Eight months old

Here I am with Mama.

Baba built shelves in our pantry this week, with Grandpa's help. Here I am sitting on the top shelf, laughing with Baba.

Mama is back at work. Here's last week's chalkboard drawing of "The Storming of the Bastille" (without the mob).

Here I am with Grandma Dianne and Grandpa Charlie in front of our house. We had fun together. They were so sweet to me. I was teething and sick for the first time in my life. I wasn't quite as jolly as I normally am, and they loved me anyway.

The three generations of Gardner men.

Grandpa took me on a walk around our neighborhood.

And he made the "turtle face" back at me. I make the turtle face when I'm happy and content.

I spend a lot of time these days "singing" and scooting.
