Happy Late Father's Day, Daddy

Dear Daddy,

I am so sorry I didn't do anything special on my website for Father's Day. I was having so much fun playing with you all day that I forgot.

You are the best daddy in the whole world. I am so glad that we have special "Daddy and Me" time every evening. I want to be just like you when I grow up.

I love you,
Linus

P.S. Does my smile in the picture below charm you into forgiving me?

The Mischief Continues

Now that I know how to crawl, I like to go all over the house. Unfortunately, Mommy seems to stay one step ahead of me by raising the blinds, tying up the curtains, and covering the cords from the computer. That leaves me with digging in all the drawers. This drawer is fun because it has all the plastic dishes for the deck.

To help with my discoveries, I have learned how to pull myself up to a kneeling position. Now I can get to much higher objects of interest. Watch out, Mommy! Pulling myself up to a standing position is coming sooner than you think.

Mom, I know this hat is blue, but I think it makes me look like a girl...

Look at me!!!

I finally learned to crawl--two days before my ten month birthday! The first day I was taking two steps at a time, the next day it was several, and now I can crawl all over the place! I am also learning to climb and pull myself up. It is so exciting because I can explore everywhere now!

My Security Toy

Most babies like to have a blanket or stuffed animal for security. I like to be different, so I have a hard plastic toy. It is a very fun toy because it has a yellow fish on top, three rings to spin around, and a green handle that is fun to chew on. I like to make sure it is always close by and I like to sleep with it, too.

you can see my new tooth coming in)

My first experience in a pool

Today, I got to go in a kiddie pool for the first time! It was so much fun. It was nice and warm outside, so the water in my pool was, too. Mommy even put bath toys in the pool for me to play with. I can't wait until I get to swim again!

My Kiddie Pool

This is me playing in my first kiddie pool. You can also see some of the tricks I recently learned, like clapping my hands and shaking my head no.
