11-month day pictures but one day late so I could get some sunlight for better photos. Poor baby just didn't want to take monthly photos today. He really wanted to peel off the sticker, though.

We spend a lot of time trying to get Abram to keep hoods and hats on his head. Now he thinks everything should go on his head and that it's hilarious.

Wasn't on purpose, but now you can picture Abram with red curls. Geez, how pale am I?

Abram has his first baseball cap just in time for Spring Training! Go Cards!

These are the best jammies - covered in greyhounds!

Abram is very skilled at dumping out the dog bowls. (See the new pantry door? Oooh lala.)

Abram says "Happy Valentine's Day"!
It wasn't easy getting a decent Valentine's Day photo. All Abram wanted to do was rip off his hat.

Adrian is reading Abram the valentine he got from his aunt and his new "Peek-a-Boo" book.

We thought Abram may be teeting again. We will see if tooth #5 arrives any time soon.

Abram loves that he can turn the light on and off with the remote in the living room.

Another early morning photo. When he's asleep he still looks a bit like the tiny baby he used to be.

This was Abram's first time in the snow. I didn't have a proper snowsuit or any boots. He was not thrilled.

Our morning routine: Abram wakes up between 4 and 5 a.m. Go to the couch for a bottle, fall back asleep.

He looks overjoyed to be standing up on the couch, doesn't he?

I am so proud of Abram! He was eager to get in the pool today and show off what we practiced at home - kicking! After 4 swimming lessons of moving Abram's legs for him, he figured out what "kick" means and has been kicking in the tub and while sitting on the carpet. Check out his "kicking practice" from february 4th to see the "dry run".

Next we'll be working on putting ears in the water - he squirms and whines when it's time to lay on his back.

Definitely walking on his own now, and he's loving it.

Abram gave his bedtime story a kiss goodnight.

february 2, 2010

I think he's looking quite mischievious here. He knows he gets in trouble for climbing on the fireplace, so he keeps turning around and giggling.

Today Abram tried on his birthday outfit. I want him to coordinate with his sock monkey so I think I found a pretty good match, but I want a colored shirt to wear under the overalls. I also need to create a #1 patch for the bib. Off to Michael's for some felt!

Abram went to church today to see Grandma and Grandpa. I think his favorite part was the pancakes at IHOP afterward.

Later, Abram made a pretty picture with Mom's grading markers.
