Stand Alone...

JR has fun, trying to stand....

JR's Playhouse....

This last weekend,

we gated off the downstairs family room and child-proofed everything!

Finally, a place he can go anywhere,

do anything....no more--No, No, Joe, Joe....

Family Hug!

Tha Rauls Family...

sleeptime!

JR sleeping during his am nap!

Daddy, this is not funny anymore.....

Did you want some of my cheeto?

Bubbles & Bubbles & Bubbles.....

So, does Joseph still love bathtime???

ummmmm.......Yeah.......

It's like Disney without the 15hr. drive!

Big ups' to whomever this Bubble Maker came from....Wheelers??

New Mobile Phone......brought to you by Sprint

We start training young in the Rauls Family!

JR's first .0038K Crawl for the phone....

Imagine if you had to work this hard for every phone call,

it would be easy to get rid' of those pesky holiday lbs....

"Back" again

This is my daddy's back & leg stretcher, but my log roller!

I can't seem to figure out to get over, under or around it yet

so mom and dad keep putting it in my way of places to go.....

Like the: Kitchen, electrical outlets, end tables, fireplace, steps, drawers, hard wood, dinning room chairs and anything with a plug.....

Pro Boxer?

Keys to 9month old play time!

1. It must be more fun, if mom and dad say NO--so keep trying!

2. All toys must be out at all times!!! The more the merrier!

3. Once all the toys are out, just play with, on or in the box!!

Fort Bodypillow!

The fireplace, like the rest of our house, has been taken over by our little dude....

Yep- That's a body pillow I made for Katie (yep again, I MADE) for when she was pregnant....

The only use for it now is to keep JR from slamming his head into the brick and/or from opening the fireplace doors in search of Santa!!!

It's never been for fun than now!

Each day and week gets better and more fun...

Look a like?

These are JR's cousins for KC......

& That's the baby William, could he pass for JR's twin??

JR about the same age......Will in now 7yrs old

Older and older......
