Meet My New Ducky!

Monday, October 6, 2008



Can you believe it? A giant rubber ducky! Ok, not quite, but he is pretty cool- if you squeeze his beak he quacks. It's my new bathtub, and I thought it was pretty funny. Now I get to chew on my rubber ducky while sitting in a ducky tub! I outgrew my infant tub, and after filling the big whirlpool tub just one time for my bath, mom decided she needed an alternative. I'm glad she found this, I bet my friends are jealous...

Sock Season

Ugh... It is sock season again. I am absolutely happiest when I am barefoot, but with this cold, wet weather mom has been putting those annoying cotton things on my feet. They are just no fun- I can no longer chew on my toes whenever I wish. I am obviously not happy about them, so I usually pull them off when mom isn't looking. Dad never notices when I'm missing a sock or two, but mom always does and puts them right back on. When is summer going to come back?

I HEART BANANAS

Thursday, October 2, 2008

Mom caved tonight. I have tried all of the veggies she made for me, and I loved the carrots and sweet potatoes. She has been really reluctant to give me fruits because she fears I have inherited her sweet tooth and will never eat another vegetable again. Well, tonight as she was trying to decide what to give me for supper she noticed that the bananas on the counter were getting a bit too ripe. And, because she won't eat a banana with even a spot of brown on the peel, and because she did not want to make banana bread in the midst of her apple strudel, apple sauce, and apple crisp she was cooking up, she decided to let me have a banana! She mashed half of one up and I ate it all. It was the sweetest, best thing I have ever tasted! Since I liked it so much, she mixed a bit more with my rice cereal and I finished that up too. I'm hoping she gives me the other one for breakfast tomorrow, I'll be dreaming of it all night:)

Daddy Loves Me!

Tuesday, September 30, 2008


Check out the new toy daddy bought me. It is a walker, and I love it! Mom can't take credit for this because she didn't even think they still made these- I guess they are dangerous near stairways. I can get myself pretty far on the wood floors, although you can usually catch me cruising backwards. My mom likes it because it conveniently folds down for travel- I took it to grandma's for the weekend!





SCOOTIN'

Friday, September 26, 2008

Okay, here is some video of me scooting! I have to want something pretty badly to go after it, so mom and dad tease me with remote controls and cell phones! I can get going pretty good, mom says I look like I am doing the "worm," not sure what that means, but I heard her saying that maybe Aunt Susie taught me????

ON THE MOVE!

Monday, September 22, 2008


I have been getting up on my hands and knees for over a week now. At first I just pushed myself up, then I started rocking back and forth, and now..... no, I am still not crawling! I get closer and closer every day, but it takes time you know. I did learn how to scoot around pretty good though. Mom's basket of magazines next to the couch is no longer safe. Nor is Mischa or any of her toys for that matter. I can go backward and forward to get what I want, and I am a pro at turning in circles! I suppose I'll be crawling by October which means dad really needs to put some locks on those kitchen cabinets. He did install a nice metal gate at the top of the stairs, poor Mischa can't figure out why she got banned from going down to the basement! Especially when she gets home from a run and just wants to get downstairs and lay on the cool floor. I hope one day she decides I was worth it:)







Love My Veggies!


In the last week I have found new foods added to my dinner menu. I have now had rice cereal, oatmeal cereal, sweet potatoes, and butternut squash. So far I am not picky- I'll take whatever they give me. I figure I have plenty of time to decide what I like and dislike. Tonight I am trying green beans though, not sure about that green mush. And I can't wait for the fruits, but mom says we still need to try peas, carrots, and avocado before I get the good stuff. Here is a picture of me after I finished a glorious dinner of squash and cereal. Don't worry, I am not always this messy, I was just a bit overtired this particular night and rubbed some squash into my eyes.
