Uncle Alex's (second) Visit to Chicago

So, Uncle Alex got a cheap flight in to Chicago and came in a few weeks back. I've been so busy learning to crawl, that I almost forgot to update the blog! Anyway, here's some pics of his visit:

Here's me and Uncle Alex getting ready for the Texas game

(note: we got Uncle A to wear burnt Orange)
Here's us at the park:

And us trying on the outfit from my great-godmother, Barb

Of, course, I didn't want to leave Mommy & Daddy out. Here's us after bath time. Mommy says I'm much happier "sans" clothing!

Trip to Arizona

A few weeks ago, Mommy, Daddy, & me met up with Grandma at the Boulders Resort in Scotsdale, Arizona (New state alert: 8th State I've been to). We went because of Daddy's company meeting. Here's a few pics of the me and the desert.

My first Halloween

Yesterday was Halloween, and I figured I'd dress up as Colt McCoy, Quarterback for the Texas Longhorns. Problem was, Mommy had already bought a spider costume, so I was out of luck. Regardless, I still made the best of Halloween.

Here's Me and Mommy next to all the ghosts and goblins:

Me showing off all 8 legs

My and my buddy Colin. (He's little red devil) But seriously, after all that trick o' treating we did, I was beat.

My first taste of food, and first TX/OU win

Today was going to be a very busy day for me. I had to watch GameDay followed by the Texas / OU Red River Shoot Out, followed by a trip to Whole Foods to buy me my first (non-breastmilk) meal.

In order to gear up for the occasion, Daddy and I put on our Texas gear and had a few rounds of wrestling on the bed (I let him win):

Then, we watched a heck of a game. Texas won 45 to 35 in a very exciting game. For the record, since I've been born, Texas has been undefeated. I plan on maintaining that record as long as possible.

After all that excitement, I earned my just reward. My very first meal of real food! Rice cereal, which ... well, I'll just let you all decide if I liked it. But, if you ask Daddy, he thinks this is the beginning of a "Laves-like" love/hate relationship with food. Mommy recorded the experience for all to view:

Trip to San Diego

The other weekend, Mommy & Daddy took me to California (my 7th state!) so I could help celebrate my good friends Ted & Sarah tie the knot.

Here's Mommy and I in the plane:
Because the weather is always so great in SD, we took advantage of everything. We walked just about everywhere Here's the family in the Gaslamp district:

Here's me and Michele chillin in the park:Of course, all that walking made me tired:
Mommy's Godmother, Barb, drove down to meet me from LA. She's so cool. She took a bunch of pictures of me, but here's one I got of her. As you can see, I'm completely enamored by the California 'female' scene.

Texas vs. Arkansas

This past weekend was the Texas / Arkansas game. It was probably the first real competition we had this year, so I was really excited and nervous. Dad and I had to make sure we were fully prepared:
However, with all this nervous energy, we decided to walk with Mommy to the park, and blow off some steam on the swings:
On a whim, I decided to phone my buddy Colin to see if he wanted to check out the 'park scene' with me. His mom, Shannon, and he walked down and met us. I made sure Dad got a picture of them as well.

As you can see, being outside, is definitely my thing. Must be the fresh air, the smell of the lake, ... or maybe it was my really cool outfit! If you are so inclined, check out this short clip of me in the swing:

September Pics

September was a busy month for me.

Bebe visited and we went to the playground swings:

Unfortunately, Bebe brought the rain from Hurricane Ike, so Mommy and I got prepared accordingly:

Although, with all that rain, we did have to stay inside a bit. Daddy tried to do some stretches with me, but I was not fully engaged:
So, he gave up, and we decided to watch Football (Dont' we both look so relaxed?!):

Also, a few other random shots:
