Oh Hello!

I have been so busy lately! With trying to crawl, I always have somewhere to go. But I made some time today to give you all an update. A few weekends ago I got to spend a night with Grandma and Grandpa. They were impressed with all the noise I can make in my exersaucer. And then my Grandpa from Minnesota came down to have dinner with Mommy, Daddy and me! He gave me lots of hugs and said that I have gotten so big. But he didn't share his dinner with me even though I was trying so hard to grab his food. It smelled really good.

Food is getting more and more interesting. Now that I have 8 teeth, Mommy and Daddy are letting me try new things. They even let me eat jello last week. It tasted good, but I think it was more fun to squish through my fingers than to eat. And then I got to play in the bath, because Mommy said the jello made me sticky. Bath time is so fun! Mommy and Daddy pour the water out of cups for me and I try to grab the water, but I can't seem to get a hold of it.

I got to order real food just a couple of nights ago. We went to IHOP for dinner and I got a smiley face pancake for dinner. I only got a couple of bites and then it wasn't going so well so I ate my regular baby food for the rest of my dinner. I started to get pretty bored because there wern't very many people there to look at. But a couple of tables away there were some kids, so I tried to get their attention by yelling and making lots of noise. Mommy and Daddy turned kindof red and kept telling me to "Shhhhhh", but if I was quiet, then how would the other kids know I was there so that we could play later? Sometimes Mommy and Daddy don't make much sense.

My favorite store is Lowes. I like going there because their carts are so fun. They even have a steering wheel so that I can drive!

Well, I have places to go and friends to see! I'll talk to you all later!

Been a long time!

Daddy finally had a couple minutes hanging around so he can now help me update my blog. There has been ALOT going on! Ive been trying new foods, starting to learn new things.. stuff like that. Big news! Dude, Ive got teeth! Like 6 of em! 2 on the bottom and 4 up top.. all up front. Every now and then while mommy and daddy feed me i bite down on the rubber spoon and wont give it back. Its pretty funny stuff. Makes me laugh pretty hard! One day mommy and daddy buckled me into the highchair and gave me... well.. mush. Tasted like banana, but looked and felt like mush. It was in my hair! In my pants!

Mommy, Daddy and Auntie Pat (daycare) have been helping me learn how to sit up on my own! That makes bath time SOO much cooler! I can splash and make a great big mess and mommy and daddy just laugh. Its a good time.

Guys, i am like this far (holding hands as wide apart as i can) from crawling! I can now get up on my knees and hands and rock back and forth... now if i can just figure out how to move forward, ill be in business! Mommy and daddy keep saying stuff like "we need to finish baby proofing"... what does that mean? I'm a baby.. isn't that proof enough? Maybe as i get older this talking thing will make more sense, cause right now, i don't get half the stuff they are saying!

The other day i "nailed" my arm on the side rail of the changing table. I don't know what "nailing" it means, but it hurt REALLY bad! I screamed and cried , like, well.. a baby. Daddy made a "mod - i - fi - cat - ion" to my changing table. Every one finds it funny know cause it looks like it can float. Now there is an idea for another day!

So winter is here, i guess. One day its really nice outside and a couple days later there is white stuff all over the place! Its always bouncing back and forth, never just stays one or the other... just warm - cold - warm - cold - jacket - no jacket - hat - no hat. Speaking of hats.. Mommy likes this hat on me... its crazy huge for my head but also keeps my little ears all cozy and warm when its cold out.

Santa!

Heres the pic of me sitting on this guy named Santas lap. He was really nice and soft spoken! And he even drives a red Chevy Silverado! So hes gotta be cool! But man, he looks scary in this picture! But i look cute dont I? (wink wink)
