Moving is like running with bacon

Actually, I can't complete that metaphor, but I'll tell you what is like running with bacon: me running with bacon at James and Laurie's Redline Burger.

OK, right, moving. Gotta focus.
We got ready for our big move on Sunday and it started out like this.


I helped unpack bedding.

Doing my own stunts, as always.


The (de)construction has begun. See you in 4-6 months, house!


And, on an unrelated note, wearing Mom's shoes:

New shoes

Now that I am one year old there are lots of things I can do, including sitting forward in my car seat, gambling at casinos, and wearing hard-soled shoes. Here I am modeling Chuck Taylor Converse.

I'll admit it, though, I'm a bit wary of these hard-soled things. They feel a little hard SOULed, too--taking away that organic feeling of foot touching Earth I get with my moccasins. I'll get used to it soon enough, but let's just say I'm a bit suspicious for now.

Snow day!!!

It snowed all day today so the whole family stayed home. It was beautiful out in the flakes.

It took a minute, but I warmed up to the idea of playing in the snow pretty quickly.


Dad made a mini snowman for me.

We went for a walk and I traveled by space pod.


We had fun inside, too. I learned how to sweep and put away laundry.


Can you see my teeth? Probably not, but they're coming. Three of them!

As if this wasn't enough, my first words have been identified: "all done!" Which was also my first sign, too. Apparently I'm interested in conveying my done-ness to everyone. Viva la talking!

This is the big one

Happy b-day Grandma Larson!

It's Fall!

For those of you who have been asking for another picture in the buff, here ya go.

Perfecting my walking skills. I only stop for cameras, walls and other toys that jump into my path.

Armfart revenge from mom.

We had a spectacularly sunny fall weekend up here in Seattle. Today the three of us went out on a run and enjoyed the fall colors. Well, I slept most of the time.

But when we got home we had a fall color photo shoot of sorts.

And then I downed some water to rehydrate after the long run. Ahhhhh.

The men on their own

Mom got a day to herself today so it was just Dad and me. We had b'fast with Auntie Kath and cool dude James, took a few naps, ate ice cream for lunch (one of us), and watched some football. Speaking of football, the strangest things can happen when one takes one's eye off of an adventurous little man for about 10 seconds.

And then we had some (slightly safer) fun with the airplane.
