What a week!

This has been a really big week for me. I've learned lots of new things.

You remember from 2 weeks ago when I was just getting my molars, 3 of them all at the same time? Well, they're in now, and boy am I enjoying using them! Much to Daddy's delight, I have discovered the wonderful taste of chicken, beef, and pork, which I didn't like too much before (since I couldn't chew them very well) but now I can't cram the pieces in fast enough. You should see some of the bites I try to take! Mommy says I eat like Daddy. That makes Daddy pat my head and tell me how much he loves me!

I'm getting much better on my waving. I used to just wave at everything, but now I usually limit my waving to say "hi" or goodbye". I'm really starting to get the hang of it.

I am also working on my words, and my last challenge is learning to say "Hi". I'm getting it! Sometimes it comes out sounding a little more like "Ha", which Daddy says must be my Oklahoma accent. He's silly!

Two weeks ago I learned to crawl up steps, but now I even can crawl up on the fireplace at home. I'm very cute sitting up on the fireplace, but at first I didn't really know how to get down, so Mommy and Daddy had to help me. But now I think I've got the hang of that too!

I have also found out that if I shake the maraca I've got, Mommy and Daddy will do a little dance for me. But when I stop shaking, they stop! Then they'll start again when I start again. It's very funny and makes me giggle.

I'm really having a lot of fun playing with Mommy and Daddy. If they leave the shower door open, I like to crawl inside and try to hide from them. But they always find me, after which I let out a big laugh and squeal! It's so fun. I'm really getting better at rolling a ball too!

I've also learned that Mommy's teddy bear "Pookie" is very soft and huggable. When I see him I let out a little laugh and then grab him and give him a BIG hug! Mommy and Daddy think this is very adorable of course.

Like I said, it's been a big week!
