A look into our world

Yesterday while Mommy and I were at Walmart, we picked out this new sippy cup for me. The one I had was okay, but Mommy didn't think it was the best one for me. So we thought we'd give this one a try. Well, we made a good choice because I really like it! Mommy and Dad helped me with it for a little bit. Then they set it down in front of me and I gave it a go. The following pictures show what I did all by myself.

I drank the water and everything! I got lots of praise from my parents. Sometimes you have to be careful with sippy cups, though, cause the water comes out of there kinda fast. It's easy to choke. I do pretty good, though. I sure like my new cup!

My Dad is so much fun to play with! We have a great time together. Every day when he comes home from work, I am so excited to see him! I smile real big, and then we play lots and lots. What a good Daddy I have.

Notice my new top tooth coming through!
Just me lookin' cute :)

Today is Grandma Lou's birthday! In honor of her, I thought I'd post a picture of us from when I was two weeks old. Do I even look like the same baby?!? I hope you have a great day, Grandma Lou. I love you!!

As of this morning, I am an official crawler!!! Mommy was in on the computer, and Dad and I were in the living room. Dad called into Mommy and said, "I think he's getting the hang of this." Mommy came out just in time to see me for-real crawling! She got the video camera out and began rolling, so my first "crawls" are on tape (don't worry, Grandparents, you will get a copy :) ). Mommy said something about plug covers and keeping the floors super clean all the time - it's like they think their world is going to change!
And here I am playing with my music toy that Grandma Lou and Grandpa Jere got me for Christmas. It makes all kinds of music and is super fun to play with. My cousin Jamey came over yesterday to play, and he really liked playing with it too. I had fun sharing my toys with him.

Bathtime is one of my favorite times of the day. I love the warm water and playing with my bath toys. They are, of course, very fun to chew on.

Here I am playing for a little bit in my room before I got dressed this morning. If you could "hear" these next three pictures, you would hear lots of high-pitched squealing. Ever since yesterday, I love high-pitched squealing. It's my favorite noise to make right now. That, and "da-da-da-da-da-da". Of course my Dad loves that :)
Now that I'm getting mobile, I'm getting into a few more things. Here I am trying to pull on the basket on my changing table. Everything is just so interesting!
And here's my latest trick - getting into a push-up position on my hands and feet. It's my new favorite. Whenever I get on my belly, I go straight to my knees and then to this position. Then back down, and kick-kick-kick...then back up, etc. It's very good for the muscles; you should try it sometime!
