sigh, mom do we really have to take pictures every month?

i think that might just be an eye roll...

mom why do you insist on removing my binky for pictures?

seriously, i'm so much bigger than mr. panda now...

i can roll and i'm quick.

sleepy face...
must be exhausting having all those toys back there to play with...

cat, wait. i'm not tired any more. can we play with kitty?

{ignore kitty's bum.  bad picture. but so ben. he loves orbit!}

i found this thing that makes a crinkly noise on my shirt.
