Brecksville Bound!

Last weekend was Aunt Katy's 10th birthday party and Mommy and I took the drive up to Brecksville for her party. I got to show off my walking skills and terrorize the dog and the cat. It's hard being around animals that don't know you because all I wanted to do was pet them but I really wasn't allowed to cause they might have bit me. Oh well, I will say that the kitty was very intriguing. She reminded me of Shelly with all her long fur and plus we don't have one so she was extra interesting. On Saturday for Aunt KayKay's party, I got to play with Carmen for a little while before I had to go to bed. Grandpa told Mommy on Saturday morning that he is amazed at how well I sleep at other people's houses. He spoke too soon. I am known for sleeping 12-13 hours a night without getting up at all. Well on Saturday night, I woke up at around 11:00 pm and poor Mommy couldn't get me back to sleep until at least 1:30 or two. She tried everything and I just didn't want to have it. Let's just say that the next night we both slept great but were a little cranky during the day.

One new thing that I started to do while we were up in Brecksville is pointing. I apparently just want to know what everything little thing is now. At home, everyday I point and laugh at my new picture that is hanging on the wall. It is very exciting to see myself all over our house. Mommy is hoping that pointing and being inquisitive is a precursor for talking. I really still only babble, but I get really excited when I see or hear mention of a banana. Sometimes, if I don't get to eat a banana, I will scream nanananananana until I get it or am distracted by something else. I do understand what dada means and use it all the time except when talking to Daddy. Mommy thinks that's just great and maybe soon I will learn to understand the meaning of mama. She better know what she's getting into because once I learn that one I'm never gonna stop saying it.

I dare you to try and say goodbye to me now without me waving cause it's not gonna happen. I can wave with one hand or two, it just depends on my mood. Once I get started, I can do it for awhile. Mommy seems to think that I am learning new things everyday and she can't keep with up with them all. She tries to tape them, so check out the new videos and let us know what you think.
