Wow, it's been almost two weeks since we last spoke! It goes by so quickly. Now that I can crawl, I'm very tired when it's time for bed. I have a habit of standing up and sitting down and standing up and sitting down. I usually get hot and sweaty doing it!
I've been exploring around the house a little bit. Crawling on the hard floor is very different than on he fluffy floor. Most times I can't go anywhere on the hard floor because it's so smooth.
On Friday, I went to Grandma Katy's on Friday because my ear hurt pretty bad. I talked with Grandpa and Rick when they came in for lunch. That night we went to dinner with Erin! She was excited to see me crawling.
On Saturday we stayed in because it was rainy outside, so I didn't miss much. On Sunday, we went to Grandma Karen's for dinner. We celebrated Great Uncle Phil's birthday! I tried the meatballs that Grandma made. They are really good! I liked the mashed potatoes too.
I've started eating more meals from the jars now. Mommy gives me bananas that I can eat myself and some little pieces of apple. I also tried strawberry yogurt this week!
Because I'm so big now, 22 lbs at the Dr's office, Mommy bought me some bigger diapers. I haven't used them yet, but Mommy hopes that they work better than the ones I'm in now. I've had a tendency to over fill them in the past week or two. I think that part of it is because I'm eating more real food, and part of it is because of the medicine I've been on.
Mommy had to clean the exersauser this week because somehow it ran down my leg and then I was spreading it around with my feet. Mommy had just changed me for day care too. Yeah, that was a fun time.
Mommy and I went to my cousin's house on Tuesday. Mike was making funny faces at me. They saw me crawl and stand up! They were pretty excited about it. I got to see Luci and Ian too. They have a friend staying with them for two weeks from Germany.
Yesterday, we went to the park for a little while! I played on this rocket and we went down the slide! I of course got to swing for a long time too! See the photos in my album on the right!

Big end to another week!!
I've got news! Big news!
I can get where I want to go all by myself now! Daddy says I'm crawling. At first it was easier to go backwards to get where I wanted. Somehow I'd end up in a corner or something and wind up sitting stuck. Now that I can move and see where I'm going it's pretty fun. I also can get up on my knees usually with my hands on something to keep me steady. I stood on my knees for about 5 seconds last night not holding on to anything just to see if I could do it.
The other cool thing I did today was I got to see Grandpa Carl and Uncle Joe and Rick farming! I got to ride in this big thing with wheels like on my dump truck. It's green and makes loud noises. Mommy calls it a combine. It was so neat! We went up to get inside to see Grandpa. He let me sit next to him. I could see everything.
First there are these points that go in between the corn. And the corn stalks get sucked down into them and the yellow things break off and feed into the middle. It all happens so fast I had to look around a lot to take it all in. We were bringing dinner to Grandpa and he was hungry. He likes Grandma's chicken salad sandwiches.
We rode with Grandpa for what seemed like forever and two seconds all at once. We got out and Daddy was there to take me. Grandpa drove the combine over to our car and gave us curb side service. Our car is small compared to the combine. I sat with Rick in one of the grain trucks. We had matching red shirts on.
Needless to say, I fell asleep in the car ride that was less than 5 minutes to Grandma's. I don't know how Grandpa sits in that thing all day long, it made me tired after 10 minutes! That's an important job though. I hope I can ride again with him.
Grandma Karen hung out with me not once but two times this week!! We had so much fun playing together. I got to see Grace, Braxton, Aunt JohAnna and Zac and Grandpa Ed last Sunday too. Tonight went to dinner at the Grand Cafe. I played with my dump truck while we were there.
Hope you like the photos and my video!

Happy Labor Day!
Mommy said that Labor Day is for people that drive dump trucks like the one I have. I like to turn the wheels on my dump truck. The faster they go around the better. I like anything that has wheels!
On Sunday we went to State Farm Park to celebrate Lily's Mom's birthday. It was lots of fun! I saw both Grandma & Grandpa's, Lily, Megan, Mike and Angela and Lily's Grandma Sue! I also met Mike's sister Kathy and her family. I saw Greg and met Daddy and Mike's friend Chris.
I played with both Grandma's, they make me laugh! They like to tickle me. I let them, cause they give me a break to catch my breath. After the party I fell asleep in the car. Granmda Karen stayed in the car with me while Mommy went in to Meijer.
On Monday we went to see Grandma Katy and Grandpa Carl's. Uncle Tim cooked steak and I ate some carrots! Hailey and I were sharing my puffs. She likes them a lot. She wouldn't share her bread with me though. She also wasn't a fan of Aunt Mary holding me. I can't quite figure it out, but I hope she doesn't hold it against me.
Last night was a good night. Mommy and Daddy were both home and my teeth didn't hurt that bad. Mommy says that I'm working on getting my canine tooth in. It has been hurting a lot off and on.
Tonight has been interesting. Mommy was supposed to work late but she came home early! Daddy and I were very happy about that. She took some video of me making raspberries again. She sure seems to think that's funny.
Happy birthday to Mommy early, it's this coming Sunday. I'd tell you what I got for her, but it's a secret.

8 months and new teeth!
Wow has it been a crazy week and a half! I'm 8 months old now. That seems like a lot. I'm wearing size 12 month clothes. They fit me pretty good. Mommy says that I need to get some shoes or something. She has put some things on my feet before, but I didn't like them much.
A week ago Thursday I had something big happen. I got my first tooth. And then two days later I got a second one! It feels very weird, there are these sharp things that my tongue slides on.
So you would think that the hardest part is the tooth coming out. But that was just the beginning. Ever since they've come out, they have hurt A LOT. That means I'm kinda whiny. It used to feel better when I chewed on something cold, but now that my teeth are out, it's too cold and I don't like them. Mommy finally got me some of these little white things I eat and they melt in my mouth. They make me feel better so I can sleep. I couldn't sleep very good on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. I was up with Mommy from 1:30 - 4 am. Mommy had to get up Daddy and rest because she was so tired.
Daddy let me play on the floor and then eventually he rocked me to sleep. I slept until about 7 am so Mommy could get somewhat ready for work. It was a long day for her and Daddy. I didn't sleep well at day care either.
So, in addition to my new teeth, I saw a lot of awesome people! We went to the corn festival and saw Daddy's cousin Steve. He plays a harp or something. His band was really good, and I wasn't scared by them at all. It was real hot on that Sunday. We walked to this place and it was nice and cool. Mommy let me try some of her hamburger. She had something called pizza.
Mommy has posted lots of pictures and even a few videos of me...the video uploader thingy hasn't' been working so some of them might be a little dated.
