Tales of Exploration

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!
