Look at this great gift from Aunt Laura and Uncle Jake. It's a big, squishy football. I spent a lot of fun time trying to put it in my mouth. 

There's one more picture from my big trip that I wanted to share. Here I am with Mommy and Daddy and Aunt Laura and Uncle Jake. They drove a long way to see me! Uncle Jake doesn't look very excited, but don't let him fool you. He knows lots of great songs, and he even sang some to me in the car. 

Here I am, home with my toys and my mommy and daddy. I'm so glad to be home, but sad because I don't have all those fun people to play with anymore. Maybe they will come visit me here! 

Here I am, kicking around in the airport between our two plane rides home. Remember how the poopy diaper worked so well to get Mommy and Daddy to walk me around on the plane? Well, I saved up all week so that I could make FOUR poopy diapers on the big plane ride home. It was worth the effort! I feel much better now. 

Grandpa likes to nibble on my ear. Does he think he can get milk out of my ear? I might be wrong, but I don't think that's where milk comes from. 

Grandma is showing me the tinkly things. I want to put them in my mouth! 

Here I am, playing with my uncle Todd. Do you think I will grow to be as big as him someday? 

This is my mommy. She is teaching me to stand up like a big boy. It's so fun! 

Here I am with my grandma. She loves to pay attention to me. 

All this hiking wore me out. It was a great chance to do something I don't get to do much now that I am a big boy: take a nap in Daddy's arms. 

Here we are all together! When Mommy and Daddy were falling in love, they liked to go see waterfalls together. Now they're taking me with them! 

Here I am with Mommy, enjoying a waterfall that God made. Daddy took my hat off so you could see my smile in the picture. 

Um, Daddy? Mommy? I think you forgot something. You took off the carrier, but you forgot to take out the baby. Hello? Anyone out there? 

Here I am with my two favorite people, Mommy and Daddy. I love hanging out with them! 

Dad is such a great hiker, and I love exploring the outdoors with him! 

Here I am, staying snuggly while I hike with my Dad. Thanks to my buddy, Sam, for giving me something warm to wear! 

I have a new big buddy whose name is Paul. He's about the same age as my other buddy, Sam. Paul likes to kiss me even more than Sam does. 

Here I am with Isaac, taking a snooze. Our mommies took us on stroller rides, and we got sleepy! 

This is my new little buddy, Isaac. He three months younger than me. Our mommies say that we will be in the same grade in school. That seems like a long way away! 

Here I am with Great Grandpa. He wanted to hold me, but I just wanted to wiggle around. He did a good job hanging onto me!
