Baby and His Dogs: April 2005

Stairs

My parents have to get me a new baby gate... this time for the stairs. I always crawl up them when I get a chance. I've even climbed up the whole flight by myself twice. I can't climb back down, though, so my parents have to block it off from me. :(

My top two middle teeth are coming out! They've been coming out for awhile, but now you can clearly see them. I left my teeth marks in daddy's arm once.

When Jolie is chewing on her bone and mommy tries to take it away, Jolie growls at mommy, but when I try to take it away, she doesn't growl at all!! This has happened many times now. Mommy is a bit offended, but at the same time very proud and happy that Jolie knows how to treat me. Isn't that funny?

going up the stairs is always so much fun!

ooh, the tile is so interesting...

tried the front door but no luck!

look at how big my two bottom teeth are!

I still love bath time!

I think mommy should get me a real bath toy... but this will do for now

Visit From My Aunts

On Saturday, I had 3 visitors: Aunt Nari, Aunt Elaine, and Aunt Esther. It was so much fun. They were crazy! They danced, they sang, they played with my toys... they had so much energy. They even wanted to wake me up after I went to bed so we could all play some more! They made mommy and me laugh. It was so good to have them come over. I want to play with them again!

my piano looks so fun

What I Do These Days

Here is what is going on with me these days:

I still love eating Cheerios.

I stick out my tongue a lot. My dad calls me Michael Jordan.

I have a new game with Jolie. She buries herself underneath a big cushion, and I like to hit the part where she's underneath. When I see her move or bounce the cushion back, I laugh or scream, and then I hit her again. Sometimes, I'll try to touch a part of her body that is sticking out from under the cushion. It's a new favorite game with her. She always starts it first!

My eye hand coordination is getting much better so I can see all the little crumbs that my dogs leave behind after they eat their kibble, and I pick them up and put it in my mouth! I always make a face, but I still do it anyway! My mommy has to sweep my mouth and take it out. She's also vacuuming a lot more, but she can't keep up with all the crumbs they leave behind. I've also managed to take one whole kibble from their dish and put it in my mouth twice. (My mommy got it out, don't worry.)
