Moon Walking!

Well, I'm not quite as good as Michael Jackson, but I've started to walk backwards a lot. I started this new trick the other day and most of the time I don't know where I'm going so I run into things. Even though, I hit the wall every time, it cracks me up and I just laugh it off cause it's so silly. Mommy thinks that I am crazy and that it is funny because when I do it, I'm sneaky about it. Along with the backwards walking, I make sure that I run into Mommy and fall down on her. That's fun too. Who knew what you could do with this walking business?

The bathroom has also become an intriguing place to explore. First off, there is this white paper on a roll that is so fun to pull on. For some reason, Mommy knows every time that I touch it cause she comes in and puts it up high where I can't reach it. Another thing that is fun to do in the bathroom is pulling down all my bath toys off the toilet onto the floor where I make a big mess for someone else to clean up . I have also discovered that the basket that holds the magazines is perfect for climbing into and out of a lot. This morning I kept Daddy company while he was in the bathroom and I climbed in and out of the that thing like ten times. It is the perfect size for my little body.

Even though Gammy calls Mommy "Dooville" because she used to be very busy and do do do everything, I think it might be time to pass the title on to me. Mommy is convinced that I never sit when I am awake which could be why I sleep so much (not complaining). I have found another cabinet upstairs in the office that has a lot of things that are fun to pull out, especially ribbon that needs to be unraveled everywhere. There are drawers in the kitchen that I empty every time I pass them and toys in boxes that go all over the floor. Next, Mommy thinks we need to work on putting things away, but for now I'm having too much fun pulling everything out.

I Can See Clearly Now!

The other day, Mommy and I took a trip to the Women's center at the hospital to weigh me on their baby scale for the last time. At my last doctor's appt., Dr. Matt said that I had to weigh at least 20 pounds to be turned around in my car seat, so Mommy was hoping that I didn't lose more weight this month. Of course, I had to be difficult and just make the 20 pound cut off at 20lbs and 1 ounce. And Mommy thinks my diaper was sort of full and I had just eaten lunch, so we might be pushing it but it'll be ok.

We got my new car seat into the car and although I haven't actually used it yet, I'm very comfortable with it, because it has been in the sunroom waiting to be install. I put my baby in it and I love the way it feels because it is velvety and soft. We'll let you know how my first car ride go sitting front way when it happens.

Mommy and Daddy got a nice couple of nights out this weekend, when the bestess aunt in the world came and stayed with us for the weekend. Aunt Jessa and I played a lot this weekend, while Mommy and Daddy got to watch the NCAA tournament with friends. Mommy was especially excited because it's been awhile since she has been out with adults and without me. Mommy and Daddy really appreicate the help they get on short notice from everyone. It really does allow them to be adults once in awhile.

With all this nice weather we've been having, Mommy, Shelly and I have been going on walks. Shelly just loves the fact that she gets to go outside on a walk. I love it because then I can walk on my own without a stroller and I can pick up all the sticks on the sidewalk and carry them around. On one of our walks the other day, I stopped every couple of feet so that I could pick up sticks and then also move leaves from one side of the sidewalk to the other. I feel the need to clean up nature on my walk. Luckily, I haven't eaten anything on our walk, though I did try to put a rock in my mouth. What can I say, they look tasty.

Next week, Mommy and I are going to storytime at the Library for their Spring session. I'm sure that I will like it and I'm sure that I will try and hug all the other kids. We'll let you know how that goes. Happy Springtime everyone!

Springtime or Pee Time?

Now that it is almost Spring and we are getting a few nice days here and there, Mommy and I gone a few walks around the neighborhood and she doesn't even take the stroller. She lets me walk around the sidewalks on my own. When Aunt Jessa was here last weekend we walked to the playground at the school by our house and went down the slides. I'm not sure about how fast you can go down those things cause it was kind of scary but I didn't cry, I just made faces. Shelly is also excited that she is able to go on walks now because it is warmer and she cries a lot to go outside. We have fun walking around and I only fall a couple times when we are out there but it's not my fault that the sidewalks are uneven.

Last Thursday, Mommy and I took a short road trip down to Cincinnati to visit Grandma, Gammy and Gappy for the day. We just hung out at there and visited. It was nice to get out and do something different. I, of course, made a huge mess and pulled lots of things out and wanted to touch all of Gammy's pretty things. They are right at my eye level and are very enticing. Then on Friday, Aunt Jessa came to visit and we went to the mall and ate dinner out which we haven't done in forever. It was fun and I was aloud to walk around at the mall for a little bit myself. I'm sort of liking this freedom thing but somehow someone always catches me and picks me up. It's like I'm too fast for them or something. Who knows?

I am finally not a jack-o-lantern anymore because I got my 2nd top tooth last week. It's still just poking through a little bit, but at least you can see it when I smile. Mommy says that my top teeth look huge so that may be why they took forever to come in.

Mommy got me my own little potty awhile ago just so that I would have it in the house. I get to sit on it right before bath time just to practice, but it's really cold and I don't like being naked sitting on the potty. The first time that I tried it, I peed in it and Mommy was so excited and she showed Daddy. I could have cared less, but I'm glad that Mommy was happy. I'm pretty sure I did it by accident because I have only gone one other time on it for Daddy last week. It is kind of fun not having to pee in my diaper, so we'll see if I do it again.

Everyone wish Daddy Happy Birthday cause tomorrow he turns the big 2-9. Only one more year till he really is an old man. haha, just kidding. Love you!
