New way of sleeping

Daddy and Mommy are so puzzled by my new sleeping habits that they thought I needed to share them. For those who know my history of sleeping, I have always been known to sleep on my back, hands behind my head, elbows out and never move. Now when I am put in my crib, I immediately flip over and get into the position seen below. Mommy wonders how I don't have a crick in my neck each morning.

When Mommy lays me down for a nap, I play this game where I giggle and grab Baby, DogDog and the glowworm and try to stand up and play, no matter how tired I am. Mommies lets me do this for awhile hoping I go to sleep which I do most of the time. One day she forgot to turn the monitor on and after and hour checked on me and heard clicking noises over the monitor - noises she associated with me shaking the crib. She checked on me and this is how she found me. The noises we me trying to keep my head up against the crib.


Happy sleeping!

Happy Mother's Day!

Friends

Hi everyone! I wanted to show you some friends I have made recently and captured on film. The first is Ms. Kelly and Mr. Jim's horses. They are very new to their farm. There is a mommy and a baby horse. The mommy let us near her but I wasn't quite sure what to think of her. Ms. Kelly said one day I can come help her with them when I am older. The horses aren't named yet so I will let you know when they have names.

My next friend is a box that came in the mail for Ms. Abby. Mommy had a shower at her house for Ms. Abby and her baby girl who is coming very soon. This box had gifts in it for her, but I got to play in it before the shower and had so much fun! Mommy would push me around the room in it like it was my own car. That was the best box!

My next friends I have become pretty attached to - baby and dogdog or doggie. They sleep with me and I wake up playing with them. I normally have to leave my bed with one of them in hand. I also have added the glowworm to this company and have learned how to push his tummy to make him sing and glow, but I don't have a picture of him.

My last friend has been around awhile, Bear. I think he finally likes me. I have learned how to feed him snacks so he comes near me more often. Sometimes I tease him with a snack and then stick it in my mouth, but Mommy said this is not nice.


So those are my new friends for the week. Hug your friends today!
Much Love,

Bumps and Bruises

Hello everyone! I have been playing. What have you been doing?

I have been trying to scoot and walk so much that I have taken a beating doing it. I have fallen pretty hard on the asphalt and aggregate and hit our coffee table too. One of the falls even resulted in a scraped nose with blood. In these pictures I have a fat lip, goose egg on my forehead and a black eye. Mommy had a hard time getting over all of these so we are just now showing everyone.

I can now scoot so fast and have taken some independent steps on my own but won't let go of Mommy or Daddy's one finger. They say I will do it when I am ready. I also am increasing my vocabulary daily. I love to watch the airplanes that fly over our house and say "Pane" each time. I even point out the birds overhead and say "Bur". Mommy's favorite new word is "Abby" which comes out like this "AAHH BEE". I have added expressions to my list - yea and woo - which come out in a scream of some sort. Whenever I do something good, Mommy and Daddy say "yea" so now I say it all the time because I think I deserve it. Don't you?

This week I have been working on a few new teeth - one on the bottom right with no mate on the other side and two top molars - for a grand total of 7! However, my bottom is sore from the rash all this teething is causing.



Enjoy the day!
Much Love,
