August 2011

When was this, Late August?

Visiting Grandma.

Not really walking yet, but pulling up and looking out the door.

Looking for mom, for dad?..or, just looking.

This is me.

I am curious!

lately

I'm crawling around, getting into things. Grandma sat me on the grass, it is prickly, I didn't move....:)

a visit to the store, part 4

I'm getting to be such a big boy that I can go to the store with Grandma! (well, this picture is from the evening before..but...).

After spending the night at Grandma's house, the next morning...

We WENT TO THE STORE!!!!

The store is a GREAT place!!!

I love the little cars on the front of the carts..VROOM! VROOM!

and HEY! Don't I know you from somewhere!?!!?

It is all SO EXITING and it wore me out so that Grandma had to hold me during check out because I was getting fussier and fussier.... Grandma's are like that!

Then afterward, I had a bite to eat and TOOK. A. NAP....(zzzzzzzzzzzz)

it feels so good to sleeeep!

bye,bye

until later,

Elliot Flynn 

the train set

(part  3 of  a 4 part series)


As I said, it had been awhile since I had stayed over at Grandma's.
She had just been sooo busy and could only see me for brief bits, like an hour or two,
and truthfully less than that sometimes..so we had fallen out of touch.

But June had arrived and whoooosh!, TIME.
So she and mom talked and because mom was moving
Grandma was only more than happy to have me stay over.

She read me books.
Gave me a bath and let me play in the tub (I loved this but she couldn't take pics as she was the only one there and the camera was in the other room AND  it WAS a tub of water...god forbid).

Before we went out for the night and before she fed and bathed and dressed me for bed,

she pulled down the train set which had belonged to my dad and uncles.

I wasn't sure what to do with the bits and pieces!

So I put them in my MOUTH!!!

sorry! the pictures are poorly focused. WRONG setting!!!

the Radio Station

(cont'd from the 7th, a 3 or 4 part series..)
Following Dad's birthday dinner, he had plans to go out,
so Grandma took me to the radio station, KOPN.

David Owens, station manager and me.
a bit fuzzy but you get the picture..

There, we hung out with the station manager













and, a member of the executive board

me and Meg Poche..

Kevin Walsh was also there, but he was busy looking at his lap-top
and making commentary.

After such an exiting night.
We went back to grandma's house.

Dad's birthday

Mom dropped me off at Grandma's house,
she told Grandma I was tired.
So she fixed me a bottle while Grandma put me on the floor on the fuzzy blanket.
Then Mom hugged me and kissed me goodbye.

So I stayed on the floor for awhile.

 Grandma laughed, delighted I was there, and took some pictures of me.
She thinks I am adorable. Her words not mine.

Then, not really tired, I found her phone.

Phones are the coolest things. I showed her a few functions she didn't know about.

Then she read me some books before dad came over. 

Dad hugged me and kissed me and said that I was the best birthday present ever!

. l-r Uncle Dylan, me, dad, Uncle Ray

Then we went out to dinner, it was his birthday!!

so its been awhile. or MY, how I've grown...

It has been awhile, hasn't it?

But look how much I've grown!

Drooling from the first processes of cutting teeth.

I can sit up on my own now.

And hold things in my hands.

And talk-talk-jabber while chewing...

Before taking a break and moving....

To get as close to grandma as possible and see WHAT she is doing!

But most of all. I looove playing WHO'S THERE?!!

PEEK-A-BOO!

growing,growing

When was this. September? I am so new...

Then in October..getting ready for a walk.

And, Oh My! Sometime around Christmas/January..

Now today. March. Me looking rawther serious...

visits with Waylon

Yeah. I like my Uncle Dylan. He is a senior in High School. He is really cool...btw. that other kid is Waylon. He likes Dylan too.

I mean. He REALLY LIKES Dylan. 

Waylon and I hung out on the floor together.

I talked to him. He, however, is a baby of few words.

But wow, when he talks he really has something to Say!!

I always respond. Likewise.

Dang! Wish I could do this!..He is seven months old. Anyway, in time. in time...

peace out! 

the fig.

guess what!!

Do you know what I discovered??

I discovered feet!

LEFT!

RIGHT!

Now what to do with them..hm.

Puppies!!

There were puppies @ grandma's house this weekend (She is a foster parent for pups and dogs at the local pound, which means keeping them and caring for them until they are either a) over their infection or b) old enough to adopt). Lynda and Amanda came over to visit to see the puppies and me, no pictures though :(..

 I liked the puppies.
Grandma and I sat on the newly washed floor and Stella (the puppy) came up to me and licked and licked my fingers.
I talked and talked and talked and talked (rather adamantly) to the puppies.

Puppies are not SO unlike me. And yet they are...

Grandma will return them to the pound this Friday. They will be old enough for someone to adopt.
