Iowa State Fair & 5 months old

I am now 5 months old and have almost mastered sitting up.  I will sit by myself for quite a while, then I do a TIMBER.  I almost have my first teeth also.  They are getting so close and really starting to bother me.  I haven't been sleeping as well for Mom either.  She is blaming it on these teeth.  We all wish they would just come in.  I have also started making a new noise.  I used to coo and make sweet noises, but now I Squawk like a dying bird.  It is quite funny!

Mom, Dad, and Aunt Becky took me to the Iowa State Fair last Thursday.  It was over 90 degrees with very little wind.  In other words HOT.  I was a trooper though enjoying the sites and being outside.  I got to go to the Nadas concert where we found Dane and Brooke.  After the concert we spotted Shawn Johnson, the Olympic Gold Medalist.  She lives in West Des Moines.  So I got my picture taken with her.  Mom was so happy I didn't spit-up or poo on her. Here are the photos.

You'll have to excuse me I am a little star struck.

Okay, just 1 smile then I'm done!

Really...

It is too hot for pictures

We found Clifford!!

My Baptism

My baptism was Aug. 8th 2009.  It was such a fun event filled with family and good food.  Grandma and Grandpa Ward cooked fish for everyone.  Maybe next year I will get some, for now I will stick to my milk and cereal.  I loved getting dipped in the Holy Water.  I had a big grin on my face.

I sure like my candle, I wonder if I can eat it!

Father seems like a fun guy!

My Godparents with Mom, Dad, and Father Tim

Sure wish I could go back in the water

Here I go in!!!

Online

Mom and Dad finally got the internet.  Believe it or not we are Online, which means more frequent pictures of me.  Maybe tomorrow, Mom will upload her new pictures of my baptism, swimming pool, Iowa State Fair, and my new skill- sitting up:).  I am getting to be such a big boy and developing quite the little personality.  But for now it is time for bed after another eventful day!!!
