I, the honorable Baybee K.T., Empress of the Northwest, Queen of Green Beans and Duchess of Diaperville, command you to pay your respects to myself upon this, my EIGHT MONTH birthday!!!!
Okay, people. Lay off. I know that I'm a couple of days late. I've had issues as of late.
I had my second cold in, like, three weeks. What is up with that? It feels like I have been sick this entire month.
I guess it's because I'm such a social butterfly now. We pay a visit to the library every week, then I pop in at a Wednesday playgroup, then it's off to placate the fans at the Thursday Baby/Parent group. I've got to keep the people happy, you know? If that means that I gotta get sick, then I gotta get sick. It's not so bad. I don't even have to wipe my own boogies. Mommy takes care of it for me. If she doesn't catch them with a tissue, then I can just wipe them on her shirt.
I guess being sick is not all great. With a stuffy nose it makes it pretty hard to breathe and suck on my binky at the same time. And, well, no binky means no sleep. Mommy felt so sorry for me that I got to sleep in her arms for a couple of nights! I've decided that I should fall asleep this way EVERY night from now on.
Hey! Do you know what boogies are good for???? Blowin' bubbles! Check it out!!!
A lot has happened in this past month. Here's a quick rundown:
I got my first tooth. It's the bottom left front tooth. The one next to it is comin' up too. I love to chomp on just about anything. Fingers, remote controls, books, nipples.....
I am pretty close to getting mobile. I'll be crawling any day now. I can get to my hands and knees from a sitting position. I can't really figure out how to move forward from there though. If I fall down onto my tummy, I can push back up to sitting again. Daddy is all proud of me. He says that all that pushing up is a good workout for something called "pecks" and "tris".
Speaking of Daddy, this is what I call the pinnacle of entertainment. Get this man an Oscar, will ya?
My vocabulary is growing. Usually, what I do is pick a consonant and vowel combo and then repeat it alllllll day long. This past Sunday is was "buh" and "bah". Today it's "goo", "guh" and "gah". Just to give Mommy and Daddy a treat, I'll throw in a little "ma" or "da" for good measure. It's good to keep them happy. They feed me ya know.
Speaking of feeding, I've decided that I now like green beans. I even started liking bananas and apples. Actually, I eat just about anything that's put onto my spoon. I've even started to tackle the ultra-complicated task of feeding myself rice puffs. Those suckers are really hard to get into your mouth. Especially since as soon as they get wet they stick to EVERYTHING.
I love me some prunes.....
I've started practicing drinking from a cup too. It's loads of fun. I get water everywhere. Wheeeeee! I love drinking from cups so much that when Mommy or Daddy get a glass of water, they have to let me have a sip.
I got a visit from GmaC this month. Since I'm more mature now, we were able to get out and see some sights. We visited the aquarium and I got to see lots of fish. Sending kisses and hugs to my Grandma! Mommy says thanks for the garbage cookies.
Before, I used to sit and cry if I didn't like something. Results would come, but not as fast as I wanted them. But, now, I've figured out that I get what I want a lot quicker if I get my whole body in on the action! For example, I do not want to be seated in the high chair. I could whine, but Mommy would just look at me and continue making dinner. But, if I whine, cry, scream, arch my back, and slam my feet on the tray, I am sure to get taken out. See illustration below....
I met a new dude the other day. Lion. He's pretty big and a little intimidating. I offered him one of my blocks to get him to not eat me. I think we're cool now.
We also did this thing called "hiking". It's pretty fun as long as a pricker bush doesn't reach out and rip the hat off my head. Don't you hate when that happens? I don't have to do much besides sit pretty and look at stuff. Talk about the ultimate in transportation. Don't you wish you could be carried around this way?
Here's the whole family enjoying a little R&R.....
For those of you who think that I don't type my own entries. See proof below. Chew on that, you doubters!!!!
Enjoy these vids. I had to split them in two to get them to download. Sheesh. What a pain. Well, as I say, twice the K.T. twice the fun!!!Here's one of me havin' a good time with my toys. Please excuse Mommy's singing voice......
Here's me enjoying some good times in the high chair....
XXXOOO
Luv ya' all!
