September Already?

Wow, what a week! I gave Mommy lots of opportunities to showcase all my new skills and she gave me lots of opportunities to try new foods... What does this mean for all of you????? VIDEOS and PICTURES of course!

I have learned that I love spaghetti(obviously a diaper only event), pizza (although this took a bit to get used to), and grilled cheese. Let's face it, I love food! I even try (continuously) to eat Daisy's food. Mommy says this grosses her out and I have officially been banned from the kitchen on a regular basis. Mommy also feels blessed that I am not picky, but has a hard time telling when I'm full enough. She seems to think I would eat all day long if I were allowed!

Even during snack (which started in a bowl), I stay busy!

I also had a great week of entertaining Mommy and Daddy with my "lil' Indian call", lots of kisses, playing with Daisy (tug-o-war), getting in my bumbo all by myself (sort of), pointing at things, using some basic sign language ("more" and "milk"), and WALKING. Yes, I have learned to take a few steps, although it still makes me slightly nervous and I am a bit cautious. Mommy and Daddy can't believe how big I am getting and are so proud. Oh, btw, I am cutting tooth 8 FINALLY and am in a much better mood these days and sleeping like a champ! After 9.5 months, I will now give Mommy 8-11 hours and I'm a good napper.

"Lil Indian:"

Pounding on the glass quickly turned into a kissing game with my "Dada."
I have been sharing kisses for a while now, but I have decided to be more generous than usual this week :)

In other news, Daddy is going to look at houses!! I am so excited to get a new bedroom and a BIG closet. (I have to have somewhere to put all these fabulous clothes my fans buy for me!) Mommy says I will even have more room for my toys, can you believe it?? Daisy will get a proper yard, and I have also been promised a swing set in my future. I'm not quite sure what this is but I like to swing, so I'm guessing it's good!

Daddy loves to "fix" my hair!

We hope you all have a fabulous week. Next week we'll have lots to fill you in on. Daddy will be back from the big house hunt and we are taking a mini vacation to the Southern coast. Because of this, Monday's post will likely be late or early Tuesday. Finally, I saved the walking video for last. A huge milestone to my fast approaching "toddlerhood." You can also see a bit of my fascination with pointing!

Love to you all,
