Hi and welcome to another edition of "Mikey's First Year: An Awesome Dude In The Making".
I am officially 6 months old, if you weren't keeping track.
And I do say, shame on you if you weren't.
I'd like to start off this entry with a little art.
Here is a sketch done by my wonderfully talented big sister. The title of this masterpiece is "Mikey Crying."
All the up and coming artists use AquaDoodle, you know. It just enhances the the sense of art in the NOW.
Okay. Moving on.
I'm 6 months old! Yeah, baybeeeeeeee! I did a whole lot this past month. I don't think that I can even remember it all. Good thing we take all these pictures.
So, here is the first thing I did this past month. Check it out!
Nice way to start of the month, eh? I'm a total pro at this now. Forget the whole tummy time thing. You put me on my tummy and, yeah, I just roll over. Ha-Haaaaaa! Suckers. Can't quite figure out how to get from my back to my belly though. Still a work in progress.
Next, I got TWO teeth in the space of two days.
In case you can't find them in this picture, they are on the bottom. Man, they're sharp too. Don't get too close or CHOMP. You might lose a finger.
I've got a few more nicknames now. Mommy likes to call me "Mikey Two Teef". My sister started calling me "Mr. Moo", but now just calls me "Moo." Yeah. I don't get it either. But, I do like it.
Next up, a little Jumperoo action. Okay, so I haven't quite got the whole 'how to jump' thing figured out just yet. But, I do like to play with the toys and hear the little song play. Sometimes, Katie likes to help me out and bounces me all extreme-like and stuff. Mommy puts an end to that real quick.
What else could you have possibly done this month, you ask? LOTS, I answer.
I tried food. Real honest to goodness FOOD. Baby cereal is food, right? Well, it's not milk anyways. I've packed away my fair share of rice and barley cereal and I'm working on oatmeal right now. I love it. It is so choice.
I found out that I can take those toe thingies and stick them in my mouth. I have to be careful not to chomp them though. That would definitely be owweeee.
And my crowning achievement for this month....drumroll please.......
I can stay in a seated position. Joy of joys! It's great to have this whole new perspective. So much to see, so much to do! Time to get workin' on that crawling thing I keep hearing about.
Alas, all in life is not a bowl of warm oatmeal. I do have my sad moments. Mostly they happen when I am hungry or tired.
Let me tell you, it's hard to get in a nap with a big sister who is pretending to be someone she calls Princess SeaWeed. Princess SeaWeed likes to teach herself MarioKart tricks by jumping off the couch and screaming. She also likes to fight monsters with her magic pencil.
This is what I usually look like after a loooooong afternoon listening to vocalized explosions, crashes and many "YAHOOOOOOOOOOO's!"
But then sometimes there's a lull in the action and I can manage to get a little shut eye.
As for sleep at night, well that is a whole 'nother matter. I'm sure Mommy has a lot to say about that. Me, on the other hand, I sleep juuuuuuuuust fiiiiiiiiiiiiine.
Well, I'm off. Got lots to do now. I'm a busy guy.
See ya,
Mikey
