Happy New Year!!
Time flies when you're having fun!!! Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Polar Bear Swim, not to mention all the new things I have figured out. Christmas and Thanksgiving were so nice. I really enjoyed seeing my family, and all the new toys...whoa....I got a bike seat and a wagon. I love going on bike rides with Daddy and Stella. I sit back and enjoy the wind in my hair while Stella zig-zags in front of us. New Years was fun, too. I had my first sleepover with Grandaddy and Grandma. It was so much fun. I can't tell you all the fun stuff we did, because I know my nosey Mom reads this. Ask my Grandma, she'll tell you! I have also experienced my first Polar Bear swim.....talk about madness. I guess it is much more fun when you actually participate, maybe next year.
I am doing so many new things now. Still crawling and pulling up on everything. I am getting braver and will let go for a few seconds. Exploring is pretty much my top priority everyday. I love to crawl under things (the table, chairs etc) and play peek-a-boo with Mom. I talk alot, but I don't think anyone understands what I am saying, so then I scream really loud...that usually gets their attention. I like to scream when we are in stores, too. Mommy gets the funniest look on her face. I know she is trying to ignore it, but inside she is mortified!! Occasionally, I like to wow Mom and Dad and toss out a da-da-da or ma-ma. One day I even said dog, well pretty close, but I pointed to a picture of a dog at the same time. Funny, I haven't been able to make that connection, since. I guess I am just warming up!
Stella is probably my #1 toy. I just love grabbing her fur, and trying to get into her water bowl when Mom and Dad are not looking. CoCo (the cat) and I have yet to bond. One day we had a face-off at the cat door. CoCo was on one side and I was on the other. He scratched my hand. What a jerk. Mom seems to really like him, though.
I love to eat. I devour pretty much anything Mom puts into my mouth. Except spinach, and she has tried numerous times. I love to feed myself, and then Stella.
I just turned 10 months old so we'll see what exciting things happen this month...could it get any better??? I'll let you know!! Take Care and check back soon!!!
I have had lots of adventures and have learned so many new things these past 9 months. The first couple of months were a little strange - lots of sleeping, eating and pooping. I think we (mom, dad, stella, coco and myself) found our groove around 3-4 months or so. I started sleeping through the night, and mom put me in my very own room to sleep. Now I don't have to listen to Dad snoring, thank goodness!!! Around 5 months Mom started feeding me cereal, and I also cut my first tooth. I now have 5 teeth, and have an enormous appetite. I love everything so far except spinach....I have a feeling Mom is going to try and sneak it in again, but she won't fool me!! I started rocking back and forth on my hands and knees when I was about 6mos, and today I am full speed ahead crawling all over the house and Stella!!! Crawling is pretty cool! I like to crawl towards things that I can pull up on and just look around. Sometimes I get stuck, but usually I can manage to get down, and even pick up a toy while still standing.
I will turn 9 months old tomorrow, and I can't wait to see what happens next!!!! I will return to my blog soon, and post some of my favorite pictures.
