Oh...you saw me playing in the cupboard?

I don't think I'm old enough yet to wear my pants up to my chest--but thanks anyway, Dad.

I Told You So, Grandpa!

Since I was born, everyone in my family has been telling me I am a carbon copy of my grandpa. I have his chin, cheeks, eyes, and hair color, just to name a few things I inheirited. Mommy and Daddy joke around a lot and tell strangers I am adopted because I don't really look like them at all. The only person who doesn't see the resemblance is Grandpa! He recently sent me pictures of himself as a baby. I attached the pictures below, so you can be the judge.

The first picture is of Grandpa as a baby.

The next picture is a similar one of me.


The next picture is of Grandpa when he was nine months old, like me!

Here is a picture of me with a similar pose, from an earlier posting.


The next picture is the real kicker, because it is of my GREAT-GRANDPA! I look like him, too!

Happy Mother's Day, Mommy!

My mommy is the greatest in the whole world. To show her how much I love her, I had flowers sent to our house for Mother's Day.

Here is a picture of the flowers I sent.

Here is a picture of the card I wrote all by myself!

Daddy and Me

This week was so fun! My babysitter was on vacation, so Daddy stayed home with me for three whole days!

The first day, Daddy and I watched the Discovery Channel. My favorite show was The Deadliest Catch. Daddy and I read books, we wrestled, and we planned for Mother's Day. Daddy and I were so busy that by the end of the day, I fell asleep on the floor while playing with my toys.

The second day, Daddy and I went to the park. Daddy taught me all about dandelions and what happens when you blow on them.


I also learned about grass.


This is what happens to you when you try to eat the dandelions and grass...not cool.


The third day, Daddy and I went to the park again. I really got into the swingset. I kicked my legs and waved my arms whenever Daddy would swing me really high in the air.

Playing Around

Look how much fun Dad and I have together!

Ups and Downs

This week has been full of ups and downs.

Up--I got up on all fours and started rocking back and forth for the first time last weekend. I think I might be crawling pretty soon!

Down--I went to the doctor for a recheck on my ear. A couple weeks ago, I burst my eardrum. I have a very large perforation and it hasn't started to close up yet. I hope it does pretty soon, so I can go swimming this summer!

Up--I was involved in an infant cognition study at a local university. That was pretty cool. The study was to find out how infants learn the difference between beginning and ending sounds in words. I got a t-shirt and Mommy and Daddy got a gift certificate!

Down--I got a cold AGAIN! I have heard that babies get sick a lot, but I have had tons of colds since December, with only a few days in between each one where I actually feel 100%.

Up--Grandma came to babysit me for a whole day! She took me to visit Mommy's classroom and her students. I helped Mommy give a spelling test. I called out whenever Mommy tried to give the students one of their words and then I ripped the whole test page out of Mommy's textbook! I told Mommy's students to stop doing their homework; I was just doing my part.

Up AND Down--Last Sunday, Mommy and Daddy gave me one of those biter biscuits for the first time. I was so excited because biter biscuits are for big babies! Things were going great and I was chewing on it for about an hour when all of a sudden, I started wheezing really bad and broke out in a nasty case of hives! Now I am awaiting blood test results to see if I'm allergic to wheat products.

Like I said, it was a very up and down week for me. Hopefully, things will be more stable this week!
