OK, September is just about over. I've done everything
I set out to do... OK, I admit the list wasn't a long list, but what do
you expect, I'm only 8 months old. For October I plan to conentrate on standing
up, and stepping out, so keep your eye's peeled. I'm sure that once I start
walking daddy will put a video up of me taking my first steps. If he doesn't
then I can bet he'll get his head bopped by several of my loving family
memebers. |

Today I had a great day - I was happy and smiling
and laughing all day, Auntie Karen loved it. I even learned a new sound
today, Daddy says I sound like a gremlin. I can't believe that September
is almost over, so much has happened to me, mommy & daddy in the last
month. Mommy got a new offiice at work, Daddy has been interviewing with
Napa, and I've been growing like a weed. When mommy & daddy brought
me home from the hospital I was so small I barely fit in the car seat. Now
I've grown so much that I barely fit in the car seat. I've gone from barely
crawling a few steps to being able to cruise accross the floor in no time.
Well tomorrow is the last day of my first September and I really hope to
enjoy it, and to savor the memory. |

Today is a very important day. Daddy is going
to an interview for a managers job with Napa, so I'll be spending just part
of the day at Auntie Karens. I had a great time at Auntie Karens today,
but after daddy's interview we were off. I fell asleep in the truck and
when I woke up we were at Taco Bell with mommy, it was really strange. After
a quick bite to eat we went to Regis to visit all of Mommy's co-workers,
and she has a lot of co-workers. At about 2pm we left Regis, and decided
to stop by Aunt B's house to see if conner & her were at home, the house
was empty, so we left and went to Free
Time Comics (daddy loves this place & highly recomends them for
future presents for me). After free times we were back in the truck and
getting closer to home, but we weren't going home yet. Instead we stopped
by Grandpa Renke's house. Grandpa wasn't home from work yet, but Grandma
Mary was so we hung out with her for awhile until Grandpa showed up. I loved
playing with Grandpa, he's always happy to see me and he even took me outside
to play with Ripp, I'm still not sure if ripp is a big dog, or a small horse.
I wish I could have stayed at Grandpa's all night, but it was getting close
to 5pm and daddy new mommy would be worried if she got home and we weren't
there so we headed home. Today was a very busy day. I think I'm gonna take
a lazy day tomorrow. |

Monday's are always good because I get to go
back to Auntie Karen's even though it feels like I just left a few hours
agp from the party. Today was a pretty average day, I tried pulling Kyla's
face off a few times, and got in trouble for trying to play with stuff I
wasn't supposed to play with. The best thing that happened today is that
I got Koolaid for the first time. It was really good, I guess I can see
why daddy's like's mommy... Cuz mommy is made of sugur & spice &
everything nice, and there's a lot of Sugar in koolaid. After daddy got
home tonight mommy, daddy, and I all sat at the table and had dinner together.
I had cherrios and mom & dad had stew. Dad spent about 10 minutes picking
out all the peas. |

Sunday, what a lazy day. Mommy came in and
got me after 9:30 because I was up playing in the crib. She brought me
into the bedroom and I got to crawl all over mommy, daddy, and even the
doggy. Later we all got up and moved into the Living room where I got
to crawl around somemore. I love crawling around because I get to explore
new things all the time. I really like pulling myself up onto the couch
or chair and getting a better view of the room. Tonight mommy made home
made salsa, but I haven't been allowed to try it yet.
PS - Daddy has had a really busy week with me teething and putting together
the playset at Karens so to make up for it he decided to update my photo
album. So please check out my 6-8 month photo's. |

Today is Saturday and usually I would spend the
day with mommy & daddy, but today is different. you see mommy has been
feeling really really sick lately, and daddy had to do some more work on
the playset at Auntie Karens. So daddy took me with him and I spent the
day playing with Auntie Karen, and even a couple girls that were at the
house to babysit me, and kyla because Auntie Karen was having a big party
at her house tonight. Daddy worked on the playset from about 11am tell 4ish
when it started to rain real hard, and then he came in and game me some
dinner. After the rain it was back out until almost 7 when he finally started
cleaning up his tools and before he could hammer the steaks into the ground
the kids were playinmg on the playset. After everything was put up daddy
came in and woke me up from a nap so I could play on the floor and meet
all the people at the party, he even took me outside to slide down the slide,
and to climb on the rock wall, It was fun, but daddy and I had to leave
around 8:30 because it was getting late and I still needed some dinner and
to get ready for bed. |

Ok, it's friday and were back at daycare. I can
see what daddy was working on last night, and it doesn't look like he got
very far. Must have been all the cussing that was slowing him down. Anyway
I heard he was going to try and get off of work a little early tonight to
work on the playset some more. The good news is that I was right. Daddy
did come over early to work on the playset, and by the looks of it he was
able to get a lot done. before we left tonight he had everything up to the
deck built. |

Not much has happened this week, however daddy
did comeover to pick me up from Karen's tonight. When he came over he brought
his tool bag and drill with him. At first I thought this was a little strange,
but before I new it he was outside digging through wood and connecting pieces.
I'm not sure what he's making but I think it's gonna be for me, and maybe
the girls too. I think I may have heard some cussing over the instructions,
but I'm not worried. My daddy can do anything. |

| September 22, 2004 |
Today is kind of a slow news day. So forgive
me that there isn't much here. The good news is that I'm growing bigger
everyday, and with each new day comes more adventures like trying to dig
in the soil, or climbing a rockwall, wait this happens on Saturday!!! |
| |
|
| September 21, 2004 |
Today it was back to daycare, and I think I'm
starting to come down with a cold. My nose has been running all day and
I'm starting to cough a little. I hate getting colds. Everyone want's to
wipe my nose and after awhile it starts to hurt. |

The biggest thing that happened to me today is
that I started getting my fifth tooth in. That's right, I'm now working
on a Lower Lateral Incisors. I can't believe
all my teeth are coming in this fast, it feels like as soon as one is done
cutting the next starts popping out. The worst thing that happened tonight
was that I just couldn't sleep, my teeth were bugging me so bad. I woke
up just as mommy & daddy were dozing off for the night and I was up
for the majority of the night after that. Daddy barely got any sleep. It
was his night to check on me when ever I woke up so he was up with me the
most, however mommy did take over for him around 4:45am because he was starting
to get real grouchy. |

Sunday, what a lazy day. I woke up this morning
and was all by myself in the crib so I just hung out for a little while,
I found my bottle empty and needed a refill so I started running the bottle
along the bars of the crib and it made a clunking sound that sounded really
cool, I wonder if my stripped pajama's gave me the idea to run the bottle
across the bars??? Anyway daddy came in to get me and so we played in the
living room for several hours before I started to get fussy so dad put me
in the swing I got from Grandpa Renke, & Grandma Mary. I'm not sure
how long I slept, but when I woke up, mommy was there, she's so pretty.
The rest of the day was filled with me exploring the living room looking
for new things, I even found a piece of fuzz on the floor after Daddy vacuumed,
I was helping. The best thing that happened today was that daddy let me
have jello. It was cold, slimy, and it turned my fingers green. |

Saturay, It's just me & mommy today. Daddy
has to work from open to close. While daddy was at work a man came over
to the house and started to mess with the refrigerator. I guess whatever
he was doing must have worked because as soon as he left mommy took the
plastic dish out that was there to catch water leaking in the fridge.
The rest of the day I got to play with mommy. The worst thing that happened
today is that I was crawling around in the dinning room and found a piece
of metal that daddy bought to put on the back screen door. I thought it
looked really cool so I tried to play with it, all of a sudden my finger
started to hurt and then it started leaking some red stuff. Mommy grabbed
me right away and tried putting some stuff on my finger to stop the bleeding.
Mommy said that there are no band aids in the first aid kit we bought
in the baby department at Baby-R-Us, that fit baby fingers. The best thing
that happened today is that my fourth tooth has broken skin. Now I have
both of my Upper Central Incisors. |

Friday, It's my last day in daycare for this
week. That's kinda sad because I wish I could Be with Mommy, Daddy, All
my Grandparents, Auntie Karen, & all my cousins, aunts, uncles, and
friends seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Anyway today I had two major
events happen. First I did the splits. Auntie Karen says it hurt her not
me. I just saw a toy I wanted and moved my legs around so I could reach
it. The second major thing that happened today is that I climbed up a step
onto a small landing. Auntie Karen has stairs at her house and I'm gonna
be headed upstairs before she can say, Orion, NO!!!! |

Back to Daycare, and new adventures. Today I
had an adventure in bubblegum. That's right, I had a bubblegum slurpy, and
I loved it. It was new at first which is always odd, but once I felt that
sugury goodness poor down my throat I new I had something to keep. Auntie
Karen even let me enjoy it outside on the blanket with all my girld friends,
I heard the only thing better then this was cold lemonade on a hot summer
afternoon. Todoay is mommy's school night so daddy picked me up. We went
home and moved the furniture around in the Living room, I think daddy is
trying to make a better blockade to keep me in the living room. After the
room was on spot, daddy started to play his new video game, and I got to
play on the floor, but I fooled him. I found a whole in the blockade and
was able to get out, hehe I'm so sneaky. |

| September 15, 2004 |
Today was a good day. I spent the whole day with
my daddy. We started the day off at about 9am when he came in to wake me
up. Auntie Karen is gonna yell at him for not keeping me on my schedule.
After breakfast I got to play while dad did some work on the computer, I
think he was trying to find a motor vehicle place in Weld County. After
lunch & a bath we were off to the Motor Vehicle department in Ft. Lupton.
It was a pretty nice drive and so I dozed off, however when I woke up daddy
was real happy because his plates were $50 cheaper then adams county. After
that we went up to Robb's. mom & dad love this place, dad was able to
get 24 jar's of baby food for $1.50, that's a $10.50 saving over the grocery
store. This evening we went over to Amici's for dinner, I got to see my
favorite cousin conner again. He's getting so big... |

OK, today was a pretty normal day, I went to
Karen's in the morning and spent the day with my girlfriends. Life sure
is tough when your a guy surrounded by all women. Dad picked me up and we
came home to mommy making chicken nuggets & fries. Daddy let me have
a bunch of mustard from his plate.. Tangy yet good, I'll have to try it
on my french fries, when they let me have french fries.. |

Today I get to spend my day with Auntie Karen
again. Another week another dollar, or at least that's what mommy and
daddy are doing. Their out getting lot's of money so they can buy me stuff
like my new "The Monster at the end of this Book" Book. Daddy
read it to me tonight and I just loved it. Have you read it? If not I
don't wanna ruin the surprise ending for you. The best thing that happened
today is that I got to eat real fruit. I had Peaches & Pears.
BTW - I would like to leave a special note to my grandpa Renke, I really
enjoyed playing with you at Aunt Debby's house Sunday night. Your the
greatest. I can't wait tell next time. |

Sunday, another day to sleep in. that's what
mommy keeps telling me. Mommy woke up at 9:30 this morning & she was
the first one up. She later woke me up & gave me breakfast then woke
daddy up with the vacuum cleaner. Today was a very busy day for mommy
& daddy. Momy was able to get some house work done, while daddy was
out working on the cars. Daddy changed the oil in both cars & then
did mommies brakes. After that we were all off again, this time we had
dinner at IHOP where daddy gave me some of his pancakes & hashbrowns.
Finally we finished off the day over at Aunt Debbies house where dad helped
out with putting up the cieling and Uncle Ron scared me several times
by yelling really really loud at the bronco's. The best part of today
is that Aunt Debby gave mommy & daddy a free picture of Kylee and
we didn't even have to buy and pies or cookie dough. Woo Hoo!!!!
PS - Today I started getting my third tooth, it's called an Upper
Central Incisors |

I heard that today is a very sad day in history,
I plan on spending the day with loved one. Today we took a drive down south
to visit Darla's friend Nina from work. She was having a house warming party
so we went to check out her pad. It was a real nice house and I got to play
with Nina's Mother-In-Law because she's gonna be a first time grandma just
like my Nanna. Then to my surprise we went over to my Nanna's house. Mommy
& Daddy went to see "Hero" (I heard it was a really good movie
if you like Chinese Martial Art's Movies). After the movie mommy & daddy
came over and we all had dinner together. I ate cheerio's. |

Today I was a little grump, I guess I just didn't
get enough sleep last night with all of dad's tossing & turning. However
when daddy showed up at Auntie Karen's to pick me up, I was still a little
grumpy. However daddy did hang around for a little while and play with me
while the ladies chatted away. After we got home daddy snuck me a few macaroni
& cheese noodles while mommy wasn't looking - then mommy slipped me
a couple while daddy wasn't looking. I'll never tell. |

| September 9, 2004 |
Now that I can pull myself up onto the couch,
it's time for me to start stepping out. I guess a better way to say it is
stepping acrossed. That's right everything is happening so fast. As soon
as I figured out how to pull myself up to the couch I decided to start trying
to walk along it. I don't get far, usually about one step, and then I fall
down, but they keep telling me to get back up, and to try it again. As for
my evening, it was another rough one. I fell asleep while I was playing
on the floor at about 9pm so daddy put me into my crib. I woke up about
an hour latter and just cried & cried until after midnight. Daddy gave
me a bath to try and calm me down it helped a little but I was still a little
upset, so Daddy let me sleep with him & mommy in the big bed. |

Kneeling is definatly one of my favorite things
to do. I have been kneeling over by the couch, I have even been kneeling
by the dog. I'll be praying at the foot of my bed any day now, that is if
my bed wasn't way above the floor and surounded by wood bars. Keep checking
back and dad will probably get a picture of me kneeling for all of you to
see. |

Today I'm going to Karen's that's right mommy
got me all ready to go, stuck me in the car seat, put the car seat in the
car, and cough, cough, ackkk, cough, acckk, ackk, cough!!! OK, I'm staying
home with mommy, mom says it's because of my cough, cough, ackkk, cough,
acckk, ackk, cough!!! sorry my cough, but I think mommy just wanted a four
day weekend. So today mommy and me stayed home all day and we play napped.
that's alot like play eat, but with more rest, and less eating.. |

Labor Day!! Daddy says they call it labor day
because he always has to work. The good news is he only had to work from
8am - 1pm. Mommy and I spent the morning together and played alot. Today
I learned a new trick. I can now use the couch or the chair to pull myself
to a standing positiion all by myself. The puppy is scared because she knows
that it's going to be harder and harder to stay away from me. That's right
comit, I'm coming for you, bbbwwwaaaahhhhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahah
- you can run, but you can't hide!!! Mommy? Have you seen the puppy??? |
| |
|
| September 5, 2004 |
Sunday again!!! Man these weeks are just flying
by. Today I woke up at about 5:30am and mommy gave me a bottle, after a
few sips I was out until mommy came in and woke me up at 10am, I slept like
a rock (folded over in a position that would give most of you a crick in
the neck) I tell ya, I just love Sunday's, I get to spend the whole day
with mommy & daddy. Today we went to K-mart and did some shopping, daddy
got Comit a cow to play with, and mommy got daddy some puzzles to put together
for my room. After K-mart we went over to Ace Hardware and daddy got a new
water pump for our swamp cooler. When we got home daddy let me play on his
lap while he worked on his newest web page for work, check it out and let
me know what you think. IABC |

Saturday, daddy has to work so I only saw him
for a few minutes in the morning. Mommy decided that "today is a good
day to vacuum" (quote from a klingon house keeper). Comit was sick
all last week (no more cabin bacon for puppy), so mommy decided that the
rug that I crawl on needed to be deep cleaned. Needless to say, I spent
the day in the baby jail, I think you guys call it a play pen. after daddy
got home I got to play with him, or should I say I played on the floor and
cried occasionally for attention, while daddy played his video game. |
| |
|
| September 3, 2004 |
TGIF!!! What a rough week, hanging out at
the daycare with Karen and the rest of
the girls. just learning to crawl and running around in the walker. I
love running over peoples toes.
BTW - Auntie Karen is going to kill me for putting up her picture |
| |
|
| September 2, 2004 |
The best thing that happened today was that I
got to spend the afternoon, & evening with my Grandpa & Grandma
Renke. Grandpa & Grandma Mary Renke picked me up at about 1pm and then
we went to a Vet to pick up Ripp. Ripp is a horse, at least I think he's
a horse, he's really really big and has a long nose. I can't wait to ride
him. Anyway After we got to Grandpa house he played with me all day, he
kept taking me away from ripp, but all I wanted to do was to find the saddle.
When daddy came to pick me up he let me do all my tricks for Grandpa like
pulling myself up, and even let me lean on the steps for a little while,
I almost figured out how to grab onto a higher step. |
| |
|
| 9 1, 2004 - Night |
After bed time thing's got real rough. I'm not
sure why but I just couldn't get comfortable last night. I kept waking up
every few minutes and just screamed & screamed. Daddy finally gave in
after midnight and put me in the car seat for a long drive. I was finally
able to fall asleep in my car seat so when Daddy got home he just brought
the car seat into the bedroom and set it down at the foot of the bed, and
that's where I slept, in the car seat with the car seat on the floor of
the bedroom. At least everyone was able to get a little sleep after that.

Today I got to spend the morning with daddy.
we played a little and he worked on his computer a little and I got to crawl
all around the office. I kept knocking over the trash can, it was was fun.
When I started getting sleepy daddy put me in the swing and I was asleep
in no time. After daddy woke me up it was bath time. I really like bath
time because I get to splash the water around. After my bath it was off
to Auntie Karen's because daddy had a very important meeting to go to. Karen
fed me spaghetti for lunch it was so good, Daddy says that I must have a
little Italian in me. |
