My time in Evanston so far.

One of the first things I did upon arrival in Evanston was to take a look at Lake Michigan - it's HUGE and beautiful!

Now that I only feed myself food, I spend a lot of time in my highchair - I can only move so fast with two teeth! Good thing I like it...

Yum... apple!

The Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings is a hit with all of us - I especially liked the accordion player.

Ahhh... my bed! Glad to be out of my Pac n' play that was my home for about a month.

I can watch Baby Einstein anywhere!

Chillin' on the floor - my domain.

Hanging out with Dad before bed.

Evanston has so many great parks! I love to swing and go down the slide (with Mom of course - hard to capture that!).

Some beauty shots...

Kristine Alexander took some great photos of me before we headed up to Illinois - she captured the full glory of me at 8 months!! :)

summer 2009

Well, my mom has been a little busy this summer helping us get ready to move to Evanston! I wanted to share all of the fun things I did this summer, and will keep everyone updated on my new digs in Illinois!

Having fun in my bed!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!! 2009! Gathered as Lindy and Wyc's condo- Mom was busy studying, so I just hung out with Dad for the day.

2 teeth popped up right around my 6m birthday. Uncle Alex captured them at the beach!

Fun at Fripp Island with Annie, Robert, Gram Pam, Gordon, Alex, Emily, Mom and Dad.

I LOVE SAND!

I also like to play outside in the yard...

...and under blankets.

My first trip to Hiawassee to visit MomMom and Papo.

Surveying the scene at Costco with Mom.

Enjoying my walks and my stroller.

Conquering all of my toys, at once.

A visit to Sea Island with Lindy, Wyc, Kris, Dave, Caroline, Jacqueline, Mom and Dad.

Our "Going Away Party" on August 15, 2009.

Having fun with Trenton and Sam.

Stay tuned for all of the fun activities I will be partaking in up in Evanston!

Many firsts these past couple of weeks!!

Hanging out with Mom...

My first bite of cereal!! YUM...

Laughing with Dad.

Chatting on the phone...

Reading books.

ROLLING OVER!

Sitting up all by myself, at least for a second or two!

Taking the food world by storm - bananas first, then sweet potatoes. YUM, again.

I went swimming with Andy Madden & Corinne Dunlap for the first time - it was so much fun!

Mother's Day - May 10, 2009

What a great day! After I cooked Mom breakfast (with a little of Dad's help), we drove up to Gainesville to hang out with Lindy, Wyc, Kris, Dave, Caroline & Jacqueline!

May 6, 2009- Playing with my bud Sam

Sam's warming up in the exersaucer...

Having fun - William's making the first move.

Locked arm in arm

Hey - who are you?

Sam's turn.

All in all, tons of fun with Sam! Hope he comes over again soon.
