for this month and a half. Oh, and if you&#8217;re in the Lehigh Valley area <strong>September 13-26</strong> stop by the Lehigh Valley Mall and vote for me in <strong>The March of Dimes Most Beautiful Baby contest</strong> they&#8217;re having. It&#8217;s $1 to vote and it goes directly to the March of Dimes, a fantastic organization. Just look for the chubby cheeks, white hat, pink sunglasses and open mouth! Watch for the Sunday, Sept. 13th Morning Call, my picture will be in there too! I don&#8217;t care if you don&#8217;t vote for me, just vote; it&#8217;s for a terrific cause! Tell your friends!!</p>

I&#8217;ve done a lot of growing and I&#8217;ve been a lot of places in this past month! I went to two graduation parties, one for Mommy&#8217;s cousin Elizabeth and the other was for Daddy&#8217;s cousin Jessica. At <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157606112319269/">Liz&#8217;s party I got to go swimming in a big person&#8217;s pool with Mommy</a>. I loved it! I got to show off my ladybug floatie and I spent the entire time smiling in the pool. That night we stopped over at &#8216;Aunt&#8217; Kelly&#8217;s and I got to hang out with Kaitlin and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/2658672755/in/set-72157606111878659/">her friend Rachel</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/2659502724" title="View 'DSC03016' on Flickr.com" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3030/2659502724_daa1db41f9_m.jpg" alt="DSC03016" border="0" width="240" height="180" /></a>The week of the fourth I went to John and Rosie&#8217;s house to watch people from <a href="http://www.cattytheatre.org/">CAST</a> make pierogies for the North Catty J-4 celebration.  They made 75 dozen pierogies in only a few hours, so now I&#8217;m all ready to help David make them this year for Christmas Eve! But more importantly, since we got done so early, I got to swim in a pool again!! This time I got to swim with my best friend Bethany, as well as Andrea and Linda from CAST.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/2659646026" title="View 'DSC03046' on Flickr.com" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3094/2659646026_9d8049c1d0_m.jpg" alt="DSC03046" border="0" width="240" height="180" /></a>On July 3rd we left for our very first family vacation and it was my very first time at the shore. &#8216;Aunt&#8217; Kelly and &#8216;Uncle&#8217; Ken invited us to visit them down at <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/sets/72157606109349762/">Rehobeth Beach</a> while they stayed at The Melbourne Inn. I had a blast! I loved to sit on Sandy&#8217;s (the owner&#8217;s) front porch and watch the people walk to the boardwalk. On Friday and Saturday Mommy and Daddy took me to the beach. At first I didn&#8217;t know what to think about this whole ocean and sand thing, but after awhile I became fascinated with it and I couldn&#8217;t take my eyes off of the crashing waves. Mommy, Daddy, &#8216;Aunt&#8217; Kelly and &#8216;Uncle&#8217; Ken also learned to keep their drinks away from me. I loved trying to reach for their margarita glasses <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/2659634706" title="View 'DSC03027' on Flickr.com" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3270/2659634706_94179023c4_m.jpg" alt="DSC03027" border="0" width="240" height="180" /></a>but Mommy said I had to wait another 20 years and six months in order to try it. To keep me busy &#8216;Aunt&#8217; Kelly bought me my first sippy cup that Mommy put water in and I loved it. Although most of it ended up on me! Oh well! We also watched the fireworks from the beach and I loved watching all the pretty colors and designs in the sky. Our last night there, Mommy, Daddy and I rode on the carousel. At first I sat on a horsey, but Mommy thought I wouldn&#8217;t like it so we all sat on one of the benches, but I still had a lot of fun! I didn&#8217;t like the fact that we had to leave and cried most of the way home on Sunday and even most of Monday. After watching all those people at the beach, only having Mommy to look at on Monday wasn&#8217;t fun!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/2658852815" title="View 'DSC03096' on Flickr.com" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3269/2658852815_4198990240_m.jpg" alt="DSC03096" border="0" width="180" height="240" /></a>I also started eating fruits. Every morning I have some fruit with my cereal, this week was bananas and I looooooove them! I can&#8217;t wait to try pears next week. This coming Monday is also my five month check up with the doctors. Mommy and Daddy are curious to see how much I weigh and how long I am. I love to roll over to my left and I&#8217;m just starting to go to my right. But what I really love to do is to stand in my saucer and bounce up and down while playing with my toys. I don&#8217;t like to sit or lay down for a long time so when I get gretzy Mommy and Daddy put me in my saucer and I&#8217;m as happy as I can be.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s about it for this post. Don&#8217;t forget to check out the pictures and videos from all my adventures in the past month. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer just as much as I am! I have to get going now, it&#8217;s dinner time and then off to the Northampton Community Days carnival and more fireworks!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/2573699145" title="View 'Uncle Kyle and Lily at Doug's Birthday Party' on Flickr.com" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3161/2573699145_02137dfd26_m.jpg" alt="Uncle Kyle and Lily at Doug's Birthday Party" border="0" width="180" height="240" /></a>Yesterday I turned 4-months old!  It has definitely been a very busy month!  Two weeks ago I had my &#8220;4-month&#8221; check-up at the doctors office.  I weighed 15 lbs. 6 oz. as much as a five-and-a-half-month-old, and I was 26 inches long, as much as a six-month-old!  The doctor didn&#8217;t even believe it!</p>
<p>Since I&#8217;m growing so big the doctor said it was time for some solid foods.  So, Mommy and Daddy went out to the store to look at the baby food.  They stood there for a while, and even called Grammy Wukitch to find out what they should get!  Eventually they settled on some rice cereal and we went home.  The next day Mommy and Daddy attempted to give me the cereal, I liked it, but they made it too soupy so <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/2574520924/in/set-72157605579783116/">it wouldn&#8217;t stay in my mouth</a>, so they just diluted it some more and I drank it.  The next day they got it right, and I actually ate it with a spoon!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/2573717555" title="View 'Yummy Carrots!' on Flickr.com" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3032/2573717555_3711499e0c_m.jpg" alt="Yummy Carrots!" border="0" width="180" height="240" /></a>After a few days Mommy and I went out while Daddy was at work and got some veggies.  We bought some squash and some carrots, and tried the squash that night.  I wasn&#8217;t sure at first, but eventually I decided that it was pretty good and ate the entire bowl!  I tried the carrots this week, I think they&#8217;re better than the squash, and I&#8217;m getting a lot better at this eating thing.  (As soon as I figured out that I needed to close my mouth after Mommy and Daddy put the food in it got a lot easier!)  After our second carrot experience I had <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericdelabar/2574541896/in/set-72157605579783116/">a bath in the sink</a> since I was completely orange from head to toe!</p>
<p>Two weekends ago my cousins Maisie and Maddux were up to visit for their first birthday.  We had a lot of fun at their party and Mommy and Daddy took a ton of pictures.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m also getting ready to become mobile!  I am soooo close to rolling over, Mommy and Daddy are sure I&#8217;ll have it in a few days.  When I&#8217;m on my tummy I also kick my feet and move my arms, I&#8217;ll be crawling pretty soon and then Mommy and Daddy are in for it!  Grammy DeLabar says I&#8217;m teething, she can feel the tooth, and I do like to chew on everything, especially frozen things!  (I even snuck a lick of Mommy&#8217;s fudgicle!  It was delicious!)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25275269@N00/2574534442" title="View 'Little Swimmer!' on Flickr.com" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3031/2574534442_94699f7f0b_m.jpg" alt="Little Swimmer!" border="0" width="240" height="180" /></a>The last two weeks it has been very hot, so hot that last weekend Daddy went out and bought a pool for Mommy and me, and a ladybug floater for me.  I love it!  Mommy put me in it on Monday and I scooted all around the pool.  Mommy was very surprised.  She even got the video camera out on Wednesday, but I wasn&#8217;t moving around too much so it&#8217;s not very exciting.  I was pretty tired and all I wanted to do was chew on my ladybug!</p>
<p>Well, that&#8217;s it for now!  Daddy put up some new photos in the gallery section and the post before this one has two new videos to look at.  Mommy and Daddy are pretty busy so who knows if they&#8217;ll get to update before I&#8217;m five-months-old but they&#8217;ll try!  If they don&#8217;t, next time we&#8217;ll have stories about my first trip to the beach!</p>
