The Mighty Baby

Here I am post-nap today, all happy and rocking my crib rails. Don’t worry, the rails are usually raised higher so that I don’t pull a Jackie Chan flip outta my crib.

Mom and Dad got a stupid piece of junk mail from an insurance agent today, and decided to have fun with it. I, however, am not amused. What kind of warped family am I stuck with?!

I will be walking on my own within 2 weeks. I’m already a steady stander. With the help of big people (whose backs now ache), I can walk/run all over the house. I’m a speed demon in my walker. I took a step on my own today, when Daddy let go and pushed me to Mommy. And vice versa. I can go from sitting to kneeling. I haven’t quite figured out how to pop from kneeling to standing yet, but I will soon. It’s so exciting!

Working on my bar etiquette tonight. One is never too young to demand good and fast service. Forget about chatting with the bartender. Just give me a drink, I’m thirsty!

Mommy been sick with the coughing-sneezells all weekend, so my silly pop has been taking care of me.  Now, I think I’m not supposed to have fun unless mom is there to see me smile, so don’t tell her how much I laughed and smiled this weekend with dad!  He’s so silly!

I’ve been walking a lot lately, with some help from the big people. I heard that my pops walked around 8-1/2 months and my mom was also an early walker. So hopefully I’ll be racing around on my own soon. Tonight, after mom popped me up onto the bed rails, I stood all by myself for about 10 minutes! Then I fell down and go boom.

I had my first piece of steak tonight. Here I am, gumming away. Mmm mmm good!

Moms everywhere rock! Here I am, unwinding after a day of celebrating with all my relatives. Had a great time, and I got more presents than anyone else. And I’m not even a mom!
