daddy's birthday...

This was the weekend of daddy's birthday. Nana phyl & Pop pop came to spend the weekend with us. mom treated all of us to a Braves game. Now, I've been before so I showed them around and taught them where everything was... above is a picture of me sitting on a giant baseball before the game.

And then there is one if me @ "Toon Town" and then me waving at the players during batting practice... we had such a fun time and really great seats. I enjoyed watching all of the people and fireworks and even sat in our neighbors lap! he was a very nice man and he had food.

this weekend was also the day that i took my first official steps all by myself. the toy that i wanted was across the room. So, i found my route of travel, and off I went. Only got half way there the first few times, but it didn't take long for me to figure it out... Now, I'm a pro or I think that I am anyway...

Early Birthday Celebration

This weekend was an early celebration for my Daddy's Birthday and my Uncle Sam's Birthday (August 21st). It was a big one for Uncle Sam too! The Big 30! Check out Nana's Bikini cake creation that she made in honor of the Birthday Boys!

Thanks to my Uncle Brian's family, we were able to enjoy their lakehouse which was a great setting for a wonderful family gathering... We were also able to use their boat & water toys for some afternoon fun. Brooke & Brian also created a perfect backdrop for a wonderful party. They cooked and made signs and special candies for us all to enjoy. So a BIG Thank You to all of the Schulers for your hospitality!! This is me lounging in the Lake on that lazy Saturday afternoon... It is really hard being a baby in this family as you can see.

I almost fell asleep in the lake, but then Grandad & Nana got me out and rocked me and sat with me on the dock while the big kids went tubing. It was mommy & Aunt Hailey's first time to try out the water sport and they did a fairly good job until Uncle Brian tried to kill them... haha

Then, after everyone had a turn, we all went on a boat ride around the lake and Brian gave us a tour of the water... Here are a few pictures of me on the boat... I LOVED riding and watching the wake from the boat and seeing all of the water splash around... I liked it SO much that I think that I need daddy to buy me one...! Maybe I should ask for a boat for my upcoming first birthday?

With My New Teeth...

Since I now have TWO teeth (on the bottom front), my new favorite thing is to carry things around in my mouth without using my hands. In particular, I LOVE the squishy chickens that Nana gave me in Florida that were leftover from the convention...

I love them so much that Daddy can hold one up and say; "Bodie, get back in here or the chicken gets it..." As soon as Bodie sees the chicken, he comes frantically crawling back to rescue it.

Luckily, we ended up with a couple of them once we unpacked. So we keep one in the toy box and we keep one in the tub for bathtime...

Well that is, until last night... We are sad to announce that during our bath, the bathtub chicken was officially be-headed... Mommy looked down to see two big blue eyes staring at her with a mouth full of a chicken's head. After it was scooped out, Bodie immediately attempted to stick the rest of the poor little guy's body in his mouth, but it just wasn't the same. So we are sad to report today that we are minus one clucker in the Quick household.

But don't think that Bodie doesn't stare at the headless chicken and grin in amusement!

Now We Watch what I Say...

So here's where I am looking at the television and decide that I don't care to watch what is on... And with my new discovery...

Here is where I change the channel to MY show or just turn it off completely so that I can play with my toys in peace...

Daddy isn't quite happy with my new skill, but mommy thinks it's hilarious...

Play Ball

I can now officially "Play Ball"... Daddy and I will roll it back and forth... SO much fun.

Hawaii Five-O

When Nana & Grandad went to Hawaii this past March to watch the bulldogs play baseball, they brought back all of the grandkids matching Hawaiian outfits. We took some pictures of Mr. Bodie wearing his this weekend. Christopher enjoyed calling him Panama Jack all day.
