I'm on the MOVE!

I like to move it move it! I'm busy all the time now and can explore and move everywhere--and I love it. Today I went and played with my mom's aunt and her cousins. They played with me on the floor and I had a great time. But tonight I played with my dad and we were every where in our house. I'm going to walk soon....I hope my mom's not mad! I'll show you as soon as I do, but for right now, you can watch how big I am riding a bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mobile!!!

I've been extremely busy since I've been on the move. I started crawling on Dec. 13th but that only got me around the living room. NOW, I can go everywhere. I visit the bathroom, and play in the kitchen and I love this little springy thing behind the door. And, now my dad really likes taking me places because I talk to everyone and embarass him a lot! In Florida we even went for a bike ride. One of my favorite places he takes me is the grocery. I have lots of friends there and meet more with each visit. On Saturday he took me to the Crohn conservatory. I saw a cave and lots of plants, but the coolest thing I saw was a donkey and that baby Jesus again. :)This week I started back at "Betsy's". I yelled HI...and waved to all my old friends there Monday morning. But today it has all caught up to me. I'm REAL tired and I do not like to take naps when mom's friends are visiting her. This week Paul, and KC, and Oscar came by. They like me....and I don't want them to miss seeing me. We all play together nicely! I got big brown chair in the mail this week, just like Dad's, so now I can crawl around in it. I haven't figured out how to get out of it yet, but when I fall forward I don't cry--I'm a big boy--no tears.....well UNLESS I'm really hungry. I went to the Dr. this week too, see why I'm so tired? And I weigh 21 lbs now and am almost 10 inches longer than when I was born. I only had to get 1 shot this time so it wasn't so bad. Off to bed....(yawn...)

Just me and my dad....

I had a great time at the beach today. We went outside for a quick 45 minute walk before my nap. But, I got to stay out for 4 1/2 hours. I even ate grouper at my dad's favorite restaurant--the SKOB. I did lots of waving today and met a girl named Corwin who is 2 weeks younger than me. She was funny. Tomorrow I'm hanging with Dadadada again because my mom is playing some card game with her friend Dr. Michaelis. I'd much rather play outside than stay in and play cards...mom doesn't know what she is missing--Dad and I are going to play all afternoon!

Christmas Vacation on Siesta Key!

I'll tell you what, I know why my mom was so excited about this Christmas Vacation thing....we flew on 2 airplanes this morning! My dad got me out of my bed at 4:15 am for this big adventure. AND all the white stuff he played in with me on Thursday....is different now. It's a lot grain-ier and a big pool is right next to it. I don't have to wear many layers, it's really warm outside. I didn't even have to take a nap today, I just played and laughed all day. I was a big waver in the airport and this afternoon at the grocery, I made so many new friends. I LOVE VACATION--my mom and dad play with me all the time. I hope Santa sees me being good, because I'm trying my little heart out. Grandma watched me on Thursday night so my mom and dad could go to holiday stuff and she let me swim in the tub for a long time...I hope my mom and dad let me do that here. Oops, gotta go....I can hear my dad slurping down some grapefruits in the kitchen, and now I can crawl right in there with him!

It's COLD!

I've had a wonderful weekend but man is it getting cold! Mom just doesn't understand that with my shirts on, and a coat, I don't like all that stuff on me in my car seat. It's TOO many layers...I whine but she and Dada don't get it. (So I just go to sleep instead.) My mom took me to "work" with her on Sunday night and I had a great babysitter--Dr. Antenucci, my mom calls him Dr. A. I like A's! Double A (Ann Antenucci) is one of the funniest people I know, we can't stop laughing when we are together...I guess we get kind of distracting, but she is really fun. And she made me some pasta this week, good thing I loved it or my dad would have been really mad at me. (He likes that place for dinner, but he was sick so he didn't get to come with us.) While my mom was busy making bows, Dr. A and I played on the floor with two new friends--Brutus and Piper, one is chocolate--but I can't eat him, and the other is yellow. Dr. A even took me to meet Mr. Claus, he was really cool--I just couldn't stop looking at him. We also saw the nativity and all the animals, but my favorite thing out there is that windmill. I can find it all the time, even when I'm inside. One of my mom's favorite people is coming home from Australia on Monday. I can't wait to meet him in person. My parents say I'll love him...I bet I do!

Thanksgiving Fun

What is this? Am I at Disney Land? Guess not but it felt like it...at my grandparents farm, we just play, and play, and play. Last time I saw these guys I couldn't do anything. Freeman is much bigger. It took me a second or two to start playing because my mom NEVER let me have these suds. I really like 'em! By the end of the tub time, I was showing these fellas how to swim. I'm pretty good, I guess, because 8 adults were in the room watching me swim. I don't need lessons, I'm really very good and I'm fast! I think my dad is afraid, with these webbed toes of mine, he is nervous I might beat Uncle Patrick and Uncle Mark at the backstroke. (Both of those guys would be very embarrassed.) Do all good swimmers have beards?--because they both do and I don't want one! But, that is another thing I love right now. PULLING them is fun!

I ate a lot on Thanksgiving, twice. I gained over 1 lb that week and so this week I have really had to slow down. I'm trying to cut back a little, but with all this crawling I want to do...I need some food! Real soon I'll show you my latest trick. I don't have to stay down when Mama and Dada put me in my crib, I crawl all around and can even pull my bears. Why won't they want to come down and play with me? I'll be nice to them!
