A Star is Born!!!

And, no I'm not talking about Baby Yates II. But, Daddy is officially a "movie star." I hung out w/Mom all day yesterday while Daddy shot a commercial. I can't wait for it to air. Daddy said he looked like a dork, but I just don't believe it. Dork is not in my genes...well maybe from Mom but certainly not Dad. Anyway, after church on Sunday we went down to the lake to throw stones into the lake. Fun but hot as you can see in the sweaty pics below! Mom is still hanging in there...Baby Yates II appears to be happy where he is..right in Mommy's belly. And Oh, how could I forget my play date at Harrison's house. He has sooo many toys, you would think his house was a toy store.

Happy B'day Ashley & Go Gran!

Once again...not a moment to spare this past weekend. I had a blast at Cousin Ashley's B'day party, went to the pool a few times and cheered Gran on in her 5K Retro Race. BTW - She placed second in her age group...Way to go Gran! And thanks to Nana and Grandad for buying me my way too cool shoes....I was able to run the streets like the real runners. I am officially inspired to run marathons very soon!
Balloons are just as cool as balls!
Me & Dad cheering Gran on!
But Mommy, we are facing the wrong way...the race is behind us!
I'm feeling a little squished here...thanks a lot little Bro!
Enjoying the beautiful "spring like" weather in mid July!
Just warming up...I'll be out there next year!
Look how fast I already am!
Go Gran! Pass these slow pokes!
Had to take a load off...all that running wore me out!
Gran, Mommy, and Little Bro!

Just for my Little Bro

OK...So we haven't paid much attention to Baby Yates II lately with all my new accomplishments. And before you ask, no we still don't have a name even though Mom is 35 weeks prego in these pics. We are getting close though (to a name). Mom went to the doc yesterday and Baby Yates II still has made no progress, which is fine by us b/c we still have so much to do to get ready for his arrival. Anyway, here are a few pics of my little bro in Mommy's belly this week....we have been bad about taking pics of him growing :(

My Pal Jackson

So the whole family went to Ms. Ashley and Ms. Ryan's house to eat on Saturday night. I had the best time playing wtih Jackson and all of his toys! In fact, we were so busy that Mom could never get a good pic of us together....We played chase, kicked each other out of Jackson's chair (literally), played ball and just giggled....Jackson thought I was such a good crawler (even though i can walk) that he decided to revert back to his crawling days as well.

4th of July

Happy Birthday America and Happy 13th Month Old B'day to me. Two great birthdays with two great reasons to celebrate...and to do so we went to Pop and Meme's condo in Perdido Key. The weather was perfect, and I can't wait to go back. On my actual 13 Month Old B'day I finally took my first steps. Everyone was so proud (including me)....but I'll try not to brag. Then, the rest of the weekend was jammed pack with way too cool things....we went on a long boat ride, saw fireworks, had large cookouts, hung out at an island with about a million other folks, and last but not least....went to the Flora Bama. Yes, you heard me right...I'm no longer a Flora Bama Virgin...I did it on the line!
OK...So what if I passed out on my first trip to the Flora Bama....I wore myself out dancing and flirting with all the ladies. Don't worry, I woke up about 45 minutes later with my groove on again! I was just peeved when they kicked me out that night...something about me not looking old enough....even with my receding hair line. Go figure...I'll take a Fake ID next time for sure!
I'm just waking up....
OK...Now, let's party!
Check out the babe behind Daddy...Boy oh boy was she feeling the music!
Why the somber looks you ask.....because this is the day we had to go back home to B'ham :(
Pop's Boat....
Look at me standing all by my lonesome...just like a big boy!
We took one last dip in the pool before we hit the road...our plan to leave late to avoid the gridlock traffic on the interstate didn't work. Oh well...worth every minute of it. Thanks Meme & Pop...I can't wait to come back next time, with my little brother in tote!
