Hello all! I've been away for a while. I was able to visit all my grandparents for a week. Yes, I was away from home for a whole week! Mommy and daddy did not know what to do with themselves! When I came back, mommy noticed I was doing funny things with my tongue...
We can only guess that a tooth may soon appear. I sure am gnawing and slobbering a lot, but no other signs of a tooth yet. I must say, I have not been myself so mommy and daddy are trying lots of stuff to help me out. I get to eat yummy popsicles, chew on frozen washcloths, play with ice, and gum teethers and foods. Occasionally, I can have my paci "chilled" even when it is not sleepy time. Isn't that sweet?
Mmm...cherry's my favorite!
I couldn't grab the ice cubes for the life of me, but it felt good to put my cold fingers in my mouth!
The best and most fashionable teething ring of all!
The closest I'll get to a piercing in a long time!
Mias want a cracker?
Getting Around
It didn't take me long to put the pedal to the metal, baby. I cruise around like a speed demon. My favorite spot is the kitchen by the sliding glass door for many reasons: it is completely out of eyesight from the living room, usually has some pet lounging in the sun, and the VENT! If I'm lucky, I can feel the cold air coming out of the vent and am totally fascinated by that! I look like a super model striking my pose!
The kitchen is also a fabulous place because I am on a mission to pull up on the sliding glass door. Let's just say it is a work in progress... and many battle wounds to come. So yes, I am pulling up now and I feel so big and tall. My favorite place to pull up is my lights and sound bench. Of course, it is probably the most unsafe thing for me to use for pulling up, but that's what makes it fun, right? Mommy helps me pull up on shelves and daddy helps me pull up on the sofa. You know, sturdy things for me to test my balance. And to that I say, "no thanks."
Uh hello, this is my work bench...
Just doing my daily exercises. Can't start too young!
Book Worm
I am loving books and pictures! I make noises and point to the characters in the story. It is my job to turn the pages, and I take that job pretty seriously. In fact, there is no point in reading the whole thing sometimes because it just slows me down.
Painting
The other night, I painted and tasted my first work of art. I must say, if turning pages doesn't work out, I have a back up plan. Please, let me know your color scheme and I'll paint you something real nice. I bring a whole new meaning to abstract art!
Swimming
Last weekend, we went swimming in the biggest bath tub I have ever seen! It was so much fun. Mom tried to put my ladybug float in the pool and I was having none of that. That thing freaks me out! It can't even be near me. I did like splashing and gliding in the water. Gotta work on keeping my mouth closed, though.
Staying home
Peyton and I are getting pretty tight. He has a good understanding that I am the boss. I'm just kidding! He does love to watch me play and act goofy which I think is just great. I play this game with him while he is trying to take a nap. I scream "DA!" and he answers me. (In a not so nice tone...) Mommy got a double stroller so we can go on walks.
