En fuego!

Walking is progressing crazily! I toddle along quite a bit now - I can make it several feet before I fall. And I do it more often than I used to. I'm getting to be a real kid instead of a baby!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Steps on film!

Today I walked three steps towards Mommy when she had her video camera on. Obviously I waited to do this until it was dark and thus the light and video quality was crappy. I'm not going to make it tooooooo easy!

Also in this video I am doing another thing I have been doing lately, which is trying to chew on the thing in the middle of my toy table that spins around. Yeah, I don't know either.

Oh and also? If you notice, I am wearing my 'Baby's first Thanksgiving' outfit. You might be thinking, 'Huh? It is not Thanksgiving yet, is it?' No! It isn't. But today Mommy and I went to a Thanksgiving PARTY at her friend Gil's house. It was fun.

Nothing is open on Veterans Day...

...including my school! So I got to stay home with Mommy and Sky King (he was flying through on his way to Florida). We wanted to go to the museum, but it was not open. We wanted to go to a park, but it rained! Instead, my friend Ike came over, because he didn't have school either!
He played with my train.


We did some reminiscing about the Exersaucer (I don't play in this much anymore because - why sit still when I could move around??). Look how much taller he is than me. He is only 9 months older than me which, in the grand scheme of things is not that much, right? But in baby time?? That is HUGE!


We went in the Buggletrail.



And we played with my ball table thingie.



It was fun. Later that day I went for a walk with Daddy, Mommy and Sky King and the two doggies. I talked to everyone while we were walking.

Walking... coming soon!

Yesterday, Mommy and I went over to my friend Juliana's house to play. Mommy wanted me to show Julianna's Mommy how I could stand up all by myself. So Mommy put me down on the floor so I could show her. Sometimes Mommy thinks I am a performing pony or something, just here to show off all of my tricks. Geez.

Anyhow, I thought I'd mix it up a little bit, so I took two steps towards her. The Mommies both almost had a heart attack, I think. I don't know what the big deal is - I've been walking with my walking toy for a while now. Didn't she think I'd figure out how to do it without it?? Here are a few videos of that that I have been meaning to put up.

This one was the first time I really went crazy with the walking toy, about 3 weeks ago. Up until then, Mommy or Daddy had been slowing it down for me because they thought it was too fast for me. I guess I showed them!

As you could see in the first video, I am able to steer if I want to, or get unstuck when I run into things. However, my ability to do this is severly compromised when I am tired. This video was taken a couple of days later, but right before my bedtime.

Mommy has been trying to get me to take a few steps again but I'm not going to cooperate. I am my own boss!

I've got this pillow and I know how to use it

Mommy and Daddy have a couch that has little pillows on it. Clearly they do not grasp the concept of pillows, because pillows are for sleeping on! I had to show them what to do.

Buggle = Gerbil

Mommy and Daddy bought me a new toy a few weeks ago. Its a Playhut. Mommy says it looks like a Habitrail gerbil cage. It is a little house with two tunnels that go off of it. I love to crawl in it!

Ooh! Here I am looking into one of the tunnels.


Got in!


Hey, wait! Someone else likes my Habitrail!


I'm going to get her.


Oops! I think she got me instead! Ow!


(She actually really got me in the face with her back claw and Mommy happened to get a picture at the exact moment of impact!)
