I know, I know, I know. My mom tells me you are all giving her a hard time about me not posting in the last 4 months. I am SO sorry! I have been very busy growing up and this past couple of weeks traveling all over the country. My mom and I just got back from a trip to Virginia and Las Vegas to see family and friends. I had such a great time and my mom kept going on and on about how good I was and how proud she was of me. I had so much fun playing with my cousins and going swimming and playing with so many new toys. It has been 4 months so there is so much to catch up on. So here is a brief list of all that I've been up to just the last few months:
- I've gone from sitting sturdy, to scooting on my bootie, to crawling (at 9 months).
- I can pull myself up on anything, I especially like pulling up on mom's hair when she's playing with me. She gets mad about that for some reason.
- I said my very first word "DOGGIE", I've been saying it for months (even mom thinks so) but this time it was very clear and I said it when I first saw my doggie Bailey after missing her for 2 weeks while we were gone. My Dad, Mom and Uncle Benj hear it loud and clear. Finally - they understand me.
- I LOVE swimming. My mom says my skin doesn't love it as much as I do, but I had the best time swimming in my cousin's pool in Las Vegas. I really liked the day Uncle Marty was testing out the heater and the water was 100 degrees - it felt like bathtime!!! It was ok because, believe it or not, it was kind of chilly and windy that day so it felt really nice.
- I can wave hello and goodbye now. My mom first saw me do this when my friend Audrey came over to babysit me so my Mom could check out my new school for next year. We were very excited.
- I went to my first sporting event - the MLS team - Seattle Sounders on Mother's day. I'm really cute in my jersey.
- I can eat food with my own two hands now - I love Cheerios, peas, carrots and anything else I can pick up and smoosh with my hands and now, 4 teeth.
- Like my mom has been saying all along - I love music. I like to dance when I first hear my favorite CDs played.
- Me and my mom and dad have been going on lots of bike rides. My mom found a sweet deal on a trailer for me to ride in and we've been hitting the trails up ever since. Our goal is to ride around a San Juan this summer. (I'm not sure what that is.....)
That is about it. As you can see, I've been really busy growing up here. I will be 1 year old in just 1 1/2 months!!! Can you believe it?? My mom and dad can't. :)
Enjoy some of these pictures - Love Love to all!!
