August 23, 2007...Hey everybody! I turned 14 months old today! My mommy can't believe I'm getting so big. Well, the most exciting thing that has happened in my life lately is that I'm WALKING!!! It is so much fun. I love to walk! I especially love to follow my mommy around everywhere she goes...from one room to the next. I still only have 4 teeth...but there are two slowly inching their way in on top. I still like to eat all the time...no new favorite foods recently. I love to be read to and look at books on my own. My current favorites are Curious George and the Rocket; Mommy, Carry Me Please; Quack, Quack; Frog in the Kitchen Sink; Pat the Bunny; My Puppy Friends; and Animal Kisses. I still love listening to music and being sung to. It makes me dance! My favorite songs are The Itsy Bitsy Spider; Head, Shoulders, Knees, & Toes; Hello, Everybody; and Bruce Springsteen's Pay Me My Money Down. I am always trying to get ahold of my stereo (so I can take the CD out), remote controls, Mommy & Daddy's phones and i-pods, and the computer & printer. They are pretty fascinating items, and it drives Mommy & Daddy crazy! I'm still not really talking yet, but I know what lots of things are. I have certain routines. When I wake up, I need to wave to all of my animals. I know them all by name. When Daddy comes home, he has to show me where Bo (his bobblehead Michigan coach) and Gnomie (a Michigan gnome) are so that I can wave to them. At night when it's bathtime, I like to climb the stairs, go into the bathroom, and press on the duckie's beak to hear him quack. I can wave, stick out my tongue, clap, dance, and pucker up to make kissing sounds on command. I am especially into waving at everyone and everything. I love to play peekaboo and cover up my face with my hands. I also like to hide things, and then put my hands up as if to say, "Where did it go?" I love to take things out of containers, drawers, the dishwasher, and the hamper, and then put them back. I can really throw a ball. I am learning so many things every day. The world is so amazing! Here are some pictures of me on my 14 month birthday.Here are a few of my famous monkey pictures. I
had just woken up, so I look a bit sleepy.
Getting into my stereo & playing with my Jack puzzle.
I still look a lot like Daddy.
Here are some action walking shots. Mommy hopesto get a video of me walking on my blogspot soon. For
now, you will just have to use your imagination.
I've got two of my favorite things...Mommy's cell & Tonka!
