My First Ride

Tonight Mom and I helped Dad take Dolly (my horse) to his work - we found out she is going to have a baby in the spring. While we were there, Dad let me set on her for the first time, just like a real cowboy!

Lazy Sundays

This morning I got to hang out with Oscar and watch TV while Mom and Dad finished getting ready for church - Then we went to church were everyone loves me! I love Sundays!

Hangin' With Dad

I love weekends when Dad is home - we hang out and do fun stuff like read books, play in the floor and feed horses!

Bull-Ridin'

This week I tested out my cow hyde by flying on my floor in the nursery - I made it the full 8 seconds without falling off!

Wild Sleeper!

The chiropractor has recommended that I sleep on my back or on my side - I think this is a good compromise!

I wiggle all over when I sleep - but I sleep all night!

Sheriff Denny

Grandma brought me this great onsie that sums things up perfectly!

It says "I'm the BOSS around here" - I like it because it looks like a sheriff's badge and matches my room!

State 4-H Conference

Grandma and I got all dressed up on Thursday and went to the big awards for State 4-H Conference to meet Mom.
I got to see all my 4-H friends, including my girlfriend Shannon (our picture wasn't very good - but next time we will get a great one, and I promise not to spit up down her shirt again!)

Me & Grandma

Grandma came all the way to Las Cruces just to play with me.

Mom and Dad had to work for that big 4-H thing on campus, so me and Grandma stayed home! I got two baths everyday - we ate turkey, carrots, pears and lots of oatmeal!

I'm the King of the World

Daddy is teaching me to ride on his shoulders. I can see everything! Mom won't put me on her shoulders because I pull her hair - me and Dad don't have that problem!

Little OSU Cowboy

Nonna and Papa sent me this great Cowboys outfit!

I love to wear it - it is really comfy and I look great in orange! (Don't tell mom - I still like my Red Raider stuff, too!) But, this one is very special - it is a real Okie outfit from my real Okie family! Thanks, Nonna and Papa!

5 months old!

I just have one thing to say.....

...I am five months old today!! My goal for five months was to get all five fingers in my mouth (one for each month) - I did it to, only one escaped before Mom snapped the picture!

It is cool to be big! Each month just gets better!

Today I Learned to Fly!

Today I learned to lift up my legs and arms while laying on my tummy! I am flying just like when Mommy holds me up in the air - before long I will be flying across the room!

Here is my impersonation of a little old man flying.

Happy 4th of July

I had my first 4th of July! I was excited all day about seeing the fireworks - I barely slept and fussed until Mom or Dad would hold me and rub my tummy. By firework time I had been so wound up all day - I fell asleep! I did get to have some prune juice in celebration. This is a patriotic photo of me that Ms. Tammy took - she takes the best pictures! You can see more of her stuff by going to the McVaugh Family site and clicking on her photography site. Maybe she would take your picture too!

Praise Baby

For my dedication Ms. Darcy gave me a Praise Baby DVD. It plays praise songs and has lots of colors on the screen - flowers, butterflies, animals - even other babies that smile and wave at me! I can't take my eyes off it!

More 4-Hin'

I keep telling you that this 4-H stuff is exhausting - I traveled all the way to Taos with Mom and Dad for another District Contest. I got tired of riding around!

On Tuesday I worked with Mom while Dad helped with the horse contest, but on Wednesday I got to stay with Dad - we even sat out by the pool and watched Little Einsteins! Everyone loves me and wants to hold me because I am the little mascot.

I even met another baby who's last name is Turner (they say she isn't my cousin, but come on - her name is Turner - and I can always use more cousins!)

Little Drummer Boy

Grandpa just had to get me a drum set! He and Grandma brought it to me when they came last weekend - I can work it and everything! It sings and lights up and even has a tamborine - but, I like the drum best! Here I am playing in my bathrobe while Mom cleans up the bathroom.

I hate to tell Mama - but I think as I get bigger the drums will get bigger!
