Spinning Like a Top!

Last week, I added some new repertoire to my dancing skills. I still do the bouncing, but I have added spinning around, a little bit of swaying, patting my belly and shaking my butt. It's all very fun and sometimes I get so mixed up in what I am trying to do that I tend to fall down sometimes. Mommy can still get me to dance by singing "Single Ladies", mostly the uh, uh, oh part, but I will dance to any type of music that is playing. We even went to the store the other day and I was dancing for the ladies that worked there. They got a kick out of my bouncing, but most people do. Mommy caught me singing along with her the other day. I say the uh, uh, oh part with her when she sings it too. Also, we were reading a book and one of the questions asks, "What does the busy baby say" and they say "uh oh." If Mommy says uh oh before me I will repeat it after her and very clearly nonetheless. She thinks it's really cute.

Just a little plug for Mommy, she started a new website last week called www.livingmyMoMent.com. Check it out. It's a site for moms and those Moms who run their own businesses get free advertising on the site. If you know of any moms that have their own business and would like this kind of extra traffic to their site, please let Mommy know. She would be happy to add them.

Now, back to me. A couple weeks ago, Mommy thought she spotted a tooth coming in on the top, but apparently it is just not ready to pop through yet. It's been right on the cusp for a couple weeks now, but someone on the bottom decided to beat it through. The left lateral bottom incisor (did you catch all that ) is poking through just a little bit. This should make biting off pieces of food even easier than when I did it with just my gums and the four teeth that I already have. My teeth are taking their sweet ole time coming in. Oh the joys of teething.

Hopping Along!

Happy Easter to all! We just got done celebrating Easter at Grandma and Grandpa Plum's and boy is there a lot of candy that goes along with this holiday. I think that I am going to be on a sugar high for days, but I like it. This is the first holiday that I have now celebrated twice, but last year I was too little to enjoy the goodies that came along with it. The Easter bunny brought me some new crayons, new shoes for my fancy new dress, and of course a bunny! We went to church yesterday morning where Grandpa is the campus pastor and I got to play with some other little kids my age in the nursery. I think that Mommy was more worried about how it would go leaving me with people I didn't know but it was easy and I didn't even really notice that she was gone. I had a blast and Grandma and Grandpa even came to see me and I didn't care they were there either. Easter dinner was good and then I got another basket that I had to find with clues. It was fun, but I definitely like the presents that came inside and can't wait for more candy.

Two weeks ago, Mommy and I went to my first story time at the library. It's only for like 25 minutes but there is enough time to play with the other kids beforehand which is a lot of fun. The librarian reads a couple books, sings lots of songs, does things with puppets and it is very entertaining. We get to sit on these little round cushions and so far, both times, I have helped to put them away. I like to move things into boxes and if she let me, I would probably take them out too. Mommy likes it cause we get to get out of the house for a little while and to see other mommies with their kids.

Adding onto my moon walking, I have decided that it is very cool to spin around. This move can be a little difficult because I can't quite get my balance but it is fun to see how many times I can do it without getting too dizzy.

Last week, Mommy and I ventured up to Brecksville to celebrate Aunt Jessa's birthday. We had a blast and I got to play with Carmen, which is always good times. We played on the swingset and went down the slide, a lot. She always likes my toys and I don't mind cause then I have someone to play with. I really love going into Aunt Katy's room and will go in there even if I am by myself. I'm pretty sure it's because of all the pink in there and all the ducks she has but either way, it's a fun room and I like it. Mommy and I spent the night at Uncle Kenny's house and his house is fun because he has stairs that lead up to the mirror room. There are mirrors on either side of the wall and they are great to look at because I am in them. It's funny to see myself on one side and then turn around and there I am again.

Well, I'm worn out from all this traveling and candy, so I'm off to take a well needed nap.
