Monday was Mommy's birthday! She's 29 years old! That's ANCIENT!Next week it's my Great Uncle Greg's birthday. He'll be 10 1/2 and boy, is he big for his age! Daddy says Greg is a Leap Year baby, whatever that means.Anyway, since they're so close together, we had a combined birthday party for Mommy and Greg at Greg's house last Saturday. We had lots of cake and ice cream and I got to see my second cousins Camryn, Jenny and Caroline. Granddaddy read a book to me and Caroline at the same time (he has two knees, you know!) There's a picture of all of us below. On Monday, Mommy's REAL birthday, it was a holiday, so Granddaddy babysat for me while Daddy went shopping and bought Mommy bunches of balloons, flowers and other stuff. They went out to eat Monday night and Mommy got a big pork chop and Daddy got a steak. I only have one tooth, so they won't let me have any leftovers! But, they are feeding me more stuff from the table and I feel like a big girl when I get to eat what the big people are eating! Grammy says she doesn't know where I put it all!My latest trick is climbing up stairs, so Daddy and Granddaddy put up a gate to keep me from leaving the den. I don't understand why they were so happy to see me climb stairs and now they won't let me do it! Grownups are strange!See you later!
Yep, I turned Ten Months Old today! Ain't I somethin'?The folks and I went over the river to Granddaddy and Grammy's yesterday to watch the Super Bowl together. It was lots of fun, but I spent most of the time crawling around on the floor, trying to pick up pieces of lint and put them in my mouth without anyone seeing me! Grammy calls me her little vacuum cleaner!Now that I'm old, I get to have big people food from the table, like crackers and banana bits and my favorite, SMASHED POTATOES! (look at me eating them below) I specially like chasing things around on my high chair tray, trying to pick them up. This sure beats that stuff in those little jars!I like to climb up on things so I can see better. Sometimes I fall down, but I get up again (hey, that could be a song!) Daddy went back to work today, but his tummy still doesn't feel good all the time. Mommy stayed home with me yesterday because her ear hurt. I have to stay healthy so I can take care of them!I learned how to untie my shoes and even undo the Velcro straps, so Mommy found me some Nikes that I can't get out of! But, I'll keep trying!Hey, guess what? I'm going to have a brand-new cousin this fall! Aunt Christy and Uncle Daniel liked playing with me so much during Christmas that they asked the stork to bring them a baby, too! I'm so excited! I'll have to teach him or her the ropes when he or she gets here!Thanks for stopping by and keep warm. It's cold outside!
Granddaddy had the day off from work today so he babysat for me! He taught me how to play the Pots and Pans! (see picture below) It was fun making lots of noise! It's been really warm here. Today, Granddaddy and I swung on the front porch swing. He even let me hang from a branch on a tree (just for a few seconds, though). He says I'll be trying to climb that tree before I know it!Grammy's best friend in Birmingham drew a picture of me and it's hanging in her dining room. Everytime I see it, I point and say, "Bay-bee!" She's really a good artist!I've learned how to do the "commando crawl" now, so I can go just about anywhere I want on my tummy. Sometimes I work myself into a corner and can't get out! My favorite thing to do is to find little strings or tags on things and try to pull them off! Mommy likes to play "peek-a-boo" with me and Daddy likes to feed me things from the table when Mommy's not looking! (don't tell her, but last week I had some chicken noodle soup!)My hair's getting real long and they may have to cut it soon. I hope that doesn't hurt!Nitey-nite!
