I just tried to watch the first half of the chiefs game with my dad and grandpa but I didn't make it very long. Dad was trying to give mom a little break and right before halftime we came storming into the house and I was screaming! Part of me didn't understand what noise my body was making since I don't cry very often but I was really going for the drama king award. Once I got a huge bottle and Jammies all was right with the word.
This weekend is Labor Day and we have so much going on. My aunt and uncle are coming to kc and we are going to see my great grandparents in Seneca Sunday for the Labor Day picnic. I hear there is a cake walk. My mom loves cake so I am hoping to be her lucky charm! Maybe she will share her winnings with me.
Today I turned ten months old which seems crazy to my parents. We celebrated with a pretty sweet haircut and mom got highlights. I feel like a million bucks. Pictures coming soon.

Thank goodness it is the weekend!  This week has been hard.  My mom has been working a lot to hire new workers for her classroom, my dad had a few big meetings, and I was teething a bit so I was a little grumpier than usual.  I wish that this first tooth would finally come in so I could get some relief but I am almost ten months and no sign of it yet.  Maybe before my first birthday I will have a tooth. Maybe I will have to eat soft foods for the rest of my life.  Hope not!
I have really been working on pulling up to stand this week.  I am a really good army crawler but I have never been into getting on all fours with my tummy off the ground.  This week I can get onto my knees and pull up.  Sometimes I need a little help but I really enjoy practicing.  Last night I decided to pull up to stand on my carseat.  That didn't work so well because it kept bopping me in the face.  My mom took a video but she accidentally took it upside.  Darn iphone!
My dad takes really good care of me while my mom is at work during the week.  We play a lot and do lots of fun things.  Yesterday my dad decided to rearrange some furniture so that I couldn't escape the little play area.  Well, once I went to bed and it got dark my mom went walking to get something out of her purse that was sitting on the china cabinet.  All of a sudden dad heard a huge bang and mom was laying on the floor.  Some really naughty words were coming out of her mouth and dad came running.  My dad was relaxing and forgot to move the big chairs that were blocking the way and mom tripped right over them.  She has an enormous bruise the length of her forearm and she decided to not speak to dad for several hours after that!  Mom was very glad that I was safe in my bed because if you know my mom she is not a very graceful person.  My grandpa used to tease her and call her Grace as a child because she fell down so much.  She was glad i didn't end up on the floor with her. 
Wish me luck because tomorrow mom is going to try to take me to a huge garage sale and to visit my great grandma who broke her leg!  Keep it real!

So today my mom took me with her to workout. She does this a lot because she has horrible working mom guilt and can't bear to leave me after she gets home from work. Her trainer, Karen, is so nice bc she plays with me and gives me cups to gnaw on while mom works. Today mom ran with me in the stroller. I loved the feeling of the wind in my hair. I even loved throwing all of my toys out of the stroller as mom ran causing her to have to stop to give them back to me. That was awesome!
Once we got home I got to crawling all over the house.  We have old hardwood floors that my mom and dad try to keep clean but it is pretty impossible.  I am partial to crawling with my tummy on the floor and when I am done I look like the bottom of a swiffer pad.  I hate to brag but usually I am a pretty cute kid but today I was a hot mess.  First, I was covered in avocado, green beans, I had a puff stuck in my hair, and the front of my outfit looked like I had been rolling in dirt.   If you know my mom she deals with babies all the time at work and she is used to messy babies so she didn't think twice to take me out in public like that.  She took me to the store and I am so embarrassed because people were staring at me like I was neglected or something.  Needless to say, I took a very long bath tonight and now I smell terrific.
It was a good day playing with my family and now if I could just get this tooth to come in I would be all set!  Keep it real!

My Name is Beau

Hi, my name is Beau Bloom.  Welcome to my blog.  I wanted a place where I could share my thoughts on my world, tell you what my parents are up to, and show you lots of pictures of the things that make me happy, mad, and the people that I like a lot!
This is me:

Maybe you want a little backstory on how I got here and who my parents are.  My mom's name is Colleen and my dad is Eric.  They met each other in 2000 when they were making a homecoming float for their sorority and fraternity.  They got married a long, long time later on October 18, 2008.  After another long four year wait I came along on October 29, 2012.  It was the best day if I do say so myself!  I knew immediately that these were people that I could have fun with.  I fit right in from the very beginning.  My parents are a little weird and I really like that about them.  People are always telling me that my mom and dad do some silly things sometimes but they also take really good care of me.
My best friend in the whole world is my dog, Leo.  He is such a great friend.  I love to chase him all over the house and sometimes I try to pull the hair on his face.  If you have never pulled the hair on a dog's face I would not recommend it.  He did not react favorably and my mom kind of freaked out so if you want a calm mom and a calm best friend keep your hands to yourself.  Here is a picture of my best friend Leo. 

My mom is telling me that my bedtime was three hours ago so I better get off the computer and try to get some shut eye.  Busy day tomorrow.  I am doing a stroller workout with my mom and some of her friends.  It feels good  get my fitness on!  Keep it real!
