September

 

Pierce tried to take his temperature.  He has been teething.  His four molars are coming.

Pierce loves to play with his kitchen.

It's the perfect size.

Sweet Vincent rolled under the table.

We went to a bbq at the Ellwanger's house.  Pierce enjoyed playing outside and hanging out with the guys.

Pierce loves to ride his dino all over the house.

Pierce smiled for the camera.

I can't get enough of that smile!

Pierce loves to dip his food in ketchup.

Pierce climbed into the shelf.  Silly guy.

Pierce eats much better when he has a fork.  He likes to use a real fork not a plastic baby one.

Dino ride

He is showing Murree how fast he can go.

We had a play date at Aidan's house.

They pulled out all of his toys.

Pierce and Josie played with the puzzle.

Pierce doesn't want to pose for group pictures anymore.  Uh-oh, it's starting already.

We went to the Tot Spot at the Children's Museum.  Pierce loves these bubble tanks.

He said hi to the cow.

He loves to open these doors.

Pierce had fun eating a plate. 

He went down the slide.  Usually, he goes up and down the stairs.

Pierce loved sitting in the car and pushing the buttons.

He discovered a new thing; spinning the wheel was fun.

Pierce found a stuffed animal.  He threw himself down on top of it to give it a hug.  This is what he does with his big white puppy at home.

Pierce enjoyed being in the car, and he didn't mind that it was pink.

He went to the vet and played with the animals.

He went grocery shopping at HEB.

He checked out the ambulance.

Pierce loves to push this popper around the house.  He stopped for a moment to pose for a picture.

Pierce LOVES sticks.  He collects the sticks in the backyard daily.

"Hey Mom, look what I have!"

Daddy read books to Pierce before bedtime.

Pierce helped turn the pages.

Look at that picture.

Pierce loves to see himself in the mirror.

He always wants to be outside.  The next best thing is looking out of the window.

Pierce enjoyed lunch at Mi Luna.

Daddy and Pierce - Pierce has a stick in his hand.

Sticks, sticks, sticks...I love sticks.

Do you see my cool sticks Mom?

Sticks and doors are his favorite!

Pierce got to lick the beater.  Yum.

Murree wants a lick too.  Pierce probably gave him a few.

We went to a Sip and See to see Brooks.  Big Sister, Adley, played with Pierce.

He wanted to go upstairs.  Adley is so gentle with Pierce.

She gave him a big hug.

Pierce fell asleep in Daddy's arms.  Sweet boy!

We celebrated Grandparent's Day with Grandpa/Mimi Vilyus and Pawpaw/Memaw Applewhite. 

Pierce loved the pasta.

Everyone smiled for the camera including Pierce.

We enjoyed a beautiful morning outside.  It was nice and cool.

Pierce's precious smile

We went to Texas Children's for reflux testing.  It was a long day because couldn't eat or drink for most of the day except for one 3 ounce bottle mid day. 

Pierce was scared of the machine.  He cried and fell asleep. 

I don't blame him for being scared.  I don't like being in these machines either.

We had a 3 hour break before we went back for more testing.  Pierce spent an hour looking at the trains. He loved them!

Mimi and Pierce - We found straws to entertain Pierce.  He also enjoyed looking at the water wall.

We went to the library and played games, read books, and colored.

Mimi drew Minnie Mouse.

We went to Chic Filet to play with Guilliana and Lea.  It was our last visit with Guilliana before she moved to Alaska.

Guilliana gave Lea and Pierce a blue shirt from Alaska.

 Pierce had fun playing with the girls.

 The Chic Filet play area was quite fun.

 Pierce was ready to go outside and play.  He found a pair of my sunglasses in a drawer.

 We had a play date at Haven's house.

 Pierce liked sitting at her table.

 The kids had a blast playing with Haven's toys.

 Pierce likes to play in the dishwasher.

 Uncle Marco and Aunt Mary bought Pierce a Spurs shirt.

 Go Spurs Go!

 Pierce enjoyed a snack.  His favorite snack is veggie sticks.

Yummy Spaghetti!

 He loves to eat with his fork.

 Delicious dinner!

Pierce likes to watch the clothes spin in the washing machine. 

 Now, I need to teach him how to fold laundry.

 Yummy beater!

 We baked sweet treats for Aunt Kim.

 Pierce rode his truck with a tight grip on the beater.

 Cheese

 Pierce played with an egg carton and some penne pasta.

 Vincent and Pierce

 Pierce climbed into the horse's stable. He actually had his head in the covered part.

 He also climbed into Uncle Marco and Aunt Mary's kitchen cabinets.  He closed the doors and sat inside until I opened them.

Pierce read US Weekly to check out the latest fashion tips.  Aunt Kim would be proud!
