You want me to eat with what?

Lately when I eat, mommy keeps putting my food in this funny round thing on the table. I like it because it's fun to turn it over and watch all my food fall on the table. Mommy keeps telling me, "Keep your bowl on the table." Whatever!

Mommy has also started giving me these funny toys to put my food on. They are kind of neat. One of them I can use to stab my bananas and eat them. Mommy and daddy have to help me some, but I love to try and do it by myself. Last night mommy and daddy tried to show me how to use a spoon. I kept trying to tell them that I can do it by MYSELF! I did really well for my 1st time with a spoon. I think I'll have the hang of it soon. Mommy was there with her camera (of course!), so you can watch me below!

Catch y'all later!

What am I up to these days?

I have been having a lot of fun. I am an avid crawler. I crawl on my knees on the carpet and I crawl on my hands and feet when I crawl on hard surfaces. Mommy says that I look like I could just stand up and walk away at any moment!




I can pull up and stand on just about anything and love to walk back and forth while holding onto the couch and try to get my kitty! My kitty always hisses and tries to hit me and I just copy him and hit the couch too! He's so funny and I think he's fun to play with! Mommy is always telling me that my kitty doesn't want to play with me, but I think he does!



I have been sleeping pretty well. Most nights I will sleep from 8pm until 6:15am! Yay! Mommy is always telling me that she likes it when I'm a good sleeper! I have definitely had some moments though where I don't sleep so well.


I have been eating all sorts of real foods these days! I am all done with that baby food stuff, but mommy keeps trying to sneak it in. I just hit the spoon away and it's actually pretty funny when food goes flying everywhere. I don't think that mommy and daddy think it's very funny. I LOVE to eat something called Pirates Booty! It's kind of like a puffed rice and it has veggie flavoring on it. Mommy says it taste like nothing, but I just can't get enough of it! I'm a pirate...arrrrgh! I also eat chicken, sweet potato fries, french fries, watermelon, cantaloupe, plums (I love plums!), cookies, green beans (Italian style), Cheerios, Teddy Grahams, and even roast beef! I do like oranges, but mommy says I just can't have them...they mess up my tummy and my face turns red and rashy! Boo hoo!



I can crawl so well that mommy and daddy made the living room into my playroom. They put up these neat gates with doors on them. The only thing wrong with them, is that I can't figure out how to open them and I'm stuck in the living room! Oh well, I do like to sit in there and play with my toys while mommy and daddy fix me food or cook...they don't cook much though! They are always taking me out to different restaurants. That's ok though...the other night I got to see the Robin at Red Robin! He was a BIG bird and I got to touch his beak and show him all my tricks! I clapped for him, raised my arms, waved, and did my "What's going on?" look with my hands. I do like to go to restaurants, so many people to entertain and wave at. At night, before my bath, mommy and daddy let me crawl all the way up the stairs! They think it might make me tired, but boy are they wrong! :) Below is a video of me crawling up the stairs! I am so big!



Well I gotta go for now! I will write more soon. I have to tell you about my trip to Nana's with mommy!

It's been a while!


Sorry it has been so long since I posted on here! I have just been having so much fun! Hmmm, let's see what has happened since I last posted in June.

4th of July-I had a lot of fun. Mommy and Daddy took me to a neighbor's house to cook out. I wasn't much for the burgers, but I did have fun chasing all the girls around in the cul-de-sac in my walker! I was the ONLY boy there with about 8 girls! Awesome! I caught them too! I even got to drive my friend's Escalade.
